Haha love the logic. "It was a good goal, so stand it shall."

good to see that he finally started to live up to the hype

he was so brilliant at dortmund in the end-- took him over a year to get going though

It looked for a while like Mourinho was freezing him out, but he always said he was just waiting for him to adjust. Last couple of games he's been excellent. I imagine he'll be a regular starter from now on.

So that Bradley in charge of Swansea nuttiness did not fly, eh. Me, I'm shocked. Shocked I tell ya...

demonrail666 · 12.29.2016, 07:45 AM

Bradley didn't stand a chance. Swansea are a mess with or without him, the fans wanted Ryan Giggs and too much of his time was spent having to defend some of his football vocabulary to the more tabloid end of the British media.

ow. poor coach bradley. he's a decent man!

demonrail666 · 01.01.2017, 11:39 AM

If Mkhitarian's goal was undermined by it being offside, Giroud just scored a wonder goal ... and it's legal!

Is this for NCAA too? If so, RIP Huskies. Nice season. Fuck you, Alabama.

Was a good one. He's a dildo, but how he's not started more often baffles me (and the rest of us)

Oh shit, this is real football, not American "football." Yikes. Sorry. My bad.

In that case, WOO SOUNDERS! MLS CUP CHAMPIONS!!

I don't care what the league is, so long as it's football and people wanna talk about it.

He is a dildo. He should start more but only because he's the only striker they have. Wenger should've brought in someone far better a long time ago. He's a mid table striker in a top 4 team.

Anyway, Sanchez has been carrying Arsenal big time this past couple of seasons.

Damn straight. AND he passed the ball to Giroud calculating with millimetric precission that it would reach the latter's heel! Well, either that or Giroud actually kept running forward even though he'd miss the pass, but then got luckier than a son of a bitch.

In any case, ALL GLORY TO ALEXIS.

Rep points to you, sir (or madam). I like you.

Is Pep losing it?

It was weird watching that. It's something you'd expect for Mou, not him.

If anything, this whole situation is just gonna test his resolve and ability to handle the fact results aren't going his way. You reckon he'll pull through or will he storm off in a strop?

!@#$%! · 01.03.2017, 12:30 PM

what the fuck was that? looked like he was gonna cry

maybe he needs another year off smoking weed in brooklyn

but what's the bravo story? what happened?

it's all very confusing because the articles i found assume i've already witnessed this

ETA: ok i found the full transcript

http://www.skysports.com/football/ne...y-over-burnley

he gonna retire? maybe mourinho was right about his baldness

demonrail666 · 01.03.2017, 12:45 PM

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he does storm off. Not immediately but I could see him going at the end of the season. It's uncharted ground. He's never been in this position before and the signs so far suggest he isn't dealing with it well. Mourinho complains but you never get the sense he isn't in control - even when he wasn't (like at Chelsea). It always feels tactical with Jose, whereas Pep seems genuinely troubled that 'good football' doesn't always prevail here.

His flaws were obviously papered over in top heavy leagues like La Liga and the Bundesliga but even when Man City win, their style seem to be struggling to cope with the hyper competitive nature of the Prem. And I'm not sure that he's capable of adapting to it, or even willing to.

!@#$%! · 01.03.2017, 12:49 PM

his flaws were never papered over in the CL :P

i do wish the bundesliga wasn't so top-heavy though, for sure
