December In-game

[Pyppurs]

Literally sacked in the morning...It's a shame, 7 new players and doesn't even get half the season

 

[Toronto_Mike]

if this was after world cup, can see Spurs pushing for Klinsmann but for time being Laudraup is best choice, any chance perhaps Hiddink comes in? I know he loved Chelsea so not too sure how he'd be persuaded other than $$$$$.

 

[guaranteeed]

Klinsmann is a shitty coach who the Bayern players hating playing for, and the German players only listened to Low who did all the tactics , I don't know why people keep forgetting that

 

[guaranteeed]

the betting favorites right now are Capello and Laudrup, with De Boer in 3rd

 

[Toronto_Mike]

Laudraup is the man they should go for, was a very good player and is a very good coach. Lots of praise from the players about him and his man management skills. Consider the fact the big clubs wanted him too speaks volumes. Swansea to Spurs would be a much more better transition then Swansea to Real Madrid. Also think his style of play would suit the personnel Spurs currently have.

Not too sure about Capello…zzzzzzz

actually De Boer isn't 3rd fav its Glen Hoddle, Tim Sherwood, Hiddink, Pochettino before De Boer.

Think Bielsa as a long shot might be worth a stab

 

[GatorsLeafsBills]

Whats a good play. I finally tried to handicap some soccer and had the Bulgaria Premier Game to Draw at +210 and the fucking assholes scored 2 minutes in Extra time at the end of the game.

not that it's tied to anything but he was at the time

it's changed now
http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/tottenham/next-permanent-manager

Sherwood (head of development at Spurs) who is highly thought of within the club is the favorite now
Laudrup/Capello
Hoddle (which would include a backstaff with Hughton/Sir Les/Clive Allen etc.., basically if you were good for Spurs in the 90's come on down)

then further back Pochettino, De Boer, Hidding

 

[Toronto_Mike]

ah ok makes sense.
always sucks to have to hire midway through a season. It's not like they are in a relegation dogfight but the pressure of maintaining stability is crucial.

 

[guaranteeed]

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Pyppurs]

 

[guaranteeed]

Doing that is a death wish

 

[braves]

Ridiculous pass from Negredo.

 

[~Utah]

 

[braves]

[hugh613]

 

[Monger]

What an OG by Kompany. Adebayor having himself a day vs the Saints.

 

[Toronto_Mike]

Spurs did the job, had a feeling this was the game they would get back in.

 

[Pyppurs]

Messi would be proud of that Kompany chip

 

[Monger]

Barca down 2-0 to Getafe 14' in.

 

[braves]

comedy of errors in everton game

 

[Pyppurs]

Barca down 2-0 to Getafe 14' in.

Final 5-2 Barca, lol

 

[Monger]

Yeah went downhill from there for Getafe.

Chelsea team just looks better on paper

Chelsea team just looks better on paper

Don't really understand what Mourinho has against Mata and Luiz though.

 

[ghillbilly]

Luiz can only play in midfield he's crazy in defence

 

[ghillbilly]

I think the "special" one is thinking Lampard would get back and help more than Mata

 

[Pyppurs]

Resting their legs for the bigger fixtures

 

[Pyppurs]

Jose Mourinho has never lost against Arsene Wenger as an opposition manager. (W5 D4 L0) Juan Mata has scored in each of his four starts against Arsenal in all competitions for Chelsea.

?

 

[ghillbilly]

I just hope the players are up for this one as the weather is really bad, my roof is leaking which is a lovely Christmas present.

 

[ghillbilly]

Mata has never played against Arsenal with Negative Jose though has he?

 

[ghillbilly]

Bit puzzled by Rosicky playing but must be playing well.

 

[hugh613]

It always blows my mind that London can support so many football clubs...

 

[ghillbilly]

Not much to do in London these days apart from getting stabbed.

Distract them with a football

[ghillbilly]

Both scored in the game

Well, I know that. You just read about people wondering if the GTA can support a 2nd hockey team, meanwhile London's got Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Fulham, West Ham, and Crystal Palace just in the top flight alone.

 

[Pyppurs]

Toronto could probably support 3, with another in Hamilton...but you know how the NHL works

 

[hugh613]

I saw a story on CBC the other night about plans to build an NHL size arena in one of the burbs to try and land a team. I think it was in Markham?

 

[Pyppurs]

it was shot down because of the huge amount of public funding they wanted. no stadium should use more than 20% public funds, if any.

 

[ghillbilly]

Unless you're Real Madrid..................

 

[hugh613]

Well, I'm just happy we're getting an NASL team next season. Nice looking kits, although they still haven't made a decision (I'm hoping for the ones on the right).

 

[ghillbilly]

All pretty nice

 

[ghillbilly]

Ball flying off the pitch

 

[ghillbilly]

Arsenal stuck in 2nd gear
