Old post but this is kind of ignoring that they were pretty shit when he took over and he has built them up to where they are now. He shouldn't be under pressure for one down season where they'll likely finish 2nd and got to a CL semi. If it continues to go downhill then he will be under pressure

Feel like Inter are a bit underrated generally. Last 3 seasons, lost on penalties to Atletico, lost the final narrowly to City and lost narrowly to Liverpool the year before yet nobody really talks about them as potential winners

Kaiz is mostly right but think it might be more of a Norway problem than a football problem. Loads of old as fuck players like Dzeko, Modric, Perisic still playing for their countries when their and their teams' best days are behind them

I feel like being abysmal for your national team in a major tournament year should count against you quite a bit like

Apparently TAA said in an interview last week that he'd prefer to win the Ballon d'Or than the World Cup. Insane

Late to the party but this criticism of Arsenal for last weekend is absolutely insane

Was at one of the games last season and it was great. Juan Mata and Douglas Costa to add to it this season Sydney badly needs a smaller stadium though. Any game across 3 sports I've been at in the Allianz has been 2/3rds full at best.

Its a bit shit selling your soul to the Saudis just to be a club that finishes 3rd to 8th in the PL

Cool that more older footballers seem to be still playing international football these days, just saw Dzeko scored for Bosnia, Lewandowski still playing for Poland and Modric still playing for Croatia

Enjoying this. Gordon is the difference

Not that the FAI are any good but Roy Keane being bitter at not getting the job when he hasn't managed in 15 years is hilarious

52k is a lot for the second team in a city of 500k people

Had no idea Madueke is English. Makes the Wolves thing even funnier
