Tim Sherwood must have been taking lessons from Pardew in "how to be a fucking bellend" he was embarrassing at times, this sums it up

Samir Nasri, Isco and Carlos Tevez and Javier Pastore have all NOT been selected for the World Cup.

4 players who could do a job in any top flight team.


18 league goals since 2008 Franco Di Santo though has apparently been selected for Argentina :o

He scored once in a season when we had him, although it was against Burnley so his status will forever be legendary with us :lol:

Tevez hasn't featured with Argentina for over 3 years because of his attitude, Nasri's attitude has been suspect with regards to the international team, Isco though hasn't really featured that much for Madrid so it's kinda understandable, Pastore I have no idea

WTF is that gif from? :lol: :lol:


I had to chuckle as Woy handed Brenton the Manager of the Season award. Telling the audience how it was so important to be positive and say all the right things before and after a match.
So everything you didn't do at Liverpool, eh Woy?


Let us remind ourselves of a few classic Roy quotes:


“They’ll be a formidable challenge”
(Before facing Fourth Division Northampton Town)

"These players have to accept responsibility"
(After losing to Fourth Division Northampton Town)

“We deserved our point”
(After drawing at home to Sunderland)

"As good as we have played all season"
(After losing badly to Everton)

"A draw here would have been utopia".
(Same game)

"A famous victory"
(1-0 at Bolton)


Oh, Woy.

At the start of the season, our midfield was a shambles and he just wasn't getting the service. Then Sherwood came in at a point where he was having a bit of a dry spell and picked Adebayor ahead of him and he hasn't really had a chance to shine since then. He's missed a few sitters in the games he has played, but his link up and support play has generally been very good. If he gets a chance next season, I expect him to start scoring again. We'll see.

Kind of did a Liverpool with fantasy football... Was top of the Bloodstock table for so long then make a few slip ups (shitty transfers) and ended up second. Bah!


Unlucky may friend, I had a good spurt at the end and my no Suarez rule finally paid off as he dried up a little. Not been able to post on here for a while as my account was one of the damned that got scratched so had to set up again.

Pretty excited by the England squad, really pleased he's given a nod to our young attacking prospects. Is there a WC fantasy footy knocking about?

Fair play, good to see Spurs fans still backing him. Hopefully Lamela can come good too.
