Good to see that you follow Dan! He wrote a great piece on Financial Fair Play a few months ago.

i don't, i was just looking around lfc messageboards for the direct quotes.

nice bit of bedtime reading for darragh here.

xp ah fair enough

i only do two things in bed tbh

this will only complement your rafa roleplay bondage time, i promise.

can't believe number none posted that blackburn bullshit, that's a fergie and allardyce slur, not a rafa one. what a total load of shit that was!

I saw that but assumed he was playin' and fishing for another "ARGH" response from me!

yeah pretty much

Anyway let's be honest, you've probably got to be some degree of a cunt to make it as a top manager. I bet Guardiola is really narky in the mornings or something

ancelotti, del bosque, rijkaard

mark lawrenson is a cunt.

In Italy

With Sampdoria, he formed a dynamic strike partnership with Gianluca Vialli, and helped the club to its only league title in 1991, four Coppa Italias (1985, 1988, 1989 and 1994) and a Cup Winners' Cup in 1990. He also appeared in the final of the 1991–1992 European Cup against Barcelona.

With Lazio he won his second scudetto (2000) and Cup Winners' Cup titles (1999) as well as two more Coppa Italias (1998 and 2000). In the 1999–2000 season, Lazio won the Scudetto and Coppa Italia, but Mancini failed to score in 20 matches and he announced his playing retirement. He joined Lazio’s coaching staff as Sven-Goran Eriksson’s number two.

Leicester City

Joining Leicester City in January 2001,[13] Mancini made his Premier League debut against Arsenal at the age of 36, but failed to complete 90 minutes in his five appearances for the club.[14] In early February, he was given leave of absence, citing personal reasons. However, he telephoned the club on 14 February, and informed them he would not be returning to England (he had been offered the manager's job at Fiorentina).[15] Despite this, he cites his time at Leicester as the period during which he fell in love with the English game, and which later prompted him to accept the job at Manchester City.[16]

i like how his 541 serie a appearances get as much attention as his 4 games for leicester

Would you perhaps have preferred 433 or 442 appearances in Italy? I'm not sure if 352 appearances is even legal in calcio.

his serie a games all took place in another country tbf

that's the sort of insight we pay you for

it's commensurate with my remuneration, yes

$200 to the server fund was generous, sure

Leicester: Royce, Rowett, Elliott, Taggart, Impey, Jones, Izzet, Robbie Savage, Davidson, Sturridge, Mancini.
Subs: Gilchrist, Guppy, Gunnlaugsson, Akinbiyi, Price.

Leicester's two new forward signings, Roberto Mancini and Dean Sturridge, both started.

Mancini could have scored after just nine minutes only for Sturridge to take a cross off the Italian's head as he was poised to strike.

It was no surprise when Mancini, making his first start for eight months, was replaced by Ade Akinbiyi midway through the second half.

guppy on the bench wtf

Impey, Guppy, Izzet, Akinbiyi - the sort of semi-forgotten names that stir inexplicable nostalgia for failed Fantasy League campaigns long past.

matt elliott to liverpool

it just occured to me today that delap - crouch is going to be one of the most formidable striking partnerships this year.

ha

no

the guy can't head the ball

seriously

Impey, Guppy, Izzet, Akinbiyi - the sort of semi-forgotten names that stir inexplicable nostalgia for failed Fantasy League campaigns long past.

Guppy played for Celtic! For three seasons! And I have no memory of him whatsoever...

the lw england 'didn't have' for ten years imo

adebayor bale becks is gonna be a much deadlier aerial delivery/finish combo imo

i remember liking those names cos they sounded like cartoon characters.

Guppy played for Celtic! For three seasons! And I have no memory of him whatsoever...

Guppy could put a great cross in - mostly underused. Part of our triple swoop for him, John Hartson and um, Momo Sylla iirc.

Jim Magilton! Neil Shipperley! Francis Benali!

wow. two former oxford utd players in that leicester team.

Leicester: Royce, Rowett, Elliott, Taggart, Impey, Jones, Izzet, Robbie Savage, Davidson, Sturridge, Mancini.
Subs: Gilchrist, Guppy, Gunnlaugsson, Akinbiyi, Price.

why does Savage get his full name?

Obviously there was a Roberto Savage in the Leicester squad at the same time. Robbie Mancini had just been sold to Wycombe Wanderers.

bloody painful looking at that leicester team of lower league rough diamonds and knowing qpr turned their noses up at it for mark hateley and a load of other big money rejects managed by stewart fucking houston.

curbs managing keller, elliott, taggart, lennon, alex rae, andy roberts, andy booth, mendonca... we'd never have fallen so low.

course it's all changed now hasnt it. eek.

A brief spell at Nottingham Forest followed, where he scored the opening goal of the game on his debut against Walsall to end Forest's dreadful goal drought. In another game, whilst warming up on the touchline, Forest fans started singing "Andy Impey's got no neck!" He's just a head on some shoulders!" Impey subsequently turned round and revealed his neck to the fans, starting an onslaught of songs about the neckless wonder. These 2 events mean he will go down in Forest folklore forever.

andy later went on to achieve fame as the popular dancehall entertainer vybz kartel.

fun fact: impey not only sat in the away section when qpr sealed promotion at watford but was among the first to invade the pitch as well

mundane thing to do for an ex pro you would have thought but nm

while i'm at it i may as well report that joey barton's been working on the team spirit at loftus rd this morning by destroying one of jay bothroyd's ugg boots

bothroyd for his part is "loving the banta"

McCarthy has one more spare place in his squad after naming 24 players this season and believes other options might also attract Wolves.

He said: “There will be out-of-contract players going to different clubs. One might pop up that’s suitable and if they do, of course we’ll consider it.

“El-Hadji Diouf is out of contract and Steed Malbranque has paid his up at St Etienne.”

I know this is bullshit but I'm still all a-flutter.

either would be great, who do you need more

Why would you need Dioufy? Apart from the entertainment value? And I don't mean footballing entertainment.

Dioufy wd bring some much needed grit and maybe a few more goals

he is a massive grit

like Fletcher-Doyle is a no-brainer at the moment and i think Seb has been undervalued by McCarthy but after that our striking options are thin

He was shit for Rangers (xp)

that proves he's got a good heart imo

Obv. he was too dim to realise what he'd gotten himself into and that might have affected his form
