I tell you what - first, save the smileys for someone else; and second - show how Barcelona weren't a superior team with a consistent setup dating back to 2008, whereas Mourinho took charge of Madrid in 2010. Man for man, Madrid were a good tier below them. Unless you can somehow divine otherwise.Did you just claim that Barca had a superior side
Ah yes, edited, totally forgot about Pep's sabbatical, and Tito (
).even if we finish out of top 4? keeping van gaal after that, after sacking moyes for falling out of top 4 (rightly so), would be hypocritical and downright stupid on our part.
Yeah but they're buddies so they'll be the best of fwends foreva and eva and eva and eva and...
Every day I live in hope …Guardiola clearly had stronger teams than Mourinho, every time their teams played each other. I am surprised that anyone would dispute that.Did you just claim that Barca had a superior side
You disagree with that statement!?

To be fair, he's spent very little and has bought well. Same with Southampton. I think he will even do better if he has the kind of kitty we give managers. And most importantly, will get the best out of our current lot without needing a complete overhaul.
I like the style of football he plays, but do wonder if it's feasible first of all, and secondly, if our fans will have the patience required. It would be a genuine two-three year project. A good chance he won't hit the ground running.
Yeah, all the money that Mourinho spent. It's not like Guardiola/ Barcelona bought Zlatan for almost €70 million, Villa for €40 million, Alves for €35 million, Cesc for almost €35 million, and so forth. On top of having Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol and co; and perhaps most importantly - having the most important spine players of Spain's 2008 European Championship triumph. There's a massive difference between having a 'decent squad' and the rubbish you posted before, green smileys included.
You can't be serious with the rarely came close comment? How was outfoxing him at San Siro, and stifling him in the reverse leg at Camp Nou not getting the better of Pep tactically? Especially when man for man Internazionale were inferior to Barcelona. Yeah, I like this - when Mourinho's team won they were holding onto their nuts, but Guardiola always vanquished them with champagne football. Very good.
I dread to think what the reaction at OT will be if we lost. It won't be polite applause.
He'd have to be sacked. Although he wouldn't be.
I want us to win as well.
Weird situation though, isn't it. Knowing that long term LvG is almost certainly bad for the club, but losing is the only way he gets the sack. It's also worse for us if we lose.
With he exception of Dier and Alli most of Their starting 11 was there before he arrived. The thing is I think he will get our players playing much better than they current are pretty quickly. Even though our squad isn't special if it was punching at its weight, we would be quite comfortably in the top four while playing decent football. I think fans would find that acceptable while we continue to improve. And with the up and down nature of the league whose to say we wouldn't be challenging if the players where playing at the level we know they can play. Leicester were battling relegation last year and are suddenly on top in February.
You've probably already been asked this to death, but why is your username "Mciahel"? Was that intentional?
Not quite. If we lose 10 in a row, he will get warning number 1 of 6
But normally Ed would get him a 500ml bottle, this time he only gave him a 300ml!
He'll get 5 games to save his job. If he draws one, he's safe.
