Ronaldo

Pretty sure my argument re. Harewood at the time was he was a good Championship-level player much better than Nile Ranger and probably Shola too. Aye, I got that one massively wrong, like.

He's shit on the ball as well, man.

Moyes wins games and finishes in European places, that's the only reason he wouldn't work as Newcastle manager. Pardew was hailed as a hero because he finished 5th with defensive football. Moyes's style is much more positive.

Fuck, it's tough being so right so much of the time.

Ha. You deserved far more than you got against us, too. Not saying he's the next great coach or owt but there's far more suggesting he's a good manager than bad.

You've scored 5 goals in 4 games under him, and played very good watchable stuff in the process. I'd call that a minor miracle.

If you had owt about you as a poster you'd have done that for me. Just a criminally bad effort by Mistle. Spurs would've finished 3rd with their form under Sherwoord stretched over a full season. They're currently 6th. Vast improvement indeed. Over 28 games he averaged 1.64 points per game, which would've given them 62.4 points over the course of 38 games. This would be less than the 69 points they actually ended up with. They would have finished 7th and not 6th. Obviously it's just an average, but to state that he'd finish 3rd (>82 points), is rather far fetched. It was actually 1.91 points per game according to this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31470606. Over a full season that's 73 points. Generally good enough for 4th, and often 3rd. Of course, it's all conjecture to suggest who those points would've come form and subsequently how league positioning would've been affected.

Hughton took him last season. He lost his job and Norwich got relegated shortly after.

Saw Andy Garcia playing in the Pro-am last month at Pebble Beach. He no longer looks like Berbatov. Gutted.

Maybe a tad against Barca and Bayern but that was to be expected. Anyway, as I said, I wasn't talking about Chelsea and I was going a lot further back than 2012, too.

Neither had much to do with Jonas, mind.

These days Arsenal have to fight to the last game just to scrape 4th. No wonder they don't succeed at this level of the CL.

What a dick. Mind you, the atmosphere at our Primary School when Keegan resigned in '97 was so bleak that anyone unfamiliar with football would've assumed there'd been a multiple child fatalities as a result of a shooting rampage.

Nobody said it was, but they played at a higher pace of football when needed. Most notably when Liverpool needed it against Milan. Never mentioned Chelsea, either. But the one time they won it they weren't really playing pragmatic stuff.

And Mourinho couldn't be out-cunted by Peter Sutcliffe.

The way your lot are going forward recently compounded with the way City have defended all season suggests you should just have a bit of a laugh at the whole thing.

Liverpool and Chelsea both got far in Europe on the back of playing desparately pragmatic stuff. Arsenal got to the final in 2006 by winning 2 legged ties 1-0 on aggregate. Your argument only really works in favour of Man Utd imo, where Fergie really struck the balance well in his latter years. Don't kid yourself, Liverpool turned it up when they needed to under Rafa. Same with Arsenal in 2006. Our teams don't have that Premier League 6th gear to shift up into now.

Cabaye's nickname should be 'the Chihuahua'.

Thing is, English sides used to do so well in the CL because they played a higher pace than teams of often superior technical quality. That's completely gone, now. The coaches in charge of the top 4 - except Pellegrini with his shit defence - all promote a slower more patient pragmatic approach.

What did he say? The shenanigans from the start are embarrassing. Chelsea should be better than trying to nick a win against 10 men at home. Didn't like Mou's mind-games about PSG being aggressive. Called PSG a proper side - great technique throughout. My own comments - PSG looked the better coach side. Ta.

What did he say?

I was hoping we had no posters shit enough to come out with that then.

Fair play. Mourinho can't even succeed by paying refs off these days.
