Thanks to Hollie I have been forced to seek out my tippy tappy settings and get shut of the full daft signature, which I occasionally forgot to delete. White heat!

Mickey Mouse and 70% off. About fucking right.
Post of the day right there! Good work sir.
John Henry looks so fucking uncool it's unbelievable.
People that look that uncool in shades shouldn't be allowed to live anywhere sunny.

It was Dunk, what you cant see is a six foot wall, he took his wheelie bin with him.
So I suppose if Martinez is the 'coach' then if the team are playing poorly van Gaal calls him into his office berates him with his wang. Is that how it works?
...and if it's going well Van Gaal calls him into his office and gets his wang out anyway.
I hope Martinez knows what he's letting himself in for.
*sigh*
Martinez and Van Gaal won't be too bad I suppose.
Thank fuck for that. I'm so happy my dream has died before it takes flight
It works in baseball or something
HOW DEPRESSING to see this.....
WHERE'S THE KLOPP PHOTO??
AVB??
LVG??
IS MARTINEZ THE ONLY CANDIDATE??
Perhaps van gaal can train Martinez to be a swarthy, dick showing, attacking motherfucker.
Future if LFC assured
Wigan under Paul Jewell (sacked at the end of 2007) and then Steve Bruce managed 17th (38), 14th (40), and 11th (45) in 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively. You might say they were making good progress. Since Martinez has come in, he's managed 16th (36), 16th (42), and 15th (43). Again, there is an upward trend (despite the initial decline), but it's a little less than remarkable, isn't it? I would say it's a decent, if uninspiring record.
I grant you he's reduced the average age of the squad. Admirable, but again, hardly remarkable. And you could say they play an attacking brand of football. But it's come at a cost of just over 67 goals per season. That's an embarrassing statistic. For a bit of perspective, Wigan before Martinez conceded an average of just under 52 goals a season. Now, let's look at the plus column, shall we? Wigan scored an average of 35 goals per season, while under Martinez (and his attacking football), they have managed just under 40 goals per season. So they're goal difference has got worse by about 10 goals. Never mind the fact that Martinez has overseen some of the heaviest defeats in Premier League history (3rd and 4th heaviest for anyone who's interested). Never mind that their defending has been a source of constant amusement during his time there. Or that he has absolutely no experience of managing a large budget, or managing top tier players. Pa! He's young and enthusiastic, and pragmatic in defeat. And he's won a League 1 title.
It's quite fascinating to watch how a combination of lowered expectations and boundless optimism can impact on people's judgement. But at the same time, it's a stark reminder of quite how far we've fallen. We're at a turning point right now. The next appointment could either change our fortunes for the better, or cement our place as also-rans. It's a massive decision, and a massive job. I'm not saying that Martinez won't one day develop into a top manager. Perhaps he will. But there's no way in a million years he should be under consideration for this job NOW. He's done nothing to deserve it, and has far too much left to prove. The fact that he's even in the picture at this stage is bordering on absurd.
I could get on board with a calculated risk, but Martinez would be little more than a wild stab in the dark.
Come on mate ... You can only interview one person at a time ... Today Martinez, tomorrow Pardew and the day after, Klinsmann.
Who says LVG is DOF??
Not me. Oh no. Not me. Cos he gonna be the muthafucking manager
sheikh,from the other dross on offer...i'll be happy with that
Hahahahaha !
