Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Sham that Buffon ended an amazing international l career that way.

 

You're over simplifying what Shanks achieved, he took over a 2nd Division club and won the division, two seasons later he won the first of his 1st Division titles.
Mourinho is disliked/hated by many of his former clubs supporters (even Porto), Shankly on the other hand will always be loved by our supporters for laying the foundations of a dynasty that lasted years after he retired.

 

Exactly right.

And even Kenny's ideas were quite outdated, 4-4-2, big man - small man, Downing and Henderson wide, benching our best footballers (Maxi, Bellamy, Kuyt) in favour of players that were stronger physically (Hendo, Downing, Carroll).

Klopp is the first forward thinking manager we've appointed since Rafa. All the other managers were trying to copy things that had come before.

 

I respect José rather in the way I respect a nuclear bomb - there's no doubt it's an awesome thing and a force to be reckoned with but you can't escape the feeling that the world would be a better place without it.

 

haha good analogy, but arguably it's because of the nuclear bomb that we now live in probably (western civilization/most advanced ones) the biggest peacetime in western civilization. back in the day wars and invasions (which we still see) happened far more frequently. Nowadays no one dare invade USA/UK/Russia/China/France etc etc

 

I am honestly outraged, i canno believe they did not balance it up, two legged game that has been decided by horrific penalty decision, not withstanding the red or yellow decisions

 

So Giggs has finally found a job that matches his ambition.

Ryan Giggs: Ex-Man Utd winger to sign deal with Vietnamese academy

Make your mind up, he should either know his place, start at the bottom and work his way up or.............
lets take the piss out of him for starting at the bottom.
Which is it?

 

Think you're getting me mixed up with someone that said any of the words in your rant, I merely pointed out what he himself said when interviewed last summer, that he would only consider managing an outfit that "matched my ambitions".
It would appear that he's finally found his niche in the game then.

 

Why, is he managing them?

 

Pedant.

Vietnam are so ****e he's coaching their coaches, that's about as near to the bottom of the ladder a prospective manager can get, a local Sunday League side would be a step up.

 

Good lad, so he is starting at grass roots and trying to work his way up. Kudos to him

 

It's gotta be about money, he could have got a job in the lower league's here, so that being the case(he ain't a charity and he never took the job because he likes Viet food)he won't do much progressing on his return due to no lower league clubs being able to afford what he wants in wages.

 

Yep, the Viets are known for being loaded

Italy

Everton

 

That's nasty for you

 

So you think he'd decide to do the good old Vietnamese a favour for exies only?

 

Great metaphor

 

Depends how you define 'invasion'
