2016/17 Premier League & General Football Discussion

[MUSC4EVER]

Swansea haven't been the same ever since they sacked Laudrup.

We haven't been the same since Rodgers, since he went in 2012 we have had four managers, Laudrup, Monk, Curtis and now Guidolin.

Celtic Development Squad had a surprise appearance today against Hearts, Karamoko Dembele. The 13 year old is the youngest ever player to represent Celtic at the Under 20s level.

His skills speak volumes about his talent.

Is the Football League doing the Premier League's dirty work?

4th October - Paul Trollope (Cardiff City, sacked) Championship

Sackings: 5
Resignations: 1

Total: 6

Out of the big four clubs cymraeg, only Wrexham still have their manager. Newport, Swansea and Cardiff have all shown the axe over the pat week. Don't be surprised if Gary Mills does go though, fans very unhappy at the moment.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Yeah they properly got it in for Mills here, he is under a bit of pressure, pretty much everyone want him gone, the win at Boreham Wood was better but a tough game at home to Lincoln tonight.

Swansea Supporters Trust are fuming at the handling of Guidolin and appointment of Bradley, the trust own 21% of the club and we promised by the American investors that they would be consulted and told of club news, they weren't consulted on this, they thought Guidolin's sacking was harsh and don't like Bradley's appointment, they have been on Talksport today saying don't be surprised if Giggs takes over by Christmas, this is not a good start by the new American owners!.

And I thought that Callum Styles was extremely young when he played in a League One match, at the age of 16! Donnarumma also.

 

[Vegard]

I didn't know Matteo Darmian played in goal.

Replaced by Warnock? Criminy.

 

[Liquid]

Warnock

Cardiff fans were aching for him. From the few I have spoken to, they like his 'old school' attitude and to be fair his record isn't bad.

I asked them if they would take Dave Jones back and they all said "good football but such a sour lemon", something I'm sure you yourself could agree with.

 

[88GTA]

I didn't know Matteo Darmian played in goal.

He looks a lot older now:

And was recently valued at $190.5 Mil.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Joey Barton issued with notice of complaint by the SPFL for making bets, he made 44 bets between 1st July and 15th September, he is currently serving a three weeks suspension by his club Rangers for a training ground bust up with a team-mate.

 

[Famine]

One for @Liquid - Shrewsbury's Micky Mellon has resigned to take charge at non-League Tranmere...

That's a strange one, I have to be honest. Mellon's done a decent enough job with the Slop and it's a big step down to take over a non-league club in with frothing fans. They wanted Nigel Adkins.

6th October - Mickey Mellon (Shrewsbury Town, resigned - leaves for Tranmere Rovers) League One

Sackings: 4
Resignations: 3

Total: 7

 

[adamp93]

That's not a sacking is it, @Liquid?

Corrected. 👍

 

[Famine]

Derby have just confirmed that Nigel Pearson has left by mutual consent.

 

[Liquid]

I wish...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

International break over!

Steve McLaren is back at Derby....

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Three Bookmakers stop taking bets on Antonio Conte getting the sack as Chelsea boss, they know something we don't??

 

[Dennisch]

FIFA will vote for a possible 48!! countries 2026 World Cup in January.
Just imagine the amount of **** the groupstages will produce.

All for the love of football money.

 

[Brend]

'Silly Season' already?

I hope PSG have £25,000,000 at least because they won't get talks otherwise. He's on a 4 year contract so definitely wouldn't be cheap. Going so soon would defeat the purpose of Dembele coming to Celtic - to develop.

FIFA have long lamented how strong the European teams are. They want to give more places to the African and Asian teams.

 

[Akmuq]

Wow.

 

[Brend]

Wow.

Wow, I can't believe that case was still ongoing. Here's hoping it was the correct verdict and he can get on with his career now.

 

[Akmuq]

Wow, I can't believe that case was still ongoing. Here's hoping it was the correct verdict and he can get on with his career now.

Unanimous verdict as well, 12-0. But I still believe that there is no way of proving either guilt or innocence due to the lack of evidence, a shambles that he was found guilty in the first place though, IMO.

I think Africa has potential, but Asia is maxed out, Apart from Japan, Australia, South Korea and possibly China or Iran the other teams are never going to get past the group stage even on the best form imaginable.

 

[Liquid]

Wow.

Wow, I can't believe that case was still ongoing. Here's hoping it was the correct verdict and he can get on with his career now.

He's contracted to Chesterfield, having already played and scored for them this season, so I imagine he'll most likely be concentrating on that now.

Wonder how Sheffield United and Oldham fans will react to this. There were borderline riots when he trained with them upon his initial release.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Here are the games for this weekend.

Saturday
Arsenal v Swansea
Bournemouth v Hull
Chelsea v Leicester (12.30 Sky)
Crystal Palace v West Ham (5.30 BT)
Man City v Everton
Stoke v Sunderland
West Brom v Tottenham

Sunday
Middlesbrough v Watford (1.30 Sky)
Southampton v Burnley (4pm Sky)

Monday Night
Liverpool v Man United (8pm Sky)

Some big games at both ends of the table, a bit surprised that the City-Everton games isn't televised, no idea what to expect on Monday night!

 

[lxmmy]

Frank De Boer is proving quite unpopular at Inter already by supposedly falling out with Brozovic and Perisic and sitting in 9th. Plus, losing two games in their group of the Europa.

Possibility of a sacking by January?
