Premier League 21/22

Flaneur

Thing is about Everton, they actually need somebody like Rafa, ask Newcastle.

Couple of years with him teaching Duncan and let Duncan take over.

Harvest I thought Everton were better than that. That’s the kind of behaviour I’d expect from Millwall and their ilk. No class.

Flaneur

Don’t get me started because there are lots of cool blues. And we have our dickheads too.

Harvest

Patrick Vieira to become Palace manager. How does that grab you @fulmine ?

space

Harvest Those TVs he made with Sony were good.

Anchor

Harvest That and desperation spring - very average record at NY and Nice.

Fuck me - Sparky will be back soon!

fulmine

Harvest Yeah, not massively optimistic to be honest. All seems a bit Frank De Boer mark 2. Daft thing is that everyone knew Hodgson was off a year ago (and that over half the squad will be out of contract).

Harvest

fulmine Forgot about Dr Boer being there, he had a shocker. Out on his arse again now as well.

They should have given the job to this loon.

fulmine

Harvest I know it always sounds gormless saying this, but actually I wouldn’t mind just having a fucking laugh this season. I know it’s the golden years for a club like us and everything else, but it gets really bloody boring just looking to get 40 points every season. If Vieira does come in, as long as he gets us playing with a bit more enjoyment, uses some of the kids we’ve got, etc then I’ll be happier than I was watching four years of Hodgson-style prudence (or pwewdence).

Harvest

fulmine Genuinely, last season whilst watching MOTD, my lad said, ’What’s the point of Crystal Palace, I don’t get it’. Which is more or less what you’re saying.

fulmine

Harvest Ish… I’d like to think that there’s always going to be a point to clubs like Crystal Palace, I’m just not sure that they can really hope to exist in the Premier League without a shed load of cash, a brand to leverage in Thailand, etc etc. Basically I’m bored of the Premier League, even more so after all the Big Six crap and this total lie that everyone seems to have swallowed that no one bar the owners at the clubs involved (and certainly not groovy Klopp) knew anything about it…

fulmine This - I have been bored and reticent of the prem for at least a decade. It seems the chance to score a goal now and then would be the height of excitment for at least half the teams in the league and not having a fucking clue when you are playing.

Load of old cunt.

Saying that - the Championship is quickly resembling it these days as well.

Flaneur

fulmine Hmmm… I think if Klopp knew he was going into a tournament where revenue is guaranteed, he wouldn’t have loaned a defender from Schalke that we are not keeping, or buy a player from Preston that we’ve never played and are trying to sell - he’d have bought Koulibaly. For at that point, we were so far off 4th place.

Klopp didn’t know at all.

fulmine

Flaneur Nah, I think he did mate. I think they all did. Would any of them seriously want to work at a place where they’re kept completely in the dark on something like that, where the first they heard of it was apparently in the press? You’d kick up a much bigger fuss or walk out completely.

Harvest

Everton fans are happy today.

Flaneur

Harvest Decent Manager and decent man. Just what they need.

Harvest

Flaneur They don’t seem to see it like that from what I can gather. If they don’t get a few wins early on it’ll turn toxic pretty quickly.

Zipper

Harvest
He had the same treatment at Chelsea
Top 4 and Europa Cup or Cup Winners can’t remember. Was still not accepted.
Calling Everton small has not helped, plus he goes to China for coin.
Clearly a decent manager but would not want him anywhere near our place

Flaneur

Interesting times…
