***Official*** English Football Season 2019-20

haha Souness is just dour.

Still occasionally amusing though

Keane's hyperbole is just short of it becoming a parody of himself. It's the way he looks at the other panelists and host like he wants to kill them whenever they dare to laugh a little that makes his contributions especially enjoyable. He'll say something that is harsh, but delivered in an almost staccato way that would seem like a joke if it was said by anyone else. It makes the others laugh nervously as if he is trying to throw in a bit of humour, and then they realise the error of their ways when they realise he was deadly serious.

He's not deadly serious, he's just committed to not breaking kayfabe.

That poor bastard.

Keane can be ok tbf. The Neville interview he did in Ireland a few weeks ago which was over 2 hours long was pretty entertaining. He was genuinely warm and amusing and the punters loved it....

However yep their is a but,,,some pretty crappy comments aimed at Walters a reminder why he should never be allowed near management ever again.

Yeah, that was an entertaining show thing. A lot of the audience felt like suck-ups though

 

[Furball]

Souness is more miserable imo. Keane has a biting sense of humour that Souness lacks.

Souness is a magnificent bastard though.

Decent evening that....

Not for Spurs...

I'm not sure either Arsenal or Liverpool will be happy with that draw. Obviously both being amongst the best sides in the tournament (and indeed the country) doesn't help, but there could be extra imperative to play more first teamers than otherwise because of the risk of the opposition doing so.

 

[Niall]

You can see why Rochdale are struggling this year when they can't even beat that shower of shite tonight.

Probably should praise the agent of Pereira, how he got the Brazilian Cleverly a juicy contract is a mystery. A nothing player personified.

I doubt either side cares much quite honestly

Nothing in it but LOL at anyone who thinks Wenger would not be a million levels above Ole as coach. The taunt "he won't win anything" would cut deeper if you ignore how little United have won since Fergie left.

be a superb short term manager at least.

 

[sledger]

Wenger would be a massive upgrade on Ole, but he's not a long term solution, not least because of his age. Not a bad shout if they want someone to restore to Utd to a "on the brink of becoming challengers" again sort of level with a view to handing over to someone who can really take them forward from there though.

 

[sledger]

I wouldn't even hate it tbh. Just love him too much to not support him in whatever he does.

 

[Uppercut]

Dunno. Ole's squad building and team selection are OK, but it's already clear that he can't coach combination play and is unlikely to dramatically improve our young players. Wenger can coach combination play, but by the end of his time at Arsenal their young players were stalling really badly. He also made far more baffling decisions than Ole does.

I guess we'd be about the same quality but slightly more fun? When Arsenal lost Wenger they stayed about the same quality but became slightly less fun.

 

[Furball]

Wish I'd posted this when I originally thought it last week - is it just me or does Pochettino now carry the air of someone who maybe regrets not leaving Spurs in the summer?

Part of what Ferguson such a great manager was being able to rebuild constantly, it definitely feels like Spurs have reached the end of a cycle. They were quietly ****ing shocking at times last season.

 

[vcs]

Not sure why Wenger would want to take on what is clearly an incredibly difficult job at his age. It would have to be a root and branch overhaul.

 

[Furball]

I know we're a few weeks in but does anyone fancy a fantasy league?

 

[sledger]

I know we're a few weeks in but does anyone fancy a fantasy league?

Yeah I'd be in.

 

[andmark]

I'd be tempted.

 

[vcs]

What happens to goalkeepers when they face Liverpool? So many blunders that they've profited from in recent times.
