[Archived] Premier League Happenings

[Gav]

Today being VE Day, I couldn't help thinking back to the 50th Anniversary night when Flowers played out of his skin to deny Newcastle. We effectively won the title that night to be assisted on the way the following weekend by Miclowsko. Keepers make all the difference!

Happy days!

I'm a terrible speller and would never pull anyone over spelling, but that attempt is pathetic Darren! But made me laugh I have to say.

Miklosko was his name (yes I had to google it)

[K-Hod]

My birthday today, needless to say my 11th in 1995 was memorable!

[M-K]

Sounds like you have been had

Your locals have a dingle look about them

And they call everyone 'my lover' round here. Men, women, strangers, relatives, makes no difference.

I could do with a cider right now.

[Rover_Shaun]

Ah the north. Cheap housing. Proper accents and 5 glorious national parks within easy driving distance.

Strong rumours that Sunday will be Fat Sams last game and he will get his 3rd straight potting.

[davulsukur]

The fans have never liked him but the owners knew they would be playing premier league football next season if they kept him.

Fans have been getting increasingly vocal, so looks like fan power might just win the day again.

West Ham need to be very careful in who they appoint next. Make a move for Moyes perhaps?

[West Yorks Rover]

Really? I'd bet there are a lot more Man Utd fans in Manchester (and Liverpool fans in Liverpool) than there are City fans.

Anyway, 2.5 million people in Greater Manchester, half a million in the city itself, and they can't get 60,000 to watch them all but clinch the title.

Edit: Here's an article about the 'blue Manchester' myth: http://therepublikofmancunia.com/attendances-manchester-united-vs-manchester-city-the-city-is-ours/

If you don't fancy reading that site (it's pretty red) then the summary is that United have had bigger attendances than City since before glory supporters existed - every year since 1947, including years when City won the league and when United were in the second division, and throughout the 1970s when City was the more successful club.

They'd struggle to fit 60,000 in, present capacity 47,805, I believe it will be around 61,000 when they have upgraded.

Think if WHU pot Allardyce, history will repeat itself and they'll go down.

Also reckon the same will happen at Swansea with a full season of Garry Monk.

Yeah just heard that too on Radio, relegation for the Hammers it is then.

Maybe they'll get 'Arry' in.

Strange appointment by Swansea. I just can't see it ending in anything other than a relegation battle.

coco, nailed on

Maybe they should do a swap then. Swansea will stay up and WHU with their awful following will be back to yo yoing.

I expect he'll be engineering that right now cos his humiliation will be complete and his position virtually untenable at QPR if with a wage bill almost double that of Atletico Madrid if they dont win the play offs.

It could also be the 3rd relegation for clubs that have sacked him.

Who would prefer BFS over GB?

[K-Hod]

In a heartbeat, as anyone with a brain would. Like BFS would come anywhere near us again though...

I think some of the following replies, from the usual suspects, might surprise you

[Tom]

Who would prefer BFS over GB?

Everyone surely?

[West Yorks Rover]

Well he'd have a ready made CF in Rudy, just up his street, definite promotion for me.

More chance of getting Steve Bean back though.

[yoda]

Everyone surely?

Don't call me surely,

just wait and see some of the replies about stability

Yeah but did he sign them all? Has he not been challenged telling some they are not needed? It's not easy having the highest wage bill, or the 2nd highest apparently. Cut him some slack, they also have a longer term master plan.

Big Sam back here? Play offs guaranteed and promotion a probability.

[47er]

Just needs the Raos to say "sorry Sam, we made a mistake, will you forgive us?" And we're away!

There's more chance of Glenn Miller landing in France this afternoon imo.

[Rover_Shaun]

Big Sam or Bowyer

Hanging or firing sqaud

I was thinking Andy Carroll may sink City tomorrow and do something right for Liverpool eventually - but I've just seen a picture of him supposedly out on the lash tonight!
