:DNot very well worded by me! Bielsa in till the summer just with the U21s and then he could take over the first team in the Championship - apparently that's what he suggested doing at Everton.
Would be nice if the conversation could stay on-topic - there are enough threads for the other transgender/equal rights discussions.
Maybe Saints should try to restart next season with Bielsa?
I think Grimsby have got more than a fighting chance. Saints have to concentrate on the league, their fans hate their own manager and they're playing like a Championship side. Just a shame for Grimsby fans that it's not a weekend game - wonder how many they'll bring?
Long article in French sports paper L'Èquipe yesterday about why our fans love Tony Bloom - unfortunately behind a paywall - but we're definitely gaining a lot of attention outside the UK.
Wouldn't be surprised ikf he goes this week but the problem for Saints is that they have probably missed the boat of getting an experienced and talented coach like Wolves or Villa did. Not sure who they could turn to?
So, we're pretty much halfway through the season and the table has taken shape. My question to you is - who would you like to see go down?
I've gone for Everton (hysterical fans/Dyche), Leeds (Marsch is annoying but not as annoying as their fans) and Bournemouth (tinpot club doing a Portsmouth...
He's a world-class swearer in both languages if you watch the clips. Doing a brilliant job at Reims - keep this up and he will be in the EPL within the next twelve months.
Superbly written obituary by Alexis Petridis in The Guardian as much about the band as Verlaine himself.

The lead singer of seminal punk band Television has died. Marquee Moon was one of the finest debut albums of all time but they never quite built on that early success. Saw the band a...
I saw this front page on Twitter last night and presumed it was a fake. What has happened to the Telegraph? It has become so appalling it's beyond parody.
If he refuses to train/play, I would hope the club acts accordingly - fine him and take him out of the first-team squad. Definitely do not sell him until the summer whatever the offer. He can sit on his sofa for six months for all I care. He's 21 years old FFS - why does he need to force a move...
Maybe I have the wrong image of him but I can't imagine him fitting with the vegan, eco-friendly club that is Forest Green.
Will be intrigiung to see how he gets on.
Ouattara mainly went to Bournemouth because plucky's new chairman has just bought a minority stake in Lorient.
Can you imagine being Zaniolo's agent?
Agent "So, we've received a bid for a permanent transfer from the Premier League."
Player "Great. Is it Spurs or Chelsea?" "
Agent "No...
