Hell, end it now. The season is just a prelude to the main event anyway: summer transfer window.

I still have faith that Swansea can claim the 4th place trophy when Arsenal get battered by Chelsea.

I've never been impressed by him. Yes, he runs around a lot and helps to cover our defensive shortcomings but imo he has no place in a proper side, it's just we're quite bad so he gets games. He's our Cattermole, tbh - a bit reckless, a bit poo poo, but he puts in effort so those deficiencies are quite often downplayed.

Even when he was being hyped as a top ball winner Yohan Cabaye was making more tackles per game than him.

With roughly the same number of bookings.

Its surprising Ashley hasn't sacked him yet. To make the comments he did to the press and then to carry on like nothing happened isn't usually the MO for his type.

True, but overall I think you have to give Newcastle good marks in player transfers over the past couple seasons.

And I don't think there is anything wrong with Ashley refusing to invest more of his money in the club. He already loaned Newcastle something like £130m. Iirc, none of that money was from buying the club either.

My understanding is that the main problem with Ashley (other than the Pardew mess) is that he's let Newcastle fall behind financially. He paid off all of the loan sharks that Shephard used, but hasn't done anything right on the business side since then.

He just bought another 4 million shares in Rangers.

I don't like that Garry Monk is blaming 'concentration' and saying the team needs to work harder when the reason they threw away points against Newcastle was that the midfield was clearly exhausted after an hour but the man refused to make a sub until the 85th minute.

And then it was a winger and Marvin Emnes.

Tommy Carroll on for Ki midway through the 2nd half and we win that 8-1.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says he wants to manage the club one day.

Ferdinand won six Premier League titles during his 12-year career at Old Trafford.

And the 35-year-old told the Manchester Evening News: "I am not stupid enough to think that I will pass all my badges and then Manchester United will come asking me to become their manager.

"But I want to be the best in whatever field I go into and that means managing a big club like United or your country."

You're too hard on yourself, Rio. You're stupid enough to think anything you want.

Stoke chairman Peter Coates has handed a tear-stained letter to the FA officially complaining that Garry Monk and John Hartson pointed out that he employs a cheat.

Garry Monk will receive a fine because all corruption in football is supposed to remain internal.

Nothing will happen to Hartson because he is a pundit and it is literally his job to talk poo poo about football. It's nothing to do with the FA.

I haven't seen much of him this season, but in the Leciester game it looked to me more like De Gea had absolutely no faith in his defence. Which is understandable really.
