Yo the commentator from TUDN Vivo just said something hilarious : "James Bond tenia licencia para matar y Fernandinho tenia licencia para pegar" :russ:
Dudes were baffled at how Fernandinho was able to not get carded :bryan:

Lol so did Jermaine Jenas when Fernandinho fouled Neymar for that last free kick... "how has he not been booked all night :dwillhuh:"

Posting grainy videos from the 80s:unimpressed:

"Legacy videos" like "legacy fans" hard to understand ma franchised out bredda ?

Roma is the worst club Jose has managed since he became a big name manager.

Roma is NOT a worse club than the Chelsea that Jose took over in 2004 :ufdup: .

Back in 2003 when Kerry Dixon and Ron "Chopper" Harris were the club's heroes and they had somehow managed to tap up some pre-retirement players like Gullit.

Meanwhile Roma had Totti, Cafu, De Rossi, Falcao etc at their peaks.

But you don't know anything about that... :mjlol:

That's not an insult though. You actually don't know.

In 2003 the top English teams (big 5) were Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, Spurs.

This is the all time English 1st Division table - just to show where Chelsea were league-wise relatively speaking.

Chelsea was the team in the rich part of London with racist thug fans and locals who didn't understand or care for football (as they preferred posher games like cricket or rugby (union)).

The trajectory of his career is clear no matter how hard you try to fight it.

Hiddink, Hitzfeld, LvG, Robson (Bobby) even Wenger.

Wenger went from Monaco to Japan == "coli finished". Then went to Arsenal.

LvG Barca to AZ .. then to Man Utd

Rodgers Liverpool to Scotland .. then to Leicester .. then turned down Arsenal.

the examples are everywhere but you don't know AND when it's pointed out to you, you ignore.

Jose (even as a success) for historic reasons cannot go to the biggest clubs.

Real 99% rules out Barca. Inter 99% rules out Juve/AC. Bayern and Jose won't match. PSG just hired someone.

Once you have managed at top clubs in the big 3 (ex-Germany) moving to the other top clubs is less likely. Possible but less likely.

We are talking about 12 seats ONLY and at any given time no more than 2 - 3 max are open at the same time.

We are talking about 12 seats ONLY and working at some are auto-disqualifications for others. That means that in reality that 12 is probably only really 5 - 6 opportunities. This is demonstrated by the dearth of managers who have managed for many of them.

Deserved for City, though Fernandinho should have been off first half.
This match was more even than the second of the first leg. But overall City took their chances.
PSG are mentally weak, Di Maria especially, WTF was that?
Neymar was too selfish without Mbappe on the pitch.

I better find out that Mbappe was injured, otherwise just fire Poch.

PSG project is done imo. Everyone is dipping.

too many holes to fill IMO. LB, RB, 2 actual midfielders. Unless they get lucky with their academy..since you can’t just spend anyhow now

PSG president is on the UEFA Financial control board, he's good.

But like someone said they can just poach around ligue 1 and build a great side for relatively cheap, especially with the profit they get when they sell Neymar to a qatari side.
