Pullis sacked by West Brom. Short term I think they might regret it, even though he's a boring ****.

Brom's current squad is dour and mediocre at best. Sacking a manager who's also really dour, but actually reasonably effective at getting the best out of players who have very little flair or talent doesn't strike me as an especially wise decision. No doubting that Pulis is an utter **** though, so difficult to feel too bad for him.

So good. Classic example of a twerp who can dish it out but can't take it.
Shame to see serious journos like Henry Winter coming to the bloke's defence though.

It's dour and mediocre because Pulis has had his hands on it for 3 years. And given that West Brom only have 2 wins from their last 21 games then his selling point isn't exactly true anymore either.
He's an exceptionally bad manager, with Stoke and West Brom his teams average less than a goal a game and half of the goals his teams do score come from set pieces. It's easy to see why fans would quickly lose patience with that once results take a turn for the worse.

Yeah, don't disagree.
Brom have always been pretty dour though tbf. Going all the way back to the Megson days at least.
I think it's partly to do with the kit. Just such a drab strip. Looks especially bad in the winter, like the life has been sucked out of everything and everyone around it.

Ah yes, tweeting that you don't rate Arsenal's squad certainly warrants death threats in reply. Certainly a case of dishing but not taking it.

Liverpuddle still providing a bit of comedy with their defending even when leading 3-0. It could be part of a cunning plan to not win the group so they can avoid Real Madrid in the first knockout stage.

I think that means with cannabis. Klopp is an imposter. If he was English he would have been sacked by now.

Klopp gets a lot of things right. He clearly gets the best out of his attacking players and gets his teams to score goals by virtue of the system and interplay rather than stocking up the biggest name players. He also knows how to get results against the top teams on a fairly regular basis. If he happens to stumble upon a decent defence/goalie and a system to keep them relatively tight at the back, they'll be a great team.
