LondonTom Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Collymore joining match of the day, will make a nice change an ex Liverpool player as a TV pundit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 To be fair, he does at least have a personality compared to say Alan Shearer I've just read in one of the papers (not sure which one, had a flick thru them all) that Collymore has been slagging off the UK on twitter, which will be winding up a few people.

pink_triangle Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yaya Toure thinks it would be an honour to play for PSG!!! I wouldn't respect him more if he just said he would be honoured to receive the huge amounts of cash that PSG would throw at him.As for Spurs Pochettino seems the common sense choice. Im not sure if De Boer was in the running, but I imagine he would be reluctant as I suspect he could do slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_triangle Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Regarding the potential compromise of B teams being allowed in the Johnstones Paint trophy. While a better idea than sticking them in the league, it still potentially takes away these clubs winning the only cup (Im not counting the play offs a cup) that they can. Having seen my team win the JPT trophy the atmosphere there was far better than I could imagine Soton B v Liverpool B ever being and its a fantastic day out for fans who will remember the day out forever. If your going to stick them somewhere, I would much rather they were put in the league cup. Edited May 28, 2014 by pink_triangle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I don't know why they just can't go back to having a proper premier league reserve league if they want all the "B" teams to play each other? Teddy Sheringham seems to be Big Sam's forced attacking coach at West Ham. Happy to see him involved, but I am not quite what to make of it. To me it just seems like the board have appointed a known name to try and keep the fans quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 He's terrible though. Not as bad as Shearer, granted, but...........Nah, he's not.What footie needs is less arse-lickers, and no one can accuse Stan of that*.(* unless that's his dogging preference ).

ThomThomDrum Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Will he be able to do that on a mainstream football show? I very much doubt it. Edited May 28, 2014 by ThomThomDrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 If they wanted another yes man, there's the whole world and its dog to choose from.So presumably they got Stan precisely because he's a bit of a loose cannon (tho a safe-to-broadcast one, as his radio stuff has shown).

eFestivals Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 So.... Pooch at Spurs. How's that gonna go?I don't see it as a bad appointment, tho I'm not sure it's going to make much difference to their top-4 chances - there's just too many teams trying to squeeze into too-few places.

LondonTom Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Id say thats why the Beeb went for him. ITV have Roy and that works wonders for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last half decent pundit MOTD had was Dixon, and they let him go. It's up to Murphy to step up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink_triangle Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Fabianski to Swansea is interesting, mainly because it suggests Vorn may be leaving. Most of the top epl have solid keepers, so I cant think any obvious destination. Maybe he will end up abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Have read previously Vorm being linked with Anfield. No idea whether there's any truth in it or whether lazy journos are adding Rodgers + Vorm = 5.I can't see Fabianski going somewhere to sit on the bench, so my guess is that Vorm is definitely going somewhere.Mignolet hasn't been as good as many might have thought he would have been (me included), and it's at the back that Liverpool need strengthening ... so I can see both Vorm and Williams being at Anfield before the new season kicks off.

Andre91 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think Williams will come to Arsenal. Seems like Wenger has been interested in him for ages, and with his pricetag being around £3m (if the papers are to be believed) then it would be a decent bit of business for Wenger. Also, I love how Mesut Özil has been named signing of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I've never felt he was a top top 'keeper. Was surprised that Liverpool bought him and the size of the fee. Could have got Lloris for the amount they paid for Mignolet (probably less) and he's much better and less prone to errors IMO.SM has been one of the better Prem keepers in recent years I'd say. I wasn't much surprised they bought him (tho I've never been convinced he's any better than Reina overall), but I have been much surprised that he's not been as good as I'd previously thought. Perhaps I'd not seen enough of him previously.I agree that Lloris would have been a much better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
