Which is weird because the most interesting thing about the SPL over the last 20 years has been the possibility of Hearts winning it. It's certainly the only reason I'm paying any interest to it. Also, the match write ups for the SPL on the BBC website are levels above the EPL write ups.
Probably the one person I didn't want to go there. His title is 'manager', not 'coach' too. Means he'll have more say in things
Half time at St James and it's Toon 2-0 up over WHam. Nuno started with 5ATB and they conceded 2 quickly, then he went 442 bringing Castellanos on and they've looked much better.
That game was exhausting to watch. This relegation battle has shredded my nerves. Newcastle battered them in the first 20 minutes, Nuno changed to a back four, and it became a basketball game with Newcastle constantly giving the ball away, and Spam lacking the quality to punish them. Funny, the ref was that clueless twat Australian we had on Monday, and him and the VAR missed a clear pen for hand ball by Soucek, and one red to Soucek for kicking Guimaraes in the head, twice, and Djiouf for an elbow to the head. If either of those is Romero, we know the outcome. A good result for us, but still too much fishy business going on for my liking.
Was out playing golf with an old friend in town for the weekend. Wasn't thinking about the game at all. Suddenly I get a text from a mate that just said 'suck it, West Ham'. I mistook that for an angry message and thought they'd won. When I subsequently checked the score it was a VERY pleasant surprise.
What a shock, Haavertz with a high challenge on a Burnley player, it's a red all day long, but Chris Cavanaugh and the VAR bottle it. ********ing disgraceful.
Villa get a third to put it to bed. Freiburg 0-3 Aston Villa - 72' We'll only be Europa League holders for a few minutes more.
A magnificent performance by them. Thank God we played them when we did or they would have shredded us with their full team. And to think they were a Championship team in 2019. Like Liverpool and Arsenal, they didn't need oil money to build successful teams. It shows how important good ownership is at a football club.
Arsenal were the 'original' big spenders way back in the 1930's - Google Arsenal bank of England team. Liverpool were bankrolled by Littlewoods pools in the 1960's and 1970's.
The Bank of England and Littlewoods would be the tiniest accounting rounding errors in the Etihad cartel.
Robbie Keane has stepped down as manager at Ferencvaros in Hungary. Putting a few quid on him turning up at Celtic soon might not be a bad investment.
Some very odd choices indeed. Jordan Henderson, John Stones - is it 2016 again? I would have found space for Gibbs-White, considering the season he's had.
Its all relative to the time, basically Arsenal spent their way to success in the 1930's, Liverpool did 40 years later and the thing is once you've spent your way to the top its 'easier' to stay there. We aren't going to see City back in league 1 any time soon.
Evening, gents. I must admit. I have searched through your threads and I have a total and complete respect for you ignoring the biggest news of the week. Well done.
Hello boys. I said a few months ago that Paulinha would save us and thank goodness he did. 2 consecutive seasons we finish 17th, 3rd coach and scratchy wins. Is RDZ the man for us? For me he's another TF. When a team hires mediocre managers that team will get mediocre football and results. Obviously we offload a lot of players but just who do we get to turn our fortunes round? Arsenal have proved that it's better to keep hold of a coach rather than sacking after sacking after sacking. We need to follow their example like it or hate it.
