I still fear a Pardew-esque 7-3.

And losing four fucking derbies...

Aye, think how much they hate Short considering how much money he spent and then wrote off on the cunts.

A mate of a mate moved to the US about 20 years ago to work for the same firm over there. He made it a condition he'd keep his 25 days or whatever it was instead of going down to 10 which they agreed as long as he kept quiet about it. I couldn't see how the latter would work as I'd imagine a few people would notice. The Americans have it wrong of course about lfewer holidays meaning increased productivity - the Germans are a lot more productive and have shit loads of leave when you count all the religious holidays they have.

Does the nature of the job mean that gardening leave is prone to be abused? How would you prove that he wasn't directing things in a low key manner - maybe that's why they're supposedly relaxed about the waiting period.

No mistakes like that against us, the cunts.

Eddie said a while ago it wasn't based on appearances but other performance criteria - no clue what it could be that you could measure

The ghost of Marcelino.

So we're left with PL and his squad's antics to save the day entertainment wise...

3 yellows for players who were let off a blatant one in the first half.

Lack of strip contrast...

I saw him talking about the bloke who owns Spurs through a trust being a crook and he kept saying that he doesn't own Spurs so there's no consequences and then at the end mentioned that his family trust (classic tax evasion vehicle) owns sixty percent of the club. So he does effectively own them then...

Yeah, I'm not clear what he does really.

I remember the way Eddie talked about watching Tonali play for Milan and wanting him so I don't think Ashworth played that much of a part in that one (for good or for bad - I've seen him getting stick on Twitter for the signing) so as others have said he hasn't exactly unearthed Brighton type gems as yet. Just like with players, if people don't want to be here then fuck them.

Yeah saw that and thought This Mortal Coil's version is much better.

I used to go to a barbers when I was a kid who was the spitting double of Steve Wright - he was called Verne and was made by the long hair fad of the mid to late 70s.

Add in her arse and I have no worries whatsoever.

I remember Chez posting last time that he'd met loads of business men who I'm guessing aren't the more general nut jobs saying they'd vote for Trump no matter what his other policies were as long as he cut taxes. I think there's parallels there with Tory pensioners and the triple lock here.

Wasn't Clough born in Boro? I suppose his name is Irish and he could have ancestry there but don't get the "Came from Ireland and loved Clough" connection.

Murphy mildly fucked his calf in the warm-up so was unusable according to Eddie via Hope.

You would think it was a pen, wouldn't you Jamie? Cunt.

Fuck 0ff with this "penalties" shit.

Canny.

NE top dogs - when it's played and when they win it.

Almiron has been abysmal.
