Todays' games 2017/18

Ironic that Conte is sacked and Mourinho stays

 

Jose is the wrong manager for Utd.
With the players they have they should be set up to be far more attacking.
Buying that selfish ****er Sanchez was a huge mistake.
Rashford should go somewhere like spurs and rip the league up.

 

Totally agree. It’s interesting how quickly Mourinho has become Yesterday’s Man. He is too negative. I think it was Keown around the time of kick-off that said that Jose is more concerned with what his opposition is going to do than his own team. I would suppose that if your mindset is built around reaction then you’re never going to major on attacking football.

Mourinho has been left way behind by Guardiola... even also by the likes of Eddie Howe down the road at Bournemouth.

 

This is weird.

Little Michael Petrasso appears to stroke Zlatan's arse and gets a slap round the head for being so familiar. Then they both need a lie down.

 

So am I correct in thinking that we have the play off final closely followed by the Champions League final on 26.5.18?

 

Correct. I thought this a little strange and I don't remember it happening before.

 

Thanks. Why not do the FA Cup in the morning?!

 

Wet Spam have signed a decent manager.
For his sake, hope the owners back him with investment.

'He is a winner': West Ham confirm Pellegrini on £5m-per-year deal as Sullivan hails arrival of Man City's title-winning boss

Manuel Pellegrini has this morning been unveiled as the new manager of West Ham - posing with the club's shirt (left) and shaking hands with co-owner David Sullivan (right). The former Real Madrid and Manchester City manager has signed a three-year contract, worth £5million a season, after leaving the Chinese Super League club Hebei China Fortune.

 

What technical reason did the ref give for handing Petrasso a yellow? Arse fondling?

 

Having watched it again, it looks like he treads on Zlatan's foot (an old trick), which is what provokes the reaction. I don't think the arse-fondling was deemed to be an offense.

 

That was my first reaction too. No reason for Zlatan to hit him like that. Never liked him since he scored that incredibly good but lucky goal against England.

 

You're right, Strolls. Hence Zlat crumpled up in "pain".

Arse-fondling on the pitch may not be an offence, but I'd prefer that the practice didn't catch on...

 

Which one?

 

I’d rather have my arse fondled by Petrasso than have Vinnie Jones make stress balls out of my knackers.

 

His right foot.

 

Watching Wales v South Africa from Washington DC. Truly dire first half but livening up a bit.

Very high error rate. If England hadn’t been so awful recently (including an incredibly poor showing against the Barbarians) I would expect them to beat these Springboks with ease, if this is their normal standard.

How many concussions does George North have to have before he’s told to stop playing?

17 all now, and South Africa improving, very aggressive in the ruck and set pieces, as always.

Very ugly game though.

 

Watched the 20 minutes either side if half time and it was bloody awful.....played in a 3/4 empty stadium.....why do they bother?

 

was hoping to see Smythe get some time in Northern Ireland's game against Costa Rica. Disappointed he wasn't used. But what is shocking is Washington can't even get into their squad

 

Reading a piece in the Sunday Times yesterday, Washington along with several others were given a break from playing the Internationals as Michael O'Neill the manager thought they would benefit from being given time off..........
