This sounds almost word for word like the criticism of Poch when we appointed him after his Espanyol sacking - I'm taking that as a positive sign. To be honest, if we get 24 good months out of him then I'll be happy

That team wins the tournament

K Billy, please confirm the other name is not Steve McClaren

It makes you realise that the red half of the city has, it's hard to believe, classier fans. No wonder the red half is bigger and so much more succesful. Why would you grow up in Liverpool and support the ****e club anyway?

I have just genuinely installed adblock for ios and it worked!

but the premier league reset *everything*... means the blue few can't claim their titles mind you :-)

Lets do that

One of your company's old clients, Rapha, is in Kentish Town and that was my pub of choice post account management meeting

I didn't realise how much I hated those cuunts until I just celebrated them losing their only chance at a league title. Fuucking brilliant! Only downside is that Dier should have been sent off and banned for our game

I can't, he came on Eileen

It's Hoddle's fault

What went on with Joe Allen when he was subbed - seemed like he got a bit chatty with the crowd? Great result - was my daughter's 13th birthday and my brother in law's 44th birthday so didn't go but we all went mental when we saw Mane score the winner (obviously had it on ;-))

that's a bit Aladddine

Whole family cheered

Nivea boy missed the crucial penalty. Brilliant, rescued the weekend!

Well, to be fair to me, I'm a techny nerd not in advertising but was able to vicariously live out my Mad Men fantasies for a year through the actions of my colleagues I think the general gist was that digital is driving the cost of "old" advertising down through improved analytics on what actually works (not just clicks on ads) and obviously the ability to target people better than a TV ad campaign (as so much is tracked it's easier to get that click by offering more relevant ads), and obviously an ad that might only be seen for 5 seconds is not going to cost that much. Still, I've quit now so I'm just here to be marketed at ;-)

To be honest mate, we never met - I think I saw him in the company video Christmas 2014 but I was working in a different bit and then buggered off last August

I worked briefly for the same digital agency as ericb on here and was out on a board meeting jolly thing when one of the chief ad people (for that is 80% of the cash for said company - producing and managing digital ad campaigns) said something very interesting. The analytics that are possible for digital adverts - what you look at, what you click on, what works, what doesnt', have driven down ad prices offline as well as it's proven how little effect these things can have on you as a person. Basically, the Don Drapers of the 50s / 60s / 70s pumped up the importance of marketing to massive levels where you could commission a multi-million $ campaign etc. due to the lack of any direct proof of what you are producing makes people buy it. In digital you get an almost immediate validation, and massive returns, but the costs are tiny - hence print dying (along with all the free news / twitter etc.) To be honest, I'm an avid reader of it, but I've always felt that BBC news website is anti-competitive compared to say The Indy or whatever. ANyway...

there was, and I have trawled YouTube trying to find it to no avail. it was epic

He spent years saying he didn't need a decent keeper. Suddenly has Cech and they are right up there.

ha ha - that made me laugh :-) cracking result - well played FF

Cracking point. Up to 7th above the bin dippers. Result

I was wondering this the other day when i was in Winchester College sports hall - Jason is now the Winchester college coach along with Lew Chatterley!

Alan Shearer vs Arsenal? Nicky Banger vs Oldham? Craig Maskell vs Liverpool for sure on 8 minutes (to make it 2-0 in Alan Ball's first home game in charge). Francis Benali vs Leicester (if you ignore the other 250 odd games ;-))
