Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

and he's scored

Debuchy sent off. This is ridiculous

six nil

Alan Pardew says his eight-year contract will give him time to deliver Newcastle United's long-awaited trophy wait.

Newcastle have not won a major since their Fairs Cup success in 1969 and since taking the Geordie hot-seat 18 months ago, Pardew has learned to appreciate the desperation of the club's supporters who have seen neighbours Sunderland and Middlesbrough win one domestic trophy each since.

Pardew admitted even he was shocked by owner Mike Ashley's decision to reward him and coaches John Carver, Steve Stone and Andy Woodman with the new eight-year deals which replicate the contract chief scout Graham Carr signed in the summer.

It shouldn't, but I feel this augurs badly for next year. Delighted for Borini, I've always felt there's a player in there.

They won the Championship only a couple of years ago ffs.

Its not *entirely* impossible that Newcastle could be behind Villa by Monday evening

Yeah, it's always an odd one when you're rooting for your arch-rivals to do you a favour.

approve of this new referee

Lineker making a big deal of it being his debut and his age

Point of that? All decisions correct, tho fortune one a bit harsh.

The Bale goal was a classic

yeah, never seen one quite like that

the real action is in the proper divisions

Absolutely. Sorry for going off topic but some monumentally unlucky side is going down from div2 probably on a post-war points record next week. Unfortunately not Blackburn probably, but I will pray.

is there a gif anywhere of the studge/debuchy erotic stare-out

Anyone care to speculate as to what could possibly be behind that Pardew thumbs-up after the sixth goal went in?

If anything shows up what a limited manager Alan Pardew is, it's the sight of Jordan Henderson putting balls like that through the Newcastle defence and Pardew having no answer for it. I know he's improved enormously this year but it's still only Jordan Henderson ffs.

Coutinho though.

tbf to pards' limited talents it seems painfully obvious that no one on that team is even pretending to listen to a word he says any more

If they go down/sack him does he get seven years worth of wages as a pay-off then? Ashley couldn't possibly have been that stupid, could he?

seem to remember somebody at the time saying that the 8 years was nominal/heavily clause-dependent, can't believe it would have to be paid off in full.

sending a copy of my CV to Mike Ashley just in case tho

samba's fucked it off already i see, nice one

Samba's demanded a new deal from QPR.

he can buy 5500 of those a week with his QPR wages tho

and he can eat them all

Is there any way this can not end in a draw?

I'd rather it ended in apocalypse and the death of most of the QPR team. Only way we'll get that shit off the books.

we'll take remy, and townsend back

Is this worth watching?

I have found myself in the unhappy position of having a rapidly eroding FFL table lead, and relying on Remy to bolster it.

only half watching but it's pretty grim, doesn't seem to be much of an atmosphere either.

getting noisy now to be fair

doesn't feel like these two have just gone down, redknapp just walking straight down the tunnel. suppose it's been coming for a while though.

since September

GET INVOLVED

Sanj: "I feel sorry for QPR chairman Manuel Fernandes... I think he's been a good chairman, done all he can, just let down by managers and players."

Was that all as gutless as it sounded?

Sympathies to rtc and ithappens but it sounds like you'll at least be happy to be put out of your misery at this stage?

Fuck off United you hungover cunts.

Lolcott was offside

fuck everything, avb out, hire wenger, fuck everything

No red cards all season. That'll tumble today the way these yellows are racking up.

United must've improved massively through the season, because if they'd had a game as bad as this before Christmas we wouldn't've noticed.

Could've killed Szczesney there, what a hypocrite

oh yeah no worries we were basically relegated months ago, effectively relegated v villa, really really relegated v wigan

fell asleep watching today fwiw, slept like a baby

oh look peno

Fucking hell, he flagged that up about five seconds in advance

GET IN! Love it

No Adebayor celebration though

I've never cheered a Van Persie goal before. Now I feel all dirty.

Harry Redknapp leapt to the defence of Jose Bosingwa after QPR’s relegation was confirmed at Reading.

The 0-0 draw sealed both clubs’ drop to the Championship and television footage showed Bosingwa laughing as he made his way towards the players’ tunnel after the final whistle.

But Rangers boss Redknapp, who was also seen laughing, said: “He wasn’t laughing about the result or getting relegated.

“To start throwing that one about is completely out of order. He was only laughing because one of their players – another foreign lad – came up and said something to him.”

another foreign lad

Gutted for the club. To many wankers amongst the playing staff. All brought in by Hughes. Some good lads but not enough. Too many maggots
