Because changing manager won’t magically make their limited squads significantly better, and for some clubs stability is more important than committing organisational suicide on the altar of Premier League survival.
Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton will probably see survival as a bonus rather than an expectation this year, and hopping on an expensive managerial merry go round in November probably isn’t a key part of their strategies.
Kasami for Fulham. Can’t remember him doing anything else ever.
Kasami for Fulham. Cant remember the game, too much of a neutral for that, but he basically did a Van Basten.
Aye, good guess.
Honestly, it’s not too dissimilar to our own local rivalry though. For years we were the underdog, and you’re left with two choices - be buoyed by shallow hope for a little bit before your crushing disappointment, or cede to your inferiority before the match and still face the crushing disappointment- of which you’re well accustomed to shrugging off.
They’ve had less to celebrate than you historically, so it’s perfectly natural that it means more. It doesn’t mean they’re inferior.
Unless that’s just growing older 🤷
Yep 😀
They’re an underdog in your local rivalry, of course they’re motivated! Of course they celebrate it.
Not too dissimilar to your lot finally beating us this season…
Having watched us be an absolute basket case that jumped up and down the leagues with no real hope of holding on to any players that showed any promise, no. No its not.
We’ve had local businessmen run us into the ground whilst one of our club icons siphoned money out of the club whilst we struggled, and that wasn’t hugely satisfying or fulfilling.
Seeing people who have chosen to support one of the traditionally more dominant teams doing their level headed best to look down on fans who would still be there if the takeover never happened is funny, in a futile kind of way.
James Rodriguez is the biggest example of a World Cup glow-up. Man made a career out of it.
Back to those sex chat subs, you dirty anonymous dawg.
Manchester City 2 - 1 Liverpool.
Game had everything. Two top teams going for the win, quality team goals, counter attacks, intricate play, top finishes, and it was all played at 100mph throughout.
Was literally and figuratively inches between the two teams that day.
The man has a 5 year contract, and I’d guess Burnley would doubt their ability to get someone in a few games into the season. Given they’ve had a brutal fixture list and could have won a couple of them, but for some naive choices.
Young team, young manager. So long as they stay steady and learn their lessons they’ll stay up.
Trying to organise a proper press whilst one of the players won’t do any work off the ball is next to impossible, as opposing teams will break it easily.
That’s why Peps City won’t touch him, and why Liverpool wouldn’t either. Too expensive, needs special treatment and would be a tactical liability.
