  1. Then administration and points deduction?
  2. I don't think there's any point in England training for Penalties. They're not going to get to that stage.
  3. Don't think it's good enough for him to leave us and join them.
  4. Oh it's plausible, but why would you suggest it in an open forum? Some nightmares are best kept to yourself.
  5. Because he's expensive to employ and expensive to get rid of. Moyes would need to bring a Championship club up to manage in the top flight again, I reckon. What is wrong with you?
  6. Will either of them get another Premier League job? Maybe one of the promoted sides might panic and give Allardyce 12 games to save their season, but I can't see anyone going for Mr Moyestivator, even in desperation.
  7. He got them to the heady heights of 17th, with a remarkable 39pts, no team relying more on Long Balls, 1 team playing fewer short passes (WBA), 31% of their points came from draws, only Villa relied more on draws for points. I wonder, if we'd brought Benitez in a couple of games earlier and stayed up (not even necessarily at their expense), would he still be a Wearside hero?
  8. fucking hell. Worst that happens over here is some virgin shouts down a FanTV camera, or a Father For Justice unsuccessfully tries to plant a corner flag. Europe is weird, probably for the best we're leaving. Aye I can't imagine they'll be in a hurry to get back for pre-season training.
  9. You've got this Strawb. Worry for whoever follows this with a moan about Wednesday being a bit shit because the person they don't like at the office is chairing an afternoon meeting or something...
  10. They're 3rd in their league and are in the Cup Final. Wonder what's sparked the violence?
  11. Playing a dynamic midfield of Smith Butt and Geremi, iirc They faced 6 of the eventual top 7 teams in Koeman's 9 games in charge. Even if that poor form had carried on throughout the entire season they would have stayed up. Had they got in Silva they may well have finished lower than they did, but the football would have been better and they wouldn't be looking to replace their manager again. £9m they reckon he got for those 6 months... Probably wouldn't have spent £27m on Tosun in January as well.
  12. I have. It is. Apparently West Ham, Everton and Newcastle fans are deluded for wanting more than Premier League survival though.
  13. You have to be watching his movement off screen though, that's where the magic happens.
  14. Putting himself about a bit, getting onto crosses from the excellent Sessegnon, bullying Championship centre backs.
  15. Plus the players we've been linked with during Benitez' spell in charge; Jorgensen, Bas Dost, etc. Basically I think he wants a Demba Ba, type of player. There's loads of them knocking about on the cheap, right?
  16. Apparently he wasn't a long ball manager with them. And he's only got that reputation from his Bolton days. Or he was a Long Ball manager but that's only because of the team he inherited, y'see he's a manager that will play whatever style gets the best out of his team and you'll see that at Everton... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/everton-talking-to-allardyce-again.1405288/
  17. Yeah probably. Bloody foreign managers stopping young British managers getting good jobs, etc. etc.
  18. Bet every time the phone goes he's hoping it's Moshiri giving him the boot. Even when he was being interviewed about his future it was clear he couldn't give a toss about keeping the Everton job. Be interesting to see who they replace him with, might they try and tempt Dyche or Howe? I think the latter would be a very good appointment for them and a good step for him. I think he's taken Bournemouth as far as he can and if he could improve Everton and perhaps win them a cup or something then an even bigger job might be open to him, a job that at the moment he's unlikely to be considered for.
  19. We're doing bits and pieces in the new house to put our own stamp on it after moving in. Mrs Fish goes off to visit her sister and I paint the 2nd bedroom the specific shade/tone/colour of white she's picked out and tested. Now, I'm painting over a really subtle orange colour. Maybe Spanish Cream or Spanish Cream Half on the Dulux chart https://www.dulux.com.au/colour/all-colours. I use one of those One coat tins and do the lot while she's out. First time I've ever painted a room and I have to admit I think I've done a pretty good job. "It still doesn't look white", so rather than argue I do another coat. "This wall still doesn't look white, are you sure you've used enough paint?" I begin doing a 3rd coat then realise the reason there's still one wall which looks like it might have a slight orange hue, is because the sun is reflecting through the window off the neighbours fucking red brick wall. Close the blinds and voylah, it's as white as a Jim Davidson audience. Then, over dinner, "Do you think the white is too cold for that bedroom?"
