He's been nothing but a Sam Allardyce tribute act all season, both in terms of his comments to the press and the "football" his side play.
Just seen this comment on the BBC Football Live page, from some twat called Tom:- "Defoe would be no good for Manchester United - they don't play on Thursdays" I really do wish someone would write back with the retort: "not yet they don't, you twat."
They played on Thursdays in the season before last and got totally outplayed. Shame they got a relatively easy group this year or they'd probably be doing it again.
Harry wanted him. Harry was sacked. Sherwood who then had a big say in matters, turned the player down. That was the sequence of events.
Ozil, carzola, Ramsey and arteta all start for the goons. On paper that's one impressive passing unit. You fear for Palace.
Isn't this the last of Arsenal's easy teams for a while, though? Should see them fall away quite rapidly, after this weekend.
Oh, dear! Flamini gets injured just at the point in the season when AFC need him most - not for this game, which they ought to walk by some mile, but for the proper games to come. Is this the first of a series of key injuries that will strike the paper-thin Gunners' squad? Pop-Eye (Ozil) could be next.
Avb has been on the Wum! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...their-season-is-about-to-get-much-harder.html
Good old Andre! It's nice to see him take his foot off the gas (of the Mighty Spurs Juggernaut) from time to time in order to take the piss out of Arsenal. He'd be banned from the Arsenal board for those comments, of course; not because they are having a pop (which they are), but because they are also true.
Talking of WUMs I see Sir Alex has ruffled a few feathers along the East Lancs road Dalglish was moaning about him devoting a chapter to Liverpool and saying nothing about Rock of Gibraltar - clueless to the last.
