The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Colly]

I just find impulsive Jose to be a twat. If he's won a game or is generally in a good mood he's quite likeable, if not he ends up coming off worse in an exchange where all Fat Sam (who I detest) has to say is 'well, he's talking shite'. Calling a fellow manager 'a specialist in failure' is unprofessional however you try to justify it.

[Baddar]

He's just stating facts.

Plus, Wenger won't see it. He never sees anything.

[DavidMarrio]

I preferred Jose the first time when he was in the prem compared to this time around. According to him (even though it was on sky) we are the title favourites now. Seems the past couple of weeks he's been talking about every other team or manager in some way shape or form whether it be 19th century football, little horses and others being a failure. Least he hasn't went on a fact rant as an attempt of mind games...

"Everything I say and do is mind games."

- actual Mourinho quote

[DavidMarrio]

Think it's just cause it's all I've seen over the past few weeks. It's either some comment from Mourinho or David Moyes going on about not having any luck that it's starting to wind me up a bit. That and Rodgers changing his mind every game whether we are in the title race or if we are just challenging for 4th.

That's because we somehow keep jumping back in the title race even after all our fuck ups.

Fulham have apparently appointed Felix Magath as manager.

[FLiam]

Out of the blue. Strange decision.

[FLiam]

No mention of Rene in statement.

He's told Radio 5 that the owners have hit the panic button.

They haven't just hit it, they've smashed it.

[DavidMarrio]

The Fulham players are gonna be in for a shock...Magath has a bit of a reputation cause of his discipline and training methods.

[Liam]

.....just confused.

What's Magath like in terms of discipline and training?

[ZJ Penn]

Magath's probably in for a shock too...Fulham have a reputation for being absolutely terrible.

[brenchill]

During his time in charge of Fulham, Muelensteen won more games than Lambert.

[Chris2K]

These sackings don't shock me like they used to.

What does shock me is that apparently Magath is the first ever German to manage in the Premier League.

[GoGo Yubari]

.....just confused.

What's Magath like in terms of discipline and training?

Here are some fun facts about what he's apparently like.

[Colly]

I'm pretending Meulensteen is still there and they're just stacking them all on top of Ray Wilkins.

[brenchill]

He's won league titles and cups with Bayern and kept a bunch of teams in the Bundersliga. I'm sure he's a good manager but I can't help but think he's arriving too late to make much difference.

[Liam]

If he gets the team going, those games that are could wins become wins perhaps. Roll of the dice, but what is there to lose?

[Mad Jack]

Nice swerve by Fulham to not make Curbs manager.

[brenchill]

I wanted a Keegan return!
