Yeah but your namesake is always crocked The other fella is average

It's probably 50%+ of posters on here can't remember him as player or manager though, so maybe not so surprising? He's basically 'just another guy' to plenty. It's not 'their fault', but there's no way you can have the emotional attachment if you weren't there at the time.

Boss. Could have absolutely battered them given the chances were created in the last 20, but never in doubt once Suarez got us back in it. I can't believe how s*** they were, I should be able to, but I can't. I know we weren't brilliant first 45, but their reaction to going a goal up was absolutely pathetic. Everyone knows they are the team and form, and we've been looking fragile in every area - a second might have finished us, but 1 was never going to be enough, and sitting on it and giving up all attacking intent was a massive error. Gollum made himself look a complete divvy - again. He doesn't have a f***ing clue how to beat us. If I were a blue I'd be totally embarrassed by their 'effort' today. Gutless. Apart from the goal - which was a pure gift from us, how many chances did they create? The one kinda half chance when Jelavic lost Carra for a second to a ball over the top, but were there any others? A part of me actually likes the blues because at the end of the day there are too many mates and family rooting for them, and the non welsh ones are from the same place as us, but they let themselves down badly today (the side, not the sing when they're winning fans ) Anyway, boss! The city, as ever, etc etc

*TMS voice* Good morning everyone. LET'S HAVE THESE HORRIBLE BITTER BLUESCHITE w*****s!!!!

No need for that to be in the public domain, IMO

I know of one other maniac with same opinion (a forest fan fwiw)

Well Cruyff will definitely move from Ajax, seeing as the board have conspired to force him out, and besides, he probably considers himself as least as much a Barca man.

How can you tell?

too blatant. i'm not going there

Busquets is a magnificent player, unbelievably good. I always think that Xabi could perform the role, and when watching Xabi play for us I often thought that the player he most reminded me of was Guardiola. Circle complete, then.

We should hold out for 10M and get Kompany in

I think people are almost underestimating the level of trouble we've got ourselves into this year. TBH I'll take that draw and the 2nd half performance just to prove to ourselves that we can stop losing

amen

I think that Deschamps also increased his power at the club last summer and for the first time has had control over the transfers. Also, I think the 'ultras' there have a close relationship with one of the top boys, maybe the chairman? And run the ticket sales a la Serie A style, so there's a lot to weigh in the balance about Deschamps and his situation Some good young talent come through to help him, such as Belhanda, and now Cabella when Belhanda got injured, but no doubt about it they are overachieving hugely this year. Not sure he would a good fit for us, though.

He would be right not to, but he might fancy stability over recklessness

If anyone from FSG is reading, offer £35M for that number 9

Boss goal that from Cisse, great movement

Acute in this case means sudden onset. Very aggressive, but they react much better to chemotherapy. *fingers crossed* Survival rates for this are pretty good.

Be serious.

I'll say it for you, Dus, if I may. Anyone who has applauded Kenny for his treating the media with disdain and hero worshipped him for his cutting one liners, and is now on his case for making excuses to the media is a c***. Anyone who replies to this saying that you never, you're definitely a complete c***. * standard 'this is not a bring-back-Rafa' disclaimer applies to this post

Read the first post?

Never use anything else but Crown paint, myself. And listen to the match on a Hitachi midi system.

Fifth place would have been decent regardless, but no way it will happen now.
