He's tactically sound but he's as dull as dishwater, hence why he's achieved so little.

Plenty people tweeting him to stop and get some rest, a lot of well wishers out there. He should sort this out using the correct channels, not giving the Sunday rags their story.

Trial by social media. a lot of what is said on Twitter is said in the pubs around the city, does that validate it more?

The Nike Total 90 ball was the absolute peak of footballs back in 2004. Serious business when someone brought that into school.

It's dumb, but I don't think Bardsley would expect Rooney to go down from a jab.

There's no reason whatsoever that he has to mention interest from other clubs. How many other managers do that? Just say Perez is doing better this season than we anticipated, and leave it at that.

Not as consistent as Janmaat though.

Was his debut as well, although non competitive.

Saying there's no pressure will create a relaxed environment with this bunch of players. Not a great thing to say.

Smith looked ok before that leg break against Liverpool. Not great but useful. That injury pretty much finished him in the top flight, so naturally we come along with a long term deal and £60k per week on the table.

Been in England a couple years and didn't play much in his last season here, he's still getting upto speed and having to re-adapt to Serie A. Wrong to have let him go but he was the only one of our left backs we could sell so naturally he had to go.. Doesn't seem to register with those idiots that he was our best left back. Haidara should have been sent out on loan tbh.

Few turned after relegation, and many have swallowed the shit they've fed us in the years since. I think it'd take the club looking like it was going to go bust for people to get truly pissed off at them enough to form a strong protest.

Have they only just started working on his strength?

There is, but even saying openly that we don't want to compete in the cups wasn't enough to land these pricks in hot water.

Even with a great run from now until the end of the season, I wouldn't give him the job. Caretaker managers turned full time never works and this guy won't be the exception.

I know, he hadn't even played that well for the last 5 years.

Read that Ashley still has 2 votes but it's not likely Llambias will return.

People used to say Lee Cattermole wasn't "that kind of lad".

I've heard it called a terroritial thing.

Embarrassing from Scholes to call it a reflex to spit. Turn your head away from your opponent on the ground and do it, unless Evans is a simpleton? He knew what he was doing.

Minimum fee release clauses eliminate the potential for a bidding war though. For Burnley, keeping him despite his contract situation, was the best shot at staying in the league and the TV money far outweighs a paltry bid for their star striker.

Evans will be under instructions from his club to deny it to avoid a ban.

Besides, marking Di Maria out of a game isn't exactly a huge achievement these days.

Why wouldn't it be acceptable?
