We can't have Stan managing this team in Croke park.... The GAA will be laughing all the way to their summer camps!

In case he ever gets sent off for hand ball on the line he can appeal on the grounds of a technicality!

Rafa quote on Sky Sports website from today

Robbed against Bolton and B'burn away but kinda lucky away to Spurs. And then Pompey were so negative it was unreal. Min we deserved away to the chavs was a draw. It could all work out yet. The mancs will have a slip up or two (hopefully one against us). I'm very confident we can get 2nd place as a minimum. Our premiership form is second to none. We have some injuries clearing up currently and a squad that generally looks eager for the next win. There have been alot of "what if's" but the biggest "what if" of the lot we'll be asking in years to come is "what if Rafa was never our manager?"

Was it really 2002 when every Irish person with internet access voted for Damien Duff on the UEFA team of the year? Seems like only yesterday.

My prediction is Kuyt and Bellamy will batter them

Maybe he thought it was a good chance to put him in the shop window!

It's up to the board now to cough up and get proper cover for Stevie Finnan and get some cover for the wings now Gonzales and Garcia are both long term casualties. I hope Rafa gets who he wants

GAME CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF OPTIONS

Something along the lines of "Eboué ya fooking knob'ed ya!"

He'll be getting an Irish Senior call up pretty soon the way things are going

The BBC are more worried these days about putting managers noses out of joint by criticising them and ending up having clubs sending assistant youth coaches out for the post match interview. It's childish on the part of clubs and it's unprofessional by the BBC not calling things like they are. Fat Sam, Slur Alex, 'Arry and counting. I love the RTE take on things because it's usually constructive criticism. A classic over the xmas was Giles analysing Watford... His exact words were "They're like Wimbeldon only less classy" CLASSIC

That would be something.... Football clubs have previously made concessions to the Police Authorities that meant all replays beyond the first one were scrapped thus bringing penalty shoot-outs to FA cup competition early rounds and meaning we couldn't have FA Cup Final replays (not that we should complain after last season ) how about some give from them?
