haha atleast Spurs can still say they're in the premier league, we're just slowly going in the championship with like 15 injuries

It can always be worse, man.

It wasn't the shocking decision made out. Agree with Daz, anywhere else on the pitch it would have been given as a foul. It's a clumsy challenge but I can see why it was given especially if you look at the positioning of the referee.

Good to see Norwich win I must say, hopefully alleviates some of the pressure off Hughton. I was watching Soccer Saturday's piece on Norwich and they had a season ticket holder saying had they lost then then fans would have really turned on Hughton? Sure there might have been boos (heard some at half time) but surely not majorly bad considering Hughton's performance last season?

Jol is in big trouble if he loses another game IMO and loses it badly. His defence is games against United, Liverpool are already lost but have to perform with some resilience.

Oh you have no idea sir. There are some absolute prats filling carrow road. the drivel i had to listen to behind me on saturday was a joke. hughton has been attacked for anything and everything from a vocal minority of norwich fans. they claim he doesn't know what he's doing tactically, that he's lost the dressing room, that his back room staff are useless etc. etc. he's been booed during games for making reasonable substitutions i.e. hoolahan getting taken off after playing a 35 yard pass to the corner flag against villa last season). when we win, it was a players revolt against his tactics and decision or the other team wasn't trying. when we lose, hughton's head is on the chopping block. there's a silly little hysteria among certain sects of supporters, supporters who actually wanted us to lose against man city and west ham so he'd get sacked, that just can't give the man any credit and throw out useless stats to support their theories. its utter nonsense. last year, snodgrass was one of our best players. this season, he's started very poorly and been on a bad patch of form, but apparently it's hughton's fault for playing a winger on the wrong wing ... never mind the fact that's where he played last season and before he even came to norwich.

Fulham hire Rene Meulensteen as 'Head Coach' to work alongside Jol which to me screams... Meulensteen replaces Jol at the end of the season.

I can't remember which one it was, but Meulensteen was the GOAT assistant manager on FM 2011 or 2012.

My phone just tried to change Meulensteen to Menstruation.

He's been an incredible coach on FM for a while now and he shouldn't even be out of the United job but Moyes wanted all his own staff and then he got screwed over at Anzhi Makhachkala.

It's also worth noting that another coach that has worked under Mourinho is now moving into a mangers job.

Be worried Martin Jol. The owner, Shahid Khan aka Ron Jeremy, knows if Rene does well and helps the team then he can keep Jol but if not Rene comes in.

I was gutted when Rene left United, really felt Moyes could have tried to integrate him but Moyes is very hands on with coaching and Rene and him didn't hit off. He'll do well for Fulham as number two but don't think he'd succeed as a number one though.

Really hate the international break.

Portugal vs. Sweden the big tie on Friday. Ronaldo vs. Ibrahimovic. Which one do you want to see at the WC?

For me, Ronaldo. His presence would be missed as would his Portugal team that has some talented players. Besides Zlatan with Sweden, I can't think of anyone else that I'd miss besides the man himself.

He isn't playing Sweden still is he?! Hasn't he retired?

He did have an awesome beard I must say. Must have been a right bitch to have if I ever I had that beard of that length.

Pirlo's is probably the best and Tim Howard's is a cheap imitation.

He used to play for Villa, he has an epic beard and had a fight with Freddie Ljungberg.

Legend.
