blergh, basketball has come on my stream. i just don't get it. will never see the appeal in that sport.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

they are winning the title though

They weren't prepared to go toe to toe with their closest rivals, a team they've out spent and their manager has repeatedly humiliated in the media for years. They may win the title yes, but today he bottled it against a big rival.

It's just boring to watch like I said, Fergie the best manager ever wouldn't have done that.

So did you or didn't you find it boring?

No I thought it was a fantastic tactical battle.

What is it with Belgrade and road flares?

Bottled what? The champagne they're about to pour when they lift the league trophy?

Clearly you have a higher appreciation than us Fifa novices on here.

 

[rascal]

Please no football hipster Shat, it's game. A competitive sport that's built on winning not grinding out draws

You are talking about the future champions, I think they've won many games this season. Not sure though, I better check.

Get over! He did it plenty of times in the CL. It's largely how they made three finals in four seasons.

I'm fine. I'd just say you're maybe more a Benitez kind of guy and I'm more a Guardiola sort of chap.

I couldn't be arsed watching paint dry but some people love it apparently..

Bottled it?????

If anything it is the complete opposite, just did what they had to to all but seal the title. They were away to a team on amazing form and a team that, if won the game, would have renewed belief in the title while knocking the confidence of his own players a bit. They say football is a funny old game and if that scenario came about who knows what would have happened.

What Mourinho does is play the whole season perfectly, they played with flair and scored goals for fun to get into a position where he could play the way he has done over the past couple of games against major rivals.

Every manager is different and sometimes you just have to make decisions to get the job done, Ferguson may have done it differently but both of them are winners, there are many ways to win and if they do win who are we to say that it is the wrong way to do it.

Yeah bottled it.

He didn't trust his exspensively assembled squad to beat a rival in a game of football. That's why he got the boot from Madrid because he's just a pumped up Pulis.

Guardiolas barca was like watching paint dry at times.

Heynckes' Munich side are the gold standard of entertaining+successful football in recent years.

That being said id have Jose mourinho as Everton manager any day of the week. I want trophies, not at all arsed how they are come by.

Do you have trouble with your trousers?

I'm curious, did Chelsea's tactics against the RS last season cause you to fume so much?

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Do you have trouble with your trousers?

You've lost me pal.

Like I said we both prefer different ways of winning. I like to see teams win championships with the right spirit, a kind of arrogance of being the best. You prefer a more functional robotic style, just different I suppose.
