Other Games 22/23

[The Fish 10857]

Everton SsssssssUCK 

I genuinely can't see where the next win is coming from, even if they do replace Lampard.

[Dr Gloom 21921]

They never should have sacked Rafa 

[The Fish 10857]

Brighton and Man City aside, they've played a slew of relegation candidates in the last 7 league games and lost them all. To get to 36pts they're going to need to get more than a point a game, and given their 2nd half of the season, I can't really see that happening.

Any other team and I'd say they were down, but Everton always seem to jam it from somewhere. It would be funny if they went down for nothing else than the period of mourning from blue scousers and the pundits who think certain teams are owed success because the were quite good in the 80's etc.

Who is on Football Thread starter duty?

[Dr Gloom 21921]

ah, I'm quite moved here!

I do think though that it might need somebody in a more positive frame of mind than me at the moment. two legged semi final with no ticket for either of the fuckers! I've spiralled in to a deep depression and i'm sulking worse than  a 3 year old who's been denied a carton at the tescos pick 'n' mix section!

I reckon @Ayatollah Hermione should take up the reins. if you pulled off a queue number of 450 in that madness this morning your luck really is on the up!

Thing is, the other teams look like they've got more about them to get themselves out of trouble. 

 

Not sure sacking Lampard is going to fix a lot of the problems, but, then again getting shot of Bruce improved us, and FFL is just the contemporary version of that fat mess, so I dunno.

Can’t believe you now don’t want us to win

the footballing gods are clearly smiling on the ayatollah though, if he refuses to take up the responsibility handed to him from above in the next few hours I'll do it.

expect it though to be a sombre offering!

[PaddockLad 17257]

Think I’d go for Rooney…

 

 

[thebrokendoll 9207]

fuck's sake he's not even online! 

[Alex 35079]

Expect Leighton Baines to be announced by the end of the week 👍🏻

[Dr Gloom 21921]

Less a shortlist, more of a shitlist

 

[The Fish 10857]

Whoever they get in, it's going to take a while to unpick the knot, right?

 

There are two people on that list who could organise a team and that are feasible; Dyche and Bielsa. Either of them would take a while to organise the team, and they're stylistically polar opposites. 

[Craig 6682]

Their best hope IMO is Bielsa. At least he understands uniting a squad and from what's being reported, they're fucking ferral.

[Dougle 3329]

[Gemmill 44872]

Big Sam will absolutely be expecting the call. 

[wykikitoon 20137]

Dyche would do that.  Bielsa will want to work with 12 players and sit on a bucket.

 

@thebrokendollstart the thread young lad. Otherwise if we lose you're in for pelters. 

[PaddockLad 17257]

If they go for a Rooney / Ferguson double act the match day toxicity may be lessened, which would be a start…. “unite the fan base” etc etc
