Dyches to Watch Out For - The Football League and Beyond, 2012-13

Great post Tim!

who cd possibly have predicted that Adlene Guedioura wd return to the club that let him go like FUCKING IDIOTS and put Forest 2-1 up?

whats the line on stale these days, new mcghee, new hoddle, or still needs mooooooore tiiiiiiiiime

me, my bruv - got to give the guy more time, things not looking great tho

my old man - BUN HIM

Are there any Luciano Becchio goals that don't involve him stubbing in from three yards out then getting whacked in the face?

home to Millwall tonight, i get the feeling anything less than a win will see the lynch mobs start to form

gotta say by the sounds of it idk if he's yer man, fine he gets left a load of deadwood but don't then force them to play a new style and hope for miracles (roger johnson in a high line??) buy yourself some time ffs

moxey has totally fucked him tbf

i know a wednesday fan who swears danny batth is a big deal btw, is he anywhere near the first team yet?

on the subject idk what's happening at wednesday but it's messed up, either or both mandaric and dave jones have lost their marbles

he had a terrible season at Cologne last year, but was v. successful in Denmark which is probly a similar standard to our Championship. personally i'm all for giving the guy time to turn the club's ethos around - i'd rather go down again than do well playing McCarthyite shitkicking antifootball - but then i'm not paying to go see them play badly and lose every week. my old man, who grew up in the Cullis era, doesn't see much problem with shitkicking as long as you do it well. fair enough, chacun a son gout and all that.

Moxey and Morgan installed Solbakken far too late and i don't know exactly how tight they've been on the purse springs, there appears to be a shitload of transfer money and parachute payments lying in somebody's bank account. it is, of course, always easiest to blame it on the manager while you rob the club blind.

that was about Stale, obviously.

i've heard similar about Danny Batth, but i've gotta say none of our academy kids have set Molineux alight as far as i remember. i shudder to think what they were teaching them in the Big Mick era tho.

a high line with Johnson-Berra and the two worst full backs in the history of football is pretty insane, tbf

classic Beeb contempt for the non-Prem, no scores and no text commentary on the website atm

Nobody knows much about it

dad and bro's decision to fuck this one off looking more astute by the second

yeah rtc you know that joke about Andy fucking Keogh?

god what terrible managers are out of work at the moment?

soz bro u knew it was gonna happen

Guedioura Saturday, Keogh tonight, dude's gonna lose his job thx to two blokes he never let go.

let's be honest, Keogh's still shit.

lol Big Mick's Ipswich out of relegation zone

shd get irate/suicidal phone call from dad in the next 5 mins

Millwall are in the play-offs after 19 games. The Championship.

ikr, just as it looked like it was settling

watford coming up on the rails too

let's be honest, Bristol have looked set for relegation all season. but OH? MY? GOD? WHAT?? THE??? FUCK????

decent stream here, nice of us to start playing football in the second half so i can kinda enjoy it

absolutely butchering this bluenose shit but still just 1 in front = i prophecy disaster

1-0, not totally convincing but a sight better for most of the second half.

Hull manager Steve Bruce called Alan Lee a “cheat” after the Huddersfield striker was involved in a violent incident with Bruce’s son Alex. Bruce junior was shown a red card by Howard Webb for pushing Lee shortly after the end of Hull’s 2-0 Championship win, but Bruce senior claimed Lee had provoked his son by elbowing him first.

Steve Bruce said: “We will appeal. It was cowardly by Alan Lee, I thought more of him, I have had a pint of Guinness with him, I have played his guitar and I thought more of him. Cheat is the right word for him, I don’t use that lightly but that’s the right word for him. He’s 15-and-a-half stone and he went down like that.”

what up noodles

0-3 at home to peterborough and o'driscoll magically available, this gets done before the weekend yes?

Sean O'Driscoll will never win

"He can count himself unlucky to have lost his job..." Lovely touch there from the chairman.

"Nobody likes to see a man kicked while he's down," continued Fawaz al Hasawi, while planting a size ten into the prone O'Driscoll's guts.

wd still love O'Driscoll to get a job but i can't see it happening :(

Berg out after eleven games.

Kean In

hughes, warnock, brentford, at least the champo will be lively for us next season i guess

hahahahahahahhhahah those poor bastards

Tbh if by some miracle Big Eck can get them into the Prem next season I dont see what he's got lose to keep him from playing a hard-pressing 3-4-3 with a suicidally high line and seeing what happens. Worked for Martinez

kinda

Hahahaha this never even crossed my mind. Over to you Venky's.

well that was an unexpectedly nightmarish violin concerto piece

totes appropes tho brah

look hull city, no one in the whole world wants to see you, any of your players and especially steve fucking bruce back on proper telly. you've had your fun now pack it in ffs

and you, middlesbrough

City are a project of crystaline beauty that have dropped unlucky in their lumpen manageriate; still it looks like Barmby's squad will flatter that saturnine mackem cunt

in a world where Henning Berg got sacked Solbakken must be looking up the number of a few removal firms right now

We've all seen the Diouf photo, haven't we? We've all seen that.

no sir i had not. bloody hell. who'd have expected racial insensitivity from a Leeds fan?

Wolves have announced that Ståle Solbakken has left the Club with immediate effect. More details to follow.

I'm surprised they've acted so quickly tbh. if they'd shown the same instincts with McCarthy we might still be in the Prem.

now remind me not to look at any fan comments for another 12 months or at least until i'm less vulnerable to despair

Mixed emotions I guess?

i feel bad for the guy, i'm not sure he was given enough of a chance, he blatantly fucked up with the chance he was given. just looking at the number of signings he's made who've been perma-crocked is bizarre, but on the other hand he inherited one of the worst groups of players ever to appear together in the Premier League.
