I dunno why but Premier League rings a bell, can't think why?
Enjoying watching mates eat their words as Guardiola has not conquered all as they predicted. It was always going to be his biggest challenge yet as Barca and Bayern are just awesome. Conte looks like a real Manager though and I am enjoying watching Ibrahimovic, hope he stays one more year. Leicester though oh dear but at the same time makes our title defence looke better now

How can his stock be anything other than shot to bits?
He took Boro to the UEFA cup final granted, but was lucky not to sacked along the way I seem to recall.

Steve Kean to be announced
Pressure seemed to be making him irrational of late imo.
They should delay any announcement until Wee Coyley's carrier pigeon arrives.

PAUL INCE LINKED WITH BORO ...HAHAHAHAAHA
Whose going to take him on?
a. He's useless.
and
b. when he's lost a record number of games on the spin and taken them even deeper into the relegation mire Gibson and Boro should they sack him will immediately be declared to be a racist by his chums in the press and media. Ince has never had a proper job since his gormless chums Oliver Holt and Darren Lewis inadvertently turned him into a managerial pariah.
Even the LT turned on that pratt Holt. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/3983762.The_worm_has_turned_over_race_row/

Remember Holt's comments on Ince which included a disgraceful dig at Jack Walker. Goes back to some nonsense in the 90's that Rovers had a "no black players" policy. Now Richard Brown might not have seen much first team action but he was still a squad member!
Lee Grooby had to delete a bunch of neo nazi messages on BRFCS at the time applauding the club for it. Obviously a coincidence as the club later signed Martin Dahlin and Nathan Blake amongst others. As if Dalglish would have tolerated such a policy look at how petty he was over Geoff Thomas.
Club should have responded with a complete and utter condemnation of Holt's remarks.

I didn't realise its 10 years since everton beat liverpoo.
Big Sams not out of the woods yet but he's gonna do it again by the looks of things. If ever I wanted him to fail it's with Palace, but lady luck had certainly erected a glass screen over their goal yesterday. Pity she didn't choose to take it to Brighton instead.
Just as an aside and given Sam's career developments following his sacking by the anderson / venky partnership I wonder how many BRFC fans are still of the opinion that he wasn't good enough for us? I can never forgive nor forget the vitriol that poured down on Allardyce when we were 3-0 up against our relegation rivals Wolves in the dying minutes of the match and after he'd obviously instructed the players to play keep ball and wind the clock down. Tactics used by most teams in that position I suggest and tactics we should have employed against Norwich and Preston in the last 4 weeks which would have seen us with 4 more precious points on the board. Not good enough for a number of the Ewood faithful though was/is it?
I must admit that whilst I forget stuff for fun these days I have a memory like an elephant for other things. I do still encounter some Allardyce haters in our local Sat tea time who I love to still stick the knife in and who when I mention him revert instantly to the appearance of a bulldog licking piss off a nettle! It's as if someone has substituted their beer for lemon juice! I'm a right barsteward cos I'll never let it drop and they know it. They couldn't understand his value to a club like ours and there is still this misplaced defiance and an unwillingness to accept that they were totally wrong about him and especially when every passing season see's him driving their opinions further down their throats.

Yeah I like to rub it in too but always with an element of bitterness as I can't shake the feeling that fan criticism of him encouraged and legitimised Venkys desire to sack him.
Maybe not, maybe they'd have done it anyway even if Sam had been held in universally high regard. But the point remains that it was the stupidest decision made by incredibly stupid owners and a good number of our fans supported it. Says a lot.
