QuoteYou'll be telling us Jamie will be the new manager at Liverpool is the season is crap! Or worse Stevie!

They had their Souness Evans Kenny (second stint) phase and have run that dirt out of the engine

You can bet your boots Stevie is desperate for the call, even lately when Slot getting a bit of stick Stevie thought it was appropriate to say he'd help "in any department at any minute of every day" a complete goon statement that should prevent him getting near it, Rio Ferdinand esque

Back to my original point today

OGS is the Kenny Dalglish of Roy Evans'

Nevermind shocking if he gets it, shocking that he's even in the frame
If I was Ole, I'd tell  them where to go.  If I was  deemed not good enough 3 years ago , then  I'm not good enough now.

Have some dignity, and tell them to  get f**ked.

QuoteHe was the managerial equivalent of Rashford, deluded

Put it to you like this, Real or Barca offer him the job with 1 single caveat, he has to play 4 at the back 4-1-2-2-1, does the take the job and comply, you bet your ass he does

The man took one incredible opportunity and pissed it against the wall, that was his peak, he'll never reach that height again, what a muppet

Surprised you haven't asked for Roy to be manager in this post... been in most of them lately lol

I hear that Darren Fletcher rang SAF for his blessing before accepting the interim role

Honest to dog, wall to wall wet wipes hankering to a bygone era

Roy walks in the room the players sit up straight and run harder, similar to MON at Celtic due to their icon status at both clubs, maybe it doesn't work longer term, maybe Roy has limitations like Gatusso Xavi Pirlo who all had a stab a managing massive clubs, or maybe Roy pulls a Zidane type midas touch

Whats obvious is that Utd lack the imagination to make the obvious appointment, or even go for someone like Joachim Low as interim who only won the WC with Germany, what you are now witnessing is Jason Wilcox in survival mode - he'll appoint a doormat as interim, stroke the season off at the mid point when CL football is very much achievable and he'll try to reboot with Tuchel next year ... but apparently its all the Glazers fault
Yeah, that is weird. A bit like the new British PM meeting the Queen  before  heading to Downing Street 

What if Fergie had said, nah don't touch it... would Fletcher have turned it down?  Does Fergie have to approve everything at United even  now?

Quote from: Onthe40 on January 05, 2026, 11:34:51 AMjez look at the team yesterday

lammers - jury out but looks workable
shaw - done
heavenly - a kid
dorku - raw, has potential , suddenly finds himself a main man in the team
Martinez - if can stay fit, good player
casimeiro - done
dalot - crap, inconsistent
ugarte - crap
Sesko - what a waste of money
yoro - inconsistent & unreliable
cunha - one bit of quality & now main man (with Bruno out)
Sirske - waste of money out

there's 4 players you prob keep out of that
Amorim deserves a medal having Utd sitting 5th with that bunch


Sesko similar to Hojlund in that theres probably a player there but being asked to be the main man at United with no back up at this atage of his career is madness. Even if they'd kept Hojlund and let the 2 of them compete to start it would be better than this. Someone like Welbeck to take the pressure off would be ideal.

Lammens- probably done fairly well considering he's a cub himself and the shitshow he's been dropped into. Although anything was better than the clowns before him. Shaw, Dalot, Casemiro need gone in the summer. (Casemiro does give you something but the legs aren't there anymore) 

The Keeper has certainly been an upgrade. 

Casemiro not the player he was, I think he has been ok this season the lack of legs around him hasn't helped and having to play as a two in midfield the Amorims preferred formation.  Ugarte has been hugely disappointing. 

How long has Ugarte been there? He has  had such an impact, I couldn't even tell you what he looks like.  Honestly, don't  know if he's black or white.

Sesko was another  one destined to be a flop.

Hopefully he'll croak it soon enough but who knows?

Cuba in bother now apparently as they'd been relying on Venezuelan oil. He's welcome to Tyrone though :D

I'd imagine there's another psychopath to  continue the madness

I'd  blow up the sperrins  rather than let the hoors near it

Quote from: Armagh18 on January 04, 2026, 10:06:29 AMQuestion is will he remember about Greenland. And if so what does Europe do?
He will take Greenland. Europe will complain, bit of chit chat in the UN Security Council etc. but ultimately nothing will happen and he'll move onto the next thing. He's the head of the world's biggest crime family.

Can't help feeling a  big line  has been crossed here with Venezuela. And as you say ,  nothing will happen. No rules, no  consequences . A rogue state  doing  what it wants.

The world is f**ked. Let's just enjoy it while we can , until  that mushroom cloud appears over the horizon.

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC... US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don't want to "run" a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

The American people  don't want to do alot of  things. Their government, and  those funding/lobbying  them, do.

In the past, they at least tried to dress it up as  some sort of liberation for  X country's inhabitants.  With Trump , he  doesn't  even try to  hide what they're at.

That "prize" was about as  relevant as Father Jack's  teacup award

He probably got it  the same way as Jack did.... AWARD! AWARD!
