Thumper

Not gonna happen. Authoritarian to the end, they'd far rather continue to dip into their pockets to support the next hero that comes along. Pompey fans had the wool pulled over their eyes, but weren't institutionalised into believing that Portsmouth FC was a magical money-making machine that could never die and would be back at the top of the Premier League as soon as the right, loyal fan got the front door keys.

Erm, think you need a closer look at Dundee's recent history.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

If you put too much oxygen in the same place then it turns into ozone. Ozone is pale blue, highly toxic, and broken up by direct sunlight and CFC. Many people have argued that it would be disastrous to do away with it. Nonetheless, if you can smell it then it's never a good sign.

In amongst that deliriously revisionist pish I do note the use of a "when" rather than an "if" in a somewhat interesting place. My bet it on this being aimed at Traynor though, after charlottefakes revealed the other day that he'd already positioned himself as a spokesman for Ahmad before he officially quit the Record.

Inevitable tears. Ayr's failure this season was unlikely to bust a stingy boardroom. Morton's will dash the hopes of a generation, especially when part time football arrives.

The Chris Smith that took Ayr to Hampden with a winning goal at St Mirren last season? Oh aye, you'd hate that.

With due respect to this being true, Everton's position at that point was trying not to get relegated rather than trying to get back into the Champions League and reinforce their dominance over Liverpool.

Why is Martinez being linked so closely with the Everton job? Fair enough that he showed with Swansea that he could work wonders on a limited budget, but that was in the Championship / League One. Is keeping Wigan in the Premier League by the skin of their teeth several times that much of an accomplishment?

Part-time teams will accept any dry bones and bits of tinsel that SPL clubs offer them for their star players. With Greenock cutting contracts following their failure to buy the league it's extremely unlikely that the family silver will remain locked in the cupboard if the big boys make even a derisory offer.

More to the point, I don't remember the BBC condemning the most recent brown-people-of-the-month for holding street parties to celebrate the deaths of their own big bads. Seem to recall them being quite gleeful over the whole "Gaddafi on public display in a freezer in a shopping centre" thing.

Oh God, whoever thought of leaving milk alongside the flowers should be given a fucking knighthood. I'm off to the pub. Bunting awaits.

lol lol lol If you're hoping for financial stability at Leeds you'd be better hoping Marty McFly is the next manager.

This is just a sideshow for Liverpool Football Club. Once this piddling little diddy cup is out of the way they'll be free to concentrate on getting into the top four this season.

Back before the Tories attempted to extinguish the BBC, Gavin Strachan wrote a good blog post about the kind of praise he and his team-motes got in the U21s. Some of them went on to Premier League fame, while for some (Strachan included) it was in retrospect the best point of their careers.

What was Kenny Dalglish's excuse, then? Rodgers made a horrific error in judgement coming to Liverpool. Best he gets out before his promising career is caught in the death spiral.

There's your mistake.

Cheating isn't not cheating so long as you get caught for it. Suarez is a filthy, rotten cheat, and has been since before he went to Them Without Shame.

Forgot to make a point about Mansfield's craven little "96" display as well. Aye, fucking encourage them why don't you.

Sorry, were we discussing something else? Anyway, aye, Liverpool are fucking horse. Hopefully some rich foreign club puts in a huge bid for Suarez this month and Fenway decide to cash in, which both removes his stink from these shores and will also see them finish around 16th.

Top fucking two. Brilliant.

Managers get less than players at that level, and in the Premier League the managers who get more are those who are typically better regarded (hilarity ensues when it's pointed out that Saint Martin is on that list). Moyes is an absolute bargain for what he's done at the club on a fraction of his contemporaries' budgets.

That relies on him being around to see the results. If Khhhhhing Khhhhhenny can get shoved out of the airlock then that speaks wonders for the tolerance of the owners. I wouldn't put it past them to let him go after a disappointing start next season even after the dross is shifted, especially if he has to start making tough decisions like dropping Sir Steven long-term that get the letters pouring in.

Walcott going to Liverpool He may play for a team who will never win another trophy, but at least they're not going to be desperately chasing mid-table safety for the foreseeable future. If Huntelaar ends up there that'll serve him right for thinking that he was able to pick and choose when to finally move to the Premier League. Darren Bent (for another hilariously OTT fee) seems the likely one there. Liverpool might actually be able to win the odd game with him.

There will be plenty, plenty of people buying it deadly seriously. Remember who you're dealing with here. This is the fucking best thing I've ever seen.
