"You're wincing already? I haven't even started squeezing yet, you soft b'stard"
A very important issue to consider tonight

Not sure Chris Hughton should rightfully be ranked in the top half here, as I see him very much as a pacifist, whereas we all know Wagner's up for a scrap if the opportunity arises. Koeman looks to be ranked far too low for my money: he's a big unit who put himself about it a bit as a player, and I'd fancy his chances against a few of the top five. No way should Mourinho be seventh either. I reckon he'd be snidey and bitey, but not a proper scrapper.
Over to the NSC jury.
No, it's the mad ones that always win in a proper fight - the ones who cheerfully stab a pencil in your eye, the ones who smash a bottle over your head when you're stood at the bar, the ones who stamp on your head when you are lying bleeding and unconcious on the floor, the ones who really don't care what they do.You've always got to watch the "quiet ones".
Hughes used to be a bit tasty in his playing career I seem to recall, no reason to think he wouldn't front up to any of the others, even Bilic...
Our Chris is so cool, calm and softly spoken that he could easily be head of an international crime syndicate. You never see anyone lose their rag with him because they just know he's not somebody you cross.

How many of them are gone now, Jebus
Time to look at the running order again maybe?
In order of club....
Wenger
Howe
Hughton
Dyche
Conte
Hodgson
Allardyce
Wagner
Puel
Klopp
Guardiola
Mourinho
Benitez
Pellegrino
Lambert
Carvahal
Pochettino
Gracia
Pardew
Moyes
In the current World Cup of Fighting Managers, I reckon Big Sam would surely be the winner, in a gruff Northern dust-up with Dyche. The bottom places would have to be a play off between Howe, Wagner, Hodgson and Pardew, with Pardew ultimately being left in a sobbing heap on the floor after Hodgson is disqualified in for being too old to fight, and Howe blinks his big blue pleading eyes at the match referee thus securing a debatable and match-winning penalty point award against Disco Dancing Alan.
Even go one step better and enclose the lot with a rope with the fourth official as a mediator!I've always thought the technical areas should overlap a bit in the middle so they can have a pop at each other, could be distracting from the match, hopefully.
Not to mention ruining something everybody loved, the world over, just by association.Pardew is the Scrappy Doo of football managers. Can give it all the gobby bollocks but you wouldn't hear a peep out of the smarmy little turd once he'd taken a punch to the jaw.

Maybe with some now-redundant Formula One grid girls to enhance the experience.
