pink_triangle Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 A warning for Holgate seems a sensible decision to me. I feel uncomfortable punishing people too severely for comments made as an idiotic teenager having been an idiotic teenager myself. I personally don't feel it should have merited an investigation. Ialso feel it was a bit underhand Liverpool fans trawling through his Twitter just to get dirt. Although for the sake of balance I'm sure there are sad fans at other clubs who would have done the same. Lesson to up and coming footballers. Don't use social media or get someone else to do it for you and make it as dull as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Not a great start for McLeish last night. Good to see 5 new starts but Costa Rica way more comfortable on the ball. Forgot they had the Madrid keeper. Robertson our top man again but little to cheer on or off the park. In the q 15 mins before KO in a half empty stadium and missed the first 10mins. They were actually opening extra turnstiles after the game had started. Away to Hungary next week then over to play Peru and Mexico. God knows who arranged these 4 fixtures. No chance of McLeish getting much of a new manager bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Tuchel to Arsenal looking more and more likely. Can't say I'm unhappy. Will be interesting to see how the situation with Sven Mislintat sorts itself out though. Would be lovely if Arsene could win Europa as a parting gift. If Tuchel is announced before the end of the season Arsene will get the highest level of support for the remainder of the year since he last won the league (which as a statement is crazy). Edit: Just read that it might not be Arsenal for Tuchel, so definitely not a done deal. Edited March 25, 2018 by mjsell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just read that it might not be Arsenal for Tuchel, so definitely not a done deal. Sounds interesting. The most reliable source in Germany (Kicker) came out and outright stated that he's definitely going to Arsenal and then straight afterwards other reliable sources came out saying he isn't (with one saying PSG are his favourites for Tuchel's next club). Article is still up on Kicker's website and from what I've read they're not the type to hang their hat on something and risk their reputation unless they're sure. I think it's as good as Arsenal could hope for tbh outside of maybe Jardim, and obviously it'll be good to have a change from Wenger if it does happen. Despite that, I'm still not sure I see it happening and can't picture anything other than Wenger still being in charge next season. Would be nice for Tuchel to go to Arsenal and Wenger to go to PSG and win the CL with them. Just read they've opened talks with Conte.

Think PSG might be after Antonio Conte? Interestingly, Italy have announced the date of which they plan to announce their new manager. Some time in May when the season is over.

Yep, mentioned in my last paragraph that they've supposedly opened talks with him. I had assumed he'd go back to Italy initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a bit of a managerial merry go round this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd consider Everton because of the Liverpool connection, but we'll see. If he goes into the window thinking we'll spend nothing it's hard to see him staying, but where else would he want to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Liverpool to Everton move would be a huge issue, especially with stops between. Several players have done it in the past. I think he lives in the Wirral and would get more to spend.

If a teams winning I don't think anyone really cares. Most rumours seem to point to Fonseca unless Abramovich, Usmanov and Moshiri start getting their assets frozen by the government then it will probably be Tony Pulis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hollywood stuff from Ibra. First ever LA derby, scored a worldie for his debut goal to make it 3-3 and then scored the winner in injury time. Miss him already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It now mainly consists of "Alardyce can do one, and take that little, red nosed gobshite with him". The hours in work fly by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
