Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Still trading on his work at Huddersfield I guess. And he did a good job there.

Since then though he's won just 55 out of 226 games, at 4 clubs. :shock:

Awesome amateur football videos # 3182 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41802645 In short - Padiham are 3-1 down to Widnes in the 92nd minute. They get one back after a defensive gaffe, then Widnes are through on goal from kick off, only for their shot to be cleared off the line and into the keep...

Re: Weekend Football

Winston Biscuit Most league goals by an Englishman this century:

1. Rickie Lambert - 219
2. Wayne Rooney - 201
3. Jamie Cureton - 199
4. Billy Sharp - 197


ooh, good stat that - where's it from?

Hadn't realised Cureton had left Daggers. He's at Farnborough Town this season, still going at 42. :shock:

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Real 'big five' emerging in Italy, where Roma have won 8 and lost 2 of their first 10 games, yet find themselves only 5th and 7 points off the lead (Napoli, 10 wins and a draw). Fiorentina are 8 points behind Roma, in 7th place, having played a game more. A thrashing 5-1 for Benevento at home to Laz...

Don't disagree, and I know that 'name' players aren't necessarily the key to success, as we've seen, but still, it's no Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, is it? :(

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

I just can't get my head around the Leicester thing. Clearly Shakespeare had support in the dressing room - it was that politics that ultimately did for Ranieri. So you look at Leicester's results this season, and they have lost 4 times. To Arsenal, United, Chelsea and Liverpool. Not title winning f...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Tbf they went bankrupt and had to start again in 2005, and have achieved back to back promotions from Serie C to get to where they are now. Didn't stop them sacking the manager who did that for them after just 9 games in the top flight. :roll:

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

So Benevento have made a horrific start to their first campaign in Serie A. And then last night they were awarded and scored a penalty at Cagliari in the 94th minute. A point? Finally? The scorer is mobbed by his whole team and the subs. And then Cagliari go straight down the other end and score a 9...

Re: West Haha Ham

Probably said elsewhere, but the distance from the pitch of the stands is mental. Must be fully 20 yards from the touchline to the stands at the side. More behind the goals.

Re: Youtube - Football related spare thread

this penalty has everything http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41728826 I might (probably) have this wrong, but I thought in a shoot-out that as soon as the ball was 'off-target', it was dead, specifically that this goal shouldn't stand. In the same way for example, I thought if the shot hits the po...

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

Winston Biscuit Can't even remember the last time Liverpool had a good centre back pairing


Hyppia and Henchoz, I guess.

I'm a big fan of Klopp, but he's let Skrtel and Sakho leave who are to my mind better than their current options.

Re: LOLiverpooLOL - Next Season

I love Klopp, and hope he avoids the sack for ten more years, but he has got to stop pissing about with defence. Taking the centre-half off today was the worst thing he could have done: he can't do anything with Lovren now. Was there no bit of advice he could have given at half-time, instead? Hmm, ...

Re: In or Out?

Well, that's a low bar. Many, many fans think Stam's style is also awful. I'm not in the Stam Out brigade by the way, but I have been getting frustrated with how poor the football has been, and have been imploring him to change it. Big improvement on Saturday, so let's hope that continues. But unti...

Yes. The football is infinitely better than most of what we watched under Adkins, Brian (second time around), and Clarke.
