FireFox Posted 24 December 2016 Share Posted 24 December 2016 The reason ÀFCON is played in January is because of the boiling heat in June/July. I was in Djibouti years ago and it got to 40 degrees Celsius.You realize Africa is a big continent, yes? And a large portion of it is below the equator. It actually runs right through Gabon. January is actually their hottest month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't "offered the job" at pretty much every club he faces, he's claiming he was going to sign Gareth Bale, Cesc Fabgregas and bring back Ronaldo to Man Utd http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38424155 So basically he's absolutely shite at getting deals over the line, and ended up with Fellaini and Mata.

It's probably quite nice for players in leagues that have a winter break that spans into February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Rafa arrived sooner, Sunderland would be in the championship right now. 13 hours ago, STUHILL said: I think he is vastly overrated too and did very well to get the England job. I think he will do ok at Palace though, as they have been woefully underachieving considering their squad. Few signings in Jan and he will have them finish comfortably above relegation. They will never break the top 10 though with him as manager and say goodbye to any entertaining football there. I'd be relieved if I was a Palace fan, but also pretty depressed at the thought of the Football to come. Id have to disagree personally. I think hes a good manager that gets a lot of of what hes got, similar to Pulis. We can talk about style of play, but the style of play is what it is because of the teams they manager. Managers like Allardyce are nearly always brought in under tough circumstances to "do a job" and get the results ground out. Think he gets some unfair criticism over style personally.

Get in the bin. He's had one training session, and they've not won the game yet. There is often a bounce when a new manager comes in. I remember us doing quite well for a few weeks when Ian Holloway was appointed and look how quickly that turned to shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the no accountability for referees continues. Either Burnley-Boro is considered a demotion these days or the PL just don't care when their refs perform poorly. It's a bit of a joke the protectionism they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt mean the referee was necessarily bad. Perhaps the players were being twats. If they were whats he supposed to do? let yellow card tackles go? The "its my first one" line you hear on a sunday, lip read on the tv makes me laugh. So what if its your first one, if its worthy of a booking youre in the book and you should learn to tackle.
