Mike Ashley told reporters that Pardew will be sacked if they lose against Stoke tomorrow, however his lawyers later instructed the reporters that it was a joke so I guess Pardew will see his 900 year contract through.

Serious question - is it still really necessary?

No it's definitely not necessary these days. Firms are definitely still a thing, but policing in and around stadiums has improved so much, and the number of CCTV has increased, so that there's rarely trouble in or near any of the big grounds. Firms tend to arrange meets in town centres or outskirts of, and the vast majority of the time the police stop anything before it happens. Banning drinking does nothing but annoy those who fancy a few beers while watching their team get thrashed by, idk, leicester foxes fc.

“He’s got one more game,” Ashley said. “If we lose against Stoke on Monday night then he’s gone. I have had enough.”

Making a throat-cutting gesture, Ashley added: “Dead. Finished. Over. One more game then that’s it. What would you do? I have spent a lot of money on that club, it’s cost me a lot. I won’t put up with it any more. Honestly, answer me, what would you do? One more loss and he’s gone, he’s over, finished.”

Ashley was speaking outside The Golden Lion pub in London’s Soho district on Thursday night where he was having a drink with a friend.

When asked if he had informed Pardew about his decision or lined up any replacements, the billionaire said: “That’s all I’m prepared to say about it and now that I’ve said it, it’s out there. You can do what you want with it. There’s only so much I can take.”

For Pards to say this was Ashley's funny way of being supportive. They have such a weird relationship; I'm sure they absolutely despise each other now.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp has called on the football authorities to consider following their rugby counterparts by allowing temporary substitutions to improve the treatment of concussion.

Redknapp was frustrated after medics withdrew Sandro just 11 minutes into Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Southampton following a heavy blow to his head.
According to Redknapp, the midfielder seemed to have recovered by half-time.

Redknapp said short-term replacements was an idea "worth looking at".

Course he'll need a bit more squad depth to deal with the extra substitutions, just one or two top players but that's all in the chairman's hands now, you'll have to ask Tony about that

"No, honestly, ref, it's my head that's hurting, not my knee. I know it was my knee that was kicked, but it's my head that really hurts from the landing. I think I'm concussed. Yeah, send on a temporary sub, I'm sure I'll be okay to play again by the 90th minute."

What's super cool is that Louis van Gaal has bought players and all of them have been fully sick and Brendan Rodgers has bought players and they've all been hot sick

This makes me think that I don't want FLJ to be happy, which is a shame.

I do hope the team starts looking more fluent soon. Right now, the side looks a lot like it did when Rodgers had just started.

It would probably be more entertaining for other fans to see this run of crap continue as the blame game for the bad recent results is already having fans going at each other on sites like Rawk.
