.. go check our initial threads on him ... I was always optimistic. Also see Prem predictions thread on Spurs board .. I predicted us to be the surprise team and finish seventh ...obviously I'm a poor judge! ..but demonstrably better than you ..
Why what have I judged? I'm stating facts not predictions. And you are a poor judge, you were wrong by 6 positions. And don't turn this into me being anti Ranieri. This whole thing started cos I said his story was remarkable and he deserved his own film!
because Arsenal's invincibles did ... ...who gave Zola his debut at Napoli? ... who bought Anthony Martial for Monaco ...who has Frank Lampard said he owes everything too? ... Claudio Ranieri ... Now back in yer box
Because Ranieri couldn't beat them!! S'funny isn't it? This time last year I couldn't move for your posts talking about how Claudio Ranieri has basically made every footballer's career and that all Jose's success was down to him...
.. yes I was wrong. .. not like he has taken 5000 1 shots to win the EPL now that would be something. ... Perhaps you should pop over to the Chelsea board and ask them what they think of Ranieri? .
My point is you're rewriting history. You can't now suddenly say Claudio was responsible for all this success when you hadn't said it for the entire decade previously. And I don't need to, as I said I'm an Inter fan and I can guarantee before this season id seen more of Ranieri's teams in the flesh than you had.
Who wears blue & white & knows how to finish a race ? Leicester Piggott. Who can "Run Wild & Run Free" like Vardey ? Mark Leicester.
... I've merely stated facts ... not re-written history... feel free to go back and see what I wrote about Ranieri on his appointment by all means. ... you won't find anything different to what I've written above ... the guy had a terrific CV ... he has consistently improved the teams he has taken over ... and he certainly did that with us.
... and more than Chelsea fans? .. no didn't think so ... it's like me saying I'm qualified to judge Steve Bruce because I've seen us play Wigan .
And in a shocking turn of events a thread on this board turns into a stupid argument. BCC involved? Surely not.
That Ranierri's a bit dull though, you really need a character to move you forward. They should get someone that knows how to deal with fans and press. Get him practising stuff like strangulation techniques, calling the press pricks and Ostriches or getting his kids involved with cultural exchanges in foreign lands. It'd do for starters.
And whose fault was that? I said Ranieri deserved his own film, it was some other **** who challenged me.
Yes as much as Chelsea fans. And no it's not, it's nothing like that. Ranieri was Inter manager and I had a season ticket.
When I say you're rewriting history I mean about Chelsea and the other players Ranieri has signed. So this time last year, as Chelsea wrapped up another title, you were thinking "that Jose is bloody lucky you know, all his success is down to the signings made by that bloke sacked in disgrace as Greece lost to the Faroe Islands".
