Well, I am going for my first home game in 2 yrs, and the last 2 home matches I have been to we haven't won... so 0-0 it is then

No, he's at West Brom, currently trying to work out how to pay the £5mill due from losing his recent court case.

Isn't that money he has to pay Crystal Palace? That'll come in handy for them to pay off Pardieu's contract.

Sadly, yes.

Maybe we could hire Cesc for the afternoon to taunt Mak Huge about Barcelona.

Oh.

It really couldn't happen to a nicer chap, could it? With this and Allardyce, 2016 really has been the year for karma biting the arse of clogging, Neanderthal football managers.
