Football Banter

keep hearing Klopp name mentioned you know the one currently bottom of the bundesliga Wenger will never be sacked if arsenal fail to make top 4 then will proberly be moved upstairs

Good to see pardew get as he was getting a load of stick now the fickle newcastle fans are happy again for at least a week

It is good to see owners stay strong. Mike Ashley has stood behind him before. They are now reaping the rewards.

Same at Westham both Gold and Sullivan stood by big Sam when they were in serious relegation trouble last season and he kept us up. They at the start of this season told Sam that they wanted him to keep us up and play football people want to see. The media all said it was a disgrace and that they were trying to get him to resign through meddling. Look at westham now. Sometimes owners don't get enough credit for keeping faith when everyone is baying for the managers blood.

Why do footballers have Christmas party's at the most fashionable and public places.
Firstly. People have camera phones they can use to put on twitter showing the footballers in a bad light.
Secondly do they honestly not realise that fans of rival teams might be present and therefore start trouble.? Why they can't hold it privately is beyond me

Footballers are only human, nothing wrong with them having a good time in my opinion

I understand where you are coming from fernandez but why can't they have it privately with their wives girlfriends etc at a private do? I can imagine that the main reason being because their wives and girlfriends would cramp their style whilst out on the pull.

Why don't you have your christmas party in private? I mean how dare you have a christmas party in public...?

I really don't understand what the point is you are trying to make?

What I am trying to say is that they should keep it in house. Either have it at one of the staff house or book a private room and have strictly staff friends wives girl friends etc.
Therefore it should reduce the Potential for aggravation.

Usually footballers Christmas party's involve pub crawls finishing off at the most popular fashionable night clubs. So therefore the chances of getting unwanted publicity is high. That was my point.

**BREAKING NEWS**BREAKING NEWS**
Hereford United have been suspended from playing all football matches with immediate effect by the Football Association after failing to comply with the Owners’ and Directors’ Test Regulations.
The Southern League Premier Division side is accused of not disclosing all the appropriate documents to the Independent Regulatory Commission concerning its majority shareholder Alan McCarthy.
As a result, he has been charged with acting as an officer of Hereford United without written consent and both parties have been suspended from all football and football activity with immediate effect.
The ban will remain in place until the Independent Regulatory Commission is satisfied that all matters are resolved and the corresponding documents are all in place.
“The FA will continue to work with all relevant parties to ensure senior football returns to Hereford at the earliest opportunity, although this will be contingent on the club complying with the regulations and subsequent orders of the Independent Regulatory Commission,” an FA statement read.
As it stands, Hereford’s visit to Dunstable on Saturday is off with major doubts over their upcoming fixtures at home to Hitchin and the Boxing Day trip to Redditch.
