I'd add Simeone to that list, too. Better than Rafa? Klopp & Wenger it's a no. Ancelotti & Simeone maybe. Lets see how Guardiola goes in the PL, I have a feeling he will struggle. Simeone maybe. Wenger no. Klopp yes. Ancelotti definitely. I'd rather Benitez than Guardiola too. Benitez over Pep. I might revisit this in a year but aye he is. Pep has been handed teams that are some of the best ever. Benitez has won trophies with second tier sides. Won the CL with f***ing Liverpool ffs. That's not exactly true imo. Whatever has happened since, Pep created one of the best teams ever at Barcelona, he didn't have it handed to him at all. He set them up that way and he had them playing in that style. Bayern was a very easy gig for him and he didn't prove anything, but that shouldn't taint what he did at Barcelona, because it really was a massive deal. Rijkaard put that team together imo. What a load of bollocks. When Rijkaard left the team was a mess, key parts of it aka Deco and Ronaldinho and others were leaving or on decline. Iniesta wasn't even a starter at that time, Xavi was in and out of the team wasn't the guy we know him as today. Pique, Alves weren't there, Busquets was in the reserves. I could go on and on here really, also Messi was a kid at the time although that was good timing more than anything in all fairness. I hate to keep defending him but the amount uninformed crap that gets spewed is amazing to me. Xavi and Iniesta started like 100 games between them in his last season and you reckon they were in and out of the team. :lol: Busquets was a f***ing kid too. Iniesta wasn't a starter then, i'm pretty sure VI can back me up on this. Also Rijkaard played two DMs with Deco in front quite a lot. Anyway i have said what i need to say. Carry on. Iniesta started 43 games that season. You don't need VI to say jack shit. It's there in black and white. Also, Mr In and Out of the Team Xavi started 50 games. It's also there in black and white. Nice try though. Pep is overrated. Rafa forever. Howay the lads.

I'd add Simeone to that list, too. Better than Rafa? Klopp & Wenger it's a no. Ancelotti & Simeone maybe. Lets see how Guardiola goes in the PL, I have a feeling he will struggle. Simeone maybe.

Pep has been handed teams that are some of the best ever. Benitez has won trophies with second tier sides. Won the CL with f***ing Liverpool ffs. How comes Barca only got success again once they signed Neymar and Suarez then? absolutely ridiculous some of the criticisms he gets tbh. Only man in the history of football i can think of that consistently wins league titles and gets to at least the CL semis and if he doesn't get the treble it's not considered enough. Don't ever recall Ferguson, Ancelotti or Mourinho ever getting the same level of expectations or criticism and they had some pretty f***ing amazing teams too, hell Ancelotti won the league once with Milan. Shut it Mole, Froggy is trying to be nice for once and support our move and you're trying to correct him. Stop being so defensive, this has nothing to do with Rafa It has everything to do with the usual bollocks that gets spewed by uninformed idiots. Uninformed man. We can all go on Wikipedia and pretend to know who everyone is Mole.

I'd add Simeone to that list, too. Better than Rafa? Klopp & Wenger it's a no. Ancelotti & Simeone maybe. Lets see how Guardiola goes in the PL, I have a feeling he will struggle. Simeone maybe.

I agree with this too, but Pep did get the best out of Messi and stepped them up another level. Still think Benitez's achievements are more impressive.

Bayern was a very easy gig for him and he didn't prove anything, but that shouldn't taint what he did at Barcelona, because it really was a massive deal. You're right, and I shouldn't undermine what he did, but IMO what Benitez did at Liverpool and Valencia was far more impressive.

Spoiler: It's IP.

The guy being pushed out of the way by Pardew is a famous poster off here.

2/1 now to win the Championship. I hope people got on at 9/2.

:lol:

http://www.arsenation.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Gonzalo-Higuain.jpg The forgotten man. I haven't heard anyone mention him and he's scored 40 goals.

Only about 15 people actually play.

Supposed to have held talks with De Boer and Pellegrini already, followed by Emery in the next few days. Rumour is that Koeman is still the number one target though. I'd be happy with Emery or Koeman. Not so much the other two. Imagine being an Everton fan and turning your nose up at Frank De Boer and Manuel Pellegrini. I'll have what you're having fella... Exactly what I was thinking.

This works with both rating systems.

Aye by spending an absolute fortune on here and now players. He'll win us a couple of trophies and then he'll leave the club in ruins. I'd rather keep LVG.

The worst bit about this for Pardew is he's not going to have anything to blame next season's relegation battle on. I'm putting money on them to go down.

His sad face when walking off the pitch gave me a lot of satisfaction on behalf of the Newcastle fans I like. Fuck Pardew. He deserved this after that fucking dance.

I don't get why everyone was getting worried. This was never in doubt.

It was Billy again. Predicted about four things this match.

Until the sending off I genuinely had the utmost confidence in the team. I'm genuinely worried now. This was just a prank. GET THE FUCK IN.

Until the sending off I genuinely had the utmost confidence in the team. I'm genuinely worried now.

Literally no defender in the right position now. We're in big trouble.

This is torture.
