    Agreed you could tell straight away last year he's a top coach. Kinda wish we went for him tbh, very much reminds me of Poch when he first came here.

    They deserve some stability too, because they've been through loads of managers recently. Silva does look like the real deal.

    He plays the high press very well. His teams have great structure and attitude and he makes subs early if it isnt going well. Considering hes been playing with kabasele and mariappa for half the games and hes had to keep changing the back 4 hes done brilliantly.

    They were like 3/1 to finish top half of the table. I got them to win the league on a +40 point handicap (same as burnley) at 15s

    What do you think of joses park the bus tactics against an abject Liverpool side missing their best winger and having 5 clowns in goal and defence?

    Yeah agreed. I think one of the big boys will snap him up in the next couple of season if he continues along this route.

    They should do. Can't see it happening until year after though.

    Conte most likely to be sacked atm - trigger happy roman but he will only go after a big name
    Wenger wont leave before his contract is up and even then he will probs sign an extension
    Poch wont ever leave til poached
    Jose wont be sacked this season
    Pep wont be sacked either
    Klopp i think is still pretty popular with scousers and fsg arent spending so will be happy with him.

    At most maybe everton but they arent a big club

    Yeah agree, next couple of seasons.

    He could replace Wenger if the timing is right. I don't think Wenger will continue after this contract. And agree about Conte, Roman will get itchy trigger finger and blast him out of Stamford Bridge

    The defence did OK today though, ****ers need to turn up every game not just big ones.

    Mkhitaryan is awful, rather play Mata there but once Zlatan is back thats where he play just behind Lukaku.

  18. No ****ing way are you going to be permitted to get away with brushing it off like that, Pix!

    That was a gutless performance, led by a clueless manager, whom you not only put your faith in, but through your blind and unerring support over the past few pointless seasons has led to the practical dismemberment of your once-thriving board.

    Sorry, mate, but you are a complete failure, in every sense of that word.

  19. They would be far more credible in the CL than Arsenal ever were.

    And that is no exaggeration, lads.
