We Go Again! The Premier League thread

[Hero]

First topic message reminder :

Last one went well...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Donny used to play some nice stuff, real mix it up but he would play on the floor. Might have changed after he fell with them though

I'd avoid saying his name in Bristol...that's all I'll say

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Yeah, things didnt go great there. But hes probably the best gaffer Donny have ever had.

[GSC]

O'Driscoll does coach nice football. But it tends to be nice for the point of being nice rather than for winning games.

[GSC]

Nigel Pearson sacked

[Nakatomi Plaza]

Always had a rocky relationship with the owners, but this looks like madness.

[westisbest]

Heard it was transfer related.

Didn't want to sign Okazaki, but the owners said they had to sign an asian player to raise the profile over there.

Part of the problem with these owners.

[GSC]

Apparently he had a strop over his sons sacking

[GSC]

Thats from Dorsett whos reasonable plugged in around these parts.

To be honest, he was a bit of a nutter who wouldn't have been worth the hassle for me. Can't praise him for the escape without acknowledging the amount of time they spent last

[Hammersmith harrier]

Apparently he had a strop over his sons sacking

Understandably so, his son comes before any football club.

[GSC]

I think most reasonable people would understand why his sons position was no longer tenable.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Got kids then have you?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He's really not worth the hassle he brings, they can do much better

[GSC]

I think you fall under the overprotective category if you have a major strop over a company wishing to sack your son off after a video emerges of him using racial slurs while having a gangbang on a company trip. In hindsight, he probably earned it.

Thats just me though

[Hammersmith harrier]

You're not talking from a position of any experience though are you so actually have a clue what you're talking about.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So why do any of us comment on professional football...

1-0, Oliver!

Have to agree with this.

Only themselves to Blame.

You'll understand when you're older

[Hammersmith harrier]

Personally don't think you can pass judgement on somebody's parenting when you yourself are not a parent but unsurprisingly the three who clearly don't have children are agreeing.

I might have children, Hammersmith, you never know.

[westisbest]

I have a 20 month old son.

I'll put it like this.

When my son goes on a school trip.
If he does/ says something wrong to the point of seriousness, to the point where the school expel him. Who should I blame?

NP's son did something wrong that is not acceptable, so the club kicked him out.

Don't blame them.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I think you're in a weak position there. If I spat in my boss' face I wouldnt expect my mother (who has worked there for 20 years) to be angry about my dismissal. Well not with anyone else but me.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Big Sam would love that job. Back in the Midlands, money and low expectations

[GSC]

Dyche the early favorite apparently

[Guest]

Followed by Neil Lennon

[Nakatomi Plaza]

Harry Redknapp in with a shout as well.

[NickisBHAFC]

Feel for Pearson, done a great job at Leciester, sacking is beyond harsh. 

Dyche is a superb manager, be great if he can stay in the Premiership.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So the new Norwich kit is half and half, except it isn't because there's a massive yellow box around the sponsors logo

It's really strange and crap

[westisbest]

on sky on a friday night, hmm.
Something new, thought that was  only for championship teams.

[Nakatomi Plaza]

I've read that the Villa-United game's been moved to a Friday on Police advice as the EDL are planning a march through Birmingham on August 15. United can't play on the Sunday because they'll have a Champions League qualifier midweek.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Pencil in 1:30pm on 30th August folks - the nodge are on the telly box

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Swansea to subsidise the price of all away tickets for their fans over £22. Cracking stuff

[compelling and rich]

looking forward to friday nights games, certainly away ones. as good a excuse i need to go pub

[Nakatomi Plaza]

Swansea to subsidise the price of all away tickets for their fans over £22. Cracking stuff

Hopefully the rest of the league follows the Swans example.

[NickisBHAFC]

Swansea to subsidise the price of all away tickets for their fans over £22. Cracking stuff

What a fantastic football club who care about the most important thing ... The fans! Hopefully more clubs can do the same. Away days are the best. Win, lose or draw it's a cracking day out!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Guardian think Ireland have allowed O'Neill to leave and go to Leicester (or at least are willing to let it happen)

[Fernando]

Ranieri appointed Leicester gaffer

[NickisBHAFC]

Funny appointment that.

[Guest]

Hugo Lloris fractures his wrist, doubt for the start of the season

[GSC]

Bit uninspired really. More of a name hire than any great substance

[Fernando]

Liverpool fans being investigated by Merseyside Police over Abuse on Twitter at Raheem Sterling & His Daughter

#StayClassyLiverpool

[GSC]

That clubs behaved like a teenage girl who just got dumped.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Know this isn't Prem but feel it should be discussed

Swindon Town have banned all media outlets from their press conferences, only releasing press from their press officer through an app.

If I was a supporter I'd be fuming - basically only get a propaganda machine

[Duty281]

It's the way sports journalism is going, unfortunately - Newcastle cracked down on the number of media outlets recently, I believe. There was an excellent article on the telegraph about the decline a few months ago:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/11553635/Aston-Villa-hero-Jack-Grealish-caught-up-in-sports-cold-war-after-midfielder-not-allowed-to-talk-after-FA-Cup-win.html

#StayClassyLiverpool

No different to how fans of other clubs have acted in the past, and as I, and many others, have said before...these people are not true fans. They are scum, and do not represent the true fan base.

[Duty281]

That clubs behaved like a teenage girl who just got dumped.

None more so than this poor chap, who appears to be infested with the very victim mentality and bitterness that is a pre-requisite, I presume, if one wants to support Liverpool:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/open-letter-raheem-sterling-liverpool-6054005

[GSC]

I haven't read such a pretentious, passive aggressive and deluded piece since Crimey last posted

[Duty281]

The Liverpool moderating team are after you now!

[GSC]

When did they stop?
