Fat Sam is another one...i dont get the collective hate I like listening to his interviews...funny guy
Easy to say that when you know he'll never rock up at your gaff. I still can't believe people wanted him here ffs... must feel a bit silly now.
Tbh the real turds are Steve Mclaren and Mark Hughes. Those two really are pants. Big Sam: keeps teams up - that is a real skill and clubs keep using him because he more or less guarantees them premiership football and the money it brings. Pulis: Is a solid Prem level manager who again usually keeps teams up. Having said that I don't particularly like the guy or his football. Warnock: Is an excellent football league manager. A little stretched at Prem league level but he hasn't had much to play with with Cardiff. McLaren: Had some success a while back but has been absolutely useless for 10 years really fouling clubs up. Plus he's a total helmet. Hughes: Never been any good really. Gets worse every appointment.
I personally can't stand either, but Pulis gets results, Warnock generally fails to. Big Sam, given time, will turn his pragmatic 'don't lose' football into 'try and win' football, as he did at Bolton (Anelka, Djorkaeff, Campo & Okocha were great to watch).
Shot. Not like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan though. More like Die Hard where I carry on and defeat a whole international organised crime gang single-handedly, with a bullet in the shoulder. I have the vest
Only if he gets a cut of their transfer fees. Allegedly. Allardyce is old school in a lot of ways and he should be treated as such. Redknapp was very good for us, but I wouldn't let either of them anywhere near a transfer budget.
I've had both happen to me. Shot by a bb gun and stabbed with a pencil... Neither were a big deal. Now if you're talking about knife vs gunshot that's a different story... I'm not sure... Depends where I'm hit. Face: knife. Arm or leg: gun.
tbh I find that a bit unfair, (not that I didn't use it to bash Old Twitchy while at the spuds) as they could really only spend what the finance guy gave them to spend. I very much doubt Harry Redknapp did all the legal and finance parts of the deals when the club has it's own accountants and lawyers, wtf else is their for them to do?
It's who they do the deals with, though. It's no coincidence that a lot of managers buy the same players repeatedly or from the same agents. Some of that is familiarity and dependability, but some of it definitely isn't. Mourinho seemed to be collecting Raiola clients at one point.
When I was a kid I played in a match where the striker ran onto a through ball as the keeper slid out. The ball hit a bump just as the striker swung his foot and he missed the ball but hit the keeper full in the face with a sickening thud. The ball landed by the keepers knees and in the scramble the prone keeper got booted full power in the bollocks with a kind of squelching sound. There was blood, teeth, mud, tears and puke everywhere. once we all realised how serious it was the was a deathly hush only broken by the soft wimpering high pitched groans of the keeper as he walked (well, I say walked but it was of an upright foetal shuffle) from the pitch. I would rather have that happen to me as my own personal ground hog day than have either of those two ****nuts manage my spurs!
He's the second best manager I've seen at Sunderland in my lifetime. I loved his time at the club, he'd turned us around and we were playing really good football and then the FA came calling and we got Moyes as replacement. We are only just starting to recover from that. ****ing hate Moyes
