Don't mention the war

Idiot is still gifting "just scrape into 17th place in the Premier League" points to Sunderland

But he is our "scout" and a lot of the recent options appear not really to be up to it. I accept that he does not sign them, and may be putting forward other, more expensive or older options, but surely he is also recommending the likes of Thauvin, Cabella, De Jong, etc, who while they may be well-credentialed overseas, do not appear to be able to handle the Premier League (or even Division 2, or wherever Sheffield Wednesday are now)

Just Adelaide, I believe

Fantastic phrase

Foxtel does a pretty good job, with the Rugby Championship, Super 15, NRC, ITM Cup, Currie Cup, as well as every match of the World Cup, most of the 6 Nations, and various rugby related programmes throughout the year.

Don't encourage him

I know he was at fault on Monday, but he looks as though he knows how to take a free kick or corner, which does not involve floating it across for goalkeeping practice

Interesting choice of shirt he is wearing stretching

Exactly. That was precisely what Pardew would not do, because he (rightly, probably) assumed he would have no other option. As soon as he did, he ran, but presumably on the basis that he would not criticise his former employer.

This.

That was Campbell wasn't it?

Most of them probably can't string two words of English together, without an "um" or "er" - how are they supposed to remember whole words? If they could use text speech, they may be better.

We need at least 2 replacements for him, but if that were the case, I would be willing to let him go. Even in the West Ham match, when we were 2-0 up in the 91st minute, he was trying to pick a fight, which is exactly why he missed 10 games through suspension. In addition, his knee still looks f*cked.

He is Lee Ryder!

So am I, especially with the suggestion that Steve Black will be part of the coaching staff, if true. I think he would make a massive difference, in terms of both physical and mental fitness (the latter probably being even more important for our crowd of cheese eating surrender monkeys)

This - defence is crucial, so we put less pressure on everyone else

Bell got a century in the WI, as well

Didn't we hire a fitness guru this season to ensure this would not happen?

Already done, thanks

Even batting to 11, with not bowlers, we can't get 400 these days

Or will it result in a points deduction, meaning that having saved ourselves (or more likely ManU having saved us), we get relegated anyway

Neither of them would be staying

Carv's "best coach in the Premier League" sound bite was played on ABC News Radio's sports news this morning Not in a good way either

Brilliant article HF - captures the position exactly
