The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

This is all the much sweeter knowing people are gutted or annoyed he is at us

Klopp: Most hipster manager in the PL. 

[Nerf]

Missed this gem on first viewing because of The Mirror's awful live stream.

"Within four years I'm pretty sure we win a league title. If not, maybe my next job is in Switzerland."

[Lineker]

We had a perfect stream on the BBC Sport website you plum :/ 

[The Lusophone]

Also if Liverpool win a league title in the next four years, I'll eat many hats.

[Dan]

We had a perfect stream on the BBC Sport website you plum :/ 

Maybe Nerf doesn't have a TV license? 

[Lineker]

Maybe he should  

[Noah]

Silly British people, you can't drive your tv.

[Hobo]

Klopp seems really enthusiastic and really different from any manager Liverpool have had in the last decade or more.

It may be the best appointment since Rafa Benitez.

[Benji]

Roy Evans or bust!

[Szumi]

Big Sam is the new Sunderland manager.

 

In before Lineker!

[TCO]

Sam Allardyce and Sunderland must be the most perfect, yet depressing and unambitious match made in heaven ever.

[Colly]

Just in time for the derby.

[MDK]

Silly British people, you can't drive your tv.

You can't tell me what to do. Bloody colonial. 

[Cheeky Hughes]

Aguero and Silva both injured on international duty. What a load of bollocks.

[Gazz]

Aguero was in shit form anyway.

[TCO]

So lets look at Sunderland's last three managers

Paolo Di Canio lost his first game, his 2nd game in charge: 2-1 win against Newcastle

Gus Poyet's lost his first game, his 2nd game in charge: 3-0 win against Newcastle

Dick Advocaat's lost his first game, 2nd game in charge:  1-0 win against Newcastle

Guess who Big Sam's 2nd game in charge will be against?  It's got to be the most random and bizarre stat ever and it could go four managers in a row.

[Colly]

You're suggesting it's accidental?

[TCO]

You're suggesting it's accidental?

It'd be pretty sad if they don't base their managerial appointments off of upcoming derbies!

[The Lusophone]

And if they do, it's a great appointment anyway, as Big Sam will be hoping to put it up ye' or whatever.
