[Football] Leeds sack Javi Gracia - Allardyce appointed for last 4 matches

[Cowfold Seagull]

I’d like Stains to escape (not going to happen), and Leicester to go with Leeds and Everton.

Who goes down really doesn't bother me . . . just been nice these last few seasons to be able to look on it without any worry that it might be us!

What's Gus doing these days?

Still sliding down the helter Skelter till he reaches the glass floor

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Job for big Sam?

Too busy choosing which golf club to use nowadays l think.

Well the team he manages now get plenty of support . . . Greece.

I see Leeds are odds on to drop. I'm guessing we're supporting Leicester tonight, as they have a better chance of overtaking Leeds than Everton do?

We need them to have something to play for against spurs last day.

Also they are always an easy team to take points from so much better they stayed up and Leicester/Everton/forest joined soton.

 

[Springal]

They should never have sold Ben White - he'd have helped shore up their defence.

What happened to his replacement ? That German superstar

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

We need them to have something to play for against spurs last day.

Yes, for sure.

Very true.

Long May it continue.

It's possible they'll already be safe going into the last day. I don't think they'll already be relegated.

Also they are always an easy team to take points from so much better they stayed up and Leicester/Everton/forest joined soton.

Well I'll take that silver lining if they stay up.

Depends where you live. I have family and geographical reasons for wanting all three to stay up.

 

[Brok]

Hmmm... This all seems a bit OTT to me. I counted about 15 fans(?) there, most of them looked like they couldn't care less, either reading or with their phones in their faces.

Having said that, the kids there should at least got a wave or something. They are the future, after all.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

The archetypal Premier League footballer, where would they be without a hoodie, earphones, and a mobile phone?
[/QUOTE]

Wearing and/or listening into that lot, it's no wonder they don't even notice their long suffering fans.

So sad really.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

That’s just nasty…..

Horrible club, bang average players….

If the club had any decency they’d fine the lot of them….

Pathetic losers.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yeah, I got that, but if he backed Everton, he wouldn't want them to go down. He clearly doesn't back them.

I suppose so.

I didn't literally mean 'backs' as in 'puts money on them', or 'canvasses on their behalf'. Merely favours in a two header versus another team that isn't Liverpoo.

But no worries - I think you and I often have the same reaction to words and expression you feel don't map well to their intended purpose. Albeit....different words and expressions.

The Board are meeting to discuss this, this morning.

Following just one point from fifteen, conceding eighteen goals in the progress.

Worth noting that the DT is offering a three month subscription free on trial. Worth it for those who follow cricket in the summer.

It's a bit 'Tory' for me, but their sports coverage is very good.

Yep l feel the same, the Telegraph can be a good read in many respects, but l feel a tad guilty reading it with my centre left politics.

I don't wish ill to any of the clubs fighting relegation, except Leeds.

Indifferent on any 2 of the 3 that will go, but Leeds going after all the delusions of grandeur and Billy big bollox entitlement talk will be absolutely hilarious.

Please let it happen.

The thing is, imho The Telegraph is great for sport, travel, financial matters and personal finance, Ukraine coverage.

Genuinely I've never read an editorial in any paper in my life. I'm not interested in hacks or people who think they know more than us ramming their opinions down our throats. The difference in the Telegraph, from say the Mail/Mirror/Express, is that they don't surreptitiously try to influence readers in non-politics articles. I'm a floating voter and I don't give a monkeys what the papers say.

 

[Bombardier]

I don't have anything against Everton, they're a pretty big club but don't seem to have the entitled fans so many other big clubs do - presumably due to being in Liverpool's shadow. The only club I'd like to see relegated are Leeds, so I just want whatever results make that more likely

Yup, I know a few Evertonians. Decent people who strangely come from Liverpool. Still don’t want to see them drop but Leeds can drop Like a stone in water as far as I am concerned.
