Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread Part 'x'

[GSC]

First topic message reminder :

I wouldn't be upset, if it were limited to League 2 and below, and had a quota of English players with an age cap.

[Lowlandbrit]

If Evra does leave too it will be a massive shame, three players who played a massive role in our recent success, three fifths of the best defensive unit I've seen in my time. The best combined £42mil we've ever spent, thank you very much for the memories and years of tireless service.

Needs to happen though, it's time for a fresh start (especially if van Gaal is coming in, since his style is more suited to younger players).

[GSC]

Tim Sherwood sacked.

To Brighton

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Sherwood gone

Stay away from Norfolk please Tim

[Crimey]

Tottenham are a mess right now. 
Does it go:
Van Gaal to Manchester United
De Boer to Tottenham
Sherwood to Brighton
Hughton to West Brom
Mackay to Norwich
Allardyce sacked
Moyes  to West Ham

[GSC]

I have a hunch Pochettino will be Spurs manager

[GSC]

Spurs need to nail this hire really. Gap beginning to grow to top 4

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I'd go Poc to Spurs.

We'll miss you Tim #itshappenedagain #Sherwoodisagooner #ohwhenthespursgotwonildown

[Crimey]

I would have thought they have sacked him now because they have one to appoint immediately.

[GSC]

Pochettino with Cortese DoF?

[Guest]

What's everyone's thoughts on Southampton next year. Could be in turmoil, no manager, Lallana & Shaw potentially leaving & others beginning to question what direction the club are heading. Tough season next year? It only takes a few factors for a club to nose-dive in this division.

[Fernando]

You can replace the likes of Lallana 20m & Shaw-27-30m with 50m John. It's just a matter of who is coach.

[GSC]

De Boer 6/4
Pochettino 7/4

[Guest]

Must be De Boer. Linking up with Eriksen & Vertonghan again, gains immediate respect from the players & it's a big name. He's successful & plays attractive football that Spurs fans have been crying out for. Has Pochettino been that incredible at Southampton.....not for me.

[GSC]

Done a decent job, got Southampton playing attractive effective football on the up. Bright and young.

[Hulking_up]

What's Pochettino's deal with not speaking English?
Can he not bother to learn?

[Guest]

[GSC]

He can speak English fine, he uses a translator for dealing with the media so he doesn't get misquoted

[Mat]

Sherwood for The Baggies!

[GSC]

Tbf he seemed out of his depth to me.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Seems like Allardyce survives. That must mean we plan some investment this summer cos Sullivan won't have another dull season like that.

[GSC]

Seems Tom Ince is now off to Inter. In Tom Ince style he'll be linked with Juventus, Roma, Inter, Napoli before joining Sassuolo

[GSC]

Sams in a meeting with the owners now no?

[NickisBHAFC]

Ill have Sherwood at Brighton, but he must agree not to bring Bentalb, Obika etc with him.

[NickisBHAFC]

I want Big Sam out of the Prem. Getting board of watching West Ham playing rugby.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Sams in a meeting with the owners now no?

Sky were about 3 hours behind. He's survived until another meeting in 10 days according to the papers. Hes through to judges houses!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I want Big Sam out of the Prem. Getting board of watching West Ham playing rugby.

You'll have no need to watch it with the lack of bottle your side have.

[mystiroakey]

typical seagulls. get a sniff of a lobster but settle for floor chips instead.

[mystiroakey]

Gonna have to hope and pray you meet us in the cup Nicky

How could we pick up 41 points from 6 wins and 9 draws?

Because you've read the table wrong

Who has it in a win, loss, draw format   

23 draws good god that'd have been fun

[CFCNick]

Imagine finishing midtable scoring 10 goals in 38 games   

[CFCNick]

Would be amazing if Hull win the cup!

[Fernando]

You mean something like this then Nick

[NickisBHAFC]

Chelsea's though is just saying it might happen. Arsenal's is confirming they have won it. I know the FA Cup has been handed to them, but they could be professional to Hull.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Liverpool printed shirts with Premier League champions on

People have to make plans for such things

[Dolphin Ziggler]

You think it's the clubs decision to put these things up? Cos Arsenal run the roads?

[CFCNick]

What Nick said. Ours was about the "far from certain" "possibility".

That Islington sign is as if they've already played the game, marched up the steps, shook hands with the suits, and gone mad on the pitch.

Hoping for an NFL style meme of African kids celebrating the impending delivery of Arsenal FA Cup Winners gear. If Hull win.

Like this,

[GSC]

Ultimately Dolphs right.

Also it doesn't confirm anything.

[Duty281]

May I ask how having to play Tottenham, Everton and Liverpool, not to mention Wigan, means you've had the FA Cup handed to you?

Ludicrous statement, they've had a testing road to the final.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Tottenham in despair, had Howard Webb on their side vs Liverpool. Everton was tough. It's a bit over the top, granted.

[Duty281]

Howard Webb should have sent Gerrard off in that game.

[GSC]

What a joke football has become.

[GSC]

To put that in perspective, Championship clubs receive 1.7m

[CFCNick]

Not really a joke though. It's just what happens when people around the world are willing to pay top money to watch this league.

[GSC]

Cardiff received more than last seasons winners.

Said it before, FFP will not work in the Championship, you'll end up with the same teams cycling in and out of the PL. It'll become like the top 4 used to be, only without the ability for a City to break in through spending.

[whocares]

interesting numbers - may I ask why there is such discrepancies on the facility fees?

[CFCNick]

That's because of TV deals kicking in. Like the BT Sport and the big NBC deal to show every Premier League game live.
