Very cheeky post
Last Weekend of the Season Football Thread
Left back is a tricky one, cause both the form players donât play there naturally, so no matter how well theyâre playing you feel they might get shown up positionally by world class opposition. But then if the only other options are Bertrand and Baines then that doesnât give him much of a choice at all.
I want Allardyce to get a team and just sign all the old legends again, that Bolton era was great fun.
Michael Bridges coming off for Jardel or something
I still remember the first time Jardel played for BoltonâŚto say he filled the strip was an understatement!
I liked him well enough too. Heâs a decent manager and did a decent job, even if it wasnât one youâd call great.
He was on ÂŁ6m odd a year though and at least half the clubs in the league wouldnât want him as their manager either. Itâs hard not to hope for more, isnât it?
Rose over Baines but yeah, for sure. However if we are playing 3/5 atb I see no problem with taking just Delph and Young tbqh
If youâll allow me a brief Ugandan football diversion, the Kampala Capital City Authority FC beat the most successful African side in history, Al Ahly, 2-0 in the African Champions League yesterday forcing the Al Ahly coach to resign as a result. This is the equivalent of like, Linfield beating Real Madrid. Crazy stuff.
Oh yeah, I forgot Gareth started trying that out in friendlies. Could work well for us with the squad weâve got.
Mottyâs doing Songs Of Your Years all this week on Radio 2. Whoâd have thought he liked American Pie?
He did a great job for us in our circumstances, which Iâll always appreciate him for.
His signings in that January transfer window were all excellent.
Milojevic (fantastic signing)
Van Aanholt (although it took him a while to become good with us)
Sakho (the loan of him practically kept us up single handed last season)
Schlupp has looked good when heâs played.
He also wanted to sign Cenk Tosun for us, before leaving and he ended up at Everton as a success.
But for him to âretireâ and then end up at Everton, soured it a bit. However, Iâm glad weâve moved on and heâs no longer our manager.
