Yeah I'd be all for Jose going to your lot...his antics are funny, if not sometimes a bit OTT. I think the only time he pissed me off was when he made life difficult for Antony Taylor, I didn't approve of that...it was a step too far, considering his family had to run guantlet.

He's not someone I like tbh did when he first came to Chelsea bit got just a bit foo full of himself by the end of his time here.
Managing us would soon bring him back down to earth, as in wtf have I done :biggrin:

It would be funny though and far more entertaining for the rest of us. <laugh>

We need more characters in the PL, we don't seem to have many anymore, and taking the piss out of Arteta every week becomes a bit stale.

Yup - agree 100% ... it really was a "Champions" trophy back then ... should be renamed the 'Cash Cow For The Usual Suspects Cup" ...

The second old format, when it was only champions but they still did a group stage or two, was even better.

Be interested to know when 2nd places became admitted. Then third etc.

When we cracked the league again in 1993 and got back in the European Cup, we were definitely the only English team.

Feels strange
But yup I agree

I would just give them the super league
Be done with it but never allow any of them anywhere near the domestic game again

if they want back they start at the bottom - the very bottom of the pyramid

they can have their franchises like American football
It will live and die On it’s popularity

but I know I am in the minority on this

Yeah Big Ange at Leeds forgot about him, lol. I love it when a reporter asks him a stupid question and he gets a bit ratty.

“Ange, you’ve just lost 11-2 playing no centre-halves and five strikers, will you maybe play a centre-half next week?”

“That’s just how we play mate, no more stupid questions”.


I do like him though. He’d be a great father-in-law.

If it was the 90s we would have been nowhere near it lol <laugh>
So I don’t remember this phase but yeah that would have been okay
I just like the knockout format - group stages don’t really interest me but I don’t hate them either

I have lost track of it all but I think of all the English winners since the 80s I thought only Utd had won it how I would have liked us to have won it

for me we need to win it this year but my own personal preference holds no real relevance
 
I grew up as a kid with only one English club having ever won the European Cup, Manchester United. Yeah Celtic won it before them, but as a kid Scotland didn't count. I use to love the Home Nations competition as well, until the Scottish fans decided to celebrate on the hallow Wembley turf, breaking the crossbar...

I know it should really go on the Championship board, but there's a chance to laugh at Lesta tonight as they play Brum at home.

Birmingham are horrible ****s though so I’d take no joy in this happening. Maybe some joy but not too much knowing what’ll come tomorrow.
