Pellegrini got sacked from West Ham. I like the fellow, but there's no denying the results are not good enough.

Looks like at least Moyes, Hughton and Howe are being considered as replacement.

I think West Ham like to play a certain attacking style no matter what which is fine, so them going towards an Eddie Howe type manager would be better, or maybe someone outside of the UK who could do something similar. I think going to Moyes or Hughton would be a bit silly.

haaland signed for dortmund!

so much for norwegian pundit xD
should be a good fit for both though, dortmund has arguably polished the most top goalscorers of any team in the past decade+.. I'm happy he didn't go to leipzig, too.

Arsenal were dominating Chelsea for the first half an hour. Kinda feel for Emerson, it must be so embarrassing being taken off after half an hour and lampard not even looking at him let alone giving him a pat on the back. A change of some kind was clearly needed though and Chelsea immediately looked better

Edit: that's cool about haaland. Only 18 million pounds apparently? That seems really cheap

He's exactly the type of player Dortmund needed. Physical, strong, tall with a natural drive towards goal. Dortmund have a lot of technical, creative type players but no goal scorers except for Alcacer who is injured a lot.

thank god he didnt come to united. last thing we need is another 18 yr old striker. martial and rashford are in their best form and shouldnt be put on rotation unless its for fitness reasons only.

Well Chelsea just got away with murder. Jorginho lucky to be on the pitch to score the equalizer.

Big for lampard his tactical change changed the game

Would have been nice having an extra striker but it's ok I guess. A midfielder is way more important at this point.

No, lampards change did shit. Its the referee who preferred to book lacazette than jorginho. What a shitty ref

Yeah the ref was shocking Luiz and Guendhouzi should have been off long before that howler he made but fair result i think. Lampard got it all wrong at the start and Arsenal only scored one and creative that one chance with the dominance they had in the opening half an hour. After that though when he made the change and Jorginho came on Arsenal literally just parked the bus, coming from Arteta who said he wants to make Arsenal play like Arsenal again lol? Augamon was left back for the whole second half and they had 30% possession and 1 shot the whole half and Chelsea playing utter shite managed to nick it 2-1!

Thank god Arsenal are so poor that we can play like that and pick up 3 points and put 2019 behind us and go into 2020 with a gap in 4th place and some games and a transfer window to help us out.

Oh on the Haaland thing well...Yanited pulled out of race to sign him cuz Raiola demanded his usual fee and Yanited have burnt ties with that man after Lukaku and Pogba deals and refuse to deal with him.

Dortmund paid Haaland's father 10 million and then paid Raiola 15 million to boot. There is also a buyout clause in this contract which Yanited again didn't want to insert but the wording to the buyout clause is that is doesn't become active for 3 years? So either 2022 or 2023 im not sure, the price as well im not sure, i would assume around 80 million mark.

I agree that calibrating offside by milimeter decisions is dumb, however this is what PL has atm, so to say the goal should have stood is equally dumb.

I think the offside rule will change to accommodate VAR because i have no problem with it being ruled out for being offside on the current rules because it is, but it just doesn't seem right from a sport point of view.

Jorginho and Guendouzi should have been off really, and it was Jorginho that equalized. Chelsea maybe had more possession, but their chances weren't all that much greater. Arsenal sat too deep though.

We had nearly double Arsenal shots in total and we had 4 on target to there 2. But we played bad i am not going to lie, we didn't deserve in reality to win but Arsenal are just poor with no backbone and fail when it matters the most. However Luiz should have been off before anything for his near decapitation of Kante

This was called "just" a foul and Luiz got no card or anything, the picture doesn't even do it justice as he flew into this with his foot this high.

Hehe oh that one, forgot about it! Surely that's a yellow just like Nigel de Jong in the WC final? Haha.

And is it mostly Luiz and Guendouzi creating the stereotype, or are all players with mop haircuts dirty and scrappy players?

I have no problem with them giving him a yellow for that, even though its a red but the ref gave him nothing and then booked him at the start of the second half for a late foul on Willian which would have been him off lol.

But yeah it was a very scrappy and dirty game yesterday with tackles and the ref was a shit one, most of the refs are pretty poor in England this season but there are always two good ones who can stamp their authority on the game which is Mike Dean and Michael Oliver but instead people like Craig Pawson and Phil Dowd are allowed to ref at the highest level which is baffling.

Oh well rant over, we got 3 points and Arsenal are back to being Arsenal xD

David Beckham’s new MLS team finally has its first coach, with Inter Miami hiring Diego Alonso.

The Uruguayan, who has coached two different teams to Concacaf Champions League titles, officially took over Monday as the inaugural manager of Beckham’s club. He was an attacker as a player and prefers the same scoring-minded style as a coach.

“We knew we would find a coach that matches our aspirations of trying to be successful right out of the gate,” Inter Miami sporting director Paul McDonough said. “What we really like about him is he’s coached at big clubs and he’s won at big tournaments. He’s won at all different levels throughout South America.”

Alonso said after he went through his first interview with Inter Miami officials, he knew the job was right for him.

“It’s an ambitious and a winning project,” Alonso told the Associated Press. “That’s what I’m all about.”

Alonso won’t have long to get settled. Inter Miami – with Beckham a leading part of the ownership and front office – will gather for their first practices in January, have preseason matches in February and makes their MLS debut on 1 March at Los Angeles FC. The home opener at the team’s newly constructed home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is 14 March against the LA Galaxy.
