The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[Colly]

Thought I'd have a glance at the betting and there's nowt for Spurs yet, although AVB is 16/1 for the West Brom job. Jol is favourite which surprised me.

[Benji]

Oh, Spurs I like AVB, I hope he gets another shot in the Prem rather than going elsewhere.

[lanky316]

Don't worry, apparently Hoddle has been talked about as getting Spurs through the season. Which means we can look forward to seeing him play Lennon at centre back and wondering why the defence appear to struggle in the air.

[Nerf]

Also, Spurs forums are going wild that Capello is favourite

[Plubby]

About the only silver lining here is the disrespect shown to Liverpool. "You lost to WHO?! OUT WITH YOU!"

[Lineker]

I don't know who I'd want. Maybe Laudrup?

I'm just shocked. AVB has been shafted.

[Jimmy]

I hate the lack of loyalty shown to managers, it's one of the reasons I hate Chelsea. We give time to players but no respect for someone who lead us to an all time high points total.

[Rich]

I vote for Sol Campbell

[Benji]

May as well go the whole Chelsea, get RDM in to replace AVB, win 2 trophies and still sack him too.

I wish managers were locked in to season long contracts.

There's no shame in that. We've been battering the small teams for two years now.

*strokes beard*

[Matt]

Fucking stupid but sadly not unexpected. I'm not sure what a new manager is going to do and who is worth getting? Laudrup possibly but I'm not convinced he'd want to leave.

[Benji]

That comment went over my head

EDIT: Re: Plubby.

[Plubby]

Bringing in RDM to win a bunch of trophies raises my interest

[Crybaby Bunting]

1102: FOOTBALL Harry Redknapp has called on Tottenham to be patient with Andre Villas-Boas..."You lose a couple of games now and you're in trouble, it shouldn't be like that... I'm sure Villas-Boas will pull through it, if you give him time they will come back....'

1105: BREAKING NEWS Andre Villas-Boas leaves his post as Spurs manager.

[stokeriño]

Technically the Chelsea route wasn't so much to "get RDM in" - he was already in. We promoted him from assistant manager.

...So Steffen Freund then?

[brenchill]

'Arry's coming back, isn't he?

[Lineker]

Arbeit!!

The Nerf decision-making Flow Chart (minor first-world tragedies edition):

Situation: Someone has had something horrible happen to them and it's a little funny/ironic!

Q: Do they receive a paycheque from Liverpool?

Yes: THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!!

No: THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

[Nerf]

Like I said on Twitter, the millions he'll get in compensation is simply heartbreaking.

I wasn't sad when Mowbray was sacked at Boro, and he's practically family, why would I care about Mourinhole Lite?
