Sounds like the smart choice ...at 46 is young ...
Won Europa 3 times in a row over quality opposition at Sevilla

PSG days were mixed but at least he has experience at that level in charge

Only a club looking to go bankrupt would go near Arthur Daley

If you didnt like Arsenal what better gift than the wheeler dealer running amok collecting bungs for his dog Rosie , winning nothing but playing with style and leaving with a golden handshake.

Given whose been in charge of late this is a step in the right direction

A Manager with credentials that will attract the right kind of players
that comes to play and attack

If West Hams wages are right they shouldnt be mid-table or higher
not relegation threatened.

Juventus are now at 34 titles in Italy but they are still losers on the European stage. Serie A is weak and even if the battle was closer that this year than that of in other major leagues like BPL or La Liga or Bundesliga the point is that Juventus win because they have a weak opposition. Also it doesn't serve them in the Champions League winning easily every weekend. Juventus are a city team that doesn't fare well beyond the boundaries of Italy. I'm not bashing them, it's a fact. Two wins in 1985, 1996 and seven losses in 1973, 1983, 1997, 1998, 2003, 2015, 2017 and they will lose the next time they will be in the finals. Milan will win the cup before them.

Several players from teams in Peru's group have signed a letter asking for him to be reinstated.

Another middling season for us in Watford. But we would rather not be in the position Charlton Athletic are when their fans were upset at finishing in midtable with regularity.

Amazing how clubs still seek to appoint the same managers over and over again without taking a punt on some younger blood. Redknapp was a charlatan and fraud and Marco Silva is in the same sort of class. Snake is his new nickname in these parts and I hope we get the compensation from Everton for disrupting our season so badly last season.

As for players missing the World Cup like Alves for Brazil through injury Sergio Romero misses out for Argentina. A blessing in disguise as this should promote the best keeper outside of Europe Franco Armani to the number one spot.

Once again some bizarre omissions from teams mainly for off the field reasons. Nainggolan for Belgium and Icardi for Argentina. Considering the latter was up against triple choker Higuain the mind boggles. Sampaoli has also selected a squad short of defensive midfield cover and missing several better players in defence and midfield. For example Asascibar is omitted albeit a kid still for Biglia while Rojo gets in ahead of one of the best serie A defenders this season German Pezzella.

Strange selection policy matches perfectly with this - smells like fake news but...

It's not going to be the same without the italians getting dodgy decisions to keep them in the tournament or the dutch imploding or without the bbc/itv commentators telling us how technically gifted these players are.
