General Football 2013

[Shaggy]

Ball was ruled out because when being interviewed he kept repeating Geoff Shreeves' questions.

Sounds like Poyet has got a three year deal.

[baitman]

if this means we dont have to have poyet on motd then this is a bonus.
its a pain to watch motd with the subtitles on

[Chazza]

He speaks good English.

What?

[Shaggy]

What?

Never see his interviews on Sky? First he did it when they played us, then on Sunday against the Mancs.

Shreeves would ask him a question and Ball answered by repeating it. He did it multiple times

[Fivex]

: weird.

Nah I dropped Sky this season so streams only for me (unless it's on BT)

[-V-]

Poyet is a mistake, they will go down

[baitman]

He speaks good English.

it sounds like spanglish, i am almost trying to lip reading him as i find it hard to understand him.

[john316]

He speaks good English.

I can barely understand a sentence he ever says. Should have been subtitled on TV!

[Darkon]

Poyet confirmed today, think he is a good choice but he unfortunatly stands in front of an impossible task of getting so many new faces to play football together, without any selection of them.

I'm afraid it's a poorer choice of Poyet taking the job, than Sunderland appointing him.

[Muddled]

Agreed.

I suppose it's easier looking from the outside, but if he could have held on for another opportunity (maybe Swansea if Laudrup is tempted abroad in the summer).

Perhaps Poyet felt the way he left Brighton would restrict his chances of managing in the Premiership and needed to take the first chance that came up? Who knows, I guess. But you're right; Poyet needs some stability and a backbone of a squad that can play football on the ground. Now he needs funds and plenty of time to tear it up and start again.

[Darkon]

It's suicide for anyone bar a survivalist specialst manager that can get the mental aspect and strict organization working.

[Liverpel]

WALES striker Craig Bellamy will retire from international football at the end of the World Cup qualifying campaign next week.

Jack Wilshere in an England for the English rant.

The 21-year-old Arsenal player added: "If I went to Spain and lived there for five years, I'm not going to play for Spain."

Sorry Jack, but I don't think you would be playing for Spain even if you were born there to Spanish parents

Ahh....the local team for local people Was wondering when that would come up.

Tbf, Iceland lost one of it's best strikers to the USA, which I'm a bit peeved off at. The USA count 300 million and we are 300.000, I think they should be able to develop their own players.
