I just can't see it happening from the practical point of view, regardless of the physical. If it did exist, at any time in the future, eventually someone would **** the timeline up and we'd all implode or become our own grandfathers or some such. I think it just gets more noticed when he does it cos he's been there for so long and thus has gotten the reputation. AVB, Dalglish and Mancini have all done the same since they started at their current club, but they don't have the history so it slips under the radar. It's like Wenger's "I didn't see it" line - all managers have some sort of defence mechanism like that but only Wenger's been using his for 15 years.
yeah after i replied i looked again at the avatar and realised who he mean't, i'd agree there is more than a passing resemblance. btw you haven't been on here for a while.
Work commitments, gone quiet for the moment though...been working like a cart-horse! That and also I've been cooling myself down on Battlefield 3 when I get some space and time.
With respect to your second point, I grant there's probably an element of truth in that. There are occasions when your boy goes massively over the top though. When we beat you 1 - 4 at your place, he said that the best team lost. I don't reckon at least half of the crowd agreed with him.
I don't get these games. Why do you all bother? Do you not know there's free porn on the internet? Get a grip - literally
I think if you look hard enough there are numerous occasions when he gives loads of credit to the opposition and fully accepts we we're second best. I admit though that this tends to be not quite so frequent when we've been dicked by someone he sees as a geniune rival but I feel he won't go public by admitting this incase it has a psycological impact on the players. Unless it's Barca, when he just admits they are miles better than us, why pretend otherwise? But he's not going to give Liverpool a huge mental boost by admitting on TV that we were anything other than equals on the day, regardless of that score.
I normally avert my eyes when the creature's face is on the telly, which sadly, is almost as frequent as the media whore that is Redknapp - Triffic player
Helps to avoid unnecessary chaffing, surely? I mean, if there's as much out there as you suggest, then you could be there for quite some time
Aye but all competitive managers have had those kind of things. After the 1-0 FA Cup win last season Dalglish claimed Gerrard's sending off for the two footed lunge on Carrick meant football was now a non contact sport, and Wenger claimed Barton should have been sent off for the challenge on Diaby after which Diaby got sent off in the 4-4. And Mourinho pulled out a fair few in his time too! Tho' you're right that SAF does tend to make his higher profile, and probably more blatant when he's piling on the pressure around "squeaky bum time". He did the same thing to Keegan and triggered the "I would luv it" rant. As long as it keeps working and keeps us winning I won't be complaining
