I am on another planet. Or that's what I'm told. Although it might be the voices in my head telling me that.
I thought Lee Dixon played for Chester City not Man City , he is blowing smoke so far up their arses that it's coming out their ears
Keep reading reports of Pep's super subs. Because you know it's only possible to praise him. It most certainly doesn't work the other way. I mean through all that horrendous run of results he must have made loads of substitutions. Which clearly didn't work. So "Pep's subs fail again" would be at least as justified a headline for that, which we can file under headlines we are never going to read about the bestest ever manager.
Subs work about half the time I think. Should actually be less than that if the best eleven players started. I don't think any manager has an edge on subs.
The thing about super subs is people mainly notice them if they score, for example Pavlyuchenko's scoring run off the bench for us, or at a push if they get the assist for a winner On the other hand, does anyone notice if someone is subbed on and they shut down midfield for the rest of the game or make a game-saving challenge in stoppage time?
Kaiserslautern summon the devil: The two-part banner says: Exaudi nos, Lucifer, et surge ex abysso, sume animas nostras (Hear us, Lucifer, and rise from the abyss, take our souls,) ad lucem nos trahe, orbem mundi regna, surge ex flammis et appare (draw us to the light, reign over the world, rise from the flames and appear.) The 2. Bundesliga is a bit mental!
