He didn't celebrate on the pitch at full time. Went down the tunnel. With his long face on Ambition.

I can relate to that a lot. For what it's worth I believe Klopp is also a devout Christian and it certainly doesn't seem to have done him any harm or have caused him any problems relating to players of different beliefs. Lastly, from a footballing point of view how refreshing is it to have a manager who is kept awake at night by only managing a draw?!

His move to Leicester was probably the biggest slice of luck ever to befall a player! What a great bloke and he can look back on his career and point to a medal that very few have got! As honest as the day is long and part of our own story. Good luck Robert. and luck for a club ! Didnt he get a title medal with Chelsea as well ? He got two with Chelsea I believe.

I always thought the whole 'ambition' thing was a convenient excuse which just happened to become a reality. It's always been about greed, plain and simple. Arnie is as bad as his brother, he must be allowing him to say these things in public. Great footballer, greedy and not very likeable human being (IMHO). What an absolute waste if he does end up spending the prime of his career in some sub-standard league full of has been mercenaries.
Serves West Ham right though, and more fool them for falling for all the crossed arms crap.

The fans know a lot more about this club and the team than Rowett, as lifelong supporters it's in our blood. Rowett was here for the money. I think he would probably have quite liked promotion too. He just didn't have the first foggiest clue how to achieve it

I know I've said a few choice words about Rowett. I was ok with him until he made those comments about Bojan. Not because I love Bojan as a player (although I do), but because he's a lad who has spoken openly and bravely about his problems with mental health and how it's hampered his career so far. So what does Rowett see fit to do? Make disparaging comments about him in public for absolutely no reason other than to try to cover for his own inadequacies as a manager. And we know that affected Bojan on some level because he responded to it on social media.
Do I think Rowett is a twat? I don't know, I've never met him. Do I think he behaved like a twat on this occasion? Absolutely.
And believe me when I say I would have no problem telling him that to his face and explaining to him exactly why.
Those paedophile chants are absolutely disgusting though.

His talk after the match was so much of a goodbye he's been training with them all week and will manage them again on Saturday. They're full of bull on that site. We'll see Gary! They did acknowledge that which added to the surprise because the sense was he was about to go on Tuesday night. Nixon's sense seems to have been pretty much the same Suppose it will all come out in the wash soon. I've actually started to feel a bit sorry for him now. Even with the pay-off he's got coming, this is the kind of public ordeal no-one deserves. I didn't think I'd ever say this, but I actually feel a bit sorry for him now too. I dislike him for how he's treated some of the players, so at first I was happy to maybe see him get a bit of his own medicine. But it's gone too far now, and it's painful to see. We need to make a statement either way in my opinion and deal with this in a more dignified way.

He'll be 30 in April and something extra special to fetch £50 million. How many thirtysumthing players have been sold for that kind of money ? I know that was probably a rhetorical question, but I think only Ronaldo. I can't remember anyone else over 30 even coming close to 50 mil.

Maybe it's actually a press conference ABOUT Gary Rowett? Isn't the club tweet saying he's headlining the gig not being decapitated though? Ooh or could it be both? Maybe it's going to be some kind of Gladiatorial thing? 😄

Can I change my prediction? The level of positivity I must have been feeling when I made my original choice is inexplicable. HT: 1-0 FT: 2-1 Got it! I just edited mine to change it, hope that's ok?

So he tells us to get behind the players and then proceeds to do the complete opposite himself. Again.

Absolute legend, not just for Stoke, not just for England, but for world football. And he's a Stokie.
Happy birthday to one of the nicest, most humble people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. And many more!

No more wank dinosaur managers pls Just get a foreign manager for once instead of the clueless gits we had to date There’s a joke in there somewhere: “once there was a Welshman, a Scotsman and an Englishman who managed Stoke ....”. Can’t think of a punch line. As long as it's not "and then they hired a Northern Irishman"... Although really, could MON be any worse?!

Must say, there was a point yesterday that I was tempted (probably through annoyance and anger) to sing along with the Birmingham supporters...... "Gary Rowett, your football is shit" I often randomly sing along when I'm watching on the telly, and I must admit I joined in with that for a good few seconds before I realised it was the Bluenoses, not us.
