Optimistic Nut

Hehe, very good.

Hahaha! At first I thought this was just Isegrim rehashing last night article and having a carry on, then I picked up the Chronicle...fecking hell. And he still has to stick his oar in.

Most random sig ever?

Is Sibierski good on this? I've loaned him out to Lille, and in 6 games, he's scored 10 with an average rating of 8.75!

Some people are having a go at him, yet this is the same man who was Fitness Coach when we had that season we had about 9 comebacks from behind. I think it's more a case of the players not being as good, than something he's doing wrong.

IMO, that would be as good a time as any. Much sooner lose him after a game we'd have lost anyway, than after another crap 1-0 home defeat against a team who with another manager we'd have won the game.

Was going nowhere fast with that game, changed the editor to give me a "Geordie Abramovich". Gave myself £130m with a £40m transfer kitty. Signed Wayne Bridge for £10m, Cristian Zaccardo for £5m, Igor Tudor for £2.5m, and Defoe for £12m. 4 games in...14th.

Off to Chelsea for a £400k compensation fee tbh.

Or, from kick-off, just get all 10 outfield players huddled in a circle around the ball for the 45 minutes.

Given Ramage Babayaro Moore Taylor Milner N'Zogbia Parker Butt Dyer Martins

Imagine them next week at full-back up against Clichy, Eboue, Hleb, etc. running at them.

And that man will probably one day be Assistant Manager at Newcastle.

Still pottering around in mid-table which is good for me! Strange managerial appointment...Eriksson to Norwich.

What's more tragic is that we have 4 centre-backs and there's very little difference between the lot of them.

He was smiling actually! Was pretty scary.

In Players Bar last night, who should I bump into, but the Zog. He was getting the usual handshakes and that so thought I'd put my French to use. He looked a bit shocked at a 6 foot 6 lanky string of piss coming upto him talking his lingo saying "Ca va?" Didn't really know what to say so just said "well played this afternoon" and he said "thanks". Then I said, "you're better than Duff" and he simply said "I know". (all in French) Also shook Stevie Taylor's hand outside the Gate waiting for a taxi.

Back in the Premiership, transfer activity was Butt, Litmanen & Bosvelt all released, Mikel (£5m), Adu (£3m), Demel (£4.2m), Chopra (£3m) & Pennant (£4.7m) all in. After starting the season with 6 winless games and rock bottom, have turned it around and after 21 games lie in 6th place with 8 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

Right, those last 5 minutes have to be the benchmark for our season now.

Great play by Emre.

Can anybody seriously say we'd have been worse today with Luque & Rossi up front?

We finally get that one good ball in ten and Ramage panics.

Parker & Emre collide near the centre-circle in a sh*te display at Man City... ...Roeder out Monday morning.

On a losing run Leaking goals for fun Hoping Glenn will soon be gone, Coca Cola here we come Right back where we started from Well, Glenn's a useless c*nt Bramble weighs a ton Look, here's cock-up number one Coca Cola here we come Right back where we started from Coca Colaaaaaaaaa Here we coooooommme Roeder's sinking low To Barnsley we go Fred, for f*ck sake sack him now Coca Cola here we come Right back where we started from Pass it on the floor We've became a bore Route one's not the way to go Coca Cola here we come Right back where we started from Coca Colaaaaaaaaaa Here we cooooooommmmmeeee Coca Colaaaa Coca Colaaaaaaaaa Here we coooooooommmmmeeee Ohhhhh!

What we need is goals. Smith doesn't get you that. Look what happened a few years ago with him at Leeds. Played well but because his finishing was poor, they went.
