That's more like it. O'Neill can get to f***, he really can. I like him, I like the way he talks football, but his f***ing tactics can get to f***. 10 men behind the ball at home against Wolves this year and West Brom last. f*** OFF.

Jesus, Gunga Din, Hansen and DH all just wrote stuff i agree with consecutively. Given the unlikeliness of that I say there's every chance Rafa is staying!

It was indeed a qualidee finish from young Aqua

there speaks the person who doesn't know how to be safe online

0-1 at halftime, pacheco and el zhar come on to contribute 2 of the goals, then gerrard bangs one in with 2 minutes to go - "Ya Beauty!!!!"

they might, they just might how much do you stand by your assessment if Mourinho isn't the one to come in, though?

that's not quite the same as what I have written there if you think we're better off going down the Madrid route with managers... (yes, I know that's not the same as what you wrote either) looked at from another perspective, how many 'hire 'em and fire 'em' clubs can you think of that have sustained success and stability? there are a limited pool of clubs which win leagues ultimately, and they tend to be the clubs with the large amounts of cash

Maybe the truth is not in how many would have kept him, but which ones. I suspect that the clubs who don't ditch managers at the first sign of regression often reap the rewards of a little patience and a 'big picture'. In that case 'not many' becomes irrelevant. I know what you're driving at, of course, and you are certainly right when you later posted about what it'll be like if he stays and we start poorly next season, but most football clubs come across as being run by a wide variety of nut jobs.

True, but what counts is surely what he thinks in private?

Bit lucky with the 'handball' surely?

I know it was posted a few hours back but

Olympiakos

I didn't try to evaluate their personal ability, just point out that Insua and Johnsen both have attacking roles It was supporting the idea that modern fullbacks are not just about defending. The shielding midfielders have freed them up to contribute more in attack

Half a picnic, 12 jars of Vicks and a clean pair of ladies briefs.

Post from Torby or it isn't happening.

Well, they get forward more than Masch or Lucas I'd say, so I guess someone has?

We're playing 21st C football now you know. Fullbacks are no longer defenders first and foremost, they attack and defend with equal importance.

Rafa said he'll move further forwards... although he may have been having a cheeky laugh with someone
