I'm not following your train of thought...
Brentan Rodgers

You went looking around and not at the classic beauty of one and only Miley Cyrus.
Ah, course! That level of wit went over my head.
She looks like a 14 year old boy @Ronetta, so what does that make you
He sounds pretty down.
Someone left a link there.
He sounds angry and down and out...Wasn't much in the way of his usual spoofing. Most certainly rattled.
Lose on Sunday, and it all starts looking very bleak for him
Just need Arsenal to not do an Arsenal.
Aye, I thought it came across like he wanted to bite someone's head off, but all the questions were a little too reasonable to give him the opportunity.
Apparently he's teed off with the press going on about Mario.

Sounds like Rodgers' press briefing (off camera) was a lively one. Should be worth keeping an eye out for the papers later.
David Thomas @Satriale80 8 minutes ago
@SamDrury11 Give us a hint there mate.
Sam Drury @SamDrury11 · 8 minutes ago
@Satriale80 I gather that he is far from happy with the media.
David Thomas @Satriale80 7 minutes ago
@SamDrury11 Really? he's had a go at them? Over what?
Sam Drury @SamDrury11
@Satriale80 not sure on specifics, think its to with stuff that has been said & written about him &/or the club.

He surely calculated this into the risk though?!
As I said, rattled
Nope - he was too busy being the People's Poet.
I think he has had a pretty easy ride from the press so far and he got plenty of adulation last season. If you don't do well then expect to be hammered by the press.
Yeah but, that's not how he sees it.
As far as he's concerned, he took plucky Swansea into the big leagues and made them what they are.
He also turned Liverpool into a "force" again.
Not my opinion or any sane human being's opinion, but his!
You've spoken to him, have you? Or you have quotes to back this up? Some evidence?
They built him up, now it's time to knock him down. It's not rocket science is it?
I don't think that's the case at all. For the most part the British press seems to want him to do well and have been slow to criticise him this year.
If he has actually had a go at the media he's even more stupid than I thought, which is sayin something.
First he briefs Pearce that the owners are hampering him, then he turns in the press? He's going to be out on his arse without any of the goodwill Moyes built up with the British Press. He'll have a hard job promoting himself hen he does get the sack.
Yeah bit like Moyes I think the press like him
Of course he has, just like everyone in here has at the very least a Ph.d. in football tactics, are football scouts and football agents, seeing that they know the exact worth of a player. His words are evidence, mate!
Barney is rattled
Looks either angry or worried. Not saying much, is he?
I suppose he does have the British manager bias to fall back on a bit. But even Moyes lost his support in the end.. If it starts looking certain he's out on his arse the they will be falling over themselves to get the "exclusive"
Ogden mentioned that Moyes was taking various journalists (including himself) out for meals feeding them information in return for favourable press. He also said that there came a point where his position was so bad that they could do nothing else but report the reality of the situation.
Moyes then had a lot of brownie points with them following his sack which saw a lot of sympathetic articles that were critical of United's handling of the situation and for months Moyes had a mouthpiece to keep his name out there and build his reputation.
Rodgers would be smart to do the same. The press have been very kind with him this season because as you say, they want a British manager to succeed. So if he's turned on the press now as well as the owners he's going to find himself very short of friends when he's out of a job and that won't do him any favours when he wants to put his name out there if another job comes up.
What's Arsenal being Arsenal? Winning 13 league titles, going the season unbeaten...
Lol, sound like a Liverpool fan. This arsenal team is nothing compared to the Invincibles.
Brendan Rodgers is a Football Genius.
Brendan's very pleased with his genius new approach to preparing his team, which involves trying to get the players to play well. This revelation comes alongside a tactical innovation no-one has ever seen before, termed "3-4-3" by the mighty red manager himself. His team has notched up a 3-0 loss to United and a stunning 3-1 victory over the mighty Bournemouth in the two games since Brendan came up with these pieces of brilliance, so he's naturally a bit upset that the media have not been drooling over his revolutionary idea.

Been a while Pete.
This is one of those "I was there" moments.
Have a RAWK style poem Pete.
Time will pass, Memories will fade, Feelings will change, People will leave, but the heart never forgets.
I like Arsenal, personally, second best club in England quite clearly for me.
You know, since the invention of colour tv.
Or at least since I first got a color tv.

Good grief he looks ill.
13?Ah, course! That level of wit went over my head.
She looks like a 14 year old boy @Ronetta, so what does that make you
I actually thought you were taking the piss, just saw the quotes are real
Touche
That's exactly what I thought. I couldn't believe it when I read the article and realised it wasn't satire.I actually thought you were taking the piss, just saw the quotes are real
Wow this has only just made me realise... Is the thread title Brentan Rodgers because of his similarities with David Brent?
Same as that, feck sake!I actually thought you were taking the piss, just saw the quotes are real
Thats a real quote? What a weird man.- Status
