Because the ACN is slap bang in the middle of the domestic season for most of these players perhaps? So that means he doesn't deserve to have adequate time to get his squad sorted? He has to wait until the thing starts before calling his squad together, purely to appease European football fans? Seems a little arrogant, no? Absolutely, but the fact of the matter is that the European leagues are much more important than the ACN, if they wanted preparation time then they should hold it the same time as the European Championships. So Africa should arrange their own Continental Championships to fit in with the European domestic leagues?

Because they dont occur during a regular season and the teams that have paid for these players and pay to keep them don't lose out. Paid for these players! Fucking hell! I'm fairly sure the managers who signed these players realise that the ACN occur during the European regular season. You can't suddenly throw your arms up in despair and throw a hissy fit when they're asked to represent their countries in the ACN! Dear me!

Can't see the problem with what he's saying tbh. Why he shouldn't he want his players together before it all kicks off? Happens before every European Championships and World Cup, why not with the ACN?

If Beckham plays it'll be an absolute disgrace. >

Me too...

That implies that someone is willing to buy him. That's your problem right there.

Fuck me...

Will it be better if I limit ball boys and mascots to top flight only? Would be better if you fucking binned it tbph.

Use fresh local produce don't over do the sauces let the the simple clean ingredients speak for themselves. Exactly.

Been a mascot = 1pt Seen a European Cup Final = 1 pt DOG. SHIT. THREAD.

I'd go along with that Parky. It's almost like he's trying TOO hard to come up with something special for each game that will counter the opposition. I think he realises that he's basically on trial and he has to prove his worth as a tactician and has, as you mention, micro-managed things so much that the focus has shifted to coping with the opposition rather than attacking them. I just hope he realises that in trying to be too cute, he's actually hindering his chances of winning the game each week.

Not exactly quantum physics is it? Exacertedly. So why can't/won't he do it iyo Parky? Not being arsey, I just wonder why he can't see what thousands of us can. Square pegs, square holes etc.

I. Hate. Quote. Pyramids. >

Because he isn't particularly good?

Are you actually at the game btw?

He fucking drove it back man! LEGEND. ZOMG!!!!!11111!!!!!!

That pretty much nails it tbh. He's being too cute and clever when picking his XI. If he just picked his preferred player for each position and stuck to it as much as possible he'd see an improvement. Starting with the back 4 ideally. He also MUST find a way of accommodating Owen and bringing him into play more. If he gets service, he'll score goals as he's proved throughout his career so far.

I dare bet any Newcastle fans still in Sunderland about 4 hours after the final whistle could have handled themselves quite adequately tbh...

Owen, N'Zogbia, Faye.

Any chance of you 2 calling a truce. Please.

Yep, I'd go along with that Baggio. blueyes.gif

May well be in bother with the FA over his 'challenge' according to SSN.
