There were a few on here last year who didn’t rate Potter, really couldn’t believe it. He is a top manager, we should’ve moved when we might have had a chance of getting him.

Totally changed them from the side they were but people were obsessed with just comparing Potter’s win percentage to Hughton’s.

Christian Pulisic will be hoping for 4th in our group in Qatar, this isn’t the Super Bowl and we don’t reward that kind of nonsense with a play off system! 

Yeah, because 4th place doesn't get you a playoff spot in the English game...

Gronk spike:

 

Today was the first time an American player has scored for an American manager in the PL.

 

 

I mean, isn't that a bit obvious? 

 

Am I being thick or was Bob Bradley the only other American manager? Did he have any American players? 

 

I feel like I'm probably forgetting someone obvious?

Would argue the person who's quoted four posts and then posted a jpeg of someone no one has heard of probably has the proverbial head lodger but go for it mate!

How is that relevant to what I said? My only point is others need to share the blame with Rodgers (Ie Fofana, Tielemans, maybe top and rudkin). I'm not for one second defending Rodgers. 

I’m not sure what is going on behind the scenes, you can only second guess, but something appears to be intrinsically wrong at the club. The hastened and surprising departure of Kasper was odd. The general vibe around Brendan is confusing , was there ever plans to give funds for new players, was the plug pulled if so why. maybe the next few weeks will provide a few answers.

The WUM is wounded 

 

Right now I am watching Abu Dhabi FC play Saudi Arabia FC, who were welcomed into the “best league in the world” by God knows what combination of UK politicians and League executives.

 

Any who truly fret about a few American players and managers coming up and doing well (which I doubt actually includes you MGTW -- you're a good laugh), wow.  Just wow.

[st albans fox]

Harland is gonna walk off if he doesn’t get a square pass soon 

 

Man City spent 5 years giving those to sterling (who missed half of them) and now they won’t do it for someone who would probably score nearly all of them …..

Wagner.  Don’t remember if he had any Yanks on his team.

People should’ve realised he took over from Houghton who played a grim style of football so there was always going to be a transition period. If he can get their players playing like they are now imagine him with ours and our facilities.

In my experience, football fans from the USA give way, way, way more fvcks about what Europeans think of them than Europeans actually give about American footballers. 

 

I know the American mentality is that the world revolves around you but to us in Europe you're just another country that footballers, owners and coaches come from. We don't really care, there's nothing special about you to us at all. 

 

And not in the Notts Forest "doth protest too much" sense. We just really don't. There is no beef. But you get so precious about it we know you'll bite every, single time.

Absolutely agree, he fits exactly what we want and need here

I’m afraid anyone seriously thinking Leicester will finish above Newcastle this season is living in cuckoo land

Newcastle would be mid-table; I can’t see us being near that  

[StanSP]

At least Rodgers hasn't blamed the travel arrangements (or has he?)

 

 

He's very bitter. Somehow Chelsea were clearly the better team. Absolute bollocks.

Genuinely who thinks that? We will be lucky to finish above Forest.

Newcastle piling the pressure on.
Almiron scores but potentially handball?

[Hamilton Fox]

Newcastle giving it a right go against Man City and a goal is coming (not this one it’s been dissallowed)

Just look back at the ‘where will we finish’ thread. 
Someone put fourth…
