Why wouldn't you? It was a bit of a joke. Taking Bolton out the equation though I think the 20 clubs won’t see him like that. He’s made himself a survival specialist on 6 month roles. limits his opportunities to win anything imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, I agree, he was never given a chance of a top job, and an interesting discussion of the wireless the other day harked back to his Allardici comments. They were questioning why there is a desire to go for so many Portuguese managers at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that most clubs after he left went to shite. He's not a good fit for Arsenal really if I'm being serious because he's a "manage club from top to bottom" type and that's just not possible at a massive club. However, I think he's adaptable enough to give it a go. Mind Arsenal are set for years in the wilderness so I'm not sure anyone with sense goes there. That squad is awful and they don't seem to be financially able to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not as bad as I thought. Clearly buying wrong types. 5th highest for wages too. I guess though overall that shows they aren't investing for what their fans expect which would be at least top 4..if not better. But clearly lower spenders are overachieving with right manager and right conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 We've had enough empty seats stick, so its good to see all the red and blue seats at the likes of PNE, Charlton and especially Stoke tonight. No doubt the official crowd will be 21,500, looks about half that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good memories of the 80 semi final saga against the Scousers. A Brian Talbot header at Coventry denied the Scouse cunts the double in the 4th match.Instead of great history being created like that nowadays it would be a wank penalty shoot out at Wembley A proper liverpool hater would mention a later arsenal result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised you didnt mention that Rog 79 was another Scouse title winning season, I think they clinched it in the May snow at Burnden, Sadly for them their double dreams ended in the semi final again, this time thanks to Jimmy Greenhoff at Goodison 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the covering defender could have cleared it with a diving header, but it was as if he didn't believe the shot would go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 2 are eleven points clear, then 3rd to 13th are covered by 5 points. Win a couple and they'll be in the top 6 lose a couple and they'll be mid table.
