No video, just audio.

Joe Kinnears rant. *WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE*

Sorry if this is unsuitable.

EDIT - Beaten to it.

The best parts are the very beginning and the very end. The very beginning for obvious reasons; and the last three or four lines of the transcript because they are just completely ridiculous if you take into account all that was said beforehand.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

That is absolutly hilarious! I love it, "Where's Simon Bird?" - "You're a Cunt." that is what football should be about. Bwahaha.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Suddenly he's become the greatest manager Newcastle have ever had, bar none.

This is going to be a great few weeks until the nigerians come and take him away

[stokeriño]

Apparently South Africans are more likely now.

That's only one or two rungs up the ladder on Dodgy Countries Whose Investors You Really Shouldn't Trust list, but every rung counts.

[-A-]

They asked Scolari whether he'd ever sworn 52 times in an interview like Joe Kinnear and he replied 'who?' Now Kinnear's got himself another enemy

I fully expect a bid from Robert Mugabe, just to piss off as many South African as he can.

Poor Scolari.

He's just found himself on the list.

[Anderson]

Just the Scolari thing, it's so funny. The journalists can't stop laughing but Big Phil doesn't know why, or who Joe Kinnear is

[stokeriño]

If John Terry and Alex do have to miss the Villa game this weekend through injury (not that John Terry ever would, because he's too much a man of fucking steel to let some lame mid-week knock keep him from playing), and with Carvalho still out, I've been trying to work out what Chelsea's centre-back partnership would have to be.

I've come up with Ivanovic and Mancienne. And no one on the bench.

Fuck.

[-A-]

Belletti at centre-back possibly? It'd be good to see Mancienne get a start, but it probably will just be Terry-Ivanovic.

[stokeriño]

Belletti will be busy filling in elsewhere, probably at right-back, with Bosingwa ahead of him and Lampard/Mikel/Ballack in central midfield.

[The Third Dukes]

So I just saw footage of the interview, and is it wrong that my first thought was to wonder when Ozzy Osbourne was named a soccer manager?

[stokeriño]

SOMEONE FUCKING SCORE A GOAL

:@

Preferably Sunderland.

A boring afternoon so far. Not a single goal in the Premiership.

[stokeriño]

I believe my prior outburst alluded to as much.

[IAceI]

Ugh. Saturday's are shit now. Saturday 3pm is meant to be Premiership football... 3 matches!? Fucks sake.

[stokeriño]

It's all the UEFA Cup's fault.

Plus the West Ham/Bolton match for TV, of course.

But yeah, mainly the UEFA Cup.

[IAceI]

A goal

From West Brom... wow...

[stokeriño]

Roman Bednar just reserved a minimum of 10 minutes for himself on MOTD, since they'll have nothing else to talk about.
