This guy on Pointless is one of the dimmest fucks I've ever seen on a game show.
"Name a word ending with -tant"
"Stant."
EEEEHHH
"The football player Paul Stant."
"It's Phil Stant."
I doubt he knew what a proper noun is when they said they don't accept them at the start of the round.

There were always stories about Rafa not really getting on with the players when he was with us, culminating in constant leaks in 09/10.
You can tell by the way Gerrard in particular talks about managers that he didn't think his ego was stroked enough by him. Thankfully, for those first 5 or so years at least, we had a core of professionals who would look past that shit, take his instructions on board and play to the level expected of them.

Just read James Murphy's post.
I was hesitant at first, but I am fucking so in now.
I'll pay whatever I have to to see him when he comes to the Bay Area.
New album will probably not be great, but we will always have All My Friends.

Rafa published his farewell letter.
Not suited for the club + victim of Perez. Kinda feel for the dude.
Now, at the end of my time as first team coach of Real Madrid,I would like to use this article to say goodbye to everyone at every level of the club. I want everyone at the club from the Board of directors, executives, workers and all of the fans, know that it has been an honour and privilege to be in charge at this club.were I grew up as a person, player and coach from the lowest categories through to the first team. As a madridista from Madrid, steeped in the traditions and values of this institution, which I learned in the old sports city of Castellana, it has been an honour to work for these colours. I would especially like to thank everyone at the new sports city and the Santiago Bernabéu who since my first steps through the door have supported me and made my work easier. Thanks to all for helping.
With all that I have said still in mind, I would like to wish good luck to Zinedine Zidane,my successor, and his staff. To all the players, coaches and staff in both Valdebebas and Bernabéu, I wish all the best and also good luck.
With all my respect and thanks... HALA MADRID y NADA MÁS!

Sounds like there's factions forming at United's board room level regarding keeping LvG or getting Mourinho.
Miggy D's just done an article on it and it marries up with what's being said on the RI forums as well.

Sources have told ESPN FC that the majority of the players were unhappy with his coaching methods, while many Old Trafford officials had raised real doubts about his future. Of course, official messages from people at United were slightly different: some said Van Gaal was being judged on a game-by-game basis, others insisted he had been given three games to prove he should stay. Either way, the bottom line was always the same: a near-unanimous verdict that Van Gaal would not be Manchester United manager in 2016.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho's camp have been pushing heavily for the job. Indeed, sources told ESPN FC that his representatives contacted Old Trafford officials within 24 hours of the Portuguese's sacking by Chelsea.
Mourinho is certainly frustrated at the current situation, but the 52-year-old is one indirect reason why Van Gaal remains at Old Trafford. The timing might have felt right for the Portuguese to take the role he has long wanted, given that he was suddenly available at a time when United were in such strife, but the reality is there are still too many influential figures at the club who don't think that he is the right candidate for the job. Some still don't want him anywhere near Old Trafford.
Sources have told ESPN FC that stance had been tested in the past few weeks, as some argued that United absolutely needed to appoint Mourinho now more than ever -- especially if they are to miss out on Pep Guardiola to Manchester City.
The overriding feeling, however, is still that Mourinho wouldn't get the job if Van Gaal was to leave. The big question is over who exactly would be a suitable -- and available -- replacement? United would obviously prefer to install a manager who would be there for the long-term, but that kind of figure is a lot more difficult to come by in December.
The obvious stand-in would be club legend and assistant Ryan Giggs, but there remain reservations about his lack of experience, particularly from executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
One crucial constant, though, is that Woodward has always backed Van Gaal. Sources have told ESPN FC that he has been determined to keep the Dutchman, despite so many arguments -- and results -- indicating he should sack the manager. That is why the verdict to sack him was never going to be totally unanimous.
The man who mattered most -- beyond the Glazer ownership -- thought otherwise. The reason? Van Gaal was Woodward's personal choice. It would reflect so much better on him if Van Gaal is a success, especially after this crisis, while the executive vice-chairman is also mindful of wider financial concerns -- from payoffs to the implications of failure to qualify for the Champions League.
So far Woodward has had the final say, therefore Van Gaal is going nowhere. That decision has been taken despite figures at the club briefing British newspapers that Van Gaal himself felt he couldn't fix the situation, and offered to resign in late December -- an offer which was not accepted by Woodward.
Since then, sources have told ESPN FC that the manager has showed himself to be much more open to suggestions from others on how to fix this crisis, particularly those of Giggs.
Van Gaal has been more willing to acquiesce, to compromise on tactics, and that could be seen in United's play during the 0-0 draw with Chelsea, when the side were much more proactive and willing to take risks than recently. Despite the fact the game was goalless, United had plenty of chances and there was a traditional vibrancy to them. Afterwards, the players seemed more content and it could well be the turning point in terms of the manager's relationship with them.
Sources have told ESPN FC that Woodward is hopeful that this positive energy will help to the club back on course for the remainder of the season. He is also willing to back Van Gaal in the transfer market again, and United will look to bring in a left-back, a thrusting midfielder and another attacker.

By Laboured Go To PostIn other news that's really not good news for Bentekkers.Being saved for the all important against Exeter. I say that in jest but I'm totally OK with us just giving up on the league and going all out in the cups. 2001 baby! (Though we came third in 2001)
Benteke's performance on Saturday stank of someone who thinks he's in the 11 regardless of performance. Firmino as striker/false 9 is far from ideal, but Benteke deserves dropping.
Not excited for this in the slightest.
