    Oh they will, even if Mourinho goes there he will be off in a couple of years. This is why I don't think ManU would appoint him. He's a mercenary...he'd get bored within a few seasons and be off somewhere else.
  2. They work well, that's basically it. While other portuguese clubs struggle to pay their salaries, promising more than they can handle, they are rigorous and honest to all the players and staff. Instead of buying tons of brazilians, they invest in lower leagues players. Portuguese players. I bet they will have some nice deals by the end of the season as well. Oh, and they try to play and have possession. They don't sit waiting, no matter what's the opponent. Even in Estádio da Luz, they tried to press higher than most teams. That's a key factor. Positive football = positive results. 2 games left. If they win one, or Braga fails to win both, they will be in the Champions League playoff. While spending way less than Sporting or Braga. By only being there, even if they get destroyed, the 2013/14 season is paid. Their manager, Paulo Fonseca, will surely progress in his career. Braga may be the next step for him. I would keep an eye on him, he's still young, 40. I think he was mostly curious as to how a 3rd place team only attracts 1700 people per game. But thanks for that info.
  3. Not the sexiest choice, but he's certainly better than Pardew. And he understands tactics.

    No one likes the Dolphins. Not even Dolphins fans like the Dolphins.

  6. Yeah that's what I thought. Ronaldo, I withdraw my apology and I fart in your general direction.
  7. The post you responded to. States he's extending his contract with PSG, no? Edit: I'm getting confused. Francois Piraux can fuck right off I say.
  8. Ah, my mistake. I misread that tweet, thought he had re-signed for 2 years at PSG. Still think Pep has the edge mind.
  9. Pep and Co. might have something to say about that. Pep's great but he ain't Carlo. PSG have a lot to prove yet. Even if they go out and buy the world, Carlo's had difficulty getting them to play as a team this season, rather than a collection of supremely talented individuals. Enough for them to win Ligue 1 for the foreseeable future, but I think they'll get unpacked by better "teams" in Europe.
  10. Fantasy PL is counting that Mata goal as an assist. Throw me a bone here.
  11. Pep and Co. might have something to say about that.

    That poll Dour indeed.
  13. Did Forrest Gump really say that?

    Alan Pardew

    Good, he's sure to get the message now. Thanks nees.

    The American Grant Holt.
  16. He's a serviceable RB, could certainly do worse for a back-up. Hope he stays.
  17. Agree with you, but Jonas for sure will be in the line-up.
  18. Good to know we have another option at LB should the need arise.
  19. Rubbish to suggest he's not capable of playing at this level. He's no Krul and he's not a PL starter, but I feel very confident with Elliot as second-string keeper.
  20. That post makes perfect sense with no context whatsoever. Post was amended. Still, considering our form recently and this season, I'm not sure how anyone can be upset with the result today. The best we could've reasonably asked for.
  21. Did anyone actually expect us to go into Upton and win? I think most of us were expecting another loss, especially considering our away form this season. Would've been nice to continue the first-half form through the entirety of the game, but at the end of the day, we got an away point and kept a clean sheet. Any other time in the season and we'd be satisfied with this result.
