Premier League

FANS have turned a “very humble” Kevin Nolan gesture with Jurgen Klopp into another excuse to troll Newcastle assistant boss Jason Tindall.London Stadium coach Nolan jumped out of the way and pointed to David Moyes, so that Liverpool chief Klopp would shake the West Ham chief’s hand first following Saturday’s 2-2 draw.Nolan took evasive action to avoid shaking Klopp’s hand firstKlopp was embraced by Moyes before Nolan stepped back inIn contrast, Tindall has been labelled a “mad dog” as well as an “attention seeker” and even had his Wikipedia page changed over his habit of moving in for hand-grasping ahead of Toon boss Eddie Howe.Viewers hailed Hammers’ legend Nolan as a “proper football man” who showed “humility” and “pure respect” to Moyes.The ex-Newcastle and West Ham midfielder waited patiently for Moyes to shake hands with Klopp and then hugged the German himself.But many reckon it showed up Tindall’s antics in a bad light.READ MORE TOP STORIESOne claimed: “Newcastle’s assistant would have made himself the main character.”A second wrote: “NUFC assistant coach needs to learn!”And a third joked: “Enough to have Jason Tindall turning in his sun bed.”Many supporters reckon Nolan avoiding shaking hands before Moyes was a perfect tribute to outgoing icon Klopp.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSKlopp has botched his Liverpool exit… and it’s cost him his legacy, says Dave KiddBy Dave Kidd
NOW we know Jurgen Klopp’s final major trophy haul at Liverpool — one Champions League, one Premier League, one FA Cup, two League Cups and (if you must) a World Club Cup.
But where does his reign stand among the greatest of the Premier League era?
In black-and-white terms, Klopp is way behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola, the only two men to have won multiple Premier Leagues and a Champions League at the same club.
Those two sit alongside Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Sir Matt Busby as the undoubted all-time managerial greats of the English game.
But Klopp ranks in the next tier down — with Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho (the Chelsea version), Bill Shankly and Don Revie.
These were all men with the strength of character to transform their clubs in their own image and enjoy success but who did not win as much as they might have done.
Had Klopp managed to keep his intentions under wraps and ended up with another title, perhaps even a treble or quadruple, he’d have edged himself up into that highest echelon with Ferguson, Guardiola, Clough, Paisley and Busby.
But deciding the timing and the manner of your exit is one of the toughest calls for any manager or sportsman.
Klopp got it wrong.

One said: “That’s the hands of a legend. We are going to miss Jürgen Klopp.”Another added: “Klopp’s a class act, end of an era for Liverpool. Nolan’s got good form too, respect all around.”‘F—ing too big, teeth are too bright.. I’ll be glad he’s gone’, says David Moyes in bizarre X-rated farewell to KloppBut most of the comments simply praised Nolan.One fan summed up the feelings of many: “It’s called loyalty and KN has always carried himself well both off and on the field.”Meanwhile, eager Tindall has seen his hand snubbed by managers – who preferred to shake with Howe first.And last summer his Wikipedia entry was briefly edited to: “Jason James Tindall (born 15 November 1977) is an English professional football manager and former player, who is currently the centre of attention at Newcastle United.”Aston Villa’s Unai Emery is one boss who has snubbed a handshake from Jason Tindall, choosing to grasp Eddie Howe’s had first instead More

Since I’ve been scoring, no one has said anything.”Fans ‘have to do a double take’ as Premier League laugh at video of Arsenal’s ‘blatant attempt of cheating’ And the stats seem to support the Arsenal midfielder’s response. In 613 appearances, Keane provided 77 goals and 45 assists.Souness scored 82 times and assisted 44 goals in 579 games, whilst Redknapp scored 47 goals and registered 32 assists in 374 appearances.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSMeet the Arsenal Wags from Strictly star to a flight attendant
