Liverpool still won't win the premiership (2007/08 edition)

Hamburg are so going to punt Spurs out of the UEFA Cup next year.

i like martin jol, i think he'll do well.

will robbo also go to hamburg? i think he'll get on well with the hamburgers amirite.

your boys took a hell of an eating, etc

Thaksin puts the entire squad up for sale!

Best season ever.

You just knew that City were going to take the barking despot owner thing into totally new territory. This is Roy of the Rovers stuff!

One of them won't get out alive.

is there a Man City equivalent breakaway team to FC United and FC Wimbledon yet?

this is great. we'll have richards, hart, johnson and petrov, thanks very much.

can you imagine all the other PL managers queueing up outside, holding their handbags to their chests and glaring at each other?

Considering they finished comfortably in the top half and did the double over United it must still be fucking terrible being a City fan at the moment

I'd like to see some interviews with the head-in-sand Thaksin apologist dudes who were being all " 'alleged human rights abuses', what does that even mean, who cares, what's that got to do with football?" though

Wouldn't be anywhere near as entertaining as DIC taking over at Liverpool and fucking them up even worse though

that said, by this stage Randy Lerner's so ridiculously affable I'm becoming convinved he's basically a real life Hank Scorpio

I'm convinced Randy Lerner's going to be outed as a paedo or something, he seems a little too good to be true at the moment, as far as loaded American investors go.

you're just being influenced by his name

"I'd like to see some interviews with the head-in-sand Thaksin apologist dudes who were being all " 'alleged human rights abuses', what does that even mean, who cares, what's that got to do with football?" though"

i think they'll still be more concerned with the running of the football club, just that it's now gone spectacularly pear-shaped.

Our kit "sponsor" next year is a hospice for terminally ill children - who does he think he's fooling?

I guess it beats a deal worth about £8.50 with a presumably long bankrupt gambling website tho

will you be getting any money out of it though? presumably a charity offer, like barcelona's UNESCO sponsorship.

Thaksin is more of a muppet than Romanov at Hearts.

Not really sure how the £££ situation is with Acorns and Villa, I think Villa basically set a price for sponsorship which wasn't met, and went fuck it, let's grandstand instead

They've been fair spunking money into the Hospice for the past few years anyway tho

Avram Grant sacked according to the BBC news.

Heaven needed scowling.

Funny that its happened after todays earlier rumours about Mourinho having cosy chats with abramovich and going back as boss.

If Mourinho is the next Chelsea manager, I'll run naked through the streets of... wherever Avram Grant is from. Tel-Aviv?

Frank Riijkaard, surely.

No, I think you'll find it's Tel-Aviv.

aye, very good.

I'd love to see Dick Advocaat let loose with Abramovich's cheque book given how mad he went with Sir Minty Moonbeam's.

Mourinho as short as 11/2 with some bookies :/

Still 16s with Paddy Power. Rijkaard and Mancini both 7/2. Mancini would be a bad manager for Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti at 25/1 seems worth a flutter.

[As for his own reluctance to retire being fuelled by an ambition to overhaul Liverpool's tally of 18 league championships and five European Cups, Ferguson remarked; "I did my job of getting rid of Liverpool from the top a long time ago. The club will take care of the rest."]

!!

Comedy Ferguson vanity that. Liverpool have been more than capable of getting rid of themselves for the last 20 years.
