Are Watford going to be the club that finally kill Roy Hodgson?

RIP wim jansen - stopped the 10 and brought the king of kings to CP. legends never die

top five biggest spenders in the UK in summer 1997 (when wim jansen joined):

1. Newcastle - £17.5m
2. Rangers - £15.5m
3. Spurs - £12.15m
4. Arsenal - £11.5m
5. Chelsea - 10.3m

Legend indeed, RIP. He even played for my team in his latter years, even tough he was a legend with 422 games for our great nemesis. Says alot I think.

By king of kings, surely you mean King Henrik, ja?

Wim of course denied the Celts a second big cup as a player.

I once observed Henrik being stopped for an autograph on Sauchiehall Street. By the time the junky had found his blue bookie pen an orderly queue had formed. Henrik dealt with it all quite effortlessly.

heard that senegal continued playing sadio mane after he gets knocked out cold and bleeding from said head injury
fuck international football

I’d forgotten about Roy Hodgson’s grudge against Harry the hornet. Someone’s going to have a bit of explaining to do on Roy’s first day.

hows eveyones transfer window going ?

Heavy metal football innit?

Pretty good, thanks.

Good to see that the door's being locked now the covid cancellation horse has bolted. 4 cases needed to postpone a match going forward. Still won't stop Liverpool's 'false positive' scheme, but a belated step in the right direction.

Article by Chelsea on how they are leading the footballing world on anti-semitism:

Accidentally neglects to mention that their fans have been leading the footballing world on anti-semitism for decades.

Coincidentally so did the Headhunters and the BNP / Combat 18 / National Front members who made up their ranks.

Wherever you go, Arsenal fans are amazing value. And I'm glad to see this place is no different.

Sounds like Fat Frank is going to Everton. A match made in heaven.

Thomas Muller to Everton is my favourite story of the transfer window.

Has a southern manager ever succeeded at a northern club? Can't think of one

Sweepstake on when Conte will chin Levy.

This Infantino guy is proving to be as corrupt as his predecessor. First about 'saving african migrants' and now claiming only 3 casualties occurred from the qatar wc construction work, instead of 6500. Not sure if you forrinners can view that link, but I wasn't able to find an English source.
Edit: this hyperlinking on a phone is a pita

"Andy Carroll set for West Brom medical"

Pass the bleach cocktails please.

Andy Carroll, what could have been.

I was pleasantly surprised with his performances for Reading - he looked fit, sharp, strong, skilful and committed. Sad to see him go.

He looked like a donkey against us at home recently. More like an audition for Splash than anything else.

Would love to be proved wrong but I feel like he'll be another in the great line of total bags of shit we've had for strikers.
