Rafalove

Probably not.

Someone was slagging off his half time comments in this thread which I disagreed with, I thought he was pretty much on the money. Dyer was a pretty decent pundit IMO, didn't shy away from giving his opinion, and spoke well for the most part. I know a significant number of our fans hated him when he was here because he was perceived as arrogant, but he was a big part of one the best NUFC teams I had the privilege to watch. His interview on the true Geordie podcast was a good one. Explained how a lot of his “arrogant” behaviour was a front after him being sexually abused as a child.

Awful. Especially at a club like Man City there needs to be more aftercare. Even if they can’t be players maybe try and get them another job in football somehow.

And Savage wonders why people chant about him being a wanker.

Agreed.

Strike

Boom

This is so, so bad.

Bruce is worse than Carver for lip licking

Five defenders and no one closed that down

Basic fucking shit

Just letting them have the ball

White shorts. Nice

My favourite player Rafa bought. Surprised he doesn’t have a bigger reputation through out football.

Just hates us I think

Thought I was the only one

They all had their best seasons under Pep. Turned them in to the greatest team of all time. He literally couldn’t have done anymore with that team. It’s not as easy as you make out Alex Ferguson had just about all the resources he wanted and didn’t build a team as good as that. Mourinho went in to Chelsea with an open cheque book similar to Pep at city, couldn’t get near the points tallies Pep has amassed on a regular basis. Peps philosophy is of course influenced by Cruyff, Bielsa too. But none of them had the same influence.

Won league titles with record point tallies and completely changed how the game is played. And three champions leagues with any team is impressive

I’d still class them as great managers. Zidane won three Champions leagues. Peps won multiple league titles and created the greatest team of all time. If that isn’t great then I don’t know what is.

How?

Ciro Immobile saying We offered him €5.5,000,000 a season at the start of summer.

I would agree.

Have to start Referring to these lot as corporations now, not football clubs

Leicester league win imo.

So there would be the same teams every year? Would remove all meritocracy surely, which would surely dampen its reputation?
