Weren't we after George Graham after O'Neill or have I completely imagined that? I'd have only been 13 or so at the time! EDIT - Just checked, looked like it was post-Taylor rather than instead of him.

Atletico couldn't lose really - if he went and did well they'd have got a reasonable CB for nothing. Looks like he's going to leave for a good sum and make them some cash even after not impressing in this case. FWIW I think he's probably too well thought of by our fanbase given he was good for about 4 months in a 5 year stint but hey ho.

Can we simply stop sharing shit like the above please?

I don’t think 3 is hyperbolic or impulsive, though?

Strong line up, John Robins the pick but Joanne McNally is great too.

Bald energy from a bald man. Imagine my surprise.

Agreed on scripted stuff but I think they're equally as bad! The bloke started banging on about his mother in law yesterday and basically telling Guardiola what he should do.

Sorry but I simply don't think a ~3 average for someone who was sent off on 45 mins is that rough.

Cov. Chelsea. Rangers FC. Divorced. Proud dad to two boys who are my world. I say it as it is if you don't like it jog on !

Apologies for the late quote, it was a Cloudwater called Fresh from memory. As @grobyfox1990 rightly said it wasn't fantastic but I'll always welcome an AF draft in town!

The whole place – everything about it, genuinely feels like going back in a time machine to 2007 or something. The Superdry 4 zip the height of fashion.

Darren Fletcher constantly offering his own expert opinion rather than simply calling the game is a real peeve.

He did very little and then got sent off, that average absolutely isn't harsh.

It's not harsh, we are judging on today's game. I think virtually everyone loves him and agrees he's fantastic, but he can't be given a good rating for today's match just because he's been brilliant prior.

Subs weren't great second half but you're dealing with a shit hand when you're away for 45 mins a man down against a side who are no mugs. I thought broadly we contained them well second half - then the first goal went in, and it became a bit of a car crash. However, reading the words "spineless" and "gutless" about a manager and side who have gone above and beyond to banish the half-arsedness of last year from our collective minds is baffling to me. Regardless on where you stand on the yellow / red divide, Fatawu's challenge was ****ing stupid.

We weren't a man down for 45 mins in any of those games.

I thought we'd actually managed them well tbh.

And they've had an extra man for a half?

Whether you think it's a yellow or a red it's a ****ing stupid challenge to make.

Apologies, when you said only a handful have ever achieved it I assumed you meant, you know - since the invention of the Premier League.

Aesthetically Wigan vs Man United is massively late 00s Barclays Premier League

I'm not sure where he got the 8 clubs figure from, he wasn't sacked from either Hibs or West Brom. There's an argument to be made that he simply just left Blackburn when his contract was up, too.

Not disputing the difficulty of it but it’s not just these three is it? Shearer, Ferdinand, Collymore, Phillips, Beattie, Johnson, Bent. There’ll be more too. Collymore, Phillips and Johnson did it in their first seasons up after promotion with their respective clubs too.

All the comments made today bar one seem quite reasonable to me?
