Steve Bruce lost 4 out of 5 as West Brom manager and winless in 15 this season. He's just an unlucky manager
though.

Not Klopp? Won all his games?

Though Newcastle are doing well.

Arguably, but more expected from Klopp given the respective positions.

Newcastle spend more money than any club in world football in January and yes they are doing well. West brom only spent £7m on one striker in January and he got injured after only two games. They did get Andy Carroll on a free a player who we both know is now shit. They started falling down the table and sacked the manager. Bruce has come in not managed to turn it around in the month he has been there.

I do agree with you Eddie Howe has done a good job at a club that has a real feel good factor now Ashley has sold it and the squad is energised by the new era and new signings. However West Ham are the only side they played in February who are not in the bottom half of the table and all but one of those teams are in relegation trouble.

Manager of the month for me is Sean Dyche who has taken Burnley from the bottom of the table with 1 win all season to winning 2 games in February and only 1 defeat. They have now gone from relegation certainties to having a very good chance of staying up. Or maybe Bruno Lage as the only game Wolves played in February that they didn't deserve to win was away to West Ham in their last game and they (thankfully) rested players for that game. All but one of the teams they played were top 7 clubs .

Footballer Goodwillie loses a civil case for rape. He signs for Clyde afterwards and plays for them for 5 years with everybody knowing what has happened. He then signs for another club and all their sponsors and fans say they are not having it. So that club loans him back to Clyde. Virtue signalling now takes off with the female team all resigning and sponsors cancelling as well as the council saying they will not renew the clubs licence to play at their ground.

I thought seizing the money of Russian billionaires was extreme virtue signalling but this takes the biscuit.

To be fair, I woudln't call this virtue signalling. Theya re actually taking action agauinst a rapist playing at their club. Though why no action was take when he first signed for Clyde suggests it's done for virtue signalling type reasons.

FIVE YEARS HE PLAYED FOR THEIR CLUB


They knew what he had lost the civil case for and had he not got a transfer last summer he would still be playing for their club and so would they. And the council wouldn't have been threatening to make the club homeless. It's virtue signalling write large

the sponsors kinda get a pass because whatever tey sa for the it's really just business

That's my point. Those protesting the 2nd club are fine, fans etc taking action against the club over signing a rapist isn't virtue signalling. The Clyde club though probably is a syou said they didn't do anything for the first 5 years.

Sorry but I didn't realise that was your point as I thought it obvious it was the people at the club he played for for five years who were virtue signalling. in my original post I did point out that virtue signalling only took off when he returned to Clyde

I think he first game for Clyde was just when the Ched Evans retrial started and Jessica Ennis had her name removed from the Sheffield Wednesday stand and they lost sponsors and women's groups were boycotting their games. They clearly didn't give a shit then

So what is your point? Were the club incorrect in not taking action then or taking action now? Youre just jabbering.

I think he's saying they are ony taking action for the most cynical of reasons. Which kinda means the culture and environment that allowed him to play hasn't really changed. So this could lead to more parallel awful decisions still being amde for success and money.

Fair enough, probably true.

There is no way anyone can create a connection between the Glazers and Vlad, is there? Asking for a friend.

I'm sorry anon... lucky win today...

Oh and the toon roll on (looking safe now) and Steve Bruce gets a win!

Famous last words there Winger, but good win considering by all accounts you got battered for most of the match.

Felt bad for Leeds today. Played really well and got nothing for it.

Luis Diaz looks a very classy player.

Yeah, was a scrappy game. We were comfortable first half but Brighton were the better side in the second and we held on.
We're 7 points clear of relegation now and would (fingers crossed) be the first team in premier league history to avoid relegation after being winless after 14 games.
A difficult run of 4 games away at Southampton, Chelsea, Everton and Spurs.

Leeds are looking very dodgy at the minute and I think it's between them and Burnley to go down.

Luis Diaz looks class and another good win for Liverpool which keeps the title race interesting.

Big turnaround for Leeds though. They have been getting absolutely hammered and let in at least 3 goals in each of their previous 5 games. So they may be able to save themselves.

It wasn't actually anti Ukraine it was just showing support for a man who has pledged to give everything from the sale of Chelsea to a fund for Ukraine. That should be well over £2 billion

And they could have done that during the game rather than showing themselves up.
And net proceeds will be interesting as no way anyone is paying the reported £4bn. He bought the club for £140m and he has ploughed £1.5bn into it. I'm aware he's saying he's going to write off the £1.5bn but will be interesting to see if that come off the net proceeds. So if he gets £2bn then that figure could be more like £350m.

OK you seem sceptical he is going to write off the money he is owed. It's way more than £1.5 b he has put into the club. That was just the debt the club was carrying which he had to convert to a loan (can't remember why and can't be bothered to look it up.) Anyway lets just say he only gets £200m for the club. He is still not putting it in his sky rocket which I guess is more than any other individual person in this world has promised to donate to the victims in Ukraine.

They are football fans FFS. It not like you are complaining about you club being taken over by a regime that tortures people, sent a hit squad to murder Jamal Khashoggi, beheads people and stones women to death for adultery.

And people try to make me feel bad because West Ham are owned by a maker of dildos

It's for both Ukraine and Russia and it is a very good gesture. I'm just saying they could have held off during the minute tribute. I agree that the vast majority of fans don't care about ownership as long as the owners pump money into their clubs.

I agree... Doing it during the one minute tribute to Ukraine was deliberately provocative.

You have to feel a bit sorry for Scotland and Wales. They do brilliantly to get into the World Cup qualifiers playoffs. They then get put into a pool with Ukraine. The entire world now wants the best for Ukraine. Scotland and Wales can’t win.

Chelsea fans acting like wankers? Who saw that coming.....

4-0 Jesus.

Spurs look good going forward and Kane looks so far the best player on the pitch it’s not funny.

Everton in this form are joining Leeds, Norwich, Burnley and Watford in a relegation fight. Pickford hasn’t been great, but my god Coleman’s legs are gone and Everton are opening up like a sieve.

5-0

Kane what a goal.

Kane on form is incredible. Everton look in trouble and little arms has been poor. NIck Pope is England's best keeper anyway (maybe Henderson if he ever got enough game time).

Little arms

Kane in this mood is unplayable. Also Aaron Ramsdale is the best English gk.

Everton’s midfield is non existent. I do like the look of Anthony Gordon though. Seems to have something about him, skillful, works very hard and creates chances. Couple of years time he might be around the England setup.

Think Leeds with Jesse Marsch will stay up. Everton or Burnley for the drop it seems.

Gordon looks decent. Glad we didn't end up going in for Dele Alli, rumours of a very poor attitude surfaced and not even sure Frank has started him in a game yet. Turned up to training at Everton in a Rolls says all you need to know.
I think Norwich and Watford are down and the 3rd is very much in the balance.

Forgot about Ramsdale. Just google Pickford "Dinosaur arms"

My god.

PSG capitulating . They’ve been so dominant and they’ve gone sleepwalking.
