why are you being a cunt? i also started a world football thread, am I not allowed to post on that because it specifies non-english speaking leagues? are supporters of league teams or scottish teams not allowed to post on the premiership thread now?

ok i get it.look, i support ipswich.we're going through a very un-ipswich time but i'm ok with stuff.lol keane refs just feel like other prem fans having a nice schadenfreude moment.

which don't relate to itfc as a league club, i should have added.

ok mayne, it's cool. micky adams putting the whole squad up for sale in september is pretty funny though.
― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Most neutrals are reasonably affectionate towards Ipswich I reckon. If there's any schadenfreude - really it's more wtfenfreude - it's directed squarely at Keano, and I don't think he'll be around to bother y'all much longer.

i wouldn't put it past keane to turn up with a semi-automatic at the next training session
― do you want to be happier? (whatever), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link
he's only got a 2 year contract so there's a get out on either side.fuck we were a goal down away at bramall lane, get 3-1 up and contrive to draw...but that's no different to where we were with magilton.this was only his 12th league game in charge.trying to keep the faith.
― do you want to be happier? (whatever), Tuesday, 29 September 2009 21:54 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm sure he deserves a proper chance but he's partly a victim of the media shitstorm that is being Roy Keane.

nah i feel you dogg, almost lashed out myself a while ago when qpr were flopping and goonerboy dropped the "Supporting Reading is not fun. Now I know how it feels to follow a shite team" ho-ho bullshit. (not mad about it now mind.)
anyway classic night in the championship yesterday - just when you thought you had it vaguely figured out the snowglobe gets the brisk shake and it's anyone's again. and from dreading a home game v palace i'm now positively licking my chops over rangers heading up to st james park tonight...

lol damien delaney btw :)

Ha, I am young and naive in it all, my bad. Trying to be less of a typical arsenal supporter comes in embarrassing leaps and bounds.
― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 18:27 (fourteen years ago) link
is there a col (cry out loud) equiv of lol? cos delaney's non-defending in the newcastle game made me want to weep.
sure i can see why you're glad to see the back of him, and for 750K? a fool and his money....

and rtc good point tonight, props

wellll i've got nothing to smirk at tbh - pretty sure we paid a million plus for the poor sod in the first place. have to say in his first season playing kamikaze footer under gigi de canio i thought he was quite fun, in an uh ineptly buccaneering sort of way...
and yeah, gotta be happy with the point tonight - fair play to jimbo, he seems to finally be finding himself the right balance between the dowie defence & de canio attack regimes. ironically as much as i poke fun at ahoyhoy rangers are probably the closest thing to the championship's random arsenalesque wildcard: butter when it clicks, utter clowntown when it don't. plus steve stone on the radio tonight was giving it the old "let's see how they cope on a windy december night in wherever" spiel (inbetween repeatedly suggesting his lads should hoof it up to carroll more often) so there you go.

During pre-season, Ipswich's players were taken on a survival course for a couple of days which saw them left to their own devices in the wild. The idea, naturally, was to take the players "out of their comfort zone" which for Keane sounds disappointingly like bullshit.The centrepiece of this jaunt was the production of a live pig which was then transformed into a dead pig in order to provide the squad with something to eat for the next 48 hours. A few were said to have wondered how this would help them defend set-pieces but the headlong rush out of "the comfort zone" is one of the great orthodoxies in the age of bullshit and cannot be questioned.

Have to admit that Magilton has us playing very, very good football at the moment, it's almost enough to start believing.

Wow, didn't expect that, especially as they're only a point behind the leaders.

I feel a bit sorry for him, I've always liked him for some reason - think cos he seems calm and reasonable, plus he looks a little bit silly, and I'd always assumed that team would come good given the time. Might be completely wrong tho.

same as suedey, tbh, i like southgate, although i'm not sure he's a football manager. assistant job for him at a premier league club?
― ever dream some dude? (darraghmac), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 12:02 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd have him.
Something is really rotten at Grimsby Town F.C. and I'm not sure any manager's gonna be able to turn it around on their own.
