Probably just old Jim pleading poverty again in the hope of getting the taxpayer to help fund his new toy, the eight wonder of the world.

Just sitting here with my coffee and toast, digging into the expert commentary on last night’s match.

Ps. We seem to have broken this one.

That they have to face this reality along with the knowledge of how shit that United are makes it sweeter.

We had it for years and them some.

Fergie this fergie that.. this is what used to happen and that’s why I hate them..

It’s cute as to how every season , they start with some semblance of positivity only to see the positivity die a brutal death 2-3 games in.

I was naive too once. Thought that we could finish in the top 8 with Hodgson. But this is entirely different.

We didnt spend fuck loads of money under Hodgson to be in the relegation battle. These guys routinely spend upwards of 200m a transfer window for the last 10+ years and still remain shit.

I wouldn’t wish that pantomime on poor old Gareth. He’d be a fool to go there.

Give him or any down on his luck coach a cool 20m dollar contract. Don’t see many fools there.

Oh, sure. Money-wise it’s a no-brainer, but in every other respect… less so.

Funny thing about that is I had forgotten how long it took Carroll to get back into his goal. In my head the shot from Mendes immediately followed Carroll’s clearance. I had forgotten there was a whole additional sequence between with Carroll just ambling around while it unfolded

Bro, I remember being smug as hell lording it over my Arsenal supporting team mates that our signing of Clough was going to be the one that ended our “drought”

12 year old Limie was a moron, but that is the life of a football fan.

Not if southgate thinks that this is his major earning opportunity. Let’s face it , he’s rather shit as a coach even if it means being better than Amorim.

But that’s what I said. Money wise, why not? Of course it would be a major earner, but in all other respects it’s likely to damage his reputation even more than at present (although I will defend him as the guy who took England further than most), plus he’d end up taking more crap from all quarters.

Perhaps he may wonder how many more thrown beer cups and how much more disparagement is worth that 20m or whatever. I’m not sure he needs that crap

At his age, take £20m…and fuck reputation.
Not like he’s iundated with offers at the moment?!

My Man Utd friend has been What’s Apping me to say they are getting Glasner. Don’t know where he’s getting that from, but that’s what he reckons.

On a related note, if they get Glasner sooner rather than later, the fella is a snake. He wrecked Guehi’s move to Liverpool and stopped Palace from collecting 35M quid. He owes them some loyalty, though obviously that is in short supply in football and Glasner will do whatever he thinks is right for his career.

It’s why I thought Parrish made a mistake. Can’t have the tail wagging the dog. Soon enough Parrish won’t have the manager, the player, or the money. 0/3 when he could have at least had 1/3, maybe 2/3 for a short while.

Glasner will stay at Palace.

He may want the Old Toilet gig eventually, but after the Guehi fiasco he will wait until mid-2027 when it will become available again.

He might be looking to take Guehi to Old Toilet with him
