"There's a guy in the place with a bittersweet face and he goes by the name of Abramovich"

Has anyone got any vera's?

Clive, probably. It may well be the only thing that could keep him calm at the moment.

how soon before naughty naughty is making both the front and back page healines
liason with a page three stunna ? and on field homophobia

lots of homophobia around at the minute mostly coming from man utd loanees / ex players ... whats going on fergie ?

^^lovely

Taggart's probably gay. He's trading out all those who cannot convert. In more ways than one.

hodgson = avb

neg rep

In other news - Robbie Savage bought a drink in LMNH.

Enough of this senseless baiting of the blue part of Sth West London.

The orange part of Fat and Orange could soon be making a return to the Arse board, reckons this chap:

They'd be better off getting David Dickinson involved.

He's orange and knows a good deal when he sees one. Who knows - you might even get a Bobby Dazzler to partner RvP.

Benitez declares an interest in the poisoned chalice. Not worried about the effect it might have on his fans from Liverpool. He splutters:
"Can anybody argue [against the fact] that the Liverpool fans love me? No," said Benítez. "If we agree with this, what do you want for somebody who you love? The best for him. I cannot be waiting at home for five years. Everybody understands that I will need a job.
"If they want me to have the best, they can say you can manage a team at the bottom of the table or manage a team at a top of the table and try to win trophies. That is my idea, to have the option of a top side and try to win trophies. If they love me, they will understand."
Koppites do you love him and will you "understand" when he trousers the wad?

Love is maybe the wrong word, but I think he is a very good coach, and I respect all he has done for the club and the community in Liverpool (and still does).

I also understand he needs/wants a job, and he won't wait for ever for Liverpool to come back.

i rate him as a manager not so much as a people person, he lost a few member of the dressing room while at liverpool and made some hasty sales ( although at the time i would have tried to get alonson out )
i am worried about him suceeding at chelsea

he would be a good england manager
tactical genius and good in a knock out tourney, in one off games he does extremely well, not so good at a sustained challenge for the league

I would rather have JT as a player/manager than benitez

Not sure he would (succeed at Chelsea).
Fergie would just Keegan him again and he'd lose it.

^^ That's just silly.
I would like to see it though.

As would I. I would also like to see a joint managerial team of Di Matteo, Zola, Wilkins & Newton.

and maybe Vialli for a laugh

Top quality proven track records all-round.
oh wait

Yes alone, but all together....

I would rather have JT as a player/manager than benitez

Comedy Gold.

He'd transfer list all the black players.

And yentz their wives.

^^^ You could get Ron "Chopper" Harris on board as well for completeness. He must be bored with the Legends tours and could add some no-nonsense clarity to the team talks.

Predo: 2-1

Looking forward to watching Arsenal progress through the Champions League tonight

Come on Birmingham!!!
