Hartlepool United out of the relegation zone now.
Bloody Refs! The injury time has been 15, 10 and 8 minutes in the last 3 games

I prefer our version:

Stevie Bull's a tatter,
he wears a tatters hat,
he plays for Wolverhampton,
and he's a fucking twat,
he runs it down the left wing,
he runs it down the right,
he couldn't score a goal,
if he played all fucking night.

poor harry
wrong place wrong time AGAIN, he just doesn't have any luck at all does he

he has a reverse midas touch
everything he gets involved with goes bankrupt and fails

You missed the bit where he walks off with a tidy sum.

as always
he's a shrewd man

Five more sleeps

Only four of the current 92 league managers have ever played for England and between them they have accumulated a grand total of 25 caps:

Sheffield United - Nigel Clough 14 caps
Huddersfield - Chris Powell 5 Caps
Aston Villa - Tim Sherwood 3 caps
Carlisle - Keith Curie 3 caps

Four more sleeps...

oh my days
i bet these two up front in their pomp would mean next year would be our year

BBC Breakfast features that friendly in their sports round up this morning. Proof that a) BBC sport coverage is so narrow and celebrity driven and b) their Koppite bias is in full bloom.

Has every player other than Gerrard in that picture won a league title?

ooof low blow

And only one real legend among them.

I hope you're referring to Xabi Alonso.

Pepe? But he will this year.

Luis Garcia?

Luis Garcia won the Indian Super League last year it seems

Kuyt only just won his first league title in 2013.

Torres has won the Spanish second division, but never a top league. That surprised me most.

So Pepe and Gerrard are likely to win league titles before the calendar year is done (LA Galaxy are probably favourites to win the MLS, despite a poor start)

Isn't Gerrard going to Citeh?

doing a " lampard "

not our stevie

Of course not, he's so scrupulous... #lel

West Coast Ballers.

Started to read Pirlo's autobiography

Even Ferguson, the purple-nosed manager who turned Manchester United into a fearsome battleship, couldn't resist the temptation. He's essentially a man without blemish, but he ruined that purity just for a moment when it came to me. A fleeting shabbiness came over the legend that night. On one of the many occasions when our paths crossed during my time at Milan, he unleashed Park Ji Sung to shadow me. The midfielder must have been the first nuclear powered South Korean in history, in the sense that he rushed about the pitch at the speed of an electron.
