    Does anyone get longer than a few months, whatever the results?
    What are Watford looking for in a manager? <confused>
    24 managers in the last 14 years.

    Most of those were stopgaps. The owners don't consider them as managers as such, they're head coaches.

    The team won despite of him, not thanks to him. He randomly took players off and misused players, he was incredibly uninspiring.

    They basically use the 'find an unknown that'll turn out great' principle like they do for young players, with the occasional dinosaur like Woy when fans are upset. It's a mess...

    One concerning stat for this season: 11 of the 20 Premier League clubs are sponsored by gambling companies

    I think it's a little lower than that. At least a couple of those were duplicates, including Gracia.
    It's quite amusing that the first one that they sacked has been more successful than them, though.
    The legendary Sean Dyche is also unemployed right now, too. Next? <whistle>

    Anthony Taylor says fans should stop expecting perfection from Premier League refs

    We don't want perfection. We want basic competence

    How can they be expected to get things right after multiple replays from almost unlimited angles?
    It's almost impossible. Well, not really impossible, more fairly easy. Wait, what was I saying?

    Arsenal have been given a suspended £500k fine for under-allocating tickets to Man Utd.
    This comes from the FA Cup game in January, which the filth lost on penalties to 10 men.
    How it's taken 9 months to work it out and do something, I don't know.

    Maccabi Tel Aviv's lovely travelling support has been banned from Villa Park ahead of their match

    Claims of Hamas tunnels under the Trinity Road stand in 3...2...

    Ah yes, that'll be because of those spontaneously combusting tram carriages in Amsterdam, won't it?

    Scrappy first half that but Forest could be 2 up. Got a last minute Chelsea winner all over it now...

    The standard from both teams is poor. I missed both goals so don't know if they were quality. Forest have lost a lot of chances with poor execution or decisions
