the EPL is so so competitive... 3 games into the season and we alredi hv some fierce competition between Bolton chairman, Phil Gartside, and Middlesbrough chairman, Steve Gibson, for the sore loser of the year award!
Sore sore losers of the year for whining forever over spilt milk and sour grapes...Sore sore Gartside.. defended and strongly backed Sam's "ugly football" at Bolton when Big Sam's in charge at Bolton only to immediately turn around and have a bite at him once he's left.. Ingrate.
Poor Viduka. gave his all for Boro. chose Newcastle for arguably similar contract to Boro's. Gets a blasting from Gibson. Wake up! Who wants to stay at hopeless Boro when a bigger and more ambitious club like the magpies come knocking.. & Oh Puh..leeeze.. Just Mark Viduka & Aiyegbeni Yakubu trumps mido, aliadiere, tuncay sanli & lee dong gook add together anyday..
These two had better learn how to gracefully kiss their stars farewell next time.. learn a trick or two to at least thank your ex-colleagues who toiled hard to ensure u don't get relegated, alrite?
Thankfully, sweetness never came any sweeter than a resounding 3-1 win at the Reebok stadium for Newcastle United against Bolton..
Pity that Boro escaped flukishly with a late equaliser for 2-2 at the Riverside after Mark Viduka appeared to have scored a wonderful winning goal against them.
*ps: some evidence below if u didn't follow the soccer news...
Bolton background read:
Newcastle United manager Sam Allardyce has described his former chairman at Bolton Wanderers, Phil Gartside, as 'sad and bitter'.
Allardyce spent eight years at the Reebok Stadium before leaving the club just before the end of last season, and Gartside has been less than complimentary about the current Magpies boss since appointing Sammy Lee as Bolton's new manager.
Allardyce has responded, telling The Sun: "Gartside reckoned I wouldn't have got the Bolton job if I was applying for it now and we would never have signed El-Hadji Diouf or Nicolas Anelka if it wasn't for Sammy Lee.
"He also claimed Sammy did more of the coaching than me and was basically the better man.
"I began to wonder whether I'd done anything at Bolton. Did we dream Bolton came from nowhere to become a top Premier League team and qualify for Europe? Was it an illusion or something? 'Gartside just sounded sad and bitter. If I'd ever had any doubts about leaving Bolton, that justified to me that I was right to go."
If Allardyce had needed any extra incentive to make this a special day, he would have got it by listening to Radio Five Live on the team coach, on which his former chairman Phil Gartside delivered another withering post mortem on his reign at the Reebok. The divorce between these two is getting so nasty that, by comparison, the Tarrants' separation is beginning to look amicable.
Gartside surprisingly hinted beforehand that, despite their high Premier League finishes under Allardyce, he would be happy just to see Bolton stay up and if there are many more displays like this, Lee will soon be reintroducing backs-to-the-wall football. As for Newcastle fans, they have not been happier since the day Kevin Keegan arrived as their manager.
It was, of course, also a managerial catchweight contest between Allardyce and his former assistant Sammy Lee. Big Sam against Little Sam and, as they say in boxing, a good big 'un always beats a good little 'un. So it proved here.
Boro background read:
Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson believes the Teessiders are well shot of Mark Viduka and Yakubu. Viduka scored against Boro on his Premier League return to the Riverside Stadium with Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.
But Gibson says the Teesside club are better off without both, saying he felt "tainted" by Viduka's wage demands and accusing Yakubu of "stopping playing for us halfway through last season".
