"Howe has the glamour of the modern about him"

well his face looks like spam, and I guess that's modern.

I'll always side up with a baldie over some cunt who has had the same hairstyle for 20 years.

If you like an annoyingly chipper 1950's twat in the UK you've got it made.

*look like*

And yet everyone continues to underrate Sean Dyche ;_;

― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 February 2018

By "everyone" I assume you mean "the owners and chief execs of the richest clubs in England"? I think I've heard rather a lot of noise about how good a job SD has done at Burnley?

Seems to me SD offers a (much) more likeable / more articulate version of Allardyce's mill-town technopragmatism.

Tim otm. SD underlines the modern, more likeable by eating worms. Great kings let the people feel he's one of their own.

Gave a great hourlong interview in the second captains players chair a few months back did underrated Sean dyche

the extra % you get out of players by eating worms, can't be underestimated imo.

I bet Eddie Howe underestimates the effectiveness of worm-munchery.

Another compelling argument against artificial pitches imo.

I sometimes wonder if some of the more extreme examples of diva-ish "superstar" type players might not connect with your more erm.. down to earth type managers. Like they might relate easier to older fellow narcissistic poseur types and recognise in them the same personality disorders they have. I'm probably talking shite, time for some more wirrums!

In a positive or negative way?

Plenty of examples of both types of manager not getting best out of young superstars tbf

I think I've heard rather a lot of noise about how good a job SD has done at Burnley?

That was the joke, people have been constantly banging on about it for months.

My favourite Sean Dyche story is about the time he sat Kieran Trippier down to explain the Hacienda to him.

Kieran still thinks he meant the macarena bless

Haha sorry Matt, I made the mistake of underrating the deliciousness of your irony.

i miss quique

Batting those big beautiful eyelashes of his.

Pep charged for wearing political ribbon

smh

Unless that ribbon was made by child labour it's got no place in the Prem

Heh.

So wait

Is the poppy banned or not

There's nothing political about the poppy as we keep telling the fucking foreigns

gtf in VLP!

Mounie!!
I don't want to curse it, but we are just about on the verge of getting Pardew pumped!

Well done Terriers! These matter.

Always a good day when Toon piss away a win.

The standard of football in that Watford Everton game was unforgivable

lol I watched some of it, it was very bad, but mostly from Everton

I've developed a weak spot for teams like Brighton and Watford, who are doing pretty well with limited means. Everton can get tae fuck though (sorry Michael J. :-/)

Horrible feeling of inevitability about this

Makeshift palace back four will not be tested and benteke hattrick

please score seven

You clearly doubt my sincerity

Eric Dier is 50% of our last line of defence

^ delivered in similar tones as "run, you fools!" as a Balrog takes grip

OTOH Wayne Hennessy is sub Robinson shit

Christ

There's a collector's item

ffs deems

if spurs don't win this it's entirely on you

A curse on he who predicted it so evilly and so well eh?

I know that story ye superstitious wretch

Dier

So English

I mean Portuguese German but so so English

So theoretically one could strangle Kane with a bootlace in the box, as long as he's offside? No penalty?

Red card possible but no free/penalty

This palace side is like watching united ffs

why are the panel doing SHOOTING-OF-JFK levels of scrutiny re the Kane penalty shout and literally five seconds on the nailed on Davies one

upper case was my phone's doing there but I quite like the effect

I think it's a happy accident

Aurier the mythical "good in attack" that lazy writers use when a full back often has the ball high up the pitch despite doing the wrong or the shit thing every fucking time

Three foul throws in one game

He is a cunt

Davies bringing 2016 back too and I'm not talking about the Euros

That's a penalty tbf
