*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

[Loony BoB]

You should be a football manager.

 

[TT Boy]

The prodigal son has returned (overweight and crocked, just as we sold him) but it’s nice to have Dunny back. Desperately needed someone in the midfield with an ounce of creativity and at least he can take a pen.

 

[TT Boy]

You should be a football manager.

If Scaly was a football manager he would be either Aidy Boothroyd or Mike Newell (maybe Big Ron?).

 

[Matteh]

Or dire like Carlton Palmer.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Watching Newcastle is always hilarious, but this game is extra-special.


Newcastle are completely dire, 2-0 down and get a goal from nowhere and it's 2-1 and the crowd and stuff are giving it their usual cheers and roars. Then seconds later they faff about, last defender trips someone over and he's sent off and Birmingham score from the free kick. Funny as hell.

Oh and I think you'd find I'd be nothing like most managers in the game because I'd be infinitely smarter than they are.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Heh @ what Geordies turned up streaming out of the stadium

Come on Birmingham, make it six.

 

[Craig]

Adams gone - thank God for that.

So who's going to replace him and where there talk about his future bbefore the lost to Bristol City in the FA Cup and the loss sealed his fate?

United offer Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in return for David Trezeguet and Raffaele Palladino



Fergie would be mad to do so. Meanwhile young Giuseppe Rossi has apparently joined Parma on loan

There's been talk for a few weeks - and at lease by him going now there's some of the transfer window left to buy some defenders (getting rid of 2 of our 4 centre halves when 1 of the others is injured then replacing them with a striker when we have 5 or 6 of those wasn't the smartest move IMO)

Eric Black been mentioned on the radio today - would love that personally.

Gary McAllister is another name I've heard.

Surprised C4 found it worth reporting on, personally. Must have been laughing to themselves as they made it sound as serious as possible.

 

[Craig]

So is C4 one of the few decent ones out there in terms of reporting about football?

 

[Loony BoB]

I would have thought that one of the leading channels for news in the UK would at least avoid tabloid reports without quotations.

Am I right in thinking they've both had the job before?

 

[marc71178]

Yes, they have actually - Black managed to get the sack the week after we won 6-1 at Gillingham, McAllister resigned because of his wife's cancer...

In one of the papers today someone pointed out the irony of the man who sold McSheffrey sacking his manager on the very same day that McSheffrey scores for Brum.

 

[Craig]

Anyway Lauren has joined Portsmouth on an undisclosed fee, a good move for them while West Ham have signed former Coventry and (now) Tottenham defender Calum Davenport. West Ham are still interested in Lucas Neill apparently, but will have to face opposition from Liverpool. Liverpool really could do with Neill and get rid of Sami Hyypia.

 

[Matteh]

I heard Liverpool were almost ready to give up on Neill because of his attitude.

Pompey clearly buying Arsenal piece by piece. Expect Sammy Nelson & Willie Young to be unveiled soon.

I read in The Guardian today Neill to yer Scousers was no-go now; he'd asked for way too much money. Also said Blackburn would sooner let he go on a free in the summer than let him go without a replacement. Link.

 

[aussie]

hey can anyone give me link to any site that has an updated list of january transfers around europe? Need it to get FIFA 07 up to date..

To be fair, the price for McSheffrey was more than he was worth - problem is Adams had that money but wasted it in all honesty.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Pompey sign Lauren from Arsenal.

Hell of a lot better signing than Djimi Traore. Can't wait to see him when I (hopefully) get down to Fratton Park on Saturday.
