I like how Allardyce's interview bashing Benitez comes out after his team loses to Derby. Good one, you fat cunt

Its quite intriguing, when you look at it, what Benitez's record actually is in the league. 5th in the first season (Champions League winners), 3rd in his second (1 point behind United, FA Cup Winners) 3rd in his third (Champions League Finalists) and we've finished behind two sides who were clearly better than us both seasons we finished 3rd. The man is an arse and a crook. |

Be funny if Smith had missed that Forest goal too. Put it wide.
And how annoyed would you have been if you had had a bet on the first goalscorer, and Leicester let Forest's keeper score

![]() The odds on Smith being first scorer would have been at least 50/1. Apparently Megson chose the goalscorer to make it so Forest couldn't be accused of any betting irregularities, Wengerland had 35 minutes on the first goal time sweepstake, and Sheehan scored after 31, He might have won by being the nearest if Smith's goal didn't count.

If someone had just tackled Smith and buried it it would have been possibly the funniest scabbiest thing ever

Part of me is ecstatic that he's gone, for all the moaning, the complaining, the failure to take responsibility, but at the same time he's a massive character who has really tested the rest of the premiership.
I guess at the end of the day, I just loved to hate the guy. Going to be very interesting at Chelsea for the next few months. |

Alonso isn't the biggest loss with Sissoko and Mascherano slotting in (which gives Gerrard a free reign) but Agger is a pretty big loss.

I'd just like to let all of you Prem Boys know that the mighty Bristol City will be joining you lot next season....
Well if we keep up at this rate we will, we’ve been top of the league at 3 different times so far this season, the only undefeated team left and we’ve scored in every game, I don’t care if we are punching above our weight, I’m loving this right now. 38 points for Championship survival another 80 for the prem, hey. Anything is possible |

Jose was brilliant
constant gold.Spurs parking the bus infront of their goal. Shushing the Liverpool fans at the Carling Cup final when they scored. Constantly referring to Robbie Savage as "the blonde boy" in an interview. Calling Wenger a "voyeur". Celebrating Porto's goal by running up the touchline infront of the United fans. Sliding on his knees at the Nou Camp to celebrate. Throwing his league winner's medal into the crowd, being given a new one and throwing that into the crowd too because he "already had one". Making sure every Chelsea player went and clapped the Chelsea fans, win lose or draw. And my personal favourite: In a press conference the day before Chelsea played Barcelona, he gets fed up of listening to the usual bollocks questions about his line up and injuries and just goes "you want to know my team?", then lists the referee, the entire Barcelona line up and then his line up before getting up and leaving. The Barca line up ends up being spot on but he tells the press the wrong team for him and plays Damien Duff who had been injured. ![]() |

The Premiership is going to be shit without Mourinho. Namely because United are gonna have no competition whatsoever and walk the league for the next 5 years now.

Well he very nearly took Israel to the world cup, which is quite an achievement as they're shit. Before that I think he had a lot of success in the Israeli league with Maccabi Haifa or Maccabi Tel Aviv or someone. Anyway.
We were all a bit worried when he came to us, because last time Harry had a director of football (Zajec), he ended up walking out and joining the scum. It seemed he was brought in by Sacha Gaydamak and his role was given as "technical director" although i'm not sure why he was brought in or what he did. As far as I know Harry still bought the players, picked the team and took training. Harry always said in the press that he liked Avram and had no problems working with him and he was just someone Harry could bounce ideas off of if he needed to. He always sat in the dugout with Harry and theres loads of pictures from the training ground of him in a training kit. So I always assumed he was just sort of like an assistant, who would toss ideas about for Harry but ultimately it would be Harry's decision. We had our best season in 50 years while he was there, so y'know, can't have been that bad. But we've not replaced him since he left, so his job obviously can't have been that important. I found this interview from the beginning of last season in The Observer: Grant, not reminiscent of the Zajec situation? 'Not at all. This man's an absolute gentleman.' Was he your own appointment? 'No, I'd be a liar if I stood here and said I wanted to bring Avram Grant in. The owner said, "If you don't want him, I understand, it's your decision,"' Others at the club say an uneasy Redknapp 'blew hot and cold about the appointment' and there is a suspicion that Grant is waiting to take over if early-season results do not go Redknapp's way. 'Avram Grant is not the kind of person to sit back and earn the money,' says one Israeli football journalist. Avram Grant Formerly the Israel national coach, Maccabi Haifa and Tel Aviv Haifa, Grant was chosen by Gaydamak junior as technical director of the club. A factor in Redknapp's departure from Portsmouth during his first period in charge was the presence of Velimer Zajic, the former technical director brought in by chairman Milan Mandaric. He is close to Roman Abramovich. And i've found this interview from today's Indepedent which seems to explain a fair bit about his background: http://sport.independent.co.uk/footb...cle2984721.ece |

as well as bathing in melted chocolate. Grant once showed his players a clip from the Mel Gibson film Braveheart in order to motivate them before a game. Critics in Israel derided his play as "too negative", just as Mourinho was chastised in England in his last 18 months at Stamford Bridge. |
