I'll bet he doesn't. The sour old git would probably burst a blood vessel. Does this guy also look like a budgie?

Yeah I'll go with Pulis. I fucking hate his teams. Him or Pardew would be lovely.
Not really. He's rather large, and a Charlton fan.
For anyone wavering, here's a reminder why Pardew is always a good choice:
Pulis was seen the other night watching QPR alongside Les Ferdinand. Talk about shameless. I don't think any other manager can match his ability to get his own club and its fans to hate him so much. He should only stay anywhere for a year. He's usually okay for a year, if the club's in trouble, then it's as if the fans wake up from a collective dream and think, 'Bloody hell, we've got Tony Pulis!!!'
I picked Pullis in the pre-season prediction thread.
It's going to happen.
I also picked us to win the League.
This is also going to happen.
The Special One could go if they have a few more defeats in this manner. His had 11 defeats in his last 21 games in the prem managing both Chelsea and Man Utd
He could indeed. It's the first time one of his teams has lost three in a row for a decade, straight after a summer of heavy spending too.
How brilliant would it be if they turn out to have appointed two big name managers in a row just after those managers' sell-by dates?

Don't call him Shirley.
Beautiful.
After a tough start at home with games against Man City and Tottenham, Stoke's run of home games coming up are relatively manageable (WBA, Sunderland, Swansea, Bournemouth, Burnley).
Haven't watch them this season. How much are they missing Butland? Conceded 4 goals in 3 out of 5 league matches.

Hughes really has crashed, but I still fancy Stoke to turn it around.
Hughes is one of those people who seems to stay in football more out of a lack of other options rather than for some deep love of the game. He always seems either bored or miserable, or both, he never seems to enjoy being a manager, his teams never achieve anything and he appears to lack any ability to inspire his players. Even breathing seems a chore to him. Maybe it's because he's Welsh.
They've been trying for some time though;
The whole Mourinho/Manc marriage seems weirdly deluded to me. They both seem to be confused as to what they want. Maureen appears to think he's at some grand old bastion of traditional sporting values rather than a cold and brutal big business, so has taken to wearing suits and trying hard to look more dignified, as if Ginsoak hadn't acted like the polar opposite of Matt Busby throughout his time as boss, while the club itself seems to nervously want Maureen to manage like he hasn't managed for several years now. Fingers crossed the mismatch gets even worse over the coming months.
No chance.
He's actually said in interviews that he doesn't respond to positive stimulus, so a great goal or pass won't affect his passivity, and he only gets animated when he's upset about something, or something goes badly wrong.
Which seems a bit depressing. As you say, Welsh.
Mourinho really has no shame whatsoever. I mean, few managers have much of a sense of shame, but he really seems to have had every trace of it removed. After the midweek match he said: ‘We were trying to win, they were trying not to lose'. That coming from the whopper whose teams have presented 'trying not to lose' as some kind of tactical masterclass. Remember your gorilla-like whooping celebration at Anfield a couple of years ago after 'trying not to lose' saw you fluke a win? What a creep he is.
They're missing him hugely, and it started last season when he got injured. Shay Given (albeit a fine keeper in his time) is over the hill, the rest of the team know it and it's shaken their confidence drastically.
There's not been any goals he has conceded that have looked too obviously his fault - ie he's not made many unforced errors - but some of the goals I've seen him concede are very, very clearly shots he would have saved or got MUCH closer to when he was 30.
Mourinho will be dropping Rooney in the next 2-3 weeks imo ... There is no way he sticks with him - unless it's a request from the board (which I doubt) ... This is the guy who dropped Casillas after all.
He's completely incapable of self analysis, and thus guilty of truly staggering levels of hypocrisy. Weeks before that game in Anfield he had criticised Allardyce for his defensive 'neanderthal' football when West Ham drew at Chelsea as if he was some kind of football purist defending the rights of the punter to entertaining football.
Then he comes to Anfield and has 11 men behind the ball at all times, doing everything to stultify any creativity. In some respects he truly is Fergie's heir, as he was also capable of hitting similarly dizzying heights of hypocrisy. At that stage, of course, the press were still utterly in Maureen's thrall, and were praising his tactical nous and deriding Rodger's naivety.
