Pulis.

Well, his teams have never been relegated.

Chris Samba. He also likes biscuits.

Part of becoming a big league is fucking over the people that care in favor of the people with the most money. Then why are the Bills still around? I understand the politics behind it. NY/NJ has difficulty supporting one MLS team as it is, whereas Orlando already has the infrastructure and support in place. I'd be fine if they both ascended, taking us up to 21. But I have a feeling Orlando will be put on the back-burner, especially if they opt to continue with the Cosmos as well.

Orlando City just got fucked over big time. A real shame tbh.

"Alan Pardew - second longest serving manager in the Premier League" Stability.

I blame Mike. It'll for sure be his favorite MLS team too.

Giggs to the GIGGSth degree.

I agree with what you've said here, but I don't think Benitez's past with Liverpool would prevent him from going to Everton. It didn't prevent him from going to Chelsea (yes, I know Chelsea and Everton have different relationships to Liverpool). But I think it's more likely he won't go to Everton due to their lack of funding than anything. Newcastle is absolutely his best choice if he wants to stay in the PL. Arguably the most to work with already and an owner who has shown a willingness to spend in the transfer market. Benitez coming here would depend on Ashley's willingness to pay him/give him the kind of autonomy he wants.

Generally the wealthy clubs tbf Aye, correlation isn't causation I suppose.

I also like how 5 teams actually improved the season after qualifying for Europe.

Pulis truly is a wizard, to prevent Stoke from falling into the relegation zone during such a long, arduous slog through Europe.

Who was it wanted Carlton Cole here?

"Nokia is shit"

Behind the scenes of what?

Well I agree with that sentiment. I suppose I was thinking of football fans more generally.

Bored of the media selling him ALREADY ffs, the game was yesterday. It's not that people necessarily think they should, rather that they think they will. Because what else is new? The top clubs poaching the best players off smaller clubs is pretty much a fact of the business these days.

Lukaku is and will be the better player, imo.

Great, here come the jackals. A "storied club" I meant to say, before I'm castigated. What does storied mean? Celebrated, legendary, having a great history, etc.

His recovery speed is good enough to mask his weaknesses, and Naughton isn't a bad backup. You don't need a standout fullback to win the title if the rest of the team is playing well enough.

Shame they saved that kit for the Championship. Loads better than the crap they wore this year.

We do lack real leaders on this team at the moment.
