Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 Seen Pardew bleating about it this morning. Making excuses already, the cunt. We've got 15 fit senior players and had to play Sat-Tue-Sat-Mon. Lots of clubs in the real world are the same. Needs to shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 There is no one who I would more like to see banished to barren wasteland of shite lower league clubs than King Pardew. Bloke is a totalĀ and utter helmet. I'm delighted he's doing terribly with West Brom (sorry Ralphy).Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 Wolves have beaten Real Madrid Ā to theĀ signing of Rafa Mir from Valencia for the FFP shattering price of Ā£1.5 million. Madrid have been after him for quite some time, ans apparently had sorted a deal for 500k, but were looking to put him in the 'B' team for a season or two. His agent is best buddies with Mendes! And Nuno gave him his debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 It's my favoutite headline of the season so far. Don't care that it's a lower league Spainish striker at all. Although he is apparently quite highly rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Most of the managers have moaned about the Xmas fixture lists so its not just Pardew. I think the point all of them are trying to make is that its not so much the amount of games played, its some teams having more days rest than others. I don't think thats an unreasonable thing to say. The game these days can be decided by the smallest of margins so teams with 5 days rest playing a team with 2 days rest will clearly have an advantage of sorts.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 Given the fact the other leagues start at the same time as us (Spain start even later I believe), what are the alternatives to give the league a winter break or more relaxed fixture run at that time of the year? Would more mid-week games be the answer? Is that how they manage it in the other big leagues? Excluding Germany of course, who play fewer games as their league is smaller. Not sure that would resolve it anyway, you're surely just moving fixtures within the same season timeframe. Might ease up the sheer amount of games over a short period over Christmas though. Doing away with the League Cup? It's pretty redundant anyway. However, most big name players won't play in it anyway. Fucking off international football would be a start.

Porkchopcash Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 With the size of the squads and rotation system many teams use i dont think itās unreasonable for them to have have to play the fixtures they do over christmas. If teams are that concerned about playing extra games they shouldnt piss off to Asai and America pre season and play in these pointless little cup tournaments over there. But the fact is they are money grabbing cunts and if they were given a 3 week break over christmas and the season extended, it wouldnt be long before theyāre back over during the break. if you look at tennis players for example, they can play a 3 hour match then two days later do it again.Ā Managers are just whinging cunts looking for excuses when they lose.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoUseforaUsername Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Shane Long ended a run of 35 games without scoring tonight but Southampton still lost. Much has been made of that but Manolo Gabbiadini has only scored one more goal from open play during that time and has clocked as many minutes. Which means they're fucked without Charlie Austin basically. I reckon Carlos Carvalhal will keep Swansea up so Saints and West Brom could be in serious trouble.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 2, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2018 With us both being fucking shit near the bottom of the Championship, I've got to wondering if a fixture has ever been played in three different divisions in consecutive seasons as Hull City v Sunderland could be!

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted January 2, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2018 Jake Livermore was involved in an altercation with some West Ham fan during their game. Hasnāt been confirmed but plenty of witnesses claimingĀ itās because the fan said he was glad Livermoreās baby died. Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need to either leave FIFA or get their permission for that last suggestion, sadly. Logistically it seems it's the cup competitions that make the difference. In the French League Cup, teams in Europe don't enter until the last 16, whilst Italy and Spain don't bother with a secondary knockout tournament for teams in the top 2 divisions at all. Of course in all 3 countries their main cup doesn't have any replays either.Ā It's worth noting that neither Italy nor Spain seemĀ to haveĀ bothered with a proper winter break this season, but they haven't made their clubs play 5 times in 15 days either.
