Fkn Alonso!
Guess who I transferred out this week. Fuck sake.
lukaku uber-trollage...
The effects curbed somewhat by his replacement scoring 13 points himself.
Did you see this about John Terry, Jimmy?
I know you're a fan.
On JT and his sickening sense of entitlement... - Football365
Nice one. Been a while since I read Nicholson in full form. Football365 seems so overrun with user-generated (free) content nowadays in its letter pages taking up pride of place. I'm probably missing a lot of good stuff as I don't particularly care as to what Mickey from Southend (ManYoo fan) has to say about anything.
Terry really is an entitled prick. Nice analysis there but we all knew this to be true anyway. He asked for an eight year contract in his late 20s which culminated him walking into the manager's job. It's going to be enjoyable seeing him fail. He'll still have a nice pundit's seat to trot over to, sadly.
I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing Merson and Thompson humiliated as a result of Silva obviously being more than decent, regardless of the fact that he apparently knew nothing about the biggest league in the world.
Still waiting for Giggs to get a job after losing out on the biggest job in football as his first role. Nice Guardian article on that here On JT and his sickening sense of entitlement... - Football365
He has about as much charisma as a bag of pegs so I doubt there'll be as much offers from television for his mundane, obvious analyses. We'll get the same from Terry but he's an ex-England captain.
A shower of cunts.
Oops, the Giggs article is here https://www.theguardian.com/football...chester-united
certainly it was well known JT is an entitled arsehole, but still I found his argument that basically it's unfair to make multi millionaires spend so much time learning how to do something to be a new low in his huge catalogue of arseholity.
Silva seems to be working wonders with Hull's defence. Could it be that he might have more contacts with affordable, quality players than Mick Phelan did? I think it just might.
British managers are shit. Let's face it. If they weren't, they'd be managing in other countries. It's not like the weather's holding them here.
Either that or the money is good enough down in the Championship which is overwhelmingly British managers and the Premier League is a global centre of excellence where the jobs that DO go to British managers always seem to go to the same ones that have proven track records of.....staying up in Pulis and Allardyce.
Probably a mixture of both.
I think a massive factor is...how many affordable players (or their agents) of the requisite quality is, say, Allardyce on first name terms with?Originally Posted by Jimmy McNulty
Given that all the time he was at WHU he pronounced 'Adrian' as 'Hadrian' without the 'H' I would suggest...not many.
I keep hoping Mavis at Stoke will get the chop...another case of stunning mediocrity.
And suggesting that West Brom were connected with Saido's recreational drug taking being made public two days before the game?
How absurd.
Meanwhile, today in the Asian Champions League, in his first competitive game Oscar and his new team face...Sukhothai.
That's probably a good point. So British players are shit too. And you need foreign managers who are matey with foreign agents to get a hold of those better foreign players. Silva can probably speak three or four languages. Phelan and Allardyce barely one between them.
I've got a Sukothai shirt at home I think from an away game a few years ago. The true home of football.
moving back up the ranks.....looking forward to the blanks and dgws..
Lukaku vs Sunderland has to be a bit of a worry for you.
Eye has been resoundingly off the ball. Had no idea that 40% of my players were out this coming week. Another shit week too. Need to reset my priorities and give far too much of my time to this pursuit again.

Yeah Ibra to Luka is a no brainer there. I see Jesus has done his metatarsal.
Kun could yet play a major role in the run in.
Anyone tempted by Aguero?
Tempted and I still have Jesus to replace. Going to see what I can do in combination with trying to cobble together players for next week. Not sure I ever remember a week with only 8 teams playing. I assume it's too short notice that they'll be adding fixtures to GW28. I haven't been keeping up much, just had three weeks back in the Kingdom and have ignored all the talk of DGWs and whatnot.
Good grief. As it stands, I'll have 4 players max GW28.
Oh, it's a double gameweek this week for Citeh. Neither they nor Stoke will be playing next week, however.
Making the otherwise obvious decision to switch Lukaku out for Aguero rather complicated.
Looks like a few of us went Triple Captain.
Now to working out how to make next week work.
So looks like Ibra will get a three game suspension.
At least getting Kun stopped a lot of people getting -2 from their captain.
2 points up without Aguero even playing...
Thought there had to be more to this than Arsene fancying route one...
Sanchez future in doubt after row with Arsenal teammates - Football365Alexis Sanchez’s future at Arsenal has been cast in major doubt after it was revealed that he had a ‘bust-up’ with teammates days before the defeat to Liverpool.
Sanchez was surprisingly benched for the clash at Anfield, with the eventual 3-1 defeat to the Reds leaving Arsenal fifth, and outside the Champions League qualification places.
The Chilean’s omission from the starting line-up stunned supporters, with his impact as a half-time substitute – he assisted Danny Welbeck’s goal – placing the decision under further scrutiny. 16 Conclusions discussed the selection choice at length.
But it has emerged that manager Arsene Wenger dropped Sanchez due to ‘a series of rows’ between player and manager.
The Daily Mirror claim that Wenger’s ‘patience finally snapped’ with the forward, whose performances and attitude in training has been called into question ever since the 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 first leg.
It is understood that the manager branded Sanchez ‘selfish’, and that his behaviour has been ‘affecting the rest of the squad’.
The Daily Telegraph reveal more with regards to the rows, as they report that Sanchez ‘walked out of training and was involved in a furious bust-up with angry team-mates’ during preparation for the Liverpool game.
It is reported that a number of Arsenal players ‘confronted him in the changing room’ after the Chilean stormed off during a training session.
While fans disagreed staunchly with dropping Sanchez, the Telegraph claim that ‘many Arsenal players back Wenger’s stance’.
The revelations leave Sanchez’s future in serious doubt, with the forward’s contract expiring in summer 2018. He either leaves for a fee this summer, or departs on a free 12 months later. A new contract appears the least likely scenario by some margin.
