Howay

Pretty much aye. The worry about relegation is if they decide to keep Carver as manager if they go down, maybe seeing it as 'his level' (which it's still way above). Always looking for the cheap option and I have a worry they'd do a Hughton if we went down and have him just remain manager with little to no acknowledgement from above, of course unlike Hughton it'd be a complete disaster and he'd have us fighting off another relegation.

Definately forgot to put in a recall clause this Charnley nob is as shite at his job as Carver is at his. This is incredible. If Ashley would just appoint actual qualified people we would be a good side by now, the prem is full of absolute morons, look at how tragic we have to be to be in the running to finish below Sunderland and co.

Aye they could have appointed an actual football manager when Pardew left instead of just deciding to write half a season off.

Depressing article as per usual, no idea how you can keep a bloke in charge after he has said that no one is listening to him and now supposedly offering to step down. It's completely ridiculous. Comments like this one: "Eh but I thought it was all Alan Pardew's fault? You know the "Sack Pardew" campaign and all that..." need to die a death as well, I'm not sure how this line of logic that if we wanted Pardew out we deserved to get Carver has come about, then every single fan base that wants their under performing manager out deserves to see their club go and appoint a person who is completely unqualified for the job. Anyway Palace's winning run is over, 3 losses on the bounce and it could easily go till the end of the season. Sick to death of this season, how many times have we felt like this at the end of a season under Ashley? seems like it's every year now.

Team positive.

The only planning I'm crediting them with is scrawling '1 - McClaren' and then '2 - ??' on a piece of paper under the title 'possible managers'.

Honestly man you couldn't make it up, stung yet again by their first choice and they have absolutely no second option. The planning under this regime has been a complete joke.

Think he sees it as somewhat of a silver lining but so far he seems to be more upset about the prospect of relegation than I am.

He has this kind of confidence often tbh, rarely does it pay off like this one seems to be.

That's the odds my mate hoyed 40 quid on, the fucking prick

I reckon McClaren said no so they've sat John down and told him he's staying in charge. I imagine John's head hit the table in frustration before he said "whatava gorra do man Lee?" Before tearing up. His statement about no one listening to him screamed of a bloke wanting the sack.

What a load of fucking bollocks, we're down then the daft shites.

This sums it up for me, he cruised through that fight, Pacquiao struggled to land his punches and didn't attempt as many as I thought he would. I thought maybe after winning round 4 Pacman realised how much effort it was going to take to keep that up and actually win the fight, but it could have been a multitude of other reasons as to why he didn't throw more punches. Mayweather done a thoroughly professional job, there wont be a rematch as I don't think Mayweather really wanted this fight in the first place just the money was insane.

Battle of the dodgy 80's haircuts. Carver was probably stood there keeping everyone at bay "let them fight it oot" but no one listened and pulled them apart.

I'm assuming he thinks he's completely exempt from that despite being the bloke that chose the team, set up the "tactics" and made any subs and alterations during the game.

I think it's a bit harsh criticizing him for missing the play-offs as well, he had that team in the play-off final last year and they were by far the better team just got caught out on QPR's only fucking shot on target. Then almost had them in the play-offs again this year, wouldnt surprise me if he was distracted by all the press linking him with us.

Aye fuck that, I'm glad Pardew left. Also he wasn't forced out at all he left to go from 500k a year to 2m a year and move back to London, he'd have stayed until his contract was over or he got the boot if that offer didn't come along. Just because we got Carver doesn't mean people were wrong wanting to see the back of Pardew, we clearly all wanted a football manager appointed, not many clubs are tight enough to do what ours did. So again that, like Pardew leaving, falls on our tight cunt owner and not the fans. Pardew's also on a 3 match losing streak of his own which could quite easily become a 6 match losing streak, they'll pipe down championing him soon enough.

Mayweather is utterly riveting to watch so that'll help

Aye squared to him in the locker room iirc. I'm not hating it as much this time around mind as the last 4 or so seasons have thoroughly kicked the emotion out of it for me.

I'm sure Iron Mike will still be about doing lunges in his weighted vest, he could survive a nuclear blast the fucking cockroach so a summer clear out wont shift him.

Aye the absolute deflation going from Pardew to the bagpuss look a like that yelled at them in broken English when Pardew was off filing his nails. I'd have been straight on the phone to my agent while being completely ignorant to my part in the mess. Is that what little Vern does? I thought he was just there to cheer the lads on.

Dummett is definately just feining injury btw. Like rats jumping off a burning ship this lot.

Aye plus they'll get egged on by the fact we're stuttering so much.

might meet them in the middle
