Well, it was, quite similarly to this I suppose, the end of a contract term, got the call saying that it wasn't to be renewed. If i'd shown up for work at any point I'd just have been told the same and gone home so

Yeah, it happens a lot when people post articles and stuff, the "remove format" button is very useful in that regard.

In deliberately hard to read blue?

So...what should they have done?

As we know, Taylor and Jonas are in Ireland right now. What should the club have done? A phone call is reasonably respectful imo(I've been sacked by phone before), though not sure on the "pass the phone over" bit. Campbell finding out via twitter however...

Err kinda both I guess. It's darker than either, game of thronesy in that respect.

I see where you're coming from but the disappointment in his second stint was down to the owner and the board not him.

Really weird question for a thing from a chinese IP address to have copy/pasted into here.

It'd look better on the shirt than Wonga at least.

I've got thereabouts over the weekend, planning to set aside any heavy story and go gear hunting tonight as I've some decent stuff at the moment but my armor looks awful (I look like a bloody court jester!)

Yeah but we might have someone by friday.

Agree with that. Messi is the best I've seen by quite a margin. Ronaldo is impressive but doesn't float my boat in the same way, he does things that are incredible, his goalscoring speaks for itself but I've never seen him do something that seemed impossible. After that , for players I watched a lot, Ronaldinho at his best and Kaka around the time he won World Player of the Year were my favourites.

What was charlton actually like as a player? Games changed a lot but are there any players about at the moment who have a similar style?

Zenit is a deplorable club in many ways but this I like!

A lot of french players who he'd have immediate sway over, I reckon Sissoko is one who would respond to him very positively. No lose situation here for a first time manager, if you succeed youve done so despite the board, if you fail (as long as you dont look as inept as carver) its the boards fault as far as the media are concerned and then you've got yourself on the managerial merry-go-round and will get a job elsewhere.

Anyone playing or planning to? I've um'd and ah'd over it as I hated the second (voice acting was awful and jarring, can't spend 100 hours or whatever it claimed to be in a game like that) but caved due to my lack of willpower/any other games at the minute. Enjoying it mostly but the combat (on consoles at least) is a bit shit. Still gets a recommendation on my part.

You've not really paid attention to us lately have you?

Run at willo with a football and see what he does.

Agreed, he was the one I was most surprised we seemed to be letting run down to being released.

A lady manager, progressive. In all seriousness that might just be a superb appointment! Guingamp have been a real surprise package in french football the last couple of seasons, won the french cup last year, got through the group stage of the Europa league this when not expected to.

Christ, what a proper twat.

Same as happened at most of his clubs, hes a pain in the arse to manage and not consistent enough with his moments of excellence to be worth it. Still more enjoyable to watch than anyone we have at the club anymore.
