Howay

He's either completely clueless and therefore not fit for the position or he's fully complicit and should be locked up, either way him being voted in yet again can only be because he's keeping all those around him in the money which makes it even worse again! He'll get locked up when he retires then write a best seller about his decades long bender as head of FIFA.

Oh aye I remember that now, yet another reason he was completely ill suited as DoF alongside going on holiday every transfer window, every player he knows being retired and generally being a pisshead.

Aye it's ridiculous. Hope Platini breaks UEFA away from them, FIFA is completely fucking rotten.

Forgot that one, he talks so much shite it's hard to remember it all. Palace have a winner there.

http://www.espnfc.us/blog/espn-fc-united-blog/68/post/2291796/jocelyn-gourvennec-guingamps-answer-to-jurgen-klopp If he's anything like this article makes him out to be it'd be canny, I'd love to see a bloke who's forward thinking and young but I fear Ashley's profit driven goals may put blokes like him off. I still think it's going to be McClaren, which I'm okay with but I would prefer someone with a bit more potential about them. Edit: "One of the most intelligent players of his generation, Gourvennec has become one of the shrewdest coaches. " He's not coming here then. He would seem like a good choice if Ashley was actually meaning to build something here, we all know he's full of shit though so I can't see how Ashley could attract him here tbh, doesn't seem the sort that's tempted by money and even if he was we're not the sort of club that now offers enough to sway people too much.

Aye looks like complete and utter shite

Liverpool as winners and Jack Rodwell as signing of the season, shocking predictions.

It's going to be great when he is appointed as mackem manager so he can fully turn into the total winnet that he is. No doubt the mackems will bring up the casa St James' thing again as if any of us give a fuck, they'll dine out on that until they inevitably turn on him around mid season and appoint someone new before we play the cunts 2nd time round.

Player of the Season (can be talent or performances I suppose?) - Perez / Janmaat both for me, Perez has been a bit of a shock as he wasn't expected to contribute but more often than not got us points and actually tried, Janmaat always tried and looked as good as many thought after settling in quick, grew as the true leader of the team despite Coloccini wearing the captain band as an accessory. Worst player of the Season - Riviere/Coloccini/Williamson, I agree with Stevie that we all expect Williamson to be shite but he always deserves a mention, Coloccini has continued to get worse and seemed to give less of a fuck by the game, Riviere has been a massive disappointment. Best Moment - Pardew Leaving / Jonas goal Worst Moment - Carver getting the role till the end of the season. Best Goal - Perez flick against WBA Best Game - The last one v West Ham and beating Chelsea. Worst Game - Mackem derbies Worst Pardew quote - Anytime the cunt opened his mouth. Worst Carver quote - "I still believe I'm the best coach in the Premier League"

Completely summed them up there.

I think HMHM is right that Carver is always up to giving Ryder the news so Ryder writes pro-Carver articles knowing if some foreign coach come in (or even one from elsewhere in the UK) they'd see him for the total fuckwit he is and not bother with his questions about how Mike Williamson is recovering from the dramatic Eastenders episode he watched and if he'll be back in the starting line up. Absolute fucking bellends the both of them and it's incredibly they're in the positions they are in, if Ryder wrote a sports blog he'd be ridiculed but somehow he gets fucking paid to write.

How was it anything to do with Hull you inbred cunt? We finished above your rabble and Villa, so if Hull had been better Villa would have been down. Always next year for your bunch too.

:lol: The plight of that bloke bottom left in the red polo, I guarantee whatever he's yelling has some reference to Sterlings race.

Monumental kicking by HF here, cracking response.

Class as always HMHM and that tweet is brilliant too, what a fucking knacker this bloke is.

Aye I suppose, did win a trophy, albeit against poor opposition but he got there I suppose. I don't think he's amazing by any stretch just better than Pardew.

Aye I prefer McClaren over Di Matteo for sure, ignore the England stuff as International football is a very different type of management and McClaren has a canny record. I also think Laudrup has very little chance of happening and if it does a walk out putting Carver back in charge would be very likely, meaning fuck that.

But he was probably their best player or at least one of their best, like I said he does deserve blame as all the members of the squad do but definitely no more than the others. They conceded 53 goals which isn't exactly very good defensively, Newcastle conceded 10 more than them but we scored a lot more and our top scorer also got 11. As Andrew has just said I think it's overly simplistic to say he was mostly the lone man up top so he deserves most the blame, he did his job admirably scoring basically 40% of their goals which is a heavy burden. The rest of the squad simply weren't pitching in with their fair share. Players go through patches and his form didn't stay consistent but he's also 22 years old and was in his first Premier League season, I don't think it's fair to attribute him as having more blame than others tbh. They went down as a squad of 25 players, a squad that simply wasn't good enough. He played alongside Vokes last season and the two of them were very successful, Vokes was injured and missed a lot of this season and never settled into Premier League football afterwards as the team was already fighting relegation, so it was a 22 year old lad, in his first Premier League season, playing up top alone when he was used to playing in a two, at the head of a team that was basically the same side they had in the Championship. They were predicted to come bottom by most pundits, which shows how poor their squad was seen to be. I don't feel like he is largely to blame at all and sure Dyche will have quotes saying he wishes they took their chances but most clubs can say that, I'm sure Pellegrini said that a couple of times this year and they had the league top scorer up front.

I've been insulting Krul's choice of hair style on here his entire career and he is yet to change it, he doesn't take notice of internet forums.

Aye I do think it'll be McClaren tbh, we already know they have shown interest in him and they were seemingly willing to pay the compo, now with no compo to pay I think he's their man.

This argument is really about if Danny Ings is the major reason for Burnley's relegation or not? Of course he's fucking not. The only players that outscored him were: Aguero, Kane, Costa, Austin, Sanchez, Berahino, Giroud, Hazard, Benteke, Pelle, Rooney and Silva. As far as chances being created they weren't all falling to Ings, by December the player who had taken the 2nd most shots in the Premier League without a goal was Ings teammate and fellow striker Lucas Jutkiewicz with 31 (Balotelli was above him with 45), a player they brought in after getting into the Premier League and he ended the season with no goals from 25 appearances. Burnley didn't have enough quality throughout the side, that's why they went down. Austin scored 18 goals and his team still went down so is he to blame for his side going down and be punished from joining a Premier League side? Ulloa was Leicester's top scorer, with 11 goals, his side stayed up because their team scored more in general than Burnley, they had more quality throughout the side. Leicester scored 46 goals in total, Burnley scored 28 meaning Ings scored about 39% of his sides goals, Ulloa scored 23% of his. Ings isn't a massive superstar, they bought him for under a million quid I'd say they got a great return from the lad, scoring 21 goals in their promotion season and more than his fair share of goals in the Premier League. It's not solely down to him. Does he deserve some blame? of course, every member of the side deserves some blame as it was a joint effort but to want to block the bloke from moving to another Premier League side because you think he is solely to blame for a 25 man squad being relegated isn't a fair assessment of the lad. FWIW I think Ings has potential, he's 22 and managed a good return in this league, I just hope he moves to a club where he plays.

He'd probably be one that Ashley likes, especially without having to pay any compo. I flat out cannot see Carver being appointed, I understand Ashley loves the cheapest option but I think that emotion he showed during the final game was a man nervous about his investment losing money, a substantial amount of money. Appointing Carver will guarantee the clubs relegation next year, his run (which was the best part of half a season) was worse than you could have predicted really, Ashley's not an idiot, a cunt yes but not an idiot and appointing Carver would simply endanger future profit. I'm not saying Ashley will suddenly go out and start spunking money on players and a top coach, but he'll get a capable football manager in. It will probably be a one he can get on a low wage and for no compo but it'll be a football manager. If he was really willing to put anyone in charge that happened to be the cheapest he could just go to a dole queue and pick a random bloke from that every week and I don't think the results would be all that different from what Carver managed.

Aye I enjoyed it too, I thought Hoult was very good in it.
