I quite like our American owner tbh. He's pretty likeable, doesn't interfere, backs his manager, isn't trigger happy. Anything would have been an improvement on the last owners though

Hiddink is a joke but he will probably make the Chelsea players feel better about themselves than Mourinho did. I predict an 11th place finish.

But that's most of the appeal

There's nothing like looking at a freshly printed team-sheet and oooing and aaahing at all the foreign names and then when the game starts you have to re-check the team-sheet and see that, hell, you didn't read the Js as Ls after all, that clearly says Ulloa right there, what's Michael Owen been drinking this time

In all seriousness they really should just build a new park. Selhurst is a loving dump and that's describing it kindly. I don't know how much renovation they could do without it getting to the point where just putting something new up makes more sense.

This has been floating round for a bit and a paper in Ireland printed about him being dropped for turning up to training drunk but they printed a retraction

It started at Red Issue, who are also claiming that senior figures at Old Trafford have claimed Mourinho will be rocking up next season

Sometimes Big Sam gets a little too much stick for how his West Ham tenure went but signing Carroll for £17 million when he was already injured rather than paying £8-10 million for Wilfried Bony is one of the more spectacular gently caress ups in terms of our recent transfers

I am also very okay with this because while it might be less of a disaster than Mourinho this year he's still lost it.

Sam Allardyce isn't a top-level football manager, never has been, and gets by on being such a oval office people assume he's also good.

Sam Allardyce loves to talk about his curse on Jose Mourinho. 0 wins.
