The Football.....

Bit quiet in here.

Nobody trumpets a false dawn quite so much (after three straight defeats) as a plastic Man U "supporter" when they win a single game. United's recent record, if I may remind you, is one in four. You remind me of that naive and easily led "New Arsenal fan" character played by John Thomson on the Fast Show in the 1990s.

Bit like the trolls who come out when we have a shite week. I can enjoy this weekend after a crap week and some awful games to watch. And as for your personal comments about me go fark yourself sunshine.

 

[CanucksTraveller]

I didn't make any personal comments, I just said you remind me of that character.

Could Bilic be the first premiership manager casualty of the season? Another bad result for them.

I don't think he'll be the first, but unless things pick up the pressure will start to mount. It's going to be a very long season

I think you will be okay, there are enough teams worse than you, Hull, Middlesborough, Sunderland, Burnley and possibly Stoke should all finish below West Ham.

West Ham looked just like Sunderland to me.

Epic fail. At least his record will be up there with the best managers of all time.

Ha ha! What a prikk.

He's never managed a good team, and now he'll never manage a crap team again, if the FA/powers that be have got any sense.

yeah...well...

 

[potsy]

He'll be fine, a grovelling apology and a slap on the wrist, the FA won't want the embarrassment of sacking him after one game.

 

[Smokin Joe]

The FA have summoned him to Wembley "To discuss his future".

I think we can take it from that that he doesn't have one.

 

[Roadhump]

From the BBC News, if I heard it correctly, he hasn't actually broken any rules and even said he would have to seek the FA's approval for proposed activities / trips, but what is likely to do for him is the comment that you can get round the prohibition on third party ownership of players.

I wonder how big a can of worms this could open up. He will surely have to explain how he knows such rules can be circumvented, was he speaking glibly, or from experience? If experience, was he a participant, or has he knowledge of the dirty dealings of others? Might there be a few twitchy bums amongst agents, managers and even sleeping 3rd party owners tonight, or am I being a bit too premature in anticipating more sensation?

Mad Eyes Pearson suspended - wonder if there is a connection or just the piss poor performances? 7 managers was a tweet have been had by the Telegraph. I mean is any of this a surprise?!
