Barry the Badger

He lost his way with Hull towards the end, but ultimately he got them into the Premiership, which was a damn fine acheivement. Seems a bit of a self publicist, and a bit slimy, but I wouldn't care if we were winning.

For me, Vettel wins that league hands down for somehow getting the team to back him after he drove into Webber in Turkey (I think).

Didn't he try to claim it was just the angle of the photo? The fat f*ck.

mwa hahahahahaha. Wish the interviewer had some balls though. Instead of "no Harry I didn't mean it like that" should've been "sorry did I say wheeler dealer, I meant to say c*nt"

Well if Martin O'Neill is not good for us, then I really am lost.

I have to say, although this situation sucks, I do enjoy the rumour mill. So far, from various friends I have heard.... Shearer spotted at SMS... Strachan seen at West Quay... O'Neill been at training ground... Paul hart at SMS... Phil Brown interview tomorrow... Eddie Howe spoke to Cortese after Carling Cup game... If they're all true we really are casting our net wide!

Or he could have been shopping.

At the end of the day he's not in trouble unless the owners think he's doing a bad job. We could shout and scream all we like but it is up to them.

what a d*ck

Depends on the post and the person. Pompey Takeover Saga = more sexy than Alan Curbishley

Aren't you a bit sad getting a boner over Alan Curbishley?

Ooooh, "a brand new thread", I thought to myself. "how exciting, I wonder what it could be about". Imagine my disapointment to find that it was just ANOTHER person who thinks their opinions on the manager situation deserves it's own thread. PS anybody other than Mourinho and I will be distinctly underwhelmed.

Jewell is a serial bottler IMO. As soon as things get tough he legs it.

Well there's something we agree on.

What would you like them to say?

Wilkins did a good job at Brighton. I think they finished 7th in his only full season.

Why? What do you know that we don't?

Will you two please take your ITK show off fest onto PM.

Oh good, I always love it when the "I'm ITK but I'm not going to tell you" brigade get a chance to act like tw*ts.

"Hey Gianfranco, you're Italian, I'm Italian, I don't really know you but will you be my new best friend? Because we're both Italian you see."

Wow, somebody has been bottling that up for a while :-)

I can only imagine you are on a wind up after getting stick earlier in the week for starting a completely unnecesary new thread.

What happened to the "massive gaps" in our squad that were going to cost us promotion?

In shock and don't really know what to make of it. Has there been a falling out or was this just always the plan? I trust the way Cortese has run the club so far (bar a few PR gaffes), and I think we will only really be able to judge this move in hindsight.

Ah yes, back when ITV gave us 'The Lewis Show'. Still think Legard is worse though, the number of times he just talks over Brundle or completely misses the point of what he is saying.
