Premier League

Bob Bradley is quickly proving he can hang with the best managers in the Premier League, at least in terms of banter.

Bradley's first press conference as manager of Swansea City included a shot at his successor as USMNT manager, Jurgen Klinsmann.

Here's the excerpt everyone's talking about: 

"From the day I got fired from the U.S., I've not said one thing publicly about that team. I don't appreciate the way it was done; I think they made a mistake," Bradley said.

Bob Bradley is the coach of Premier League side Swansea City. Let that sink in for a second. 

Crazy, right?

Well, if you’re Bob Bradley, then no, it’s not that crazy. According to Bob Bradley, he is on the same managerial level as Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti. So the chance to manage a club in the Premier League makes sense. 

There’s no doubting Mesut Ozil’s quality. You don’t win 81 caps and a World Cup for Germany, a La Liga title with Real Madrid and collect two FA Cup winner’s medals with Arsenal by riding on the coattails of others. However, a criticism of that nature is frequently thrown at Ozil. His languid style leads to cries of having gone AWOL during big matches — particularly during his time with Arsenal.

We can forgive Robbie Savage's ignorance of the hiring process because, as a person who has spent his career as a footballer and football pundit, he probably hasn't gone through it very often. We are going to make fun of him anyway, though, because he has some thoughts on Ryan Goggs and job interviews and those thoughts are frankly hilarious.

I don't think Ryan Giggs needs an interview process to get a job, yes meet him to find out what he is like as a bloke or what his philosophy

Well, the moment Chelsea fans have been thinking about since last spring has finally arrived. Antonio Conte has officially unveiled his 3-5-2. 

Conte had tremendous success with the formation while managing Juventus and the Italian national team. When his hiring was announced at Stamford Bridge, everyone wondered what this would look like in the Premier League. 

We finally found out on Saturday morning when Chelsea traveled to Hull City. And the performance was . . . interesting. 

With Premier League side Swansea City languishing in 17th place following a dismal start that’s yielded four points from seven matches, the Swans have acted quickly to fire manager Francesco Guidolin and replace him with former USMNT boss Bob Bradley.

Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu can only think of two people, ever, who he'd like to have dinner with. Can you guess which two?

In a Q&A with The Times, Deulofeu gifted us with this delightful exchange"

Question: Which three people would you like to have round for dinner?
