[Archived] Premier League Happenings

Funny story in todays paper about Jason McAteer. Apparently he managed to lock himself outside his car with the keys inside. While he was pondering what to do a police car pulled over and the copper asked what the problem was - when McAteer explained the copper said " No problem son, go and get me a coat hanger ". McAteer goes away and comes back with a wooden coat hanger ! The copper says " Bloody Hell, what do you expect me to do with that ". McAteer says " I though you were going to smash the window ".

I'm not sure that story's true myself - I thought every scouser knew how to break into cars.

That's old. Neil Ruddock told that one on Soccer AM years back. Apparently McAteer's nickname was "Trigger" at Bolton, but when he moved to Liverpool, Rob Jones had the same nickname, so they called him "Dave" instead. I can't find the vid on Youtube anymore, though. There were a couple of other classics on there.

Watching Sherwood on the touchline, I can't help but think that he would have been our Souness 2013/14 Edition.

He demands from his players. I bet he'd kick a few up in the air if the weren't trying hard enough in training too.

Maybe Singh's head wasn't quite so loosely attached after all.

[DE.]

A lot easier when you have a squad of talented players Stuart. Coming to Rovers in our current situation would have been an entirely different scenario.

Hughes was only at Fulham for 11 months. For some reason, I thought he was there when they made the UEFA League final, losing and prior to that defeated Juventus in that 2 legged series. That must have been the next manager. Too short of a time at Fulham.

Phil Jones poor so far today

Eto'o made a fool of him for the goal

Been rushed back from injury so maybe not a surprise, he's kind of been thrown in the deep end.

[Ricky]

Audax, Fulham fans really didn't like Hughes at all. Really didn't do well there.

[Tom]

ETWO'O!

[John]

Didn't Fulham finish 8th under Hughes? Not bad...

Think the way he left them/resigned left most of their fans quite bitter.

[Roverthechimp]

What and to whom was Etoo screaming at amongst the Chelsea staff/players after his first goal?

[Tom]

Not sure but the bench were all laughing

Probably a bet the strikers have had

First Chelsea player to score a hat trick against United in 59 years... another record broken by Moyesy.

[Jock]

Suffer Moyes.

What goes around comes around

[K-Hod]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke than that w@nker after his support of Kean. Leaving Ewood at half time in protest at the 'vitriolic' abuse of Kean.

Bell-end.

He's like a ginger, Scottish, out of his depth version of Steve Kean... oh wait!

M***s O*t (censored due to seriously abusive language involved).

Happily Manu have made the wrong appointment, they should have gone for Jose, they are back with the also rans for good few years,

Jose would have had them top of the league, today shows it

[Amo]

I thought Moyes would be a good appointment... and I stand by that!

[Tom]

People will say that's not a red but he deserved it for me

It's a losers tackle he's sulking and gone in to kick him

United fans now pelting Chelsea players with objects

Rafael should be gone as well

United lost their heads

They don't like it up em do they

[Jock]

Moyes and his losing side can have a laugh in the changing rooms about how they have to play the refs as well.

Sorry, did you say play?

If football evens itself out eventually (as goes the cliché) it will be a long, long time before United get a significant refs decision in their favour.

'Moysey time' is fast becoming those moments following another defeat, when he sits alone on the changing room, long after his players have gone, with tears in his bloodshot eyes, cursing the skies: "For the love of Kean, why?"

Shame that.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

They never did. Get 'em under pressure and they'll crumble just like most teams.

I was referring to the "supporters" actually but the current team fits the bill as well

@bigadamsport: John Williams, former Blackburn chairman, born in Southampton, is a contender for chief exec role at #saintsfc - would be a top appointment
