The Man Who Put A Smile On The Face Of All Who He Met

Good morning.

Two bits of footage for you this morning. The first is of a man that many fancied to manage Tottenham when Arry was binned. Ladies and gentlefolk I give you Brendan Rodgers. A man who makes David Brent look like Albert Einstein.

Being: Liverpool episode 4 airs tomorrow night on Channel 5 but I have the full show for you clicky and at 43.21 is the bit where Brent Brendan produces 3 envelopes and tells the entire Liverpool squad and staff that each envelope contains a name. The three names are those individuals that he believes will ‘let us down this season.’

The stupefied response of the room says it all. But hey, as Brentdan profoundly states: You have to believe it, to achieve it. What a pillock. Bullet dodged? Nuclear bomb dodged, more like.

The second clip is our boy Hugo training with the French squad. Butcher’s. Dog. Fit as. The footage courtesy of 101 Great Goals.com. Good to see him baring up despite the internal goalkeeping feud at The Lane. Maybe if this football managing thing doesn’t pan out, there might be a vacancy on the Daily Mail sports desk.

Sportsmail understands Villas-Boas is planning to recall Friedel for his revenge mission against Chelsea, who sacked him last season.

Lloris pleaded with Villas-Boas to keep faith in him but looks set to be disappointed. Friedel was frustrated by the decision to axe him for the Villa game, while it is believed a clutch of Spurs players were also stunned by the choice.

  • Jan Vertiginous says:

    Can’t believe that’s how Rodgers is “motivating” the dippers, if he thinks there going to mess up why play them in the 1st place. What a wolly

    • Boy Charioteer says:

      He didn’t wind up our boss. Time for a double scotch. Purely to assuage my sense of relief of course.

    • Hot_Spur says:

      What makes you think there are any names in the envelopes? just a way of getting everybody thinking “I’m not going to be one of those”

      • Boy Charioteer says:

        Reminds me of the old “Sherlock Holmes Faces Death” film with Basil Rathbone, where in Musgrave Hall the next victim would be handed a sealed envelope by the grim housekeeper Mrs. Howells foretelling the victim of his grim fate. This was made about 1943, so our Brendan is doing nothing new.

          Damn you is good, mofo :winke:

          I highlighted this because I couldn’t believe that a Premier League manager would be attempting to pass off this nonsense…

        • Ronnie Wolman says:

          Basil Rathbone…didnt he play inside right for us against Burnley?????

        • melcyid says:

        • Boy Charioteer says:

          Basil Rathbone (one of my favourite actors was South African and in real life was a master swordsman who could have outfenced Errol Flynn anytime. (Refusing to win any sword fights on film). He also won The Military Cross, operating behind enemy lines in WWI, if I understand it correctly camouflaged as trees.

        • PeterTheStoreyTeller says:

          Good old Basil game to the end.

  • Bukkake-breath says:

    So bored of these nothing stories about lloris wanting to shoot the boss blah blah blah.. Absolute parasites

    • TMWNN says:

      It’s crazy, isn’t it? Such a non-story.

      I’m surprised at one or two on here who believe that it could have a negative effect in the dressing room.
