As we are still on page 1 which will be easy to find at the end of the season perhaps we could put our predictions for the top 6. All the usual names I suppose but for me :-
Chelsea, ManU, Arsenal, ManC, Spuds, Liverpool.

My lottery predictions never worked either

Good news he's gone:

Are we still on the old or should we be on the new?

Anyway,

Arsenal managers since 1996 = 1
Spuds managers since 1996 = 15*

*including caretakers

Anyway,

Arsenal managers since 1996 = 1
Spuds managers since 1996 = 15 (looking for the 16th)

On that note...

Crap managers that Spurs have got rid of = 12. Should have kept 3 of them in that time.

Crap managers that Arsenal have got rid of = ... erm... scrap that, he's still there. How many trophies has he won again in those 18 years...(you know that's nearly 2 decades, right)?



Edit: This is why I was rooting for Liverpool this season's end. The team have proved that you don't need megabucks... just a good strong English foundation managed by an English manager of which players take on board his suggestions willingly. No front line news about smoking hippy crack or doing some prostitute behind the wife's back (or if you're Giggs, doing your brother's wife behind both his brother's and his own wife's back... *heave*, die slowly and painfully Giggsy - you deserve it). No 'selfies' on the pitch... etc.etc

Liverpool have set the standard this season as to how football should be played and managed. They've brought the 'Gentlemen' back into the sport.

Deserved winners they truly were. As it stands we have the immigrants of Man City to cheer...

The English Premier League...

I think you'll find that Brendan Rodgers is from Northern Ireland - mind you I'll agree that he's done a good job!!

Excuse me and thank you for pointing that out. He sounded English enough to me...

The teams also cost a few bob to assemble as well and I'm sure they'll be spending more in the summer. Don't expect the same tactics next year though.

[GLCQuantum]

I thought this was great...

Howard Webb, officiating Ledley King's testimonial on Monday, sneakily takes the ball off Holtby and passes it to the opposing team. When the ball gets played back to Howard Webb , Holtby wants it back... all in good fun.

Time to lock this one, and move to next season viewtopic.php?f=28&t=26832&p=344119#p344119
