The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

Slaven Billic is the new West Ham manager according to Sky.

[Lineker]

Newcastle have parted company with John Carver and Steve Stone.

[Gazz]

[Colly]

It's like all my Christmases have come at once. Clearing out these lot is almost more important than bringing a new manager in. We might even learn how to score from and not concede from set pieces.

[Baddar]

Joe Kinnear appointed manager on 10 year deal.

[Hobo]

If my memories of Football Italia is correct James Richardson should do all the BT programming.

[Arjen Robben]

[brenchill]

So Gary Lineker has left BBC?

[Colly]

No.

[Lineker]

He's doing both. Save the Beeb some money no doubt.

[Noah]

'Chris Smalling says he and Phil Jones have proved they deserve to be the long term centre-half pairing for Manchester United'

[Matt]

I agree.

[Baddar]

They may well be if both could avoid injuries, but that ain't gonna happen.

[TCO]

No, I'm fully on board with this. They've totally proved it, next decade set then!

[Matt]

If Blackett wants to make it a back three then I could live with that too

[TCO]

He can play left back, Jones right and we'll round the 4 off with McNair partnering Smalling.

[Nerf]

I don't understand how Gerrard is now a pundit. Isn't he, y'know, gonna be in LA all the time?

And is this 'Ultra HD' thing something I have to pay extra for, as somebody that already subscribes to BT Sport?

[Baddar]

I imagine HD customers will automatically get it, but you'll need a 4K tv anyway.

[stokeriño]

I don't understand how Gerrard is now a pundit. Isn't he, y'know, gonna be in LA all the time?

You mean like how Lampard went straight to New York last summer?

[Baddar]

I imagine he'll work for BT when the MLS are in their off season. Quashes any chances of a playing return at Liverpool I suppose, but I would guess that he'll train there.
