Arteta dark arts

I almost got scalded at Regents Park by the hot water from the showers after a tricky away fixture against BDO back in the noughties but I don't recall making a complaint. They need to toughen up.

If that was intentional A+. Hope the next one will be fireworks in front of the visiting team's hotel.

"Senor Perez, we strongly recommend the Travel Lodge at Finsbury Park, modestly priced and a short bus ride from the ground. You'll have to step over a few crack heads on the walk down there if you decide to save on the bus fares."

It wasn't intentional, just municipal run facilities from the 1970s that nobody cared about.

Has a manager ever been sacked twice in one season?


God bless West ham being terrible at set pieces.



One of my mates is a West Ham season ticket holder and went to the game yesterday, coach up and back. So brutal:

At 2:25am:

"Yeah, I’m still on the coach. I crashed out and have just woke up.

Oh mate, it was ****ing dreadful. I’ve been on the road longer than that. �� We might be going down this season, it’s that bad. There’s also the disconnect with the owners, I joined the boycott on Monday."

At 3:56am:

"I read online the night tube runs every 20 minutes all night on a Friday and Saturday night… but when I was at Stratford at 3:05am there was nothing until 4:25am, so I’ve just Ubered it home.

I left at 11:05am Friday morning and got in 3:45am Saturday morning. Probably not worth it but I do it when I can to support the lads (and get smashed and hate myself)."

Quick google search tells me that this is still uncharted territory in the EPL.

However, there was a manager that received his pink slip 2x within a single calendar year. Can anyone guess who it was? I wouldn't have been able to I dont think.

Also idk what's up with West Ham, but when quickly looking through their squad I dont recognise like half the names in the squad.

It does not seem they have spent the Rice money wisely.

I haven't been able to get the 2x in a calendar year question yet without searching as I guess its not the answer below as it spans different leagues.

As for the original Tall Paul "Has a manager ever been sacked twice in one season?"

Google tells me not it's not happened in the top flight, or in England alone but Lee Johnson was sacked by Hibs then Fleetwood town in the same season a couple of years ago.

Kudus seems pretty good to be fair

Nope - this happened in the EPL

Mark Hughes

Stoke then took charge of Soton, kept them up, then proceeded to lose like 80% of the games at the start of the next season and got the boot. According to Google


You can thank me Sunderland fans/Chelsea haters as I bought Enzo on my FPL this week.

Touché

Though he only appears when winning.


lol Plop

Errrr Slop?


Wirtz this, Wirtz that...Kerkez might be the scam of the window.

I don't really get how this happened. He may have overperformed beyond belief last season? Not sure but he seems lost out there.

Lol its 2-1.... Guess who scored xdddddddd


Awful penalty call.


Losing TAAs long passing range and Salahs form and not knowing how best to integrate 450M of new players.

It’s pretty funny.


It seems people universally just agreed that Kerkez was a really good signing at the time, which I didn’t understand at the time. Not that it was wrong to think or anything, but I was surprised because I’d never really noticed or heard about him at all at Bournemouth before.

And tbh I kind of thought Salah’s form would take a nosedive last year and he put in a season for the ages. It’s still so jarring how quickly it happens in the Prem. KDB being another recent example.
