I think this sums it up. He could have got more attention outside of Jenkins' shadow this year but wish him all the best.

I'm not a fan of MLS myself. Just can't get into it. The few games I've gone to they just look like they don't care and the atmosphere is crap. The atmosphere is a sticking point for me -- I think that's one of the best things about the sport. (leaving Serie A and Millwall out of it) I get you...

But the English style itself isn't dominant. English football is crap. Their international record tells that story. The big 4 are what? A Spaniard, a Frenchman, a Scotsman, and a Gazillionaire. Those 4 teams are very good, but they're not entertaining to watch play other EPL teams. Except...

European, I prefer Bundesliga (good mix of physicality and ability... can also score goals in more ways than just lobbing the ball from the touchline as often as possible), Eredivisie (when it's a good matchup very high quality of play rife with future stars -- but the bottom half of the league...

No, but I lived there for a couple years and married in... and of course where I was introduced to the sport. JLeague doesn't have nearly as good players as EPL (or europe in general)... but I'd say it's definitely far more entertaining.

uh huh... maybe you should check the quote under my handle and the pic in my profile. If I was into the Irish and Catholic connections, shouldn't I be a domer? :shake: :crazy: Though I'd have to say a proper rendition of Fields is stirring. I don't mind "[censored] the queen" (personally I...

Well, Rangers are shite. You've got me there. :D I probably won't care about Celtic after this season though. When it comes to professional sports, I tend to stick with players more than franchises. It's all Modells' fault.

lol, attempting to troll somebody whose neither Irish nor Catholic ... Pretty pathetic and a maybe even bit racist to assume my religion and nationality just because there's a Celtic avatar. And then to attempt a lame character assassination based on it. I guess that means you don't want to...

Charlie Weiss ??

Last I checked Gerrard and Cronaldo didn't play on the continent mate. :wink2:

Meh. EPL. :sleep1: It's no wonder so many Americans think the sport is boring when they're told the standard is the English variant. Kinda disheartening when a guy with a handle of Messi starts a thread on EPL.

Shanahan was my preferred guy... but it sounds like he's not interested in any of the current jobs. I think his 2week vacation was partially to wait for some playoff teams to possibly go through the system. I wonder if there's a possibility to get him as a GM though too ? Yeah I know, I'm...

That is all of ESPN in a nutshell. It's Mark May, Lou Holtz, Jim Rome, everyone. Say absurd things, get responses... people will keep tuning in. I used to think Herbie was above it, but he's just another troll these days.

I don't think Lerner is that kind of guy. He's just clueless when it comes to sports. He let Aston Villa people take care of Aston Villa because those people were already in place. But with Browns he's basically been starting from scratch and doesn't have the slightest idea what to do. The...

Yes.

All In! All 122 that is... lost 10k on LSU last year and haven't got any back since :sad:

He left it up to the guys who knew soccer -- or at least took heavy advice from them. His HC at Aston Villa was considered a major coup at the time. Martin (the gaffer) took a leave from coaching for a year or two to tend to his terminally ill wife and returned the same time Lerner got involved...

I think you're getting at the difference between speed and quickness. You might have a point on the talent of DLines... but I'm not entirely sold. Though right now it would seem even a DT pairing we all thought was very good here just wasn't that phenomenal... and we haven't even had that at...

Why do you think I also listed relative strength of teams within their own conference? P10 finished higher in their conference than BCS opponents in 2/3 games and lower in none. P10 also played 3rd best team from a midmajor. B10 finished higher in their conference than BCS opponents in 1 game...

If you like the media to do your thinking for you, yes. Which, I suppose, brings us right back to how this thread was started in the first place. :banger:
