The sacking is bizarre. I'm not sure the appointment is. He's a better manager than Watford have a right to expect, IMO

Other than pierson who they took on and sacked before they got relegated, I'd guess ranieri is one of a few managers with experience of Premier league football they have ever hired, they seem to employ people who have enjoyed a decent spell at some Italian or Spanish lower sides or go further afield and employ someone who did well in some obscure Eastern European league

From the outside it's insane to run a football club that way, I guess ranieri knows if he isn't up to scratch he gets the boot with a pay off

Ranieri confirmed 

What a bizarre football club

Aston villa losing to a team in terrible form shocker

File under Sheffield away last season and countless others

Is it an outrageous opinion? It was against some minnows, but Kane appearing to find some form could be a problem. I back us to win but not so much I think it's a problem someone disagreeing

I record against spurs is dreadful, almost as bad as our record v man utd over the last 15 years

Remember being 4-1 up and coming away with a draw

The fact that Katie please I need to remain a d list celeb price will no doubt get a lucrative book and tv show deal after her latest act of crashing a car whilst pissed up

Gary Neville sky podcast where he breaks down all the weekends PL games... 

10 mins of arsenal vs spurs, 5 mins of man utd (literally no mention of us) 3 mins of Chelsea vs man City, 2 mins of Liverpool vs Brentford

Good old sky

I watched it after sky put it under the headline Gary neville discusses your teams weekend result

He didn't mention us once. In fact he didn't discuss the game once, all he talked about was Ole needing to build a team and a style, which is already discussed to death on every football panel show

Hahaha

Just watched the highlights of their game last night - man, that atmosphere is absolutely dead.  Each goal is "celebrated" with an incredibly muted and expectant "yay".

Obviously successful, but what a **** shit club Man City are these days.

I watched it and felt embarrassed at the stadium announcer

"Your Manchester City goalscorer, our number 10 super Jackie Grealish"

JACKIE!

Midweek game, they all at work then watching it in a local before slipping one up a sister in the local bar toilets

Lewis’s head shoved by Max’s tyre. He said his neck is sore

Looks like that would have been a fatal accident if it wasn’t for the halo.

Have you not seen the footage of max spinning his wheels when the car was beached on top of Lewis

As an amusing aside..."What was I supposed to do when 6 of them were away"

He didn't start a single one of the players who was away on international duty  

What difference does it make if he went on holiday or not. A training session could be conducted by Steve Bruce cardboard cutout and a dictaphone of him reciting tactical nous 

"Dust waselfs down"

"Put wor boots on"

"Bypass rhe midfield field. Hit wor big lad up front"

Even the optimist in me can't see anything other than a defeat

Hopefully we get something out the game and not more injuries 

First time in over 2 years I've watched soccer Saturday

Glad Paul merson still thinks it's the merson show screaming goal when someone reporting on a different game

Personally, anyone who voted for this government deserves this baboon

Kimi retiring at the end of the season

Would have won more championships if the mclarems he drove in the 2000s were reliable

He has hardly played the last season or so and had being punditry work on talkshite when he wasn't playing

Basically he is going to work and signing on with them

And what's this welcome home bollocks 

Most self entitled bunch of pricks in football

I hope they get relegated

Not a chance  They owe a majority of debt to the people who own them, they ain't gonna put themselves into administration

preparing for a double relegation

It's almost as if the team that went from league 1 to the Premier league using the same players were massively over achieving and the press were getting carried away with them at time.....

Did some Wikipedia scouting to get the numbers

487 goals in 555 club games, including 398 in 453 for bayern

68 goals in 62 West Germany games 

Won 4 leagues, 4 cups, 3 European cups, 1 cup winners cup, 1 World Cup, 1 euros 

Scored a goal in a euros final, world cup final, 2 European Cup finals and 2 Cup finals 

His goal stats stands up against anyone's in world football 

In an era where football was more tough than today's standards

One player I'd love to have seen in he's prime

I don't know much about this situation, could this be anything to do with the company that actually owns the stadium not being arsed to fix the problems with it? 

They sold the stadium to a company that has connections to the man who apparently owns them
