  1. For literally twelve years all people have done is whine about the fact we buy "mediocre foreign shite" instead of "promising young English players" and no-one's ever been good enough to wear the shirt when they sign (apart from Ziege, Kewell and Joe Cole). Dependable, our fans.
  2. Commoli's been to see QPR at least twice this season - the first time was back in November when they played Cardiff and Hodgson apparently wanted us to go in for Bothroyd in January.
  3. That can hardly have been a first. In terms of this thread, no-one's going to lose sleep if we bin him off, surely? But he will need replacing, because gifted though Pacheco is, he's also a gifted dwarf and the idea of him stepping in for Carroll is just nuts. Personally, I'd throw Morgan a million for Steven Fletcher when Wolves go down.
  4. Making it impossible for anyone but the children of the wealthy to attend a leading university (or ideally any university). Dismantling vast swathes of the NHS for the benefit of private healthcare companies and big pharmaceuticals. Allowing banks, including those still propped up by the taxpayer, to pay out obscene bonuses to its senior employees while overseeing a slate of cuts that not only bring misery to millions across the country but are widely seen as being driven not by economics at all, but ideology. And that's why I voted LibDem.
  5. I'm not sure what Agger could be blamed for today apart from getting sick and being unable to come out for the second half – in the first, he reminded us one of the things we've been so badly missing, which is a defender with a bit of composure and basic passing ability. You have to be coming at things from a pretty sad, strange angle to watch the Greek and Skrtel today and then decide to start a thread slagging off Agger.
  6. Walker is a very, very talented player. He'll be Tottenham's first choice RB next season and will have Johnson out of the England side shortly afterwards. (I'm working on the assumption Kelly will have moved to CB by then).
  7. But who will you patronise then?
  8. Varying reports? It was a 50/50 ball, both players were injured - but Diouf went over and said the aforementioned to Mackie before the stretcher arrived.
  9. The QPR midfielder Jamie Mackie had his leg broken in two places at Blackburn this afternoon - Diouf went over while he was lying on the floor and told him "Fuck you and fuck your leg."
  10. You've always had a nice way with the lingo, but you must know using it on someone who compares Benitez with Shankly is like doing Cruyff turns on a three year old having his first kick of a ball.
  11. You'd think the Hodgopologists would be more careful bringing Inter into the conversation, given the circumstances in which their man left the San Siro. Benitez may have only last six months, but he wasn't last seen having coins and lighters thrown at him by the crowd, was he?
  12. Just out of interest, who other than Hodgson are people now saying would have a) realistically come here in the summer, and b) done a better job? Realistic now, girls, and let's try not to rewrite history too much to save face, eh?
  13. The point is, for all the "any manager in football would crawl across broken glass to manage us" bollocks that was spouted all last season, neither Mourinho or Hiddink or anyone with any kind of comparable track record would have come near us under the previous owners. It was always going to be Hodgson or someone of his ilk coming in once Benitez was out the door, something which was routinely, deliberately overlooked all last year. Getting shot of Rafa and bringing in Hodgson were, at that stage, two halves of the same plan. Personally, I think it reflects better on people to admit they wanted Hodgson last summer and got it horribly wrong, rather than attempting to wash their hands of it all by claiming they wanted Mourinho et al - because that was NEVER going to happen.
  14. I fancied us against Northampton. Funny old world, eh?
  15. We're in the last 32. It seems that's as good as winning it these days.
  16. Is it OK to just think he's a liability on the pitch and that players shouldn't have the kind of influence on the club as a whole that he and Gerrard clearly do? Just so I know the ground rules like.
  17. Fanning's right in pointing out that if we're going to move forward as a club then the farce of having the manager (whoever he is) effectively working under Gerrard and Carragher has to end.
  18. Agreed - it was sad that so many people kept putting money into Hicks and Gillet's pockets throughout their time at the club.
  19. It's probably in a folder with the message about what an abject idea it was appointing Hodgson in the first place. Didn't you miss that one too?
  20. Wise, wise words. The club wasn't built on nostalgia and sentiment, it was built on being clinical, even ruthless, in the pursuit of being the best. I'm glad Kenny's name got sung this week as it may hasten the current manager's exit, but actually wanting him appointed in the cold light of reality is misty-eyed bollocks.
