Long throws wind me up. Everyone thinks they've got a long throw in their locker. Rory delap used to ping them in better than taking a corner, you see players do them these days and they barely make it to the edge of the box. 

Delap's throws were flat and fast so were hard to defend against. I agree that the current iterations are nowhere near his level. They tend to have no speed and have a big arc. I will also say that if the trend holds they'll get better. It looks like teams found a new data point and are trying it on the fly.

Stockport's current manager, Dave Challinor, used to have a massive throw too. I remember seeing him do it for Tranmere.

Potter sacked and Nuno set to join West Ham

Sensible decision. Potter is crap.

Someone from a West Ham podcast just said on Talksport that West Ham told Potter he'd be being replaced but wanted him to stay in charge for two tricky away games to give Nuno an easier start.

Unsurprisingly Potter said no and opted to leave straightaway.

potter is like russell martin,though nowhere near  as dislikeable,they both take a simple game and make it extremely complicated,so complicated their players don`t know what they are doing

as Henry Winter has said on Twitter and I agreed with him about West Ham board and owners allowing Potter to do the press conference for Monday game yesterday and facing the media like he did. Shameful from them. It been clear that Potter was getting sack this week/next week with the rumours that he would be replace

I was listening to Talksport on this week and one West Ham fan said that they had the perfect manager for them in Moyes and he brought Success yet his style of play wasn't good enough for some fans. Other fans mentioned the problems with the stadium and ticket prices.
