Barclays Premier League 13/14 Thread

First topic message reminder :

Lamela is the biggest waste of money ever

[Guest]

Plus he gets £2m a year for like attending a specific number of dates a year for making motivational speeches. He's filthy rich. Books are pretty pointless, we know much of it anyway. If anything he's lost some respect from key players, those players that actually made him what he is. Like Harry, they state something and then its called a lie by the person in question, I.e Barry bonds. I expect a lot of what fergie is saying is bull****. Great manager though.

As for Hull, never safe. Remember few years ago they were like top 6 at xmas or something stupid, they subsequently were fighting off relegation last day of season. Its a marathon, not sprint for everyone. Arsenal aren't champions n Sunderland aren't relegated.....you get my drift.

Ian Holloway won just SEVEN of his last 33 league games (25 Championship, 8 Premier League) at Crystal Palace #CPFC

W 7
D 11
L 15

That's a pretty poor record tbh

[mystiroakey]

Yeah we lost so many games before the play offs. its not funny!

[GSC]

I'll be honest, I think Holloway is a bit overrated as a manager.

[NickisBHAFC]

I wouldn't say overrated, you only have to look at his work in the Championship with Plymouth, Blackpool and Palace (Scum) But when the going gets tough, Holloway always seems to get going!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'll be honest, I think Holloway is a bit overrated as a manager.

In case people haven't already realised, I really really don't rate him as a manager

[Fernando]

He'll end up at Middlesborough most likely always quite liked Holloway good championship manager but that's it.

I always wondered how Chris Hughton keeps getting jobs im suspecting a few comprising pictures somewhere hidden away. Be gone by new year is my bet anyway.

The only player who hasnt seemingly got respect for him is Keane, and I dont think Fergie cares. Actually, I dont think he cares about anyones respect, he probably enjoyed the whole process and it will be enjoyed by a lot of people. They are a form of entertainment after all.

Its Billy Bonds by the way

Bit harsh, did win the Champ with Toon and had them mid-table in Prem, then took Brum to the playoffs and a decent European campaign on like no budget, and he's doing alright-ish with us.

[Guest]

I think the jury is out on Swansea and Norwich, not sure any of those moves have been a success just yet.

Leroy Fer spits in your face

He's not exactly torn the league up, has he? He's looked alright in patches, and is certainly no Patrick Vieira. Even Johnny Howson has scored this season

That's cos Jonny Howson is obvs the next Messi

[Roller_Coaster]

I'm a fan of the dream teams. Arsene Wenger has Steve Bould and Lee Dixon poking about the place, I said in the Middlesbrough thread that they should bring in Ravanelli + Juninho.

What about:

Mark Bright as manager
Ian Wright as ass man
Aki Riihilahti as first team coach / twitter account monitor
Nigel Martyn as GK coach
Hayden Mullins as def coach
John Salako as conditioning coach
Geoff Thomas as finishing coach

Failing that, Chris Coleman will be out of a job soon.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Pick of the bunch, you have a way with prose Azzy (combined with my purile sense of humour and it being Friday)

Agreed, unfair on Hughton. The player with composite pics to ensure his selection has to be Theo Walcott. How else does he keep getting to pull on the shirt for club and country.

[GSC]

The budget constraints on Birmingham really kicked in after Hughton

[NickisBHAFC]

This. Hughton had a big squad in his season with Birmingham, if he didn't get the play offs it would of been failure.

[GSC]

Really, has Hughton ever done a job where you've thought his teams punched above their weight

[Guest]

Norwich!

[CFCNick]

Norwich!

 

[mystiroakey]

You are all right sack Hughton he is rubbish!

He deserves it and do it quick!



then palace can steal him

[GSC]

I think Hughton is a decent manager, in just not sure he's right for this level.

I think most expected more from Norwich

[Guest]

I expected a lot less from Norwich, Hughton is working a minor miracle down there.

[Guest]

Its Billy Bonds by the way  

haha. i said the baseball legend instead of billy. crack up

[Guest]

Crack, what an appropriate choice of words

[CFCNick]

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I still feel it's a bit too early to be really judging the mid-table sides, lets us get to Christmas time and judge how we're doing then is what I always think

[mystiroakey]

I think we all agree on one teams fate and one teams only.

[GSC]

Bit early to condemn Man Utd to relegation Myst

[mystiroakey]

If only

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Should be a decent game tomorrow Norwich v Cardiff, gonna have to do something I've never done before and leave 5 mins early, work asked me to be in early the bar stewards.

Feeling some Jonny Howson beast mode

Cue the last minute winner.

[mystiroakey]

you sound like an actual bar steward if you are working that late!!

Norwich to win that one2-0

palace to fight for there lives and put a half decent performance in 1-2 to arsenal. gayle with the goal.

[Guest]

If Olly does miss a last minute winner I suggest we all boycott McDonalds as a stand to our mate.

[mystiroakey]

I suggest everyone should boycott Mcdonalds whatever happens

[GSC]

Olly works at a chip shop

[GSC]

McDonalds after a night out is the best thing ever

[mystiroakey]

A chip shop.

That is acceptable..

[Guest]

A wet, greasy heavy kebab trumps anything.

[Guest]

A chip shop.

That is acceptable..

Casino's would be lost without our Olly.  

[mystiroakey]

Proper fry up . coffee by the bucket load.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

If I miss a last minute winner I might cry

[Guest]

Yeah black coffee is the ultimate hangover cure. I like your style Myst.

[mystiroakey]

No one likes soggy chips olly

[Dolphin Ziggler]

If I miss a last minute winner I might cry

I'd rather that than defeat. Talksport are convinced that Malky would take the Norwich job if offered. Cardiff win, Hughton sacked and Malky in?

Talksport. Talksport.

Cmon man

(If we lose tomorrow, I'm struggling to see Hughton staying for much longer, simply must win tomorrow)

You could do a lot worse

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I don't think it's imminent, but I agree with the feeling that Malky would leave for Norwich.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Sorry forgot to answer that part of the post lol

Yeah could see it. He can't be feeling great about the whole Moody thing at Cardiff pretty much undermined him, and he's a cult hero out this way, always said the one place he was looking forward to coming to when back in the Prem was Carra Rd. Love Big Malk

You ever had a kebab????
