Tonight's football thread

[Carlos the Jackal]

Still defending the useless bastard I see Iain. At the moment it feels like he'll have to die of old age before we get rid of him, the reality is that in a couple of years when he's back in his zone managing f*cking Stoke or Wigan, with his miserable little chart and his f*cking crayons, what's happening at the minute might at least seem like a vaguely amusing memory rather than the bastard nightmare it currently is. I used to think he was a decent bloke before the brains trust that is our board decided it would be a good idea to give him the keys to the kingdom in the same way that you know, it must have seemed like a good idea to sign Ashley Young once, but every time I see him and his big shit eating grin now I'm just filled with an uncontrollable rage and an urge to eat my ears so that I don't have to listen to his f*cking excuses anymore. GRRRRRRR

I don't think you will have that long to wait, once the dippers give us a drubbing and the exit out of the champions league he'll be gone. Bad news is we have missed out on the special one so we could have him. I feel the players should take some responsibility for the mess, carrick's media duties was as dreadful as his game.

I dont think I defended him, just dont want us to sack someone after 6 months. I've been critical but I think judge when its his team.

I think you will be waiting a little longer than that as fergie has his back and he has inherited a team that is not his own and not playing how he would like them to play... Fergie went a few year without winning anything and look how that turned out so have a little faith in your team and manager

the difference between Fergie and moyes is fergie was already a winner, he won the two horse title race with an unfashionable club and the cup winners cup in Europe. Moyes on the other hand hasn't won anything and I guess never will.

I also hold the players responsible for not playing for the manager. Rio is too busy tweeting and should have played his last game last Tuesday for that performance. Cleverly isn't good enough for utd. Young is usless. Valencia is hit and miss and RVP spits his dummy out when he can get himself off the treatment table.

I think fergie should hold his hands up too for his failure to maintain the midfield and parroting the greedy yanks line that there is no value in the transfer market. You don't treat a rolls Royce by running it into the ground and never checking the oil but that's exactly what fergie did.

Alan Pardew has always been a bit of a loose cannon on the touchline but his actions this afternoon, considering he was winning as well, might well finish his Newcastle career?

He could call Joey Barton as a character witness!


Former Newcastle midfielder Joey BartonJoin the debate at #bbcfootball "Seen Pardew incident. As per usual. Massively over-hyped...
"Got a lot of time for Pardew. Regardless of what I think, he is a top manager. One of the best I've worked with. Don't let a couple of stupid incidents detract from the job he has done at Newcastle. Especially with what goes on behind the scenes there."

That's a shame, just when I thought Joey was starting to talk sense

"QPR midfielder Joey Barton has blamed Sir Alex Ferguson for Manchester United's current troubles, claiming the legendary former manager should have departed Old Trafford five years ago."

Ihought Pardew was a c*nt when he was dancing on the touch line when they crabbed a late undeserved winner in the League Cup at Morecambe last August and this incident hasn't altered my opinion

Talking of c*nts, here's another one
