Fantasy Premier League 2014/15 - Svein best coach in da league
ponsaelius replied to LRD's topic in Football
36 Mate in my league got 14 mind -
He's a billion times better than Riviere as his track record when we signed him told us. I'm actually delighted he did well today even though its probably totally fucked us.
-
If I could have picked any of our hopeless cunts to save Pardew single handedly today it would have been him, so fair play.

The amount of people that go to the game as simply part of their day out makes this impossible. A good 60% are just not arsed in the slightest, they'll go for their meal afterwards and that's it. The 2 goals and ending on a 'high' makes it an enjoyable Saturday afternoon for them. These people saying "Ashley is the problem, not Pardew" don't even mean it. They just couldn't give a fuck. If it was an Ashley out protest they wouldn't bother either. Club is fucked. Hate to say it but its true. Ashley's got a perfect scenario he can keep milking forever more.

Almost feel like that tweet from Ryder should slot into my sig

steve wraith @stevewraith · 3h Protests simply don't work at Newcastle United. I should know. I was asked by NUST committee member and MAOC leader Graeme Cansdale steve wraith @stevewraith · 3h to pose as a vicar on the infamous funeral and all it did was bring more ridicule to our our fan base and publicise a well known sports brand crease

They've absolutely took the piss out of us with this deal, our money is firing them to promotion while the CB we signed isn't even getting a game.

Zlatko Zahovic's son just scored for Maribor

Hattrick for Brahimi
-
Brahimi looks brilliant for Porto. Sure VI was bigging him up.
-
One for Tooj as Barca are playing Sergi Samper today. Ter Stegen's debut as well.
-
Absolutely floored by this. Love you Jonas.
-
That was the absolute typical Liverpool European jam
-
It's like Nickelback wrote it
-
He plugs a hole I guess, makes up the numbers
-
Bloke's been on 5 minutes and he's spoken more sense than Crumpy
-
Neville is fucking clueless IMO. You only realise it when he starts cracking on about your own team.
-
Good post mate, welcome aboard.
-
Simeone for me
-
Loads might do it without publicizing it? Would go against the mantra that all footballers are scum though.

Arguing with people from work about football

Absolutely falling apart laughing at this, face is hurting. It's brilliant that video. Hilarious and heartwarming.

I would never have thought Ashley would have spent the last 4 years since promotion buying players from France and Holland before we started doing it. It used to be a running forum joke that'd we'd only sign the quintessential British-based plodders because our contacts were so poor ("LOL we'll probably sign Carlton Cole" etc). It's not totally beyond the realms of possibility that if he realises a decent coach will mean inflating values of the imported players then we could actually think outside of the box for a manager like we did for players (not that it was particularly groundbreaking stuff, but neither would be appointing a good coach).
-
A lot of the good appointments over the last few years have been promising young managers on the up and involved thinking outside of the box. Martinez, Rodgers, Pocchetino etc. This is what I don't understand about the "there's nobody available" argument. What people mean is they can only think of about 5 managers currently out of a job who are usually on the British manager merry-go-round. Who knew about Rodgers when he was coaching Chelsea's reserves or Pocchetino when he was at Espanyol? Few I'd imagine. There's got to be literally hundreds of coaches/managers working with less resources, on less money who'd kill for a PL job. The Premier League is a cash bonanza because of the TV money, even at a club with tightarse cunt owner like ours gets more freedom on transfers and wages than many clubs across Europe and in the lower leagues. Other than the Russian Premier League, PSG and the top 2 in Spain most of Europe is running on a net transfer profit. There's an argument that we need somebody with experience in the PL already to steady the ship but I'm not sure. I just want somebody who has coaching ability, a vision and a personality to back it up. Poyet kept the mackems up after they gave the rest of the league an 8 game head start, any decent twat could keep us up imo.
