in this sense, Burnley remain truest to their way

yeah once the club starts talking about their way you know things are really fucking shit
― FernandoHierro, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 11:17 (five years ago) link
it makes me think about the Crewe Way + how they used to be held up as the platonic ideal of a lower league club. Then that myth crumbled to pieces when it turns out they had a long-standing culture of institutional child abuse and even the revered Dario Gradi was using club staff to delete dodgy material off his PC.

he got us to the playoffs, but the football was woeful. 11 behind the ball at home to relegation threatened Notts Co in a 2-2 draw was a great memory! But some ppl remembered him quite fondly because the fuckwit that followed him (Mick Wadsworth) was comfortably our worst post-war manager and took us down to L2.
― calzino, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 12:45 (five years ago) link
lot's of players hated him. I seem to recall a West Ham player accusing him of finishing off his career because he had him jogging on concrete after he wasn't recovered from an injury. But tbf he seems to do expend a lot of his energy helping the homeless in Stoke these days, so he's obv not a total monster.

maybe that's a path that jose could follow to redeem himself

There's probably never been a better time for English football fans to enjoy good, exciting, attacking, technical football that also wins games, certainly compared to the Mourinho imperial phase. You shouldn't have to choose these days.

I was in the pub so not really giving it my full attention but why were there massive fuck off fireworks and what appeared to be Gary Neville doing a DJ set beforehand?

have a feeling money will be lashed out on a new number 9 in January but that's never a straightforward job and especially not in terms of maintaining the shape of the rest of the team

Palace with two goals in three minutes against Man City!

Oh in answer to Matt's question it's because our awesome owners bring the razzle dazzle whenever possible

That Townsend goal was ridiculous.

without Mooy, Hogg and Williams we don't even have a midfield functional enough for the championship. Lol can't wait for Town to get back there tbh.

Chelsea losing now too.

Also Spurs fans, how many times have you seen Andros try that and it end up in the stands? Literally dozens.

Saw townsend belt one into the face of a small child (some distance) behind the goal, making him cry and his dad very cross, in the warm up at goodison park a couple of years back. A sweet strike then as well tbf
― Master Humphrey's Cock (Bananaman Begins), Saturday, 22 December 2018 17:51 (five years ago) link
I mean, everton had put up netting for the warm up specifically to avoid that scenario, but like that was ever going to stop andros peppering the crowd

I know it's only Cardiff but it really does shine a light on how bad Mourinho was. He would never have allowed three or four players to stream forward on the counter like that.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 22 December 2018 18:13 (five years ago) link
yup. It's not all going to be plain sailing but the difference in application and energy is blindingly obvious

Townsend for gots BTW the lad is incapable of scoring non-crackers

― Number None, Saturday, 22 December 2018 18:34 (five years ago) link
When you punt it hopefully from 30 yards 183 times per match then the occasional cracker is bound to happen
