Ugo Monye spacecraft experience

Meltdown of the highest order.

Alan Pardew is the second longest serving Premier League manager active today...

I have taken a picture on my sons phone of the docket and had logged on to upload it but iv'e zero interest partaking in the soccer forum any longer if the last couple of pages are anything to go by.

Being told to "f off" and the like i thought where fairly low brow but i guess im from an older generation and am not as cyinical as some.

Hope i win the bet now i'll enjoy my winnings that little bit more.

Post of the year.

Eight balls implosion has nearly been as entertaining as United's one this year.

Interesting reading back over the thread of when moyes was appointed. Anyone like myself that suggested utd/ moyes would struggle were fairly shot down. Have to say I got it wrong aswell as although I thought Utd would struggle by their standards( finish 3rd/4th) never would I have felt the season was to pan out the way it did.

It was wishful thinking on both sides. One side was going to be right.

I'm sorry but if this was true he would 100% have posted the pic, then closed his account and rode off into the sunset. Pity, that would have been poetry.

He's probably gone into hiding, what with all those millions he's going to win.

Can't be risking a kidnapping.

maybe it was because of similar sentiments at the start of every season over the last 10-15 years. Stop taking it seriously after a while...

Wouldn't call United an implosion this season, never got going to implode, more of a demise I guess. A drop off from previous levels shall we say.

Other then that and a sad obsession, carry on

They've had two managers in the last five years. Hardly a "revolving door manager policy", even less so when you consider their current manager is the second longest serving in the Premier League.

I just put €100 on eight ball being a lying spoofer with Paddy Power. They would only give me 1/100 though but at least i'll get a mars bar out of it.

Would ya stop she wouldn't go near ya.

Are you entitled to dole if you've earned ~ £10m in the past year?

He's hardly after declaring that, sure it was blatant robbery.

Would he not have his NI payments up to date. £57 he'd be losing out on EVERY WEEK!!!

Ok so I've missed a couple of pages.

What I'm gathering is that David moyes has been posting on boards under the user name eight ball, he lives in Newcastle and is friends with paddy power.... Am I on the right track?

The board had nothing do with the decision - it was all this guy's doing :pac:

So Eight ball has left - a sad day for the forum. In his press release he thanked the mods of the forum but no mention of the contributors which is very telling. SS News are expected to run with the story in the next hour. Eight balls son will take temporary charge of posting until the end of the season however the mythical docket is still nowhere to be seen.

In his press conference Eight ball's son said that he hopes to give Paddy Power a tough weekend but either way he will continue to bet the "eight ball way"

PP is now also quoted as saying that eight ball also placed a bet on Moyes winning the CL with Bayern Munich by 2016 - you heard it here first!

RasTa

Hmmmmm, didn't think he would close his account over it.

Although will be back soon

Well played sir! (Which is a term poor old Moyes didn't say too often this season)

In France you get 70% of your salary on the dole for the first year, in Norway its something like 90% for the first 6 months. While I imagine there are some restrictions for ultra high earners it would be amusing to see Moyes quing up with local skangers to get 80k a week on the scratcher

Jesus Wept

Has anyone a link to David's exit interview? Interested to see it but can not find it.

Giggs wearing the suit. You know what they say, dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

Well, that sort of applies.

Roddy Collins has left Derry City. Must be about to take over from moyes

Harry Palmr

Sacked again. Official.

eagle eye

No surprise there, it clearly wasn't working out. He got plenty of time to turn things around in fairness. I'd expect to see him land the next vacancy in England outside of the bigger clubs.

GLaDOS

Chelsea need someone to steer them out of a relegation battle, perfect for Moyes.

Yakult

It has been coming for a while now.

Must be tough for an non Spanish manager to go there considering the area.

LuckyLloyd

No surprise.

Fair play to him for trying something different, it will probably help him in the future but a difficult situation to do well in.

Why was the situation so difficult to do well in?

The culture is different over there (Basque) and the fact he couldnt master the local lingo didnt help either.

Sounds like a bit of a cop out to be honest, every foreign manager in england is experiencing a new culture and language
