Mike Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We've won a trophy! Somebody dug up a communiqué from the Spanish FA dated from 1953 granting us the Eva Duarte Cup (Supercopa precedent), as winners of the 1952-53 league and cup. Supercopa rules weren't clearly laid out back then, so it wasn't clear if we'd actually won it or not. You'll get relegated for sure now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 What's wrong with Falcao? He's basically making a ton of money and not doing much. His knee is f***ed and he can't run as fast anymore. The agent did what was in the client's best interests. If he's not going to recover fully then he may as well earn as much as possible. And if he is going to recover, he'd do it at a club with the facilities like Man Utd. Basically the option was to earn a lot of money while recovering or to not earn a lot of money. The scummy agents are the ones that don't look after their client's best interests, the one that doesn't develop the kids, offer them guidance and make sure they know that they have to work hard. The agents who move their players around to earn more money are the best agents around. His career has been downhill since he made that ridiculous move to Monaco when he was at the peak of his career, which was his agent's doing. He's going to be remembered for nothing in the game. Just the two MOTM performances in European cup finals. League titles on a couple leagues in different continents. Absolutely nobody will remember him.

You don't think his decline is more to do with tearing his knee about a year ago (generally considered a injury that takes a year to fully recover) rather than a club he played less than 20 matches for with a 1 in 2 record?

Nobody Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Arrigo Sacchi on Italian youth teams: "We have lost our dignity and pride, because there are too many foreign players in our youth teams. In our youth teams, there are too many black players. We can't have teams with 15 foreign players each." "I'm definitely not a racist, which my managerial record proves as I had Frank Rijkaard starting for me, but looking at this tournament (Viareggio Tournament), I see that there are too many black players." When trying to save face later, he added: "I've been misinterpreted. All I said was I saw a team with four black lads starting. I've always coached teams with diverse players, and signed plenty of coloured players, both in my time in Real Madrid and Milan. My point was that we are losing our pride and national identity."

I don't believe there's any malice in it but it's very stupid... that doesn't wash with me, he's a very intelligent bloke that's managed to evolve his coaching and methods over many years. yet can come out with something as ignorant as that. it's just wrong. it's like they sort of accept other races into their culture but fail to believe that they are fully italian because of the colour of their skin. i find it so hard to believe they can be so racist, from a nation that has some of the most emigrants in so many other countries that faced much of the same thing for decades Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The changing makeup of (national and youth) teams is an representation of the changing community that they play in, which is what he's really moaning about whether he realises it or not.
