Lambert appointed Stoke gaffer

 

 

Strange appointment considering his record.

[PaddockLad 17075]

3rd or 4th choice??   Turned down by MoN and Bilic. 

 

Pardew similar at WBA. Managers getting sacked without the club's having  much of a clue what to do next it would seem...

[Dr Gloom 21809]

Hopefully that’s stoke, Swansea and West Brom down.

Aye I saw that yesterday and never realised he was his nephew.

There was an interview with Brian Deane too, that was pretty emotional.  Not one bad word or joke said about the man, says a lot about him.

At least Giggs will have the Wales players well motivated.

 

 

[Alex 34821]

Seen that before

I genuinely don’t think I’ve wanted something to fail more than I have him at Wales. And I include every single Sunderland manager and every endeavour my ex-girlfriends ever attempt in that.

I thought his TV persona might be him trying to be neutral and he couldn't be as bland day to day but looks like he is. Him and Scholes should definitely stick to the odd football club reunion and enjoy retirement.

That is horrendously bad

[wykikitoon 19877]

Hope he falls flat on his face

Can someone explain to me the reason behind players being cup tied?

I can, but i wont as you'll just disagree with me 

[PaddockLad 17075]

It's was to stop a team getting to say a semi final then signing three or four (in theory better than what they have) players in order to win the cup. Fairly irrelevent nowadays tbh

I’d imagine it must’ve been irrelevant for the last fifty years. Though obviously more recently due to the transfer windows. Seems pointless nowadays. Particularly in European competition.

[Alex 34821]

Linked with Shola next

[Dr Gloom 21809]

crouch wouldn't be a bad shout for us till the end of the season if he's going like. apparently a good lad to have around the dressing room too 

[ewerk 30238]

He has started pretty much every match lately hasn't he? He may agitate for a move to Chelsea but not to us.

Also, how many players have we paid a fee for over the age of thirty under Ashley? Daryl Murphy is the only one who comes to mind.

[Dr Gloom 21809]

has he? i didn't realise that. presumed he he was still their super sub as i don't recall him starting against us

[ewerk 30238]

He played the full 90.
