  1. She was seriously shit at teaching people Russian Roulette.
  2. Southgate bemoaning the fact that Beckham wasn't on the field to waste free kick after free kick. Get over it, Gareth.
  3. Walcott looks as though he should be advertising milk.
  4. With that blob of birdshit on his hair Gerrard looks like a David Miliband tribute act.
  5. Ha ha ha! 'Supporters' just wandering in - what numpties. I bet half of them are called Colin. The atmosphere is shite.
  6. Townsend's Irish accent is really grating.
  7. Yes, they're only comfortable when an opposing player plays in the premier league, so they can refer to them by their clubs.
  8. Townsend: 'Walcott's got to be a little bit more instinctive'. Nice idea, Andy.
  9. Yup. Ledley looks like he's eaten Titus Bramble and a serving of chips.
  10. 'E's killing 'im playin' 'im out wide! Crucifying the lad. 'Is body language says it all, but I know 'im too an' 'e's told me 'e 'ates Capello for not playin' 'im centre. Me dear old Dad would play 'im centre, for sure. These managers don't know what they're doin'. They're KILLING 'im!
  11. "The penultimate plank in the selection process". The first of many absurd comments from Dury!
  12. Feck off ITV with your stupid S*n adverts. And Chiles is spectacularly wrong for ITV - he looks awkward enough in that suit, and he's got to pretend every match is fantastic to please the sponsors.
  13. It should be 'Wives OR Girlfriends'. Why don't they abbreviate that instead of WAGs?
  14. It is quite bizarre that, in an age when so many players spend most of their time online or glued to their phone and twittering inanely all day long, they still seem to think like puzzled pensioners when it comes to global visibility. Babel chats to someone in Holland and is stunned when someone in London picks it up. Babel twitters and is amazed when someone else reads it. Yossi seems to chat to reporters in Israel about transfers every time he goes there and never seems to think it'll get back to the UK. I suppose he'll claim, as he's done just about every summer, and January, since he's been here that he's been misquoted. They're all dimwitted but conniving, which is a bad combination unless you're a hack eager to fill up some space.
  15. Come on, Dougie. Whilst anything that might be seen to detract from Maureen's achievements - eg money available - is dismissed as an unfair criticism and a cheap shot, anything that appears to lend lustre to his triumphs - eg the fact he's done it at different clubs - is hyped up. And unless one agrees that it IS more impressive to win a trophy at different clubs than it is to win it several times with the same club, rather than just a different kind of challenge, that's a judgment that has certain ramifications for other reputations.
  16. Ian Holloway interview: How my lads and me made Blackpool rock ahead of Cardiff play-off date at Wembley - MirrorFootball.co.uk That's just a wonderful attitude. How many other managers have reacted like that to time out of the game? The likes of Bryan Robson have just sat around waiting for the next phone call, then done more of the same. This bloke really deserves all the good luck he gets, because he's going for it.
  17. There's also a sad and sneering trend coming in to diminish the achievements of the likes of Paisley and, yes, ginsoak, by suggesting it's more of an achievement to win and then move on and win something else. Keeping winning at the same club - in spite of the mounting pressure and strain, in spite of the danger of players getting complacent and over-familiar with your style of management, in spite of the fickleness of everything surrounding you and your club, isn't 'easier' than being a short-term boss. Both are impressive, but let's not go the way of Jamie Redknapp and talk shite non-stop.
  18. Even Gerrard looked ready to fellate Benitez after the final in Istanbul. Winning gets everyone in a good mood.
  19. When Olly was working for Setanta, I posted some rambling comments supposedly from him on their site, reflecting on his wife's cooking, his views on the new aisle divisions at his local Morrisons, etc etc, and always ending with how much he loved working for Setanta and how much he thought Rebecca Lowe was 'an absolute smasher (but don't tell the wife!)' The poor bloke had such a reputation the first post got put up by Setanta as really from Olly himself. How he's gone from being a David Brent to a genuine coach is a real testament to his genuine intelligence and open-mindedness. It's a fantastic and heartwarming story and I hope he has the most enjoyable year in the Premiership. He's as admirable as Allardyce is contemptible.
