The Bonk

These two have sent me into giggle fits. "Films" Even Beck's looks disinterested with him. The Upshot took it easy on Owen, that could have been much worse.

I'm aligned with him having more about him than Gerrard or Lampard, though. If Parker checked his ego and spent some time developing under a heralded manager like Howe did, probably do wonders for his career.

Klopp when he goes pure radge, teeth grinding you to a pulp. the pyshco.

had to see Marraçelona for himself.

Fair enough, he's had some exposure and learning there, but it seems like a dramatic climb in a short span of time which has shown evidence in his dealing with off the pitch business. Howe and Potter wouldn't make the PR mistakes Parker has made, but they probably don't have the ego Parker does. As a figure head of those promotions he's gained notoriety, but how much was due to the coaching staffs, players he inherited? I think Brugge were idiotic in thinking Parker actually had the pedigree to push them on in Europe or domestically. I don't blame Parker for having a crack at the redemption arc. I also have a bias against Parker from his time here and thought he was overrated in what he brought on the pitch. For the most part, he was a model pro, played to the best of his ability. Always felt like he was too good for us, but maybe that was the media. In short, I don't like him.

He's failed spectacularly at Brugge, which you left out and has seemingly developed a heightened sense of self off of his work with Fulham and Bournemouth. Parker's pursuit of Barbour model status is unquestionable, but he's done nothing to earn any of the roles he was given. His managerial career has been handed to him rather than earned like a Potter or Howe. He's just less of a prick than Stevie G and Lamps. He's taken a mighty humbling the last 6 months. Will have to take a gig at a mid table Championship Club as the bigger ones down there wouldn't risk it with him.

Zola, Shevchenko, Di Canio, Balotelli? 2 of those were one season wonders. All I can think of who had any effectiveness.

Can't believe you forgot about Nobby's: https://www.premierleague.com/video/single/1871656 (Goal of the day against the Scouse Mackems)

If you couldn't love the guy more. Special talent, player and human. We are lucky to have him!

Tried watching, but the quality of football is even worse than watching Leipzig get humped.

Phillips coming on, completely forgot about him.

Well, them and Chelsea.

Deary me, still 30min to play. Feel for the away support.....not like you can just drive home.

Did Savage just blame the keeper on that last one?

You’re better than this, mate.

Dyche, keeping PFM alive and well.

He's 18, came off the bench in the A-League and has had some good moments for Hearts in the time they've afforded him. I'm not sure what good looks like for him? Seems decent to me that he's getting minutes in a top league close to his parent club.

$41USD in the Oil Sands here (Canada). That is ridiculous on the Saudi end.

It's Jonathan David time, baby.

Aye, would love that as well, see some tears flowing like we felt under Ashley. Muwahahahaha!!! I’ll take fears of tears in this order: 1. West Ham (so salty, so delicious) 2. Leeds (I am still bitter of them humiliating us under Bielsa) 3. Everton (Won’t happen under Dyche, but Scouse Mackems fewm…. ???‍?) 4. Leicester (Quite the fall from regular top10 finishes) 5. Forest (because they bought so many players and are horrible away)

Palace look worse than Leicester, yet 3 points up on them. Hope the last day of the season has some real drama for the drop. Have a few teams in the mix to go down.

19 shots, 8 on target, 8 blocked (Wolves pretty good at clogging up shooting lanes), 3 big chances, 2 missed.

Wolves are so jammy, gutty win by the boys. Glad to beat these.

Whew! A win, baby!
