BenSmithBBC: Moyes currently 200-1 with one bookie to be the next Stoke manager. Martin Johnson & Warren Gatland are 5,000-1 (no joke).

Lol

Moyes must be kicking himself, taking the United job early without seeing whats out there.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Must be Martin O'Neill surely?

 

[Sleeplessnights]

What about all the other days in the year when it does all the other things phones do?

Then there's no need to have a Windows Phone specifically. And other phones do phoning better.

 

[Zabojnik]

Yes, apparently Allegri will be sacked, and Seedorf will be the replacement.

I'd say I wish you better luck with Seedorf than we've had with Ferrara, but ... Well, good luck.

How good is Jovetic?

He's alright.

 

[phaze]

Eboue's post title winning interview involves him picking up the interviewer and then lying next to him on the floor, obviously.

I miss him. Well, not as a football player.

He is so incredibly funny.

[/IMG]

What a character. :lol

<3 him and his antics

This only proves how none of the clubs can think long term. ^^

Suarez has renewed his box at Anfield for next season.

Hopefully a good sign he's going nowhere.

Newcastle United's Alan Pardew is the 2nd longest serving manager in the Premier League.

Well that's a matter of opinion. Mine has yet to let me down.

That's the scene I was telling you about! Continuity error.

 

[KidA Seven]

He really is.

Team will fall apart without him.

Don't worry brah. You will have the Mexican Varane next season.

 

[Arnie]

Suarez has renewed his box at Anfield for next season.

Never in doubt.

 

[Feorax]

Never in doubt.

That's the good news.

In slightly more mixed news, Bosnian news outlet Avaz has stated Begovic has agreed to move to Liverpool.

Will see if I can get a translation for the article later on.

Can we start betting how many games he'll be suspended next season?

None. Didn't you see him say he's a changed man?

Red cards: 0
Matches suspended for: 20+

 

[phaze]

Yes.

Seriously ? :lol

 

[Saiyar]

Newcastle United's Alan Pardew is the 2nd longest serving manager in the Premier League.

At the start of next season the length of time Wenger will have been at Arsenal will almost be equal to the length of time all other premier league managers have spent at their current clubs.

 

[Messi]

Flicked over and man I'm fucked depressed. Fuck you football.

Sorry man it was meant to be

I don't even remember even seeing that game. I was 11 years old

Oh yes.

Pretty awesome. I like Wenger a lot.

 

[derExperte]

Well that's a matter of opinion. Mine has yet to let me down.

Same goes for my 620. The iPhone 5 of my father on the other hand... and my older Xperia wasn't the bee's knees either. Still like my Nexus 7 and if you're an app-maniac WP certainly isn't the best choice but it's great otherwise imo.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

As close as he'll get to a CL trophy.

He probably walks past it every fortnight

And we'll win it next season when we get given someone's spot. UEFA realise that the competition needs players like Coutinho to attract viewers

 

[spidye]

Oh yes.

:lol

Manchester City Football Club are proud to announce, in partnership with the New York Yankees, the acquisition of the Major League Soccer&#8217;s 20th expansion club.

The new team will be named New York City Football Club (NYCFC) and expects to begin play in 2015.

&#8220;We proudly welcome two of the most prestigious professional global sports organizations to Major League Soccer,&#8221; said MLS Commissioner Don Garber.

This is a transformational development that will elevate the league to new heights in this country. The New York area is home to more than 19 million people­, and we look forward to an intense crosstown rivalry between New York City Football Club and the New York Red Bulls that will captivate this great city.&#8221;

&#8220;New York is a legendary sports town, as well as a thriving global city with a rapidly expanding soccer fan-base,&#8221; said Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City Football Club, who will oversee the process of filling top New York City FC leadership positions in the weeks to come.

&#8220;We are thrilled to contribute to the energy and growth of New York City Soccer. In the Yankees, we have found the absolute best partner for developing a world-class sports organization and a winning team that will carry the New York City Football Club name with pride.&#8221;

Manchester City will be the majority owner of the new Club. As an investor, the Yankees will be an active member of the ownership group. The New York Yankees and Manchester City Football Club have an existing commercial relationship through Legends Hospitality, LLC, an international entertainment, hospitality and marketing organization.

Yankee Stadium is pleased to be hosting Manchester City on Saturday, May 25 for a &#8220;friendly&#8221; match against Chelsea FC, giving New York area fans a rare opportunity to see two outstanding English Premier League clubs up close.

&#8220;We are pleased to be associated with this major move by MLS to increase its presence in the New York market and to enhance the opportunity for New York soccer fans to enjoy high-level play in their own city. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Manchester City to create something very special for the soccer fans of New York -- and to bringing another terrific team to this city for all sports fans to enjoy,&#8221; said Hal Steinbrenner, managing general partner of the New York Yankees.

"Randy Levine, president of the New York Yankees, will be the point person in leading the effort to launch and establish the team on behalf of the organization,&#8221; Mr Steinbrenner added.

With millions of residents watching soccer every week and nearly two million people actively playing the game, the New York/New Jersey area is one of North America&#8217;s most vibrant and proud soccer communities. The region has filled stadiums for countless marquee soccer events including the 1994 FIFA Men&#8217;s World Cup, the 1999 FIFA Women&#8217;s World Cup, three MLS All-Star Games and numerous international exhibition matches. NYCFC becomes the first MLS club whose home will be located within the five boroughs, joining the Red Bulls as the second MLS club in the metropolitan area.

&#8220;Soccer is one of the world&#8217;s most exciting and popular sports, and it should be played on the world&#8217;s biggest stage -- in New York City,&#8221; said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. &#8220;New Yorkers are the greatest sports fans in the world, and they will welcome a Major League Soccer franchise with the full-throated and loyal support they are famous for. Manchester City has a great reputation for both winning teams and serious community investment, and that will help them fit in well with the excellent leadership of New York City&#8217;s other professional sports teams. Increasingly, sports events and activities -- from the NHL playoffs to the MLB All-Star game to the SuperBowl -- are spurring economic growth, as our investments in new arenas and infrastructure are paying off.&#8221;

Future: A Home Field for NYC&#8217;s Newest Team

New York City FC is committed to seeking a new permanent stadium in New York. Until that time, the new team is arranging to play in an interim home beginning in its inaugural MLS season in 2015. Over the past year, MLS began discussions with the City of New York and other stakeholders about the possibility of constructing a new stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park (FMCP) in Queens. The Club&#8217;s new management will continue these discussions with local government officials, community residents and businesses, soccer leagues, and MLS. The Club will continue to review other potential sites as well.

&#8220;New York City FC will have a permanent home in the City in the great traditions of New York sports and world soccer -- a home that must be a sports, commercial and civic success,&#8221; Soriano said.

&#8220;But in considering any stadium site, we will listen first. This is what we have always done in Manchester and what we will do in New York. Only in this way, can the Club truly represent the City whose name it will carry.&#8221;

MLS was advised by Joe Ravitch and the Raine Group on this transaction.

I want either Liverpool or Arsenal to win the league next season. It's only fair.

Or United to win the triple if they end up with Marchisio.

I came from Android and have regular use of iPad and iPhone. I honestly like all the platforms. Each has their strong points. Although, as much as WP8 is my personal favorite, I've said before I would only recommend them to a certain type of person.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL Pasqual

Fiorentina’s Manuel Pasqual “With a few more penalties Milan could have almost won the Scudetto this season,” he smiled. “Joking aside, it is obvious that penalties did give Milan a helping hand.

“Balotelli scored more goals from the penalty spot than he did in open play.”

 

[Wilbur]

Congratulations DC on putting the legendary NY Cosmos out of business.

 

[Saiyar]

Pretty awesome. I like Wenger a lot.

Another one I saw mentioned.

If Mourinho returns to Chelsea he will be the second longest serving manager. If Wenger does leave for PSG then Mourinho becomes the longest serving manager.

I'll miss Anthony Christmas It's a shame he peaked late.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

The best part: Seedorf is attending a "coach course" in Brazil right now but, even if he completes it, his certificate wouldn't let him manage teams in the Serie A/PL/Liga/Bundes and so on. So, he'd have to attend another course in Italy and complete it before the CL playoffs.

Master plan.

Hoping a club legend will also make for a good manager is like playing Russian roulette, but it can pay off.

The premise is clever (I think I saw it mentioned in the reading thread), but how good are we talking here? On a scale from GRRM cliffhanger fun to bland Sanderson fanfic?
