How can that be Delph's first booking of the season. Playing every game, I'd have thought he would have picked up more than that......oh, wait. ;)
He has been booked in every match he has started.

Silva is doing a fantastic job at Hull, they looked dead and buried until he arrived, got them playing good football too despite losing two of their better players. It would be funny if West Ham were to go down anyway but especially as Snodgrass left Hull to further his career.

Stupid appointment. They should have gone for someone who was British, "knew the League" and was an expert at relegation battles. Like 'Arry or Curbs.

Then undermined his position on wastrels in the squad by forcing him to reintroduce them and signing nobody?

I wish people wouldn't quote me when I've fucked my post up.

Anyway, no, not like Garde. You should pick the best person for the job, regardless of nationality. The media obsession with appointing British managers regardless of ability is ludicrous.

Who else will entertain you on deadline day if not 'Arry though? You don't get that from the snooty French bastards. Up yours, Delors.....

Was it Merson and Thompson who were belittling him and saying he doesn't know the league, should be a British manager etc?

I think so. That'll be the same Thompson that was quite happy to walk into a job alongside Houllier.

That Matt Smith QPR forward is a proper donkey. He was moving around like a rock on Tuesday and not much better tonight.
