He certainly fulfills one of the main criteria for wanting the job; mad as a box of frogs.

The world is just about mad enough for this to happen.

I like it.

Ketsbaia is probably the best we can hope for.

Rumours floating around of Sissoko off to PSG.

Anyone heard anything or corroborate?

Cabaye coming back the other way...

Seriously? Sissoko has been our best player this season by some distance, Cabaye does not have the work rate to be anywhere near as effective!

Agreed. Talk of us only letting Sissoko go for £25mil+ and PSG want £19m for Cabaye, I can see Ashley taking the £25mil and replacing him with absolutely no-one though.

That's exactly what happened when we sold Cabaye, it's Ashley's MO.

Yep buy cheap sell at a profit and nothing else matters to him as long as we stay up in the premiership.
Its money money money for him, he is also here to stay and shall only sell when his wallet is effected.

Rumours of Frank De Boer being hired in the summer. Too good to be true?

Not one to predict the outcome of a match at all, but I think I'll be having a week off from watching the lads.............

As I've got Costa and Hazard in my fantasy team I'm comfortable with a hatrick apiece today hehe

John Carver until the end of the season?

Given the results so far he's cajoled from them, I'd not be supposed if he was sacked befor long. I have a feeling that we'll be looking over our shoulders towards the end of the season.

I'd say relegation is now a very real prospect, we don't have enough points yet to withstand a truly horrendous run of form like last season.

Time to set up a company specialising in pre-printed bhing bedsheets.

<insert name here> OUT!

Should work pretty well and I'll flog them with plenty of Velcro letters so the shouty, never happy brigade can chop and change names when they still don't end up with a billionaire Arab in charge...

Hurrah! We've made more money from a player sale, MYM for €7m.

We'll be higher up the rich list next year! Did you look at that piece of accounting skill in the last set of full year accounts? Magnificent it was, international standard bookkeeping.

I honestly don't know why I've ever bothered watching that rubbish on the pitch, the real excitement is in the finance department.....

Great win today, and much needed.

First goal was a corker.

A good win against shocking opposition. Though at times we made it look hard work. Colo slicing the clearance almost into his own net was funny, once cleared.

The Hull player punching the ball into the net and continuing to plead ignorance, less funny, more disgusting.
It should have been red instead of yellow for that.

Good win, Cabella is starting to show his class.
Love watching a player who can run at defenders.

Good interview by Carver and congratulations to him and the team.

That handball though, the ref totally missed it, well spotted linesman.
Should be a retrospective ban.
That simply can not be tolerated.
Blatant cheating.
