What are the chances of Pardew lasting the duration of the five and a half year contract he's been given?

Looks like its going to be Alan Pardew according to BBC. I will LOVE IT if they get relegated.

And how could we forget, the top of Mount Everest, where a fan died earlier this year. Peter Kinloch

I'm sure I've told this story before, but I was wearing an ICT top in Cairo about 10 years ago and enthusiastic market trader called out "Come here my friend, I support Scotrail too!"

Wow, that's quite a transformation for an outsider who knew nothing of our history just a few weeks ago!

Or perhaps trying to offload. Golly or Roy?

There's always the classic "Soft southern b*****ds......"

The SPL have announced that all games are ON, unless they get called off. In other words, they have not decided to call them off early like they did last week.

Online shop??? And if anyone has any other rhetorical questions, Alex will be happy to answer them

You'd have to think Martin O'Neill would be a contender.

Very good question. I think the simple fact that he was part of a management team at Ashley's Newcastle United gave him a hefty clue that he didn't have long to go.

They must be running out of ex-player messiahs by now, surely. Mind you, John Robertson's not had his turn yet.

Is this a subtle way of plugging your listings? You put it perfectly, WTF! The seller has a whole range of patriotic/bigoted fridge magnets.

What, you mean the SFA finally lost its crown?

We know that every 4 years Scotland suffers a FIFA World Cup disappointment, but in 2010 England trumped us with not one but two failures humiliations. How can I vote for the FA as "Team of the Year"?

I may have got my dates all wrong, but I seem to recall that a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on the Niculae case was initially expected shortly after the hearing ICT attended in September. I'm sure there was then an announcement on the ICT site that the verdict was being postponed by a month. All has been quiet ever since. Anyone know what is happening?

Aye, there's no poverty or inequality in Russia or Qatar.

Why wait til January? Presumably because we have raised the subject of a new contract already and Rooney said he'd rather wait and see what offers come in during the window. Or am I just a pessimist?

Hope so. You'd have to imagine though that Golly could be off in January.

Far from it. His comments there are ones which simply keep his options open. Where was the bit where he says "I'll be staying. I'm not interested in the Aberdeen job."

One of the best, and yet worst, jokes of the week!

You're only as old as the man that you feel....

Most nations are poorer than Qatar! Maybe we could get one.

Great news

Russia and Qatar are countries who strike me as being willing and able to pay large amounts of money to ensure their bids are successful.
