Fair fucks to Pulis for criticising his own players for diving

Shame he never did the same when he used to get them to kick the shit out of opposition players.

And on that note, Charlie Adam has been charged with stamping on Giroud. Though they're gonna appeal it.

tbf he probably only did that against Arsenal because at one point they had a reputation for making a meal out of things.

Yes, but Crystal Palace are fast becoming one of the scummiest teams in the league.

To be fair i've not really seen much of them, the blokes a cunt anyway no matter what he says about diving or anything else in my eyes.

How come Soldado is now the greatest striker ever after scoring 1 goal against Cardiff?

What are you talking about? He was slated for laziness and poor positioning on MOTD2.

All the papers and the Spurs interviews were all about how they "knew he'd come good" and all that jazz

"Pardew charged by FA for violent conduct"... well, who didn't see that coming?

Meanwhile... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/mar/04/vincent-tan-cardiff-city-illegal-bonus

I really don't imagine this leading to a points deduction but if it actually happens, Cardiff are fucked.

It's 9 more goals.

A few penalties here and there and he'll be grand.

Sherwood said 20 more, not 20 in total. Although I'm pretty sure it was tongue in cheek.

Mainly mentioned it cos Mirror Sport had a 2-page spread about Alan Sugar being wrong, Sherwood saying Soldado has "come good" and some columnist saying he's suddenly worth the money

I think what didn't help Soldado was AVB's style of play. He persisted with putting left footers on the right and right footers on the left. That meant no crosses went in and therefore no chances for Soldado to score. That left him low on confidence. It doesn't help that none of our players know how to cross a ball anyway, especially Townsend. Thank fuck AVB's gone though, that was so painful watching that crap every week.

As for those comments about him, I think he is easily capable of 20+ goals in 1 season, but he has to be used right for that to happen. He hasn't come good yet and if he reaches 15 this season then i'll take that. I doubt Sherwood is serious when he says he'll get 20 more, he's just trying to motivate him and show belief. Its not like he's going to say he'll get fuck all goals for the rest of the season is it? Maybe we should get Bale back on loan for a bit. His time with Ronaldo will most likey have improved his diving skills and we can get more pens for Soldado to score!

How come the Utd - West Brom game is on at the same time as the Arsenal - Everton FA cup game tomorrow lunch time? Don't they usually try to avoid this type of thing?

Funny the reactions of the media, to JFK mispronouncing some players names and Mourinho suggesting that one of his players is lying about his age and essentially committing fraud.

One is fat ignorance, the other is a joke.
Don't be ludicrous.

(Not to say that Mourinho's comments weren't stupid)

Kinnear had just taken a big job at your club and he called your star player Kebab. If that's not ignorance, then I don't know what is.

And I'm not gonna go out of my way to explain a joke. Never really works.

He mispronounced the names as he mispronounces names. He mispronounced players names who he'd managed before. And mispronounced players names last time he was here.
