Howay

Apparently Blatter was sure that he had convinced the committee the £1.3m payment made to Platini from FIFA was legitimate, why would that ever be legitimate? It's an utterly bizarre organization. Really hope this is the end for this utter cockroach. The president of Sierra Leone's FA has jumped to his defence, if I was Blatter I'd tell my mates like him to be quiet as it honestly just makes Blatter look worse. I hope they learn from this and put some sort of maximum term rule in place as having the same bloke in charge of something like this since 1998 was only ever going to mean a fair amount of corruption, I'm sure they wont learn a fucking thing mind.

Hope he gets better, proper legend and it's no age for him to go if he does. Always comes across as a top bloke as well.

Pretty impressive that they have so much hatred towards a bloke that didn't really do much to them other than happen to play for us for a bit. Edit: Unless I'm missing something? Oh it's also fantastic that a bloke posted a pic of a potato, an obvious and genius dig (I guess) at the fact Duff is Irish, while having an Irish blokes face as his avatar.

Aye he can get to fuck. Thrilled we don't have to hear his utter shite patter every week now. When did he try to play attacking football? even with a team brimming with confidence and capable of going on to cuff teams he regularly put the brakes on and sent them out to defend a 1-0 lead after halftime during the season we came 5th. It's also telling that he thought 9th place was over-performing. Those quotes scream of someone that is thrilled to bits at being the big fish in the little pond. He must be looking into ways to lengthen Yohan Cabaye's career because without him he would have never managed us to 5th or got Palace to where they are atm. Much like Fat Sam we're the biggest job he'll have so he wont ever stop talking about NUFC and of course it's easy to just blame the fans as that way there's no real comeback.

I do think there have been signs mind, we've played canny football over the last few week and the team definitely put in a lot more effort than we've seen. The Villa draw was disappointing but none of us predicted 7 points from those 3 games so it's looking a bit better than it did. I still think we're going to struggle until we get some proper CM's in the side as McClaren's system demands a lot from them and we have 2 who can only put in a shift defensively but offer little to nothing on attack.

I switched it off when Madrid scored their 7th, there wasn't even a cheer.

The Man Utd stuff is brilliant btw. After being told repeatedly when Fat Sam was here that we should just accept the utter dross football as long as we were in and around mid-table they're now all moaning their tits off about the dross LVG is serving up even though they're level on points with 4th place. Bunch of spoiled glory hunting babies, I'm sure they'll hire that utter bellend Mourinho and he'll have them challenging for a few years before he falls out with everyone but it's been enjoyable to watch their lot whinge since Ferguson retired.

Aye they've shown us and a fair few other clubs up this year.

Rondons was a straight red too for headbutting Gosling, they were both violent conduct so surely 3 game bans for both?

Aye Thauvin put in a few good crosses after he came on, would be nice to see more of him. Dummett was having a rough time against Hutton in the first half and it was only going to get worse as the game went on, he should have been subbed off for Mbabu even just for the fresh legs.

Just saw McClean's challenge there, what a vile cunt he is man. It's lucky the Bournemouth player had jumped slightly or that would have been a leg breaker.

Aye, really disappointing today.

Aye they can fuck off, they've sunk to Villa's level today. I know the pitch hasn't helped but we should have beat these today.

It's getting bad this like, Villa all over us here. Our lot need to give their heads a shake and get on with the game here.

Fuck sake man

De Jong should have scored there, Villa are shocking. Here comes Ayoze.

Mackems claiming we should be punished for seeking an unfair advantage due to the state of the pitch Are we playing on a different pitch to Villa like? I'd say the rain slowing the ball down causes us more problems then the shite team we're facing.

Yeah the ball is really starting to stick now.

Get in Colo!

Cisse looks hurt here, hamstring from the look of it.

That's the biggest problem with trying to accomodate De Jong for me, moving Wijnaldum out wide means he has a lot less impact on the game.

2 in 13 minutes now

Chelsea up after 5 minutes, class.

Aye Bramble was heavily let down by his concentration. He often had some of the best strikers in the league frustrated but you could almost guarantee he'd slip up at one point in a match and it often led to a goal. I remember watching us against Chelsea and he had Drogba in his pocket all game, was barely getting a touch of the ball let alone any chances, then Chelsea hoofed the ball up and it should have been a routine header but Bramble completely mis-read the flight of the ball and it sailed over his head onto Drogba's boot setting up a one on one which Drogba scored. Frustrating player for sure as he had the size, strength, ability on the ball, and speed to be a top centre half but he just couldn't maintain his concentration for 90 minutes.

Probably grew up saying football was for the poor, utter embarrassment. I see Jeremy Clarkson piped up about it as well, apparently a Chelsea fan, from Donny and used to remark about how shit football was compared to rugby .
