How else would she get to sleep at night?

She'll be on a hunger strike next

Keep it. One for your podcast

He must be a considerate lover, endless foreplay and no finishing in the box.

I'd go back to a Longstaff, Joelinton, Bruno midfield. It worked well last season , and after the last 3 games we need to get back to basics. Id also be tempted to give Wilson a start at CF, and 2 from Gordon/Barnes/Isak as RW and LW. Burn back in at LB.

Would your mum really stop listening for that?

We've scarcely any listeners anyway, wouldn't want to lose more by courting such controversy.

Ease off the mushies Mandy pet.

Might be an idea to get a smooth operator like Hall in then.

He’s the hero Team Sausage deserves , but not the one it needs right now …

Cheers Mam. That’ll learn them

On the contrary: clumsy in the box

You don’t need end product when you are a FOOTBALLING GOD

Hopefully Sven is fit for this one. Id feel a lot more confident.

I don't think you're giving enough weight to how convincing the owners can be, and how confident/arrogant managers can be. Potter didn't take that job knowing he'd fail, he took that job because he would have been assured he'd be supported, given time, given control etc. And he would have believed that he could right the ship, get them playing good football, win the fans etc.

it is mate, although I used a bit of poetic license with his title.

Which suggests this is from Chicken Nonce. Who is never right. Time to worry lads.

No idea what you mean.

That's doubly concerning. Used as a sedative AND demoted?!

Fish is married. I think he mentioned it once.

‘How’s the Nuno Espírito Santo did you say?’

Constantly dribbling though.

The poor fucking bastards

You're really desperate for Hall to play aren't you?

Keir Starmer today. There's no case for it is there not? Yes, yes, I know why he is doing this but honestly, how many votes is this twat going to lose in Scotland and elsewhere with this bullshit. Sick of having to hold my nose when I vote.

Possibly the boys from Brasil, seeing they will both be back late from their international duty. Regardless Eddie will have given them all a kick to the nads to get their concentration back.

Aye. We are their bitch now. Top job, right-wing cunts, top job.

The only irony is our current (and future) relationship with the EU is far more slavish than it was previously.

Freddie Boswell and Lilo Lil both died in 2020. Three blissful years of uninterrupted heavenly humping is about to come to an end.

Agreed. Think he would have been a great choice for West Ham.

It's a legacy thing isn't it, the good English coaches are young (Howe, Potter, etc.) and haven't yet proven themselves in club football which is the usual route to the very top jobs. The big clubs have snatched up the top managers from around the world, because they've been proven elsewhere first. Guardiola, Klopp, Pochettino, Postecoglu, all of them cut their teeth elsewhere first. Then comes the hyper competitive nature of the elite teams in the PL. Man City can't gamble on someone like Potter yet, because while he did a good job at Brighton, that's a very different prospect to Manchester City. When jobs do come the way of young English managers it's usually because that elite club is in flux and more willing to gamble, but that very flux is a barrier to success. Potter inherited an absolute shitshow at Chelsea, with a bloated squad, an inexperienced owner and an expectant fanbase. He was doomed to fail from the off.

Sunlin! FTM

Aye, but what about the two women?

Admin crew, it’s time. Name change to Wycuckitoon please.

That's Longtime Admirer when she heard ASM was fucking off to Saudi isn't it?

@LongTimeAdmirer... I felt like you do now when craig bellamy was shunted off to celtic, I was so distraught I wanted souness to walk past a giant magnet. I still think about little craig every day, there's a good chance you'll never get over this. I genuinely feel for you.

It wasn't an IT issue, you giant tit. It was literally a "you've collapsed the entire forum with your big daft spacca fingers". You were standing in front of the closed fridge asking your lass why you couldn't see its contents.

I knew all along he was the new Guardiola.

This was my concern, his Bournemouth team took the piss up here when we went down under McLaren, (it's funny how he fades from the memory, good coach apparently, tragic manager), however, the team we had up to Howe's appointment didn't scream out anything other than 'down' and I just thought as good as his teams could play they could also be a bit of a soft touch and we were probably the softest touch around when he came into the job. I thought he was the right appointment at the wrong time but give him his due, he did his homework on the players and also got them to buy into his way of working on and off the ball, gave them some confidence and belief but his greatest achievement early on was to thoroughly get Steve Bruce out of their systems, the players were downbeat as it must've been crystal clear Bruce was a 100% defeatest ten years past his sell by date and just going through the motions dragging their footballing reputations with him.

I didn't include you because you're irrelevant but I'll throw you a bone.

'oooo look at me, to be sure, to be sure'
