Official Premier League 2010/11 thread

[Crybaby Bunting]

Peter Beardsley has been appointed caretaker manager.Fucking hell :/

[TCO]

This is depressing news. The season was going so well, 19 points already is way more than I expected and now they have to go and do this.

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

[therockbox]

I hope they rehire Joe Kinnear.

I'd probably burst.

[Hobo]

Surely Beardsley will just terrify the players into winning games!

[TCO]

I love how Alan Pardew is getting linked to the job, despite being the epitome of a failure.

Fuck it, appoint him and sign Nigel Quashie up too, Championship Winners 11/12!!

[Gazz]

Well, Ruud Gullit's sexy football didn't work :/

[Szumi]

I couldn't believe it when I saw Hughton got sacked. He's done a great job with Newcastle. Yeah, the club has been in poor form the past few games, but that happens when your starting center backs are out, as well as Barton and your captain, who has been doing really good this season too. Awful decision by Ashley.

But hey, I know Chris Hughton would be welcomed at the Boleyn!

I'd take Avram actually, but probably more because he's the double of my Grandad rather than anything else...

[Pesci]

It's always amazing when a club just becomes a complete caricature of itself.

[Twist]

*angry muttering*

That's pretty much all I've got right now. Bleedin' disgraceful. Hughton did not deserve this, poor bastard.

[jack95]

Hughton deserved to go. Apart from steadying the ship of a side in free fall, storming to the Championship, thrashing Aston Villa 6-0, beating arch rivals Sunderland 5-1, getting results against league champions Chelsea, earning the respect of the fans, and going about it all with a completely professional attitude and playing some pretty decent football, what did he ever accomplish?

Sarcasm aside, this is disgraceful, but Hughton shouldn't find it hard to find another job. I reckon he'd fit in well at West Ham if Avram Grant goes over the precipice, or Wigan if their struggles continue. Who is Ashley going to realistically find as a better replacement?

[ONO]

Cuellar better be starting ahead of Dunne tonight. The guy is out of shape and clearly not fit.

[ONO]

No Torres.

No Cuellar. The guy can't get a chance at all. Even though Dunne and Collins have been at their worst run of form at VIlla.

So Sky build up to a Liverpool/Villa game by talking all about... Chelsea?

[therockbox]

Hey, Keys and his monkey have spent a few minutes fawning over Roy. It'd be unfair to expect any more.

[stokeriño]

So Sky build up to a Liverpool/Villa game by talking all about... Chelsea?

1. It's Sky.

2. Talking about a club's shitness is the most interesting thing possible, if you believe the majority of football pundits. This is regardless of context. Hence, for the moment at least, Chelsea.

3. It's Sky.

I didn't actually see the build-up, so I'm just guessing. But aaanyway, not sure who I'm supporting in this one. I've fallen a bit out of love with Villa this season, and Liverpool are Liverpool. I guess I'll see how it goes.

We don't need your pity.

[TCO]

When Sky have MNF, the first half hour is dedicated to their Last Word programme they usually have on Sunday, that's why they talk aboiut other teams and why it starts at 7 for an 8pm kickoff.

Stupid tackle by Warnock and Dunne looking dodgy. There was me thinking 30 minutes ago we could actually win this one. Normal service to be resumed shortly.

Lol, and there we go. Villa really do look utterly fucking hopeless under Houllier.

Laughable. Absolutely laughable.
