he has been around forever and never actually done much anywhere, maintaining a top echelon player rep without doing fuck all is an artform imo

obv not the first time he could be accused of [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]. But that was a long time ago tbf

hey, he's a guy who's always gonna get you 6,7 goals a season no problem

I didn't realise he banged in 20+ in Norwich's last EFL season, but that was one swallow amongst a bunch of malfunctioning cuckoo clocks.

Yesterday, or the second half at least, was the most inept refereeing I've seen at any level.
Marker was placed immediately after the restart, gave a penalty against us for a fairly innocuous coming together which I suppose you can't really complain about but then showed a straight red for the challenge which as we all know was removed by rule change last year. And it all went downhill from there culminating in a flying challenge with both feet over the ball only getting a yellow and a player booked for a tackle which wasn't penalised. Not to mention a range of decisions being given blatantly the wrong way, the highlight being a genuinely great save by their keeper pushing a free kick over the bar being given as a goal kick.
I honestly thought reffing would improve when we went up but it's got way worse.

willy sagnol now making a splash in the betting
following the pre-warnock briatore at qpr path like so far the next man up is edwards, then an honourable but brutally grim spell under silva, then steve cotterill, then two games with paul hart, then fosun abandon the structure and big sam takes you up

Sagnol has a recent history for Ron Noades style idiot science racism, possibly too much of liability maybe?

he wasn't actually bad in his first couple of seasons, but once the heroic workrate dropped off it became apparent he wasn't really top L1 standard.
― calzino, Saturday, 29 October 2016 16:25 (seven years ago) link
it was actually quite a classy header
two minutes later he scuffed one wide unmarked from 15 yards though, just to prove it was really him
think he might be useful when fed on a pure diet of crosses
