Pundits.

the consensus seems to be that you should give a manager as long as it takes to be mathematically certain of relegation before firing him/her. I see that Tim has turned down the Blackburn job, thus paving the way for TSM2.Obviously the £2m compo and odd bits of punditry is preferable to trying to manage again.

"No chance of Tim Sherwood taking a lower league job.  Tim Sherwood only does Premier League".

Oh no, see Rovers have found themselves a much better canidate to turn their fortures around...

Heard him on TalkSport the other day talking to Alan Brazil and he was saying whatever he could to undermine Garde, stuff like "the boys were bound to be low when he came in as they loved Tim so much," "They are all incredibly physically fit," etc. Just anything to contradict any of Garde's initial observations. It was pathetic and I lost what little respect I had for him immediately.

And Alan Brazil, what a truly hateable twat.

Two extremely fat and thick bellends. One is Chelsea, you don't need to say anything more and the other is still bitter about us beating his media darlings to the league all of 35 years ago. Booze is something else they have in common

I don't mind Talksport that much but Alan Brazil's show is one I just can't bear to listen to.

Guess the thick, 'money for old rope', old boy network pundit: "I know Tim well, and I know he knows what the Premier League is all about - all 13 of those players were not his buys"

Incredible knowledge and foresight from Sheila there. How does he do it?

For cough Mary Poppins you elbow waving thick Jaw Dee dork brained wassock. I hope your tiny testicles drop off and roll down a drain ya pustular excrescence of a dung beetle.

Top rant, with bonus points for the use of wassock.  I can never decide if it's with double s or wazzock.

[brian green]

Actually it derives from the Old Saxon whoresuck which I think was a prostitute's cough drop.

[Villa in Denmark]

Double S it is then.  Maybe the default English spell checker at work being US English is grinding me down and that's why I'm thinking it should be Zs

[Pat McMahon]

When I lived in Sheffield it was definitely wazzock.

[brian green]

When I lived in Egypt it was definitely Whazzooki. I shouted it many times at KEA.

[adrenachrome]

I think I first heard it used by that Black Country duo who had a radio show on a local station and whose names infuriatingly elude me, but I could well be wrong as I fear the old little grey cells are misfiring these days, and I may be getting what my Kansan ex mother in law called "sometimers". 

I give 2 thumbs up to "whoresuck which I think was a prostitute's cough drop" and  marvel at its etymological elegance.

Tony Cascarino has just described Chelsea as an "empire".

I had to change channels - my Son enquired who he was, to which I replied he was one of the worst players I've seen play for the Villa.

Unbelievably, his punditry is even worse.

I wonder if they'll be talking up Sherwood for the Chelsea job, because English managers deserve a chance and all that

More chance of us winning the league this season.
