Mancini?

demonrail666 · 02.25.2019, 01:56 AM

Mancini dealt with a lot of shit but I don't recall him ever wanting a player substituted and that player carrying on playing regardless. I actually wonder if the referee should've stepped in. Surely once the board goes up it's a game-rules decision and he should've stopped play until Kepa went off or two yellows him for excessive time wasting. You get a yellow for clapping a refs decision and this is far worse than that.

It happened the other way around didn't it? He wanted to bring Tevez on and he refused. Not AS bad as refusing to come off, but bad enough.

They're now saying it was all a misunderstanding now. Like anyone believes that.

!@#$%! · 02.25.2019, 07:25 AM

i wonder what makes a person act like that

does abramovich keep his family captured, with guns to their heads?

i’ve been watching too much breaking bad hahaha

but seriously...

“it’s him or me”

“he stays, you stay. go tell them it was a misunderstanding.”

“ok...”

wat

I'd actually forgotten about Tevez and was just thinking about Balotelli. Yeah Tevez was a disgrace. Although I always thought there was something a bit unhinged about Mancini, too. And there just seems to be a culture of it at Chelsea. Assuming Sarri leaves in the summer, I can see a lot of potential replacements looking at that club and wondering if it's really worth it.

demonrail666 · 02.25.2019, 03:13 PM

If Kepa starts their next game I only hope his own fans make his life an absolute misery ...

until he makes a vital save, when all will inevitably be forgiven.

Same happened with Arnie at West Ham. Got shit after the transfer request shenanigans, scored a goal, instant hero again.

Drives me potty.

h8kurdt · 02.25.2019, 05:27 PM

Aye, I was thinking about it and wondering why anyone would want to manage Chelsea. Same with Real Madrid tbh. Guardiola said the other day they asked him to join years ago but refused due to their lack of long termism which sums it up. No idea who they'll get next after this debacle. I actually wouldn't be surprised if they went all out to get Simeone even if he has just signed a new contract.

h8kurdt · 02.26.2019, 05:51 PM

It's happened m it's actually happened. Everyone have actually won a game. Praise the football gods!

Such a rarity you couldn't even bring yourself to spell their name properly.

Damn spell check

And the manager culling goes on. Ranieri has been sacked from Fulham now. That team is such a mess. I never understood why you'd get promoted and then decide to totally overhaul the squad with players who don't even know each other etc. A couple of players to add to the team, sure, but you're basically saying to the players who got promoted "yeah, thanks now fuck off". Let em go down.

demonrail666 · 03.01.2019, 05:03 AM

Yeah, I can never understand that either. And never mind Ranieri, you'd have thought Jokanovic getting them promoted would've earned him the whole season in the Prem. But they're going down now anyway, I reckon. Them and Huddersfield.

!@#$%! · 03.01.2019, 06:25 AM

holy shit. everton v liverpool this sunday? hahahahahaaaa!

i look forward to h8kurdt’s commentary

This is why you've gotta admire Burnley for going against the grain and sticking with Dyche. They've been promoted, gone down, back up, stayed up and then got into Europe.

It begins. Your eye is turning to the lower leagues. Soon you'll be supporting Luton Town and wanting to find steams for League one games.

As for the first point. Absolutely. The last game I said I wouldn't watch it and look what that led to. A massive long rant from me after it.

If you can see it, the Championship is a great league. Extremely competitive and good quality. Not up to the top 5 or 6 Prem teams but I'd say all those below them would have a tough time down there. Lacks the glamour of the Prem, obviously, but that isn't always such a bad thing.

looks like espn+ might offer some games... not sure if i have access to that... would not pay separately

so how are you feeling about your match tomorrow? do you fear rafa?

demonrail666 · 03.01.2019, 10:16 AM

I'd say it's 50/50 but it all depends what West Ham turn up.

!@#$%! · 03.01.2019, 10:48 AM

and how are they with injuries, dramas, etc? any good prospects? troubles? pellegrini ok, nobody refusing his orders or shit like that?

looks like thats a standalone in the schedule i might be able to catch
