Ohhh, sounds like a challenge, here we go :

Palace, didnt play any Derbies in his spell.

Sunderland
Sunderland 3–0 Newcastle United
Newcastle United 1–1 Sunderland

Whammers
Millwall 0–0 West Ham United
West Ham United 2–1 Millwall
He got on the main utterly dicked in his Premier League derbies versus Spurs and Chelsea, Millwall, Spurs and Chelsea are considered Whammers Derbies

Dont think he played any Derbies at Blackburn

Newcastle
Sunderland 1 – 1 Newcastle United

Bolton's main rivals historically have been with near neighbours Bury, though this has lessened since the Second World War as the two clubs have rarely been in the same league. The club also has a rivalry with Preston north end and Blackburn Rovers, as the two sides are separated by just fifteen miles and are both founder members of the Football League, as are Preston north end.[61][62] More recently, Bolton have developed an enmity with Wigan Athletic, whose fans generally regard Bolton as their main rivals.[63] Bolton fans maintain a mutual dislike with the fans of Tranmere Rovers,[64] Burnley,[65] and Wolverhampton Wanderers

SWERVE THEM BELLS

Notts County view their main rivals as neighbours Nottingham Forest. However, during recent stints in the lower levels of the Football League, rivalry has increased with Nottinghamshire neighbours Mansfield Town. Other clubs sharing local rivalries with Notts County are Derby County, Leicester City, Lincoln Cityand Chesterfield.

And them




Mixed bag really.

Didn't he beat Man United at the Reebok a couple of times? Or was it Arsenal?

I know Bolton fans like to think of United as one of their "rivals"

Sam didn't pick team against West Ham.

I heard a rumour Sam is sending over unsy and one of his couches for the eurofa game. So he can stay and prepare for Liverpool.

3:25 on this.

"Eurofa Cup"....again.

He said crap then. I trust a man that curses

probably all already common knowledge, but we have a lad in our office ( Scottish lad so no ties and no reason to make it up ) who has a contract with Everton FC and goes in for regular visits with someone at the club

come back in the office then and told me the players were all revolting against koeman because of his strictness ( nothing we didn't already know ) but apparently the players could only wear certain socks with there suits, they had to be in @ 9am at all home match days so they had to spend all day together and eat together, they had to wait behind koeman and management in the que for food

then he said unsworth was never considered for the job because he's to nice, he said he's just one of the lads, gets on with everyone but they couldn't take that serious for a manager and then said fat Sam came down before the west ham game picked the team which is why rooney started and give the team words before the game

then added that craig shakespear sits high up in the stadium on the ear piece so he can relay info to fat sam about positioning etc

I AM NOW IN THE KNOW

We already know this isn't true from the man himself.

 

[Thomasc]

Encouraging start and good interviews from him thus far.

Bar the England job, I cannot even believe he would have been as excited with any opportunity in his career as a manager.

I really think he will see this as an opportunity to get some respect as a manager which he may have been lacking at other clubs from people within the game.

We needed a man with a bit of something about him, who calls things as they are and who will stick two fingers up to anybody who wants to take him on. Somebody with a bit of an edge, who will get the respect of the players and who will not let them get away with being prima donna's.

Anything less than a dry bumming at the pit next week will be seen as a success as that is what we are used to. Fingers crossed he can get another 20% out of them as he will know that if he gets any sort of result there he will win a lot of doubters over.

I was gutted when we were linked with him and now I'm really pleased with him.

 

[Nymzee]

Very early days but I know I won't judge him for Sunday with the little amount of time training he'll have.

Duncan and Shakespeare are taking a second string over while Big and little sam stay back and work with the first team for the weekend.

Kinda handy having someone like Shakespeare in as we can actually do that.

 

[davek]

Didn't hear that. Was it in relation to his style of football?

 

[evertonarntwe]

was against him but for the time he has been here he has done well to get us back to basics, he actually had Williams/martina look like half decent footballers on Saturday and that on it's own deserves a medal

Right come on, let's not go mad.

That's smart.
