Guest firetotheworks Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Banter is a way to win a debate by winding people up instead of making any points at all. It's not for me. The major failure is in believing a debate is something that should, or could be won. Exactly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 the fact that it's just accepted now that there's no chance a guardiola or a mourinho would step down a level to try to build up a club again, anyone who makes it is automatically only ever mentioned in respect of jobs like citeh, chelski, manyoo and so on i'd love a manager to walk from the top then drop down with the specific intent of builing a legacy at a club having a hard time i wonder if clubs even bother to approach them or just take it as a given themselves Aye, this whole "challenge" thing surrounding managers joining teams with more or less unlimited resources. The only challenge is with themselves. I think Mourinho is class tbf, he has taken up challenges and succeeded, but aside from Porto, it's never been exactly David vs Goliath.

Pixelphish Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I've often wondered if Jose would consider coming to us with the SBR connection. Just random thoughts while i'm bored at work but he's already won it all, maybe the thought of making NUFC a regular fixture in the top end of the table would appeal. I realise there are so many things to stop this happening including the owner, money available and the man himself, but there must be a small part of him that would love to do it for SBR. Oh well.

Neil Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Worth mentioning again what is a generally small irritation but annoys me more than it should - the BBC football feed not just putting the line-ups on until only 20-25 mins before the match, instead opting for stuff like "3 changes for Chelsea tonight" or "the team is unchanged". Just put the fucking teams up instead of waffling on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 similarly, the skysports score centre app. Is there any way to get a full feed of Saturday PL games rather than either 1) the very slow scrolling thing at the bottom 2) just the few on "editors picks" or 3) reading through the endless live text commentary?

I still think to this day that had Porto not beaten Man Utd in the quarter-final on their way to winning the Champions League, Mourinho would have worked under SBR for a year and then took over.

He was offered the job as Bobby's assistant here much earlier in his career and turned it down despite the fact Robson offered to step aside for him after a year or two. Can't imagine he'd have had a change of heart after winning the UEFA Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 My Dad falling out of love with the game completely and not watching it at all now. He is just sick of everything about it Similar to mine, mind yours has seemingly gone further. He'll keep track of results and news and watch if it happens to be on but just doesn't have the passion like he did 10 years ago. Still tells me about all the away day stories of the 70s/80s. Shame he doesn't have that level of passion but I think that will hold true for an awful lot of people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 my dad's the same. Would take me to games in the 90's when I was younger. Circa 2003/04 he'd take my mates ST if he couldn't go. Now it's got to the point even if he were offered a free ticket he would probably find something else to do, especially for a Saturday game. He'll stream and watch games on TV if he's not busy but there's definitely something making him not want to spend money or experience a flatter atmosphere than what he had at my age.
