Were there any moments of CAAAAAAHIIIIILLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?

Yep, our Timmy scored two goals, one before half-time and one in the second half. Everton 7, Sunderland 1. Saw it on Fox Sports News about an hour ago.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Yeah, I saw it earlier in the day. He really is a superstar.

 

[mattfb]

"GEEERRRRAAAARRRRRDDD!!!!!!!!!!"

Derby County are complete fools. Billy Davies had a 3 year plan for Derby which saw them promoted in the 3rd season, he got promoted 2 years in advance of that plan, it shouldnt be surprising that they're stuggling. Managers now adays arent given the chance to implement a plan and build themselves a team. Billy Davies is probably the best manager Derby could have, very talented manager that would have done good things if given the chance. It seems that clubs are too worried about instant success, as opposed to building a team and letting a manager develop. Derby arent going to stay up, and will probably end up changing managers once more over the season. Idiots.

Davies criticised his board in public. You jus't can't do that nowadays. At the end of the day Derby County Football Club are a business. You wouldnt publically criticise your boss in an everyday job, so why should he be able to do it here.

Derby are going down this year whoever manages them.

Does seem like a short sighted thing to do.

Yes, managers who criticise their board are living dangerously, but Managers are under intense pressures and have microphones jammed under their noses straight after matches, probably the worst time for interviews (is there a good time?) but they are obliged to say something. Sometimes they'll probably regret what they say. To sack someone just because they hurt your feelings is a bit childish.

Lol. It's not a question of hurting feeling. It's a question of maintaining the clubs reputation. When Davies comes out and criticises his board it shows a weakness internally in Derby County Football Club. A relationship on the rocks if you will. And this can't happen for a club to flow smoothly and be succesful.

Bothroyd hasn't publically criticised his board. So that's completely different.

When a team has lost almost all of their games and the team is playing bad football, you can hardly expect the manager to keep his mouth shut and be a happy man, of course he is going to say something which might upset some people right after another bad performance and defeat.

Rafa Benitez has supposedly criticised his bourd, but would they sack him? I doubt it.

You can say something, but you can't publically criticise your employers. Pretty pety passing on the blame.

Benitez won't be Liverpool manager in the 2008/09 season in my opinion.

That seems more and more likely... hope it's sorted and he'll stay.

Norwich beat Blackpool today so we are now on a 2 game winning streak, and a point away from getting out of the relegation zone!

 

[Manly]

town win at home...yet again... 12 home wins on the bounce

shame about blackpool though

 

[Leicester Fox]

I've had a brilliant couple of days. I went to United yesterday and Leicester on monday. On Monday I was in our box at Leicester and we had some very interesting neighbours. Outside our box theres 2 rows of seats to watch the game in on a seperate terrace bit, then all the boxes have these and their only seperated by a rope. Anyway I was watchig the game and about 10 minutes in Kasabian walked into the box next to us I said **** me thats Kasabian to which one of them said yes we are I think its because the game was on sky and skys box is next to ours but that was quality. Serge had his hat on lol, and they all gt pissed off and shouted at the ref which I found hilarious to watch. Then the new manager Ian Holloway decided to rent one f our mates houses, I know all the famous people
