The Martin O'Neill thread (with added sacking #2188)

I just wish he would go now.
I have a long enough list of clubs I want to get smashed every week (Small Heath, Baggies, Mancs x 2, Chelski, FC Racist, Arse, Spurz) without having to include Sunderland on the list.

I have a equally long list but it is only slightly different from yours.

I saw it the other way. I thought the first question was poor. 'Do you question your position'? What? As Sunderland manager? Poor question. He answered the follow-up self-doubt question head on.

90 pages! 90 fucking pages of speculation and obsession with an average manager who's struggling to avoid relegation with another team, in another region of the country. A manager who ultimately underachieved and fucked us over (although we'll surely never know the exact reasons for his behaviour). 90 pages of hindsight, and schadenfreude. Analysing his post-match interview! What next? Camping outside his house with an infra-red camara? I know I don't have to read it but doesn't it all seem a bit disproportionate?

The failure of the Lerner-O'Neill project and the death of all the dreams associated with that killing, was a huge event in Villa history and deserves discussing.

But I tell you what would really help, is if, as a German with insights into German football, you could start a thread giving us a few insights into the way Borussia Dortmund play.

I have heard several pundits say that Lambert's Villa are playing in the style of Dortmund and what with Lambert's links to that club, it didn't sound unreasonable.

So if you could write a piece and start a thread I am sure it would be really appreciated.

One of his spunk garglers on Sky Sports News, Patrick Barclay has just said
'We don't criticise him as he's been good at club after club after club after club.'

MO'N got another pasting from journalists on Sunday Suppliement this morning - anyone see it?  Including one bloke from The Telegraph accusing him of never having imagination in the transfer market, never buying from abroad and paying over the odds for every single player.

Yes, saw it just after Patrick Barclay's defence of him.

He still has journo's on his side though, mark my words, when he fucks off it will be all the fault of the ungrateful, impatient supporters and the tight fisted chairman.

Spending £25m on Fletcher and Johnson was ludicrous and just shows how shit and unimaginative his transfer dealings are.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Watch from 2.15 onwards.
First he has a a hearing problem, then he answers a question with a question, then his face contorts and his eyes squint as he goes on about having been in the game a long time. I think Martin has turned into a grumpy old man.

I thought he came across quite well to be fair.

He actually looked like he was going to pass out towards the end of that interview, like he's on tranqulisers or something.

Excellent - that's me told! You're a fucking tryer, I'll give you that!

Was I hearing things just when I thought I heard the commentator outside Man City's ground say.
'Here we are at the centre of the Universe!'

Please tell me it never happened.

It did. The reporter then went off to find Fergie and Mancini for a spot of skiing.

Sunderland in real trouble now. Ellis Short didn't really back O'Neill in the summer.

Is that man sucking on MON pubes or something.    Hes an idiot.

[Monty]

Didn't back him? What a load of old cockshit.
