The Other Teams Thread [R]

Seems obvious, but obvious means nothing for some..

 

You know when to give up, OTT.

 

i thought he said 'big cnut' not 'black cnut' but he's still the least likeable person in football

chelsea really need some new clientel, luiz looked good last season at first, but his decision making is terrible now....not to mention terry being shit

unless u lot pick up some form again, city aren't gonna have any trouble winning the league

 

looks like he said fooking black cnut to me.

as for the league, we're in october. i'm sure we'll have more relevant discussions 4 months from now.

 

true, but city look so strong....i guess their main issue is keeping everyone happy

 

there is no but. the league is 38 games long, it cannot be decided after 10 matches. that's not how it works. as good as a team can look over a stretch of 10 games, it can look like shite for another 10. alternatively, you can play well and not have any luck and drop points quite often too. Citeh lead by 5 pts after a quarter of the season. that is 2 results. To suggest anyone is locked in to win at this stage is ludicrous.

The club overachieved to be in the 8th position in the league...Who delivered that 8th position by the way??....Wasnt it Sparky??....Anyway the chairman can write as many letters as he wants but I dont think it had make much of a difference...The reason for him quitting must have been because Chelsea might have shown interest in him....Meh...Not bothered to go further on this one to be honest....

 

i'm not saying they are locked, but they are very impressive with the best squad in the league by a mile

tough times ahead for football, i can see them dominating over the next few years

 

hughes is not well liked and with good reason

failed at city and generally an arrogant man

 

Sven's been sacked at Leicester.

11 managers in 11 years. Blimey.

 

surely with the extra investment, he could have gone for better players than nugent, beckford and neil danns?

the squad seems reasonable, but my friend went to the birmingham game and said beckford diddn't even start!

To be honest, he bought good players in the likes of Nugent, Beckford, Danns, Kasper, Gelson Fernandes, Michael Johnson, John Pantsil, Matt Mills, Sean St Ledger etc.

Considering the players they have bought/money spent, they had to be doing way better then they are right now. But sacking shouldn't have been on the agenda. Now they will have to rebuild again and get used to another new manager.

Martin O'Neil is the favourite, but other names are Billy Davies, Mark Hughes, Dave Jones, Roy Keane, Alan Shearer etc.

It's an attractive club - money.

 

Back to the JT thing....article says, "QPR's Anton Ferdinand will decide tomorrow whether or not to report Chelsea captain John Terry to the FA". Aren't there cameras, and officials, and an FA to police the game?

He has to agree to press charges Lynne. Just like the real world. Police can only press charges if a victim agrees.

 

Thats the problem. With Racism, its should not require anyone to press charges.

If they are serious about it, any sniff should bring about some sort of inquiry.

 

Criminal charges are brought by the state (who was interested in public safety and welfare), not the victim.

So fundamentally that's what I'm saying here. Seems like the FA would want to police their game. They have the proof. Anton Ferdinand would be a witness -- one who might not want to create a scene -- not the "accuser".

 

The other problem is that the action is made light of our referred to as somebody using a "card" instead of a horrible action. Like I said earlier what does it matter if they have video of him saying it and others heard him? He'll just say he said something else and people who don't understand or identify with such an incident will sweep it under the rug.
