The other games today - 2012/13


Recommended Posts

He did better than 'in line with expectations' at Porto. Undefeated season, Portuguese cup and Europa league treble. Chelsea was always going to fail given the ownership.

 

Yup.

 

As for Porto, being the best team in the league does that mean that winning the treble is "in line with expectations". It's clearly exceeding them.

 

At Chelsea, he failed. However there were clear mitigating circumstances for that. Does it excuse him entirely? Course not, I'm sure he made some poor decisions, but calling it a failure full stop is a pretty naive conclusion.

 

At Spurs, position-wise he's doing about right. However he's got them playing progressively and in with a very real chance of finishing 3rd - which, if we're purely sticking to "expectations", would be exceeding them IMO.

 

He's a good manager who is getting better. He'll probably become a great manager.

He lost the dressing room and was under-performing in the league.

 

Am I talking to a wall? What part of long-term project and young guys don't you understand? It was a rebuilding process, you can't always win during a re-building process. He was giving players like Romeu, Mata, Luiz, Ramires the chance to adapt and develop. This would've meant they would never have won the CL though. But in terms of long-term they were on the right track.

Suarez the 'Spanish speaking South American'. Uruguayan is easier to say Graeme

 

Did he say that? :lol:

 

Yeah they were talking about Luiz v Suarez. He said

 

'A Brazilian against a Spanish speaking South American'. Probably didnt know he was from Uruguay

So they're now they're having a minute's silence/applause for family members of the victims?

 

Seriously when will it end.

After hearing You'll Never Walk Alone at Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna park - the Liverpool version sounds crap.

 

Sooo looking forward to that match on Wednesday in the CL.

 

You going?

 

Nah, too far away.

 

Would have gone for sure if Madrid were playing at the Allianz Arena.
