The EPL thread

Quote of the year from the recently sacked Megson at Bolton:

http://football365.com/story/0,17033,8693_5812174,00.html

That ill-feeling continued right though to his last game in charge, against Hull on Tuesday night, when a controversial decision to replace goalscorer Ivan Klasnic was followed by an equalising goal from the visitors that ultimately proved to be the last milestone of Megson's time in charge.

Asked if he thought he could not win over the fans Megson replied: "Yes.

"I make the decision (to take off Klasnic) and it goes down like the Bismarck".

HA!!!  ;D

Busy time right now:

Twat Megson gone from Bolton and Paul Jewell favourite to take them down

Pompey issued with winding up order by Tax office

Sir Roy extends contract

(Paul Jewell? are these people insane?)

No real movements of any substance yet.  Patrick Viera to the Citizens is about the best that's going on at the moment.  (still to be confirmed)

3-0 down away to Stoke in the snow at HT.

Yay

Maxi Rodriguez to Liverpool and Dossena to Napoli I hear. Voronin's likely to go somewhere in the Bundesliga too.

No way this game should have gone ahead - I'll be surprised if it finishes the way this snow is belting down....

3-1 - shirts off in the snow

How anyone could get anywhere in this weather is beyond me - did they leave London yesterday?? 

 

[FFC Mariner]

Finished 3-2, a Dempsey wonder goal but too little too late after such a dreadful 1st half.

Oh and Chris Smalling will play for England in the not too distant future.

You might snicker but the club have slapped a 20mil tag on him and he is a mainstay of the U21's. Paul Parker was our last International defender who came up through the yoof ranks IIRC.

He went alright I remember

 

[Jaza_SFC]

Smalling was the one that was making Leijer his bitch in teh reserves.

I don't buy the hype around Zamora - 5 good months means f**k all. Clint Dempsey and Super Danny Murphy are the real stars of FFC.

was refering to the game as i am a potters fan

OK Stoke did what Stoke do well and we just didnt fancy it in the 1st half.

Most FFC fans would tend to agree with Jaza on Zamora, 1 purple patch does not a decent striker make.

Not to mention one f**kin brilliant aussie keeper.

[FFC Mariner]

Will piss Bouzanis off if he does though lol

Fulham v Portsmouth called off early (areas around the ground not safe)

No word on any other postponements yet

...making Federici more expensive than Maxi Rodriguez.

Go figure.
