It's a managers' graveyard. Look at Conte,just won the Italian League with Napoli, kicked ahrt of Spurs. Pochetino kicked ahrt for not winning a trophy, Ange kicked ahrt after winning the first trophy for 17 years and getting them into the so-called champions league. Frank is either brave or mad.
I reckon he'll be back at Brentford within 2 years, but only if they choose a new gaffer now who doesn't work out for them. If I was a manager I know which Club I'd prefer to look after.
Damn. I've missed the beginning of the so-called world club championship. Al Ahly 0 Inter Miami 0. Riveting stuff.
Just what we like to see, competitive Club football of the highest quality https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq85844qwyjo No ammunition at all for the naysayers claiming this competition is a joke...
Not me I'm afraid. I recall having a red shirt, white shorts & red socks (all unbranded) to kick a ball about in the park when I was about seven. We were not a wealthy family. A guy I used to sit next to at the Valley has a dozen replica shirts, but none of them can hide his huge beer gut. Doubtless they'll be gushing about this on you-know-where. I remember unbridled ecstasy there when it was revealed we were getting new hexagonal goal netting about 10 years ago.
Ex Rangers player John Brown says a refereeing decision against his Club was "corrupt" on their TV channel. Then repeated it when the host said he wasn't sure they could say that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5yqyl8yep9o Now Rangers deny they have broken any rules. Do they think their pundits can accuse match officials of corruption and everyone should just let that go? They should know better than that. It wasn't incompetence or stupidity that was claimed. It was corruption. Deliberate and illegal bias. If pundits start slinging accusations like that around every weekend, anarchy will follow.
Marmalade vs Bonjella in the Club World Cup was attended by six blokes and a dog It's really going well... And Tonight it's Man City vs Casablanca I kid you not. "Of all the footie grounds in all the world, she walks into mine..."
Top match day ticket price at Old Trafford to rise from £66 to £97 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c628r3gz49mo They used to have a reputation for keenly priced tickets. Not anymore.
Man City fined £1m by the Premier League for time-wasting https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c628d92wnr9o
Player 'Walk-ons' at the FIFA Club World Cup https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdx5r85yng9o Players walk out onto the pitch one at a time Even if each player is allowed only 20 seconds to himself, it'll take around 8 minutes for them all to get onto the pitch. What next? Individual fanfares and theme tunes for each player? Imagine that in the Premier League, on a freezing day in January. The first player on will be standing around for ages.
