If it turns out not to be true, I SINCERELY hope Oliver still goes ahead with his front and back page spread. It would eclipse the Emerton gaffe no bother. Sackable offence too, surely!

You're sat with your ear pressed to the speaker to be first to report the news, aren't you?

Aye, I pretty much agree. Although it is tinged just a hint of missed opportunity.

Will any bookies take a double on Roeder getting the job and N-O going down simultaneously, do you think?

The lad over on NO or a source of yours?

Not if he's going to make me listen to George Michael afterwards. 127191[/snapback] Fast Love. Literally.

Scouring the globe tbh.

O'Neill will be kicking himself for messing us about over the England job if he ends up with neither. He could have had this in the bag months ago.

If it's true, I'd like to be the first to register my approval of the decision. No he's not a big name, but he knows the club, he knows what we're about, and he's making a decent fist of it at the mo. So good luck to the bloke if it is him.

So do you think Houllier should "go upstairs" in a DOF position? I personally think it will be unlikely he would and if he came he would want to manage the team. However i would expect Roeder to be first team coach, well he better be I do not want Phil fucking Thompson anywhere near our team. 127143[/snapback] Well it would seem the logical step to me. Houllier must be getting on these days is he not? Old head advising younger up and coming manager. I'd be happy with what you suggest too, but if one of them was to be DofF, surely it would have to be Houllier.

So......if we beat Birmingham (away) at the weekend, and Blackburn lose to Charlton (away), we would be 3 points ahead of them, and whilst they'd have a game in hand, they'd have an inferior goal difference. It's all gonna go down to a nasty nailbiter on the last day of the season isn't it?

It would be typical Shepherd to make the appointment the wrong way round. Clubcall aren't too reliable are they?

Him and Houllier are meant to be good mates, so I reckon they'll form a decent working partnership. The Houllier/Evans thing was a bit different cos the two blokes didn't really know one another and Evans must have felt he was being undermined. If boundaries were clearly defined I think you can make something like that work. Having said that I don't think Freddy will go down this route - we would have to effectively pay two manager's wages for a start, which I can't see appealing to him.

Nasty business. Unfortunately these idiots who blow themselves up to make some sort of statement aren't gonna go away. It's a shame one of them can't come back and dispel the 72 virgins myth and knock this whole suicice bomber thing on the head. Sounds like a job for Derek Acorah tbh.

Not sure, but you can understand it - I'd need to be drunk pretty much 24 hours a day to live in Germany tbh. Vermin, Fawlty!

Shola's goalscoring record when compared to Bellamy's makes interesting reading.

It was the way you used the trowel as a sort of "shoe horn" which got me.

Titus has looked good since he came back actually. Not sure whether it's to do with Moore or just his new-found concentration and confidence.

Aye I thought it was brilliant on Sunday. At first when he took off running I couldn't work out where he was going, but when he stopped and did that dance it was class.

You're forgiven because you'd actually seen him play when you made this assessment. As to the rest of your post - I agree he should have been sent off v Spurs, and he got lucky. But I've not really got anything against someone taking the dirty approach when faced with a top striker. As long as he's still on the pitch after 90 minutes that is. I think he's looked composed on the ball (not just when compared with Boumsong), strong in the tackle and strong in the air. And he seems to make his gob go a bit which we need as well. He does make the odd daft challenge, but like I say, if he's still on the pitch at the end of the 90 I'm not too worried if he lets the opposition know what he's about.

Welcome L/1986. Who's the daddy?? 127106[/snapback] Snakehips invites all the new boys for a tour of his green house. Don't go.

Haway then, hands up who dismissed him as a drunken no-hoper when Souness signed him (for free, by the way!). Don't be shy, we're all friends here.

John Oster back in the Premiership. <<< shot in the eye.

I've definitely warmed to the idea.

Which fucking imbecile wrote that?
