'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

oh daley ;_;

Back on our league in the wrong thread for a minute, you all probably (rightly) missed Jamie Cureton playing against for 3 different clubs this season and the whole Grant Holt farrago at King's Lynn.

Jamie Cureton is still about eh

holy shit, Jamie Cureton still plays? Being in a coma for the last 10 yers has discombobulated my mine!

Daley is dead, p much ;_;

LOL Grant Holt, another Hibs old boy, with the emphasis on old.

Holt and Lambert at Rochdale were a formidable strike partnership, many many years ago!

before Holt got to that stage where his apologists would often mention his "fantastic hold up play"

Wenger out

RIP big man, never forget

Big Sam will probably available at the end of the season.

his last ever game as manager at our place, fuck they might even turn up!

Unless they get to the Europa final of course

his last ever game as manager at our place

Not if they reach the EL final! I'd be ok with Arsenal winning the Europa League. For Wenger. And for the 'fam' to beg him to stay at that point.

xp

I presumed they were knocked out of everything, and relegated to League 1 - if you listen to Arsenal fans on 5 live.

haha

Will Wexit mean Wexit though?

support the troopz

Give it Sean Dyche.

his last ever game as manager at our place, fuck they might even turn up!

He'll play the Invincibles, all of them. Even Wiltord.

I hear West Ham have a promising manager looking for a move to a really big club.

(Assuming Paul Tisdale doesn't leave Exeter at the end of this season, which he might, he will be the actual longest-serving manager in the football league, which is kind of amazing.)

This is an emotional moment for Tisdale isn't it? Finally, finally, he can be King

Aaah xp

hot take: wiltord was good

He was largely responsible the last time France won anything

geriatric Wiltord still looks very fit, he would probably still make Tommy Smith look one-paced and draw a desperate last-ditch lunge from him!

Well it might be, the thing PT's notice was served on his two-year rolling contract about 18 months ago, by order of a motion at the AGM of the Supporters Trust. A new contract has apparently been offered but not yet signed. So he might leave this summer.

I'm hoping this contributes to him deciding to stay at least another year, we'll see. If he does go, it'll be a shame but not the end of the world, club's in good shape IMO and I trust he's smart enough to have not made himself irreplaceable.

Tfw Brexit is happening

Oh wow there are shorter odds on Brendan Rodgers than Allegri.

Maybe an outside chance, but I wouldn't be surprised if Wagner is linked with this job at some point. Apparently he is on the Chelsea shortlist at the moment.

PULIS TIME

Low would seem a good fit, wouldn't he.

Rodgers would be hilarious tho

pulis would be a george graham for a generation of arsenal fans who don't really understand what the club is all about. there's a moral imperative for this to happen imo

THE PULIS MUST BE BUILT

"It's great to be back". Look at that natural chemistry and effortless bonhomie there, god knows why they ever failed!

I know the betting is meaningless but still lol @ Brendan Rogers being steamed into the 5/4 fav at some bookies.

steaming is an apt adjective

I hope he gets the job.

I can't believe anyone could have a problem with that narcissistic creepazoid managing their club!

HE'S NO PULIS

I'll say one thing for Rodgers, he really relishes beating Rangers, to an almost (Neil) Lennonesque degree.

there are tribes in Borneo who've had no contact with Western civilization who would relish beating Rangers

I feel like this is a great opportunity to ruin the career of a young up and coming English manager like your Sean Dyches or your Eddie Howes

(xp) Yes, but a Deila or a Strachan, with Celtic comfortably winning, would have taken off a few leading players, stuck on a holding midfielder or two - Rodgers brought on three forwards as substitutes.

Poch in

lol

He's ready...

is he in the community?

and vice versa. In fact, winning 50-0 against a scratch team of bemused and scared tribesmen from the Kalimantan forests with only the barest understanding of the game's rules and none of tactics, at a packed Ibrox, that would be the perfect matchday experience for the fascistic bullies who make up the entirety ofthe vast majority ofa majority ofa disturbingly large proportion of Rangers support

Tribunal result for Ampadu comes in and is, IMO, pretty derisory for a player who's gone straight into the first team squad.

If I didn't know better I'd almost the football authorities in this country have structured things to support the richest at the expense of the least rich.
