The Managerial Sack Race

[Shaggy]

Yep. What a load of bollocks

There has always been this story circulating in football that Nigel Pearson, Leicester City’s record-breaking manager, once fought a bear in Romania. It wasn’t a bear. It was a pack of five vicious dogs and they almost killed the backpacking Pearson.

Pearson had done his research three years ago before boarding the rattler from Sheffield to London, the Eurostar to France and then trains across Europe and deep into the Carpathian mountains. He’d read up on these dogs who inhabit the area, protecting their owner’s sheep, regularly killing bears and occasionally attacking hikers.

Pearson was walking alone when confronted by the pack. One dog went straight for him, trying to occupy his attention while the other four circled behind, looking to bite his legs. Pearson blinded a couple with his walking pole, then fended the others off before diving into stinging nettles. The dogs loathe these because of their sensitive noses.

It went quiet and Pearson thought the dogs had gone. So he set off walking again but the pack was waiting, and attacked again. Sweat pouring off him, Pearson backed up against a tree and poked with his walking pole at the eyes of the dogs until they gave up, leaving him to his walking holiday.

He loves a walk.

The Managerial Sack Race

There is a web view option? I've never noticed it.



And I can't check it now because it has booted me out of my account and I need to reset my password.

On iOS but I'd guess there's something similar for android - you can press the three dots top right for this menu and view the whole thread, renders for me within TT itself;



Or you can press on the post itself and access web view via the floating menu, and as its a single post it then autoplays.



And it's actually 2 button presses to play the vine rather than 3.

Lineker seems to know his eggs with regards to Leicester. No point in him lying.

Pearson will be out by the weekend IMO.

[Fivex]

Knows his eggs.

[Alex]

Not heard that before?

[Fivex]

Nope. You sure you know your eggs from your onions?

[Alex]

I think its a local thing, my Dad says it

[Fivex]

Maybe he's lost his tiddlywinks?

[Alex]

Nope, no clue on that one

Pearson seems such a cunt. So full of himself, so smug. Anyone heard his outlandish claims of fighting off a pack of wild dogs while out hiking alone in the wilds of Romania?

i actually burst out laughing reading this

[McDermotX]

Am I the only one who thinks that he was nowhere near 'grabbing his neck' as has been reported?

Well, it was weird if only judged by the strange look on his face as he went to grab him, but still not as odd as the prolonged hold of the player's shirt after he got up...........that was just creepy.

[Fivex]

Could be worse.

I just thought of Phil Brown's story on the Humber Bridge!
