Yeah, I bet Newcastle fans have really enjoyed themselves this season. And nothing would please them more than to be turned over 5-0 by Arsenal on the last day of the season.

Also, is it just me or is Harry Redknapp's attitude towards QPR a total disgrace?

He took over in November and told everyone within earshot that he'd definitely be keeping QPR in the PL - and since they've been relegated, he's been saying how they never stood a chance, his players are poor and they have a bad attitude?

He seems happy to take the plaudits on the odd occasion he actually achieves anything, but as soon as it goes tits-up, he's not even remotely responsible?

What a nasty piece of shit. Hopefully the media can see right through him (though I doubt it).

Yes, he's a total overrated *word censored*, I haven't even heard him say 'How many points that QPR had whem he took over' in fact it was just 4 after 12 games, so they garnered a further 21 points from his next 21 games! An appalling record and what he says in the press is just to deflect blame from himself, he's a complete fucking cock!

And if his squad is so bad, and they never stood a chance of staying up in the first place, why did he even take the job? Likely financially-motivated, but even so. He still seems pretty pissed off about not being offered the England job, so there's always that!

Absolutely - he put his own image ahead of the club from day one when he spent his first few months slagging off the squad, their motivation and how much they earn. May all be valid points but if it bothered him so much, why take the job? And in any event, how can he then act surprised after slagging them off as a group repeatedly that his players don't play to their capabilities?

He's already started the bollocks talk well ahead of next season as well. The season's not even over and he's telling everybody that they're more likely to go down again than come straight back up. When they underperform massively and scrape 6th/7th he'll be saying about how he needed to clear out the squad and shake up the attitudes (why wait all this season to do so????) and therefore reaching the play-offs was a great achievement.

I reckon he's absolutely gutted he didn't get sacked. He would have loved a fucking huge pay-off and dossing around doing the odd MOTD2 and counting his money. Instead he has to manage a bunch of overpaid twats in a shit league, or walk away and get nowt. He doesn't have the heart for it, particularly given that his media time will be non-existent because by and large nobody gives two fucks about the Championship.

I found it quite alarming that he insisted on clauses in his contracts at West Ham and Portsmouth that he was entitled to a transfer profit. I wonder how common this is? Didn't Graham receive some remuneration based on profits (as well as based on signing shit Scandinavians :lol: )?

I personally rate redknapp very highly. His transfers are usually top draw. We were all furious when he signed der vaart for 7 pennies.

Not so triffic arry is on record with saying he knew nothing about the signing and there is no way he would not take the credit if it was him that made the deal happen.


It's amazing how much he's gotten away with no blame being attached. He has taken 2 teams down and has spunked loads of money on players and ultimately got a lower win %age than Warnock yet it's all the players fault.

can you imagine if harry was from Spain and called Henrique Redondo and bought all those players and had such a poor win ratio, he'd be getting the blame ...Teflon w**ker :cussing:

Watching the Brighton/Palace play-off and just thought if Ronaldo comes back to Manure, with Young and Zaha they'd have 3 of the biggest diving c**ts in the league. get Apeboy and they'd be winning freekicks and penalties all season long.

Redknapp gets away with it coz he's a media whore, always got a quip for them so the press give him a free and easy ride!

Just switched to ITV 4 Norwich are thrashing the chav youth 1-3(1-4Agg) at the bridge and the tickets must have gone on general sale as the stadium is full of Norwich fans even Delia and her other half have turned up :o

Hopefully Benfica can serve up a double delight of chav defeats in a week :twisted:

I don't know who the Norwich youth team manager but surely if Notwich fans are watching they'd want him to take over from Hughton. It's not %age bollocks football, they can actually play. The passing for the 3 goal tonight on the counter attack would be getting plaudits if it had been done by Manure. :o

Now I know why they're buying Zaha.

2-0 Zaha.

Back to goal, spins and an absolute bullet into the roof of the net.

mins to go, Watford v Palace in the play off finals.
