We needed somebody in who is a proper football man, like Pearson, who knows the league and knows what it is to guide a side to being bottom of the league until April.

You're never going to get out of dire situation of being four points off Bournemouth by playing good attacking, organised football, where your main aim is to try and score more and concede less than the opposition.

That will be Garde's biggest mistake, because he doesn't know the league and he's not English.

If anything Garde has a reputation as being a counter attacking style manager - I would have thought this is ideal for our current situation.

I can't wait to see how many of these 'expert' pundits start touting Sherwood when the next big managers job become's availble.

Its funny that you dont hear Lamberts name being linked to anything, anywhere!   

I would not be surprised if Timboreland ends up at QPR now Ramsey has got the tin tack...

Goooooaalazzzzooooo!

Golaccio

Golaço

Correct that it originates from the Portuguese, but apparently the bloke who wrote the theme tune always thought of it as 'golaccio' when putting it together

Quote
"With Bravo's Football Italia featuring the classic opening credits, as it originally did on Channel 4, complete with shouts of 'Gol, lazoo ...' or something, can anyone clarify what is actually shouted at the end of the music, and what does it mean in English?" asks Andy Beill.

Many thanks, bizarrely, to the British Council's website for scotching the theories of those claiming it had something to do with Gazza's arrival at Lazio, and divulging the real answer: "When Channel 4 televised live Italian football in the 1990s the opening credits had a typical piece of Italian commentary exclaiming 'Golaccio!!!'" it notes. "Interestingly, although this phrase sounds Italian it isn't. It actually comes from a kind of folk memory of what Latin commentators sound like. Programme makers Chrysalis reveal that the man who wrote the theme music, Steve Duberry, 'sort of imagined it from a phantom Brazilian/Italian memory' and recorded it as part of the music. If you had to translate it, it would be something like 'goaltastic!'."

Fucking hell - they were dire. The original Little and Large of the football world.

Like the Beano brought to life transposed onto television.
