Inzaghi, Nesta, Seedorf, Zambrotta and Gattuso also gone at Milan....sniff.
Big Eck is gone from Villa doubt there is even one Villa fan upset at that.

sure everyone knew 3 months ago that he was getting the sack at the end of the season, no matter the outcome. that team and staff needs a complete overhaul as half of the players dont give a shít about the team any more and are just collecting their wages.

they played their best football of the season when keano was with them though funnily.

Considering the conditions the landing was very good. Could have gone face first into the truck.

Barton is obviously stupid though, ''who should I try and get sent off with me. I know I will have a kick at the little foreign lad, he will fight back''.

No Joey, he will fall and roll like he caught on fire.

He seemed to back away from Kompany VERY quickly. Obviously realised he wasnt the guy to mess with.

Galway vs Roscommon kicking of the 2012 GAA Championship on rte. At least it ain't the UFC this year, NOBODY enjoys those games.

Diabhal Beag

UFC does not involved boring grappling contests for you non-GAA fans (shame on ye BTW)

Just back from seeing the Dictator. Pretty funny film I must say!

Was expecting it to be like Borat or Bruno though, in that they were mockumentarys, but this was a more traditional comedy film. Still good enough.

Just heard that Kenny Dawgleash was sacked from a illiterate neighbour. I didn't want him to stay but now i'm worried about who we'll hire.
Anyone who quips Big Eck or Roy Bhoy f**k off

grames_bond

What about Big Sam!!?

:pac:

Lord TSC

Martinez is favorite for the job.

Disappointed he's gone, tbh. He was doing a good job messing up Liverpool :P

Hope he stays down in the Championship at West Ham and meets with Steve Kean again on the sideline not in a courtroom.
Roberto Martinez... A pure flavour of the month mickey mouse manager but we aren't going to attract any top manager we need a manager thats young and on the up or a manager needing to rebuild his image.

McLeash with Kean as his assistant

waltersobchak

Doesnt matter who Liverpool appoint, they'll stay a mediocre midtable team for life, unless they get some Saudi Sugardaddies to throw away his Billions..

Rafa Benitez or Andre Villas-Boas linked already

Diabhal Beag

Liverpool need a Wes Hoolahan. Make a nice 4-4-2 diamond, buy a better striker than Carroll and maybe try and sell him considering he's improving now. Maybe a Darren Bent or a Jermain Defoe level proven Premier League goalscorer.

And also ban posts and crossbars.

Still love Rafa but he lost the dressing room when he left and it'd be a bit Kenny 2.0 in the sense you shouldn't go back, the media hate him too. AVB, doesn't he still wear those thin-foil hats when giving interviews?
I don't know who I want tbh, i'm getting a feeling that we should just build a new stadium and if a top 4 finish happens its a bonus.

Lord TSC

Put a quid on AVB at 12/1.

GTR63

Did Hodgson just say Ambrosini and Pirlo were playing up against Chamberlain at the emirates vs Arsenal what a total twat. It clearly was Albertini and Boban ;-D

Martinez actually has a pretty good record as a manager.

I think Liverpool suffer from a lack of direction. Kenny always picked a team to play the opposition, they don't have a set A game to suit their own players. That's why they did so well in the knockout competitions. If they had an A game, a set style that the players know and get used to they would get far more league points.

Martinez has a proven record of doing this. He started the Swansea story off in League One, got them promoted and did well in the championship.

With Wigan he kept them up time after time. He has found a way to play that suits his players and achieved it with style this year.

I think he would continue to push the hard work ethic the Liverpool players have but also create a style and method to play the game that will reap results.

He understands the fundamental principles of the game well and is exactly what Liverpool need imo.

I hope he stays well away from them:P

Charlie Haughy

Hes available, and takes no shít, and would probably do a better job than Kenny



:pac:


MON is also being linked now.

AVB is now favorite on Paddy Power at 2/1. Wish I had put more on him at 12/1 earlier :P

Roberto Martinez.....sigh

Has anyone ever played the game where you write down as many of the 50 states of America as you can, but you only have 10 minutes.

Thought it would be easy being a Pro Wrestling fan, but I only got 27.

Try it, but don't cheat! No peeking on the Internet beforehand and don't look at my answers until you've done it :cool:

Yeah, I'm not sure why I thought there was 2 of them, but it sounded right at the time.
