Corky Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 I don't subscribe to the theory that footballers are role models at all times but the stupidity (or arrogance) of posting pictures breaking lockdown when thousands of people have made huge sacrifices to not meet up and made agonising decisions, plus it now being illegal, makes it all the more worse. They aren't errors of judgement or mistakes, you've not been able to meet anyone indoors for two months. Every piece of media explains it. To then broadcast it is totally moronic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 I think it's safe to say if Big Sam fails at West Brom this will probably be the last we see of him in football, he will probably make out they were down before he arrived. But honestly, since he took apart from that draw against Liverpool, I would say they have got worse. Who know's still some time ago... i think it would probably be a miracle if Big Sam can keep West Brom, they basically playing a championship squad in the premier league a bit like Sheffield United are present.

It's been Fat Sam's last job for about 8 years! They'll always be a team desperate enough to hit that particular panic button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Walsh5 Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 The only way you might get these footballers from breaking the rules are if the clubs they play for receive point deductions. Hitting players with a weeks fine and making them apologise isn’t much of a deterrent to them. If it impacted the club directly they might make sure their players are following the rules strictly. Manchester City should not be allowed to postpone another game this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PL goveners can Keep forgiving These Not so young players Covid party discretions..& Sheer stupidity, Then Its not within the bounds of FA ineptitude, that we will see Big Sam return to the England fold... Mind you I didn t mind his appointment, it would of been an interesting point in English-football- history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlesbrough were docked 3pts for a flu outbreak when they couldnt fulfil a fixtures in the 90s against Blackburn.

deanolegend1989 Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 I don’t think we’re playing today now, it’s been called off I assume. Sky’s been on half hour now and I think Chelsea are playing Man City today so not sure when we’re playing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the big problem with the appointment for West Brom, if he keeps them up, great but they look doomed and if they do go down they have a manager who will have no interest in managing in The Championship and they'll have to start again.

With another manager like Bilic who'll get them up again in a season or two, but then not receive the backing to strengthen the squad enough to stay up.

I personally find nothing more boring than a team just passing the ball in front of the opposition with no purpose or penetration. Football purists will say that we played 'better' football under Puel then when won the league but I know which team I'd rather watch. This first half is a perfect example. Mind numbingly boring.
