2010/2011 UK Football Season Thread

Now watch in awe as the Liverpool fans who were baying for the blood of Benitez (alliteration bonus!) six months ago are queuing up (on /sp/ anyway) to have him back!

I was really hoping that this was true: Rafa Benitez's Inter Milan 'sacking' to clear way for Blackburn manager talks | Metro.co.uk

Benitez being sacked is hilarious though. I think Liverpool would be making a mistake to get rid of Hodgson though, certainly if they were to do so in favour of Benitez. I always felt Liverpool could have done better with someone other than Benitez as their manager and I think, given that there's belt tightening being done at Liverpool right now, Hodgson is the right, safe-pair-of-hands choice for them.

Also what the hell Everton. We can beat Liverpool and Man City and draw with United and Chelsea, yet we can't beat Birmingham, Wigan or Blackpool and got beaten 4-1 by West Brom. What the eff.

Edit: Also, as bad as I feel for Chris Hughton, I'm still slightly glad that Newcastle can provide as much hilarity manager-wise as ever. Here's hoping King Kev comes back next season.
