As bromances go, we can't say we expected this. But ya know what? It might just be mad enough to

It's past 5 o'clock somewhere, Kickettes.
Consider that an explanation for our poor spelling, lack of coherence and just about anything
else that's horribly wrong after the jump.

Given the furore at Leeds yesterday, we thought it would be fairly timely to
put together Pies' pick of the ten English-based football managers that, for one reason or another,
are almost impossible to foster a begrudging respect for let alone take to your heart.
My name is 'Arry; I'm a cockney, but I'm still 'Not Guilty' The Greg Meyer Column. Greg's at home
this week with legal matters, laying the Law down and highlighting 'Special Ones' from legal eagles
to football managers from here to Madrid. Jose will be as furious after last night's 'El
Classico' as were were on Sunday.
From the outside looking in, everything seems to be fine in Gunner land. King Henry comes back
to save the day with a late winner against Leeds in a 1-0 victory and Arsenal hosts Aston Villa in
the next round of the FA Cup.
However, after reading between the lines, I wasn't too thrilled with Arsene Wenger's pre-game
"motivational speech" to the fans, players, owners, and sponsors.

While the economy in Italy lurches from one crisis to another, there is an export market which
shows no signs of a slump. Across Europe, it seems, there is a prized product of the peninsula
which never sees demand dry up. An unerring rule of the football market appears to have been
established: if you seek success and tactical acumen go out and hire a Italian coach.
1. Wayne Rooney's hair transplant was definitely worth it. His new quiff got the ball rolling for
Manchester United in their match against QPR. 2. The QPR supporters' "Warnock for England" chants
might encourage Blackburn fans to try a change of tactics. Kean for Scotland, anyone? 3. Then
again, if Aston Villa keep putting in [.

After over 12 months out of the game, Martin O'Neill has returned to Premier League management
after signing a three year contract with Sunderland, the team he supported as boy.
For many and certainly for Sunderland fans, it is the perfect appointment, O'Neill has long
since been recognised as one of the great football managers of recent times and has always improved
the standing of any club he has been in charge of.
Boca Juniors were crowned champions of Argentina on Sunday, with two matches left of the 2011
Torneo Apertura. A 3-0 win against Banfield gave Julio César Falcioni's men the title all they'd
needed was a draw. Darío Cvitanich scored ... Continue reading →
Hi everyone,
Having gone through another engaging Premier League weekend, I think that the most talked about
incident is the ''penalty that never was'' in the every so interesting game between title holders
Manchester United and ''hot runners'' Newcastle. This was bound to be a eye catching for the fans
but ever so difficult for everyone involved with the clubs and especially referees.
As ever, there were a number of Argentine goals during the weekend just gone in leagues across
Europe. Oddly, there were none in Mexico this weekend (for the first time since I began accepting
contributions for this post!), so Tom ... Continue reading →
Tottenham fans and the hundreds of thousands of fantasy football managers who own Rafael van der

Brian Howard Clough was a complex character; that goes without saying. But despite the glut of
books about him – and there have been several published this year – none have really examined
his psyche and the intrinsic developments that created one of the most revered, successful and
talked-about football managers of all time [.
Argentina's qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup hit another bump in the road on Friday

Manchester United's long serving manager is considered to be one of the best in the world. He is
at the helm since 1986, and presently has no signs of retiring.
Alexander Chapman "Alex" Ferguson currently has 12 Premier League championships, and helped beat
Liverpool's 18 league championships in 2010-11 season.
Okay, if the next England manager has to be English, who do we choose? Here are some of the
English manager currently employed as football managers (seems like a good filter), in order of
preference (some rational, some not):
Alan Pardew hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Lee Clark knows how to win, was a good player, should be a dark horse, but ideally would have
managed and succeeded in the Premiership.
Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool's players were to blame for the short reign of Roy Hodgson at
Anfield.
Liverpool faced their former manager at West Brom on Saturday evening, less than a year after
Hodgson left the Reds. After a disastrous six-month spell that saw Liverpool lose at home to the
likes of Blackpool and Northampton, Hodgson was replaced by Kenny Dalglish.
Ray Houghton knows all about entertaining football; as part of Kenny Dalglish's lat 1980s Liverpool
team, he was an integral part of one of the most skilful and entertaining Liverpool sides in
history. To be a success at Anfield, the manager has to deliver attractive football, and according
to Houghton, Roy Hodgson's inability to produce that meant he was always destined to fail.
Do I not like those Ex-England manager Graham Taylor has this morning been unveiled as the face of
a new shoe aimed at stopping football managers having embarrassing touchline falls. The Sho'ot was
commissioned by the makers of the Football Manager video game amid concerns that too many gaffers
were being caught out by slick [.
San Lorenzo de Almagro got a 1-0 win over Banfield on Friday evening that lifts some of the
pressure that was coming down on manager Omar Asad's head, thanks to a goal from Juan Manuel
Salgueiro halfway through the second ... Continue reading →
Muhammad Ali tops poll among English football managers
Muhammad Ali floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee and is also the ultimate dinner

Tuesday night saw Argentina's second qualifier for the 2014 World Cup, and an historic result in
Puerto La Cruz. In eighteen previous matches between Argentina and Venezuela, Argentina had won
every single one, but tonight Venezuela played better and got ... Continue reading →
Alejandro Sabella, after playing four friendlies of dubious importance, finally had his competitive
debut as Argentina manager on Friday evening, and it could hardly have gone better. Chile provided
tricky opposition and deserved more for their own efforts, but Sabella's ... Continue reading →
Dinner date with Cassius Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali would be the preferred dinner party guest of
the UK's top football managers, according to a straw poll carried out by Yahoo! Eurosport in

Ali among their three guests.

Although Juventus and Manchester United come from completely different footballing cultures, there
is a remarkable similarity between the two clubs, and not interms of domestic triumphs, European
successes, and being recognized as two of the most popular clubs in their respective countries.
Rather, I'm talking about this season in particular.
The thirty-third episode of Hand Of Pod goes online just before the first leg of the double-header
between Argentina's and Brazil's 'domestic international' teams, and Sam, Dan and Dan look at what
Alejandro Sabella might reveal in these matches. We ... Continue reading →
Chutzpah. It sounds a little like a table sauce for cold meat. ‘Make thanksgiving with Chutzpah'
or, ‘Would you like Chutzpah with that?" Would I?! However, it turns out it's not a bottled
condiment at all, but as Leo Rosten defines in The Joys of Yiddish,"Chutzpah-gall, brazen nerve,
effrontery, incredible guts, presumption plus arrogance such as no other word and no other language
can do.
A little earlier today, Argentina took on Nigeria in the second match of their South Asian 'tour',
in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They won 3-1, with two goals from Gonzalo Higuaín and one from Ángel Di
María. You can watch those goals ... Continue reading →

but brought a victory and a performance no-one had any particular complaints about. Against
Venezuela, one of the (many) shock teams of the ... Continue reading →
I bet many of the managers in English Premier League would like to have one wildcard in their
possession when the season begins. Unfortunately they don't, but the players of fantasy premier
league get, not only one but two wildcards to use. One you can use any time of the season and the
other during gameweeks 20 to 23.
