Hahaha what

This is Pulis about Jewell just a week ago:

Tony Pulis said:
‘Jewely’ is someone I have known for a long time. We got to know each other on coaching courses as well as in opposition – he has massive experience and when I thought about what I wanted for this post, he fitted the bill perfectly.

I’m delighted we have got him and I am sure the players will enjoy working with him. There are one or two other things we shall be putting in place over the next few days before everything is settled.

That spine sounds like it could be one of the best in the EPL indeed!

Its really hard to judge it tbh

Compared to the likes of Chelsea, City, and theoretically Man Utd its nothing all that great, and we haven't really seen it without Suarez and Gerrard (the latter maybe makes them perform worse rather than better at this stage)

Henderson keeps being moved around, and Sturridge has played 3 games all season (fucking hell)

But they must be a massive pain in the arse to play against when the setup is right. They all try and play at a ridiculous pace, they're all comfortable running with the ball, they all buzz around trying to find space constantly, and they're all very good at short passing and moving.

The trouble is getting them on the ball with enough space to threaten. We've been poor at that this season, better recently, but those first few months we were so, so poor in attack.

More on WBA/Jewell

Daily Mail said:
Sportsmail understands that Jewell feels the club reneged on their original contract offer, asking the former Wigan, Ipswich and Derby manager to accept less money than originally agreed to accommodate Gerry Francis as a further member of Tony Pulis' coaching staff.

While a contract had not been signed, all the fiscal terms had been agreed and sources claim that Jewell had begun working on that basis only to discover that the club had unilaterally altered his payment.
Indeed, a draft contract had been sent to Jewell by the club, only for Jewell to then receive a request to accept a reduction in his pay to cover the additional expense of hiring Francis."

It does seem odd though, that they wouldn't be able to afford more coaches. They fired their goalkeeping coach, but haven't replaced him, so that's one more spot that would need to be filled still.

If they're having that much trouble with wages, Pulis won't last long. There must be more to it.

did we sign coleman or laporte yet?

Defoe for Altidore was a swap deal lol, who in their right mind would actually swap for Altidore. Sunderland should have just sold him to some dutch club, it's the only place he's been able to score goals.

I like that Man United shirt. It's 90s as fuck. Now people just have to buy it in sizes 2x larger than they actually wear.

Yeah, the adidas kits have become incredibly tight. Used to wear M for years but since 2014, it's at least a size larger.

My nonna gave me a fake Zola Chelsea shirt from Parma one year.

Speaking of Italian teams that start with P, I have a soft spot for Palermo as they used to be great for me in Fifa when i wanted to beat the usual cocky madrid/barca cunts

"Paul Jewell walked out on West Bromwich Albion after being asked to take a pay cut.
Jewell has quit the Hawthorns just seven days after his appointment and is now taking legal advice following his surprise departure.
Telegraph Sport has discovered that Tony Pulis’s assistants Jewell and David Kemp were both asked to slash their salaries to ensure Gerry Francis could be added to the backroom staff.
Jewell agreed a two-and-a-half year deal worth around £250,000 a year last week but was then told he would need to take a cut so Francis could come on board."

Fair enough really, it would be a bit humiliating. Basically been asked to subsidise Francis' wages who is coming in to do the same job as him.

The West Brom management sound fairly inept.

Haha, no problem m8. I had just woken up and could've used a bit more sleep so when I called it quits 20 minutes after I fell asleep like a log.

If I just had held on 15 more minutes :(

I could potentially play now during lunch break. You're probably not up for it though, I guess it's very late there right now.

We can try another day. Maybe tmrw same time.

I try and stay away from there. makes me want to do bad things.

Just saw your post in there. I have the Japanese version of Liar game. is it good? i am gonna watch that before hitting the Korean one.

Its pretty good. Especially the first season!

The Korean version seems much different so far. But I only watched 30 min of the first episode.

I never watch Juventus play because of Pogba, it's too painful. Rafael and Park Ji Sung at CM christ all mighty.

I couldn't watch United play for a long time when we sold you RvP, and RvP isn't even beautiful. I hope you get through this difficult time.

Why did you stop posting in the KPop thread, Sal?

Comes a point where every PhD student looks at the task ahead of them and thinks it just ain't gonna happen. That panic coincided with some more personal miseries and hilarities and I figured I should limit myself to football. Football is, after all, a weekly and seasonal spasm. Kpop is all the time.
