The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

Did he beat them?

 

[PJ87]

You can certainly claim that you developed him as a player, but not via your academy. Wallsend did the nuts and bolts of his development. You did the next stage of his progression, but that's a different claim. Very worthy, but different.

What about Alan shearer? Regarded as a Southampton product but was at the same team until 16 again

 

[Don Barzini]

So it’s the “el sacko” tonight

Who is going to be out of a job tomorrow

O’Neill

Or

Lopetegui ?

Beneath the article on the BBC website speculating about who will win “El Sackico”, most of the commenters in the Have Your Say section have taken serious offence to the use of the phrase!

not surprised- it’s not the first El Sacko , been many over the years

Here’s a pub quiz type question….

Has there ever been a situation where BOTH managers of two teams who have just played each other have each been sacked after the game?

 

[PaulMdj]

Brilliant from Everton for looking after the 15 yr old who travelled from Australia to see the derby on Saturday

They invited him to Finch Farm for a training session and meet all the players.

Well done Everton!

Can he play up front?

Draw tonight could do it

Yep back in 2017

Sheff Wed vs Boro

Both went after

Did you know that anyway, or did you look it up?

Who were the managers, what were the circumstances etc?

 

[PJ87]

Disappointed, I was hoping the players tonight would all cut the collar open on their shirts like Antonio does

It came up on a quiz a few years back and also heard it again recently

Monk for Boro and Carvahal for Sheff Wed

Boro won but the team had been inconsistent for a while and were mid table - he was sacked first

Then couple days later Sheff binned their manager off they lost a load and were in a relegation battle

 

[clubchamp98]

Did he beat them?

He was on the bins side and won 3-0.

Old joke about Everton.

 

[clubchamp98]

Can he play up front?

If you want him to.

My dad was a Everton fan he used to polish his boots every Friday incase he was needed from the stands

He isn't regarded as a Southampton product up here . Again, Wallsend until 16. Southampton developed him but their academy didn't. Different stages of the process.

 

[Slime]

I sort of assume the Son hatred is just a mickey take, because he does come across as one of the nicer guys in football? I've heard it a few times now, so it seems to have become a bit of a meme.

Not at all.
He really does have a nasty streak in him, which he hides very well because it's very subtle.

I guess you guys got to hold onto something

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I guess you guys got to hold onto something

I'm not sure Hammers fans are the ones to point fingers on this subject .

Anyway, I'm not a Toon fan but I do have respect for what Wallsend have done over the years, and continue to do.

He's really not that sort of player...
... stuff just keeps happening when he's about ...

 

[PJ87]

I love the big man

Great celebration aswell

Well played Tommy lad
