I don't think he's gay, he's just an enthusiastic yank

I have an old mate who is and always has been camper than a row of pink tents. But he is straight. He is and always has been pretty lucky with the ladies as he's a handsome fucker.

Evatt is that you?

Too much reliance on data searching for a rough gem. Worked with Whittaker but far more failed.

He’d be out by January anyway given their record even with a star striker like Etete.

That'd be a game worth watching.

F'call to do with the performance & everything together do with the stick he'd get.

[Not in Crawley]

My Cardiff support mate is not happy at all 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Sheehan to Cardiff then?

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

"a win rate of approximately 50%"

😁

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I wouldn't pay a great deal of attention to the rumour just yet - all the article is really reporting is that his name appears in the list of candidates on the betting market, which doesn't in itself mean anything

[Whitesince63]

A few on the Cardiff sites reckon it’s already a done deal.

Like it has for Man City, this season? That style of play has been found out and countered by teams at most levels.

Plus it will take him 5 years to catch up to the system of pep ball that has been found out.

Burnley, Luton and several others too prove it just doesn’t work even if you have good players. The systems been found out as you say and is easily overcome.

Watching, particularly Palace but also Bournemouth, Fulham & Newcastle amongst others this season has shown the benefit of swift, sweeping football by very fit players.

It's been obvious to many for some time. It's taken others far too long to realise it.

I'm amazed if others haven't sussed this but if Cardiff go for him it'll be quite the ride.

Their version of pepball is about 4 seasons behind.

Peps tbf has adapted his systems and way of playing plenty and rebuilt his teams to suit. The high press hasn't all of a sudden just been invented.

He will always be possession based but there's more to being that than fannying about at the back. 

You must be crackers if you think he or city are done for. Got his work cut out mind.
