I was thinking a similar thing.

Would love Mourinho but for some strange reason I wouldn't be disappointed if Shearer got it.

True enough. And don't any of the Allardyce Out crowd give me any shite about how they KNEW Allardyce couldn't turn things round, cos they didn't. We look ridiculous again. I think I may have to put a contract out on the Allardyce out brigade if it's McLaren or any other shite for that matter. Put your money away dude, if we appoint McClaren I'll finish myself off. Don't you do that on a daily basis anyway?

Stomach flu then.

Got to face one of the big boys at some time blah blah blah...

He thinks the Beckhams are quite funny too!

Didn't Sam turn down down the job the first time because of Shearer and the influence he had at the club or did I just make that up?

you've more chance getting a cow to shit gold. 3-0 and a sending off for one of ours. oh and yet more calls for Sam's head as if this result is unexpected, even under Robson or Keegan, this team of ours against that team of theirs... I'd expect us to be bent double with pants in our mouth, clutching our ankles as we're roughly and thoroughly buggered by the Blues. Give it a rest Dave. As people have said time and time again, it's not so much the result, it's the performance (or lack of). If Sam played people in their correct positions and we could see a battling performance on the pitch then there'd be far less people calling for Mahoosive Sams overly large head. That said, I see a 4-0 to them.

Merry Christmas all!

I noticed today the big difference between viduka and smith is that viduka only needs a split second to get a shot off. Smith on the other hand needs a touch, a look at goal, a heeeouuuge back lift and then a swing at mid air as the defender takes the ball off him. Just look at our first goal yesterday for proof. Tbf that's probably a confidence thing. If Smith got a proper[/souness] run in his favoured position then he'd start banging them in. Unfortunately, with the big fat loon we currently have in charge, that doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.

Can't agree with that, no one will be fooled by that performance or result. I beg to differ. We weren't that great in the previous two games yet the Sky pundits were churning out the old "turned the corner" cliche before the game.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More papering over the cracks but who gives a fuck at the mo!

So who would have put money on newly promoted, Championship play off winners, Derby doing the double over us this season?

FYP

GET IN!!!!!

FFS!!

Where's Enrique?

A common cold then.

And... Impatient arseholes who try to get on the tube/train before you've had chance to get off. Cheeky fucks who stand a few yards before the coach stop so they can get on first without queuing. Dozy bints who pretend to be asleep on coaches so you can't ask them to move their fucking bag and sit down. Traffic lights on round-a-bouts. Twats that stop at the top or bottom of escalators. Tax. Slow arse drivers/knobs who don't know where they're going so they drive at 5mph looking for signs. Dickheads who sit on the weight machine for about 5 mins after they've finished using it, despite knowing you're waiting to use it. Arseholes who claim they didn't recieve the item they bought from you off eBay. Money grabbing spineless ex's

Think I posted this around the same time last year, but can't be arsed to look for it. 1. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each. 2. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which! seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second --- 1,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. 3. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them --- Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). 4. 600,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second crates enormous air resistance --- this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporised within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accelerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17,500 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs. 5. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.
