£3 a pint?  Of what exactly?   

Nah, welcome aboard, little Sam.  You can give Koeman a wave from the dugout tomorrow.

Southgate sent his love from Russia.

England regrets!

Full pint Sam
Half pint Sammy
No pint Bard

A winning formula!

I am not enthused but I have been thinking about how bad Sunderland and Palace became after he left . Hopeful more than anything else .

Whats his ear piece for?

Speaking to his assistant in the stand.

I think he could actually get what Everton is about. And I'm his biggest critic. But his interviews so far have been spot on and what he says is what we are saying as fans.

Sammy Lee was downstairs, so was Shakespeare I think?

Usually manager goes upstairs and leaves staff downstairs.

Why is being upstairs an advantage?

Shakespeare was upstairs; certainly first half.

Advantage is just the same as if you or I were at pitch level compared to having a fuller picture of the pitch.

So easier to identify shape, where the spaces on the pitch are etc.

As mentioned above. Also he said it's a bit more frantic in the dugout, so he likes that it's a calmer atmosphere which enables an overview without as much bias.

Double post.

Off topic but is this Thomas butler?

I can definitely see the advantage of going upstairs. Can see so much more of a shape of a team etc. I know a lot of teams record training sessions and matches from a birds eye view exactly for this.

As a rugby league fan too this is the norm. You never see a head coach on the dug out until maybe the last 10 minutes if a game.

I can see the disadvtange of your lack of presence on sideline for the team and how this can impact them. Swings and roundabouts but I'd be upstairs first half
