They were the ones that put it out there chatting over the stump mic trying to get him stitched up by the media. Scummy thing to do, not surprised our lot are wound up by it.
A large part of that was when they cruised the end of last season with nothing to play for. As for this, they started with 8 pts from 5 then yeah they've been on a bad run. He's been on similar before and his teams tend to grind out a couple of results from somewhere and turn it around. Hey, I...
Was pretty much what happened when he first took over though, was it not? But yeah that's a fair point. In which case it's not even a safe option!
Such a boring, uninspired appointment. Amazed given the reasoning for his sacking they didn't either go for someone from Europe or an up and comer...
I really don't get why you'd sack Pulis if you're just going to replace him with Pardew. If you're not willing to take a bit of a risk or go for something a little different why would you make the change? Pulis wasn't taking them down. Pardew's record shows they'll have some good runs, some bad...
When I ran one of these ages back there always used to be a mad rush at the end whenever you set the deadline (meaning you had to redo all the results :lac:)
Hoping for the same here guys. My body is ready
Wow just looking at the schedule though are there some good games coming up in the NFC these next 2 weeks!
Vikings @ Falcons
Panthers @ Saints
Eagles @ Seahawks
Followed by:
Saints @ Falcons
Vikings @ Panthers
Eagles @ Rams
Wouldn't put money on it, but I do think they're flying under the radar.
And tied for the division, one win back from Minnesota who still have to travel to Charlotte (and Atlanta), far from beyond question they'll gain home advantage. Fancy them to beat the Saints next week.
Can't really see...
Doesn't have to be entirely unreasonable to be pessimism. Almost 2 pts per game nearly halfway into the season and you're writing off the playoffs? Just face it mate, you're miserable as fuck ;)
Carolina would be my dark horses now they've got a running game going. Newton blowing so hot and cold holds them back but I'd fancy him to turn it on should they make the playoffs, and when he does they're hard to stop. That defence is as good as anybody
So close. Nick that and we were right back in the hunt with Rodgers potentially coming back earlier than expected. How was that helmet shot on Hundley not called at the end?! Difference between a 1st on the 35 and a 2nd on the 15 was huge at that stage.
Feel like Jones and Williams are going to...
From the outside, Weds seem to have fallen into the trap that a lot of teams with money do, splashed out on a load of names with no real vision as to how they're going to fit together as a team. A lot of signings that looked good on paper but weren't really necessary or to any real plan and now...
Wasn't without encouragement but once on the back foot we just completely fell to pieces. Doesn't bode well.
Hard to see how we're going to take 20 wickets when they know they just have to see off Anderson and Broad. The rest need to step up, Woakes particularly. Not sure Ball cuts it at Test...
