If we end up with smurfing Steve McClaren as our manager....

Oh my god, I didn't even consider that. That would only be slightly less beautiful than Graeme Souness coming back to ruin everything again.

Graeme Souness. What an outstanding candidate for joke of the decade.

[Serapy]

Can someone predict whether Rafael Benitez gets the sack or not?

[Loony BoB]

Well so long as Chelsea or Everton beat them in the final I'm not too bothered if they go through now XD

I really hope we beat Chelsea. Not just so we can win the cup, but I was rather disgusted by the actions of some of their players yesterday and moreso by a really arrogant post made on their website which, among other things, alleged that Everton played like a League One side yesterday. Tossers. But yeah, support Everton against London, everyone!

Also Allardyce getting sacked? Lovely.

You read posts/articles on other teams' websites?

There is nothing left to ruin.

I think the position is more-so cursed than anything else. Just like your national team's post.

I predict that if he gets the sack I will sob. I think if it does happen, it'll be at the end of the season, not January.

The Chelsea website is fantastic reading. It's like reading press releases from North Korea or Iran. Glorious Chelsea defies the decadent west, and our magnicifent armies will march across the Premiership to slaughter the infidels. Chelsea may have been robbed, 1-0, but rest assured this was because the referee was corrupt, and disallowed seven legitimate and beautiful Chelsea goals! In Chelsea's official records the result of this game shall be stated as 10-0, as this would have been the true score had the FA not conspired against us because they fear us. HAIL COMRADE ABRAMOVICH! HAIL!

Someone linked to it on an Everton website I read. But yeah, as Paul said, it is a really brilliant website to read if you aren't annoyed about a football result like I was.

Congratulations Arsenal, ekeing out a hard-fought draw today against...er...Birmingham at home. Except when I say 'congratulations', I mean 'you useless gits!', and by 'hard-fought draw' I mean 'two points dropped'

I hope the 2005-2007 version of Arsenal isn't back all of a sudden

Chelsea four points behind now...maybe my predicting them for the title is still not too foolish. Hmm who would I least hate winning it, Chelsea or Man Utd *thinks*

There is nothing left to ruin.

Basically. :weep:

Mark Hughes is the favorite now, a new beginning?

Keegan's back at Newcastle!

Blimey...

[Heath]

I'd have preferred Graeme Souness, personally, but beggars can't be choosers. Still, hopefully he's the man to take them to the Championship (yes, I mean that Championship).

[Jess]

Kevin Keegans black and white army!

I didn't think he'd take the job. It must have been that 6-0 thrashing.

[DK]

Now for God's sake, GIVE THE MAN TIME. Going to take at least a full season or two for him to shape his team how he wants it.

[Jess]

2-0 to Newcastle and we're now down to ten men. Owen scored a goal, which is a shock~

4-1 full time.

Havant & Waterlooville in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup and playing at Anfield. Good stuff all round, H&W will get a day out and a load of cash, and for Rafa Benitez that's a bye into the Fifth Round, so everyone's happy!
