11/12 Premier League thread

Steve McClaren hired as Nottingham Forest coach... wonder how that'll turn out.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I hope he succeeds. I wonder how Sandeep would like Mcliesh as the new manager of Aston Villa?

 

[Pittsey]

My dad is a Villa fan, he said it wouldn't bother him that he was from Birmingham if he was convinced he was the right guy for the job.

 

[DPG iz all I C]

McLaren to Forest is a good appointment. I like McLaren a lot, particularly since he went abroad and tried his hand rather than float around the bottom half of the Premiership like most other English managers seem content to do.

Villa must be off their fucking heads to try and appoint McLeish. I can't even comprehend why they would want to hire him. His tactics and player selection are baffling at times.

Agreed, the same can be said for a lot of English players also.

Mcleish is a defensive sort of manager, he sets up not to lose, which i don't think he can do with Aston Villa's squad.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Villa need a strong manager though. apparantly there are some serious rifts and indiscipline in that squad.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

McLeish is not the man for the job. the squad is not suitable for the tactics he employs. and he has been relegated twice with birmingham.. the wrong end of the table..

^hey cocksucker, there's a bday thread made for you. be respectful.

sorry i cant help but laugh. Villa fans turned their noses up at Rafa Benitez when he was mentioned and now it looks like you will end up with McLeish

Or you could look at it like this.

Even Alex Mcleish is a better manager than Rafa. Fuck me he has sunk to a new low.

Liverpool 11/12 Adidas Third Football Kit

This is the new Liverpool 11/12 third football kit made by Adidas, which will be available here.
Liverpool have turned the clock back almost 120 years for the inspiration behind their brand new third kit for the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League campaign.
The third choice strip for the new season is white, cyan and black in colour, with the inclusion of cyan blue a throwback to Liverpool's first ever home kit back in 1892 which incorporated alternate white and blue halves.
With the design inspiration taken from the classic tracksuit tops worn by the famous Liverpool teams of the mid 1980s, this brand new kit presents a modern look whilst giving a nostalgic nod to the club's illustrious past.
This new kit is officially launched on Thursday July 14, but you can pre-order today for worldwide launch day delivery.

It's not big news or anything, and I know it's the 3rd kit - but why blue?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Looks like the Marseille kit

 

[Bobby Sands]

yea it does lol

i think its the season after next that Warrior start manufacturing Liverpool jerseys. Be interesting to see what they will be like.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Marseille is just what i was thinking.

Andre Villas Boas (Porto) is Chelsea's new manager.

 

[Pittsey]

^^
Hasn't been confirmed yet has it?

I also heard Man United were interested in Xavi Alonso.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

His buy out clause is ridiculous!

Oh, it's been confirmed.. It's been supposedly 'agreed' on, and most of the media is saying the deal is done.

His buy out clause is ridiculous!

What was it about 14.5 Mil? Something like that, I think?

 

[THEV1LL4N]

£13.5m

Villa's new away kit will be unveiled tomorrow. i hope the black away 10/11 kit becomes the 11/12 third kit as it was released in mid-November due to Nike delaying it twice.

Chris Hughton is blues' new manager. Just glad to see someone i like (Zola; and i don't mind Di Mattero) become their manager.

Joel want's 4-5 new players.

 

[Pittsey]

^^

Joel?

You mean Martin Jol? And it took me a while to guess you meant him.
