Card him.

Well, I guess I will be rooting for Celtic after all. Damn.

Jack Colback, get used to it.

What the hell is up with Aston Villa?

Bradley never should have been hired at Swansea. He didn't deserve a shot at the job because Bradley's track record wasn't anything special. Actually, it was pretty poor and the football was turgid. I read what you wrote and it's absolute nonsense: 1) "Made the US a competitive outfit on the world stage." No, that was Bruce Arena. 2) "compare that achievement to what his replacement managed to do (tank the US completely) with a much better pool of players." 2) Klinsmann had a better pool of players because he went out and found them instead of relying on a pool of MLS dregs (My God, how long was he going to stick with Carlos Bocanegra? Carlos Bocanegra, team captain. Jesus Fucking Christ.). Klinsmann gave us 2014, the best year in US soccer history. Out of the Group of Death and into the last 16. All this bile for JK, you must be a Landycakes man. I agree about Marco Silva. The criticism was nonsensical. But do you seriously believe that managing the Chicago Fire or MetroStars is comparable to managing Sporting Lisbon or Olympiakos? I agree about Ryan Giggs too.

Kaizero, Did that 80% of US matches you watched include the 0-5 home loss to Mexico in the Gold Cup final? Just wondering. If Bradley had proved himself in the Ligue 1, Serie A, La Liga, Bundlesliga, the Championship, I could see it. MLS, Norway, and the French second division don't cut it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_men's_national_soccer_team_managers The football was much, much better under Klinsmann. Bradley's team was dreadful to watch.

What? Did you watch the USA under Bradley? We were fucking dreadful. Sure, the US qualified for the World Cup, but making it out of CONCACAF is no mean feat. Gifted a place in in the last 16 by England. Beat Algeria, (woo hoo!) Worst US side since Steve Sampson. What did he accomplish with Egypt? Some 2nd division French side? Horrible appointment by Swansea; they were right to run him out ASAP.

They're crazy. Great managers are hard to come by. Manchester United haven't come close to winning the title since Alex Ferguson left; they've qualified for the Champions League once. Maybe they'll finish fourth this year, but I doubt it.

Has Rafa played Mbemba in midfield? I like him, but I don't think Rafa rates him at all. Atsu in our midfield and Mbemba in the shop window works best.

Agree, we really lack pace in the team

(Didn't watch the whole thing.)

Textbook Poe's law.

Wow.

Wait, what?

Absolutely correct. Allardyce won't get anything out of him. Let Sam have the money he needs to "work his magic". Palace survive and Sunderland go down. I'm ok with that.

"They actually leave when we are winning as well sometimes."

Get rid.

John Carver?

... by the letter of the law...

No hatred for Palace, just for Pardew. I still hate Fat Sam, but anything he can do to help to relegate the mackems would be most appreciated.

Of course he'll get another Prem job. (He finished 5th remember.)
