My favourite is "manager X should offer his resignation because his team lost 4-0" .

tom27111 Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 For about 4 days running last week, Talksport kept retweeting a story saying "Adrian Durham thinks Celtic should be relegated for going to Dubai" No he doesn't. He just wants a reaction from idiots calling the premium rate phone number. The same idiots get riled and fall for for it constantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 Talksport is good to laugh at other teams fans getting angry and calling in. They go way over the top to get angry calls and it makes the fans go way over the top back. As soon as they mention your team turn it off. Because the guy who phones in is more annoying than any thing they try to bait with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 20 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 20 January 2021 30 minutes ago, Wizerud said: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55727801 Terrific article. Just to pick out one paragraph though: Rodgers has pieced together a beautifully balanced side, with the industrious Ndidi the perfect foil for Maddison and Youri Tielemans in midfield, with Vardy fed by the plentiful supply line from Marc Albrighton and Harvey Barnes. Worth noting that every single one of those players predate Rodgers’ arrival. That’s not a dig at his recruitment - Praet has been outstanding before his injury, and Little Wes, Castagne and JJ have all been phenomenal - it’s the fact that he’s got those players playing so ****ing well together that’s remarkable. Recruiting for improvements/replacements is going to be an extremely hard task. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this squad of players played for Arsenal he wouldn't have said that. Just looking at the betting Man City are second favourites this season at 4/1 on Betfair and we beat them 5-2 this season. Real Madrid and Barcelona are nowhere near the teams they were and PSG ain't that great either. Whilst we wouldn't be seen in the group of potential winners we wouldn't be listed with the no hopers either. We'd be one of those considered a dark horse like a Dortmund. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 Top ten best decisions of the 2020/21 Premier League season so far (football365.com) 1) Brendan Rodgers’ squad goals Leicester have played a potentially difficult hand incredibly well. Their collapse to close the previous season could have given way to a panicked overhaul but Brendan Rodgers realised that within that disappointment was overachievement from a squad that would only get better for the experience of a mixed campaign. Timothy Castagne and Wesley Fofana were added as undeniable quality at high prices, with Cengiz Under completing the set on loan. Rodgers has been the key, treating injuries as puzzles to solve rather than obstacles to lament; we are literal months removed from any of Wilfred Ndidi, Christian Fuchs or Daniel Amartey being used at centre-half. But most commendable is his insistence that returning players must earn their way back in instead of automatically reprising their role. Caglar Soyuncu, PFA Team of the Year member for 2019/20, has been placed on a diet of substitute minutes because Fofana and Jonny Evans fared so well in his absence. James Justin excelled at right-back when Castagne was out so kept his place for the Belgian to return on the left before they were rotated. Marc Albrighton has similarly taken his chance and been recognised amply for it. That has made for a genuine meritocracy in which performances and form are rewarded over favouritism and preferential treatment. Such excellent man-management has, in turn, taken Rodgers into familiar territory; perhaps this time a fresh and varied Leicester squad can fully capitalise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-news-chelsea-reaction-4906880 Foxes ‘must be taken seriously' - BBC Sport Leicester City have won a reputation as the Premier League's great front-runners this season - now they must be taken seriously after moving out in front as an increasingly unpredictable race for the title unfolds. The Foxes have proved impregnable when they have gone ahead this term, the 2-0 win over Chelsea the 12th time in 12 league games this season they have claimed three points after going ahead. It means no-one should have been surprised that they closed out the win that took them top ahead of Manchester United at the halfway point in their season, although the comfort with which they dismissed Chelsea will have alarm bells clanging for manager Frank Lampard and, rather more significantly, owner Roman Abramovich. Lampard will know Abramovich does not do mates' rates when it comes to managers and he will go the same way as all the others he played under if Chelsea fall too far away from Champions League contention for the Russian's liking. It was after a 2-1 loss at Leicester in December 2015 that Abramovich brought a brutal end to Jose Mourinho's second Chelsea reign and while Lampard may not have reached that point yet, this lame, heartless performance will not have helped his long-term prospects. No such problems for Leicester, who are top of the table and moving with the ease of a well-oiled machine. Leicester can ‘have a say’ in title race - Mail Online There are few more pleasing sights in English football than Leicester City in full flight. They play brisk, incisive football that brings with it a threat just about every time they have the ball. Beautifully coached by Brendan Rodgers, the 2016 champions sit top of the Premier League for the second time this season. If they keep key players fit, Leicester can have a say in the destination of this year's trophy, for sure. Few teams, on the other hand, will be so compliant as desperate, deteriorating Chelsea. Decent enough with the ball, Frank Lampard's team were quite awful without it and you simply cannot be that way against a team like Leicester. The home team eased to victory by two goals and it could have been more. Chelsea, so promising for much of Lampard's debut season last time round, suffered at the King Power from what appeared to be a mixture of draining confidence and tactical and positional uncertainty. Foxes ‘outwitted’ Chelsea – The Guardian Leicester are top of the league and worthy title contenders. Who knows what Chelsea are? Not what many think they should be, that is for sure, which is why Frank Lampard’s management is under fresh scrutiny. This was Chelsea’s fifth defeat in their last eight league matches and there could be no quibbling about the outcome at the King Power, where Brendan Rodgers’s team were superior in all departments. Leicester outwitted and outfought the visitors and sealed victory thanks to first-half goals by Wilfred Ndidi and James Maddison. They could have scored more against a Chelsea team that mixed tantalisingly slick interplay with alarming sluggishness and ramshackle defending. At times they looked like an attractive work in progress; mostly they resembled a disenchanted side going through motions. Lampard has criticised the players’ attitude several times this season. Some do not seem to be responding. ‘Quicker, cleverer, simply better’ – The Independent One of the bright young things who kicked on under Jose Mourinho’s tutelage at Chelsea is top of the league. Not Frank Lampard, however, but Brendan Rodgers, the unknown coach who Mourinho lured from Reading and promoted. Rodgers has proved upwardly mobile since then, leapfrogging the Manchester clubs on an evening when his Leicester produced the performance of potential champions. Quicker, cleverer, simply better, they outclassed last summer’s big spenders. They may only lead the division for 24 hours but, five years on from the most improbable of title wins, a sequel feels increasingly possible. Lampard’s Chelsea languish in eighth, out of the title race and inviting questions if he will soon be out of a job. This was the kind of display that can get a manager the sack. Chelsea were sluggish at the start and shambolic at the back, a fifth defeat in eight games reflecting badly on the man in charge. They were incoherent, Leicester incisive. The Foxes looked the well-coached team. They turned less into more. Read more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
