Rorshach Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I realize my comment could be interpreted negatively. Just want to say I wish him all the best. While I do have (and did have) issues with his management, he was overall a very good manager for Everton for 11 years. Hope he'll succeed! (oh, and turn properly ginger in the process....)

Mr. X Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 TV coverage is split across networks and also streamable live through their apps. Hey, it may be split across networks, but at least it's all on fairly standard national channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 CAF has confirmed that the AFCON 2015 qualifiers as well as the tournament itself will go ahead as scheduled. Morocco however will no longer be the host nation and have been disqualified from the tournament. A new host country is yet to be named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Some of the best young players of the next generation... Some proper talent in here. Joes Angel Tasende has a spectacular hair cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 More British managers need to go abroad. It did wonders for Steve McLaren, although he did balls it up a bit by then jumping ship to Wolfsburg too quickly. Good luck to Moyes. I'm a bit worried that his reputation for building good teams on a budget will struggle on the massively smaller budget that's surely going to be available at Sociedad. That'll make a difference especially in luring players from abroad the way he was able to do excellently at Everton, he ain't gonna have near the wages available to offer. Hope it goes well for him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Mithrandir Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That oke Denzeil Boadu looks the business. Top class work by Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That oke Denzeil Boadu looks the business. Top class work by Arsenal. Yeah man, Boadu is so sharp. Been well impressed every time I've seen him play. Arsenal shouldn't have let him go. ETA: Though i'm not aware of the exact circumstances why he left them so I'll not speculate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex. Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 One of my favourite football sites, These Football Times, are starting up a 10 part feature called World of Ultras next Monday and it looks like it will be great. Not sure I've seen anything like this before and am really excited about learning more about these particular groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Oh, crap. Red Star ultras will be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah, in a few weeks. Think the articles will be aimed more at finding out about the history of the groups rather than persecuting them if that makes sense. Looking forward to the Legia Warsaw and Marseille ones as well.

baxus Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's not persecuting them that I'm worried about. I have more of an issue with them being glorified for all the crap they pull. We're not talking about fans supporting their team here.We're talking about criminals who bully their players, sell drugs, extort money and who knows what else.Let's wait and see, but I'm pretty sure Red Star ultras will not let an opportunity to show off their douchebaggery go to waste. Just to point out, I'd say the same about Partizan ultras since they're all cut from the same cloth.After all, there have been cases of ultras' leaders switching teams.

Alex. Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah I see what you're saying. Not convinced it's about glorifying them to be honest as I don't expect all the bad shit will be cast in a positive light at all. We will see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Good luck to him in Spain I say. Was thrown in over his head at United and received shocking treatment from some senior players there (all of whom are now gone, thankfully). Definitely deserves a fresh start somewhere. Hopefully he'll do very well. San Sebastien is an incredible place as well which is a bonus. In every single way it beats what he could have done, which is wait around for a Premier League club to open up, rock up in Stoke/Crystal Palace etc, be pored over and skewered by a cunty media and never been allowed to rebuild his reputation. Shout out to the Moyesiah for taking a risk like this ETA: I mean, come on, fuck yes look at that! I'd been considering San Sebastian as a holiday destination for 2015 actually. That does look great, and apparently the city itself lends itself well to sightseeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Mithrandir Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'm definitely bookmarking this. I'm particularly looking forward to the Gala one. I'm a bit disappointed that there's no Italian ultras, would have loved to know more about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some on Italian ultras at these links I'd been considering San Sebastian as a holiday destination for 2015 actually. That does look great, and apparently the city itself lends itself well to sightseeing. It truly is very beautiful. The food is outstanding as well.
