Is he a proper fan though ? Surely he needs a red wig, red and white chequered trousers, and a bell to show his undying fanaticism and then he'd be on MOTD every week.

My invisible friend supports Man City and reckoned Antonio was the best winger - with Reading connections - since Michael Gilkes.

yes, I'll never forget the odious midget Heath scoring, and the ****s on the pitch after the match.

In many ways the off field antics, and posturing by Tan and MM, play into MM's hands - he can leave with his stock high, and most feeling he's been unjustly dismissed, which is interesting to compare with what King Cornelius states. After today MM has two clubs I expect will be interested in speaking with him, Norwich and West Ham. As for Cardiff, sorry KC but not sure I'd want to rely on Tan involved in the selection of a new manager. Good luck to you though.

For the sake of everyone who was at Highbury in 1984 - we must beat these c^nts.

Just read he's out for 6 weeks. Better close the thread. Cassilas it is then.

Just don't think of Tranmere....

A point away with Gazzaniga and Yoshida in the side would be acceptable.

Is that a convenient injury, to keep him "safe" for the opening of the window ?

Yoshida is a 'mistake per game' player, although not in the Hoiveld OG mould his lapses often gift chances away. Sad to say, I agree.

Has the VMan spoken yet ? That will be the first 'indication' of the team.

Saw this, article that Fulham have given a role to Alan - "did a great job at Charlton"- Curbishley. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25515001 I suspect Meulensteen's days are now numbered. Not sure what "technical" direction Turdishley will provide them, more likely that he is creeping in to position to take over at some point.

I see the Sun has lead with a front page story re AL's marriage. Is it possible the Star are looking to 'spike' this story in a' Lallanafest' ? Timing just coincidental ?

Far more than the £15m mentioned in that article.

Was it implanted in his face ? Might explain sudden appearance of the hair around that region.

Just found this interview with Johnny Lydon ( when of course he was still Johnny Rotten) talking about Jimmy Savile in 1978 0:50 seconds in he's a hypocrite...I know some rumours etc .."

Some local authorities try to, although that's perhaps not a main board topic.

I'm sure I will. My sons have already been talking of a champions/Europa league awayday and it seems great. Just hope the 'down' on this particular roller coaster is not too bumpy or abrupt in its ending.

Wasted ? As in plastered ? (Time to bring back this festive thread to waste away the time)

A good read, and agree with you. As for the original question, I'm not aware that MP is "untouchable" and that people are over sensitive to critiscism. I have had doubts about the appointment, and on the evidence of last season saw little to convince me it was such an "upgrade". This season performances and early results have given a glimpse of what we hope for, and to that extent MP is in "credit" and most recognise the squad issues he still has with injuries. As for it ending "in tears" , I share FF's concern that the club might overstretch in pursuit of (personal ?) glory. Peter Ridsdale being a prime example.

..certainly helped get him the job. Perhaps Fox will go as well, and Gazzaniga become their GK coach.

He's keeping the seat warm for another - currently unavailable target - and I doubt if he'll be there next August.

So is it the character in the soap that was on the game, or the bag who plays her in ?

Possibly not, but I'll raise you this:

Agree totally, I also put his name forward during the summer HCDAJFU thread. Serious question though, does anyone know how he has done this season ?
