Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

oh yeah @penfield that peri peri is available anywhere you can find portuguese people (except brazil, because brazilians think milk is spicy). they jacked it from mozambique, then back to portugal, and when mozambique became independent in the 70s, the white folks needed a place to live where the new ruling government wasn't mad at them, so they dipped into s. africa.

actually nando's peri-peri, the chicken chain that's mozambique/portuguese food, started in south africa i think

which explains why i ate it every day when i was in massachusetts, which is not as cool a place as south africa

I think it's a brilliant move.

Sociedad play exactly like his old Everton team played. Man United wanted to be some bully offensive team and you can see how that's panning out. Basically the Man United during Moyes away form (top 4 form) = his Everton style. And it helps that Sociedad mostly plays like that and don't mind it.

All Moyes had to do was tweak the home strategy, but he really didn't do that.

And now MU is unbalanced in the other direction, 4-1-1 at home and 0-3-2 away. As we all know, would rather have the "meh" home form that can be fixed with great away form over bad away form and excellent home form. Good at home and bad away is basically THE midtable fixture profile.

I think it's a decent move by them as well, they (and moyes) don't have that much to lose. I remember reading that he was looking out for the Tottenham spot (is that true @Max B ?) but I hope he can save sociedad from relegation, should be interesting either way

i think he will have a decent amount of difficulty adapting at first, he doesn't speak spanish from what i've read

They have 2 wins, and those are over Real and Atletico, which is amazing

IMO he'll be just fine, just based off that one stat they don't lack motivation they lack positioning and drilling, and as you know the weak overrated diva Man United players couldn't handle it and wanted him out

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...wnfall-OId-Trafford-claims-Rio-Ferdinand.html

But Ferdinand thought Moyes made a number of key mistakes, among them the banning of what had long been part of a traditional pre-match meal. He said it was ‘a ritual’ to have ‘low-fat chips the night before a game’.

Ferdinand said the United players ‘loved’ their chips but within a week of becoming manager Moyes had banned them ‘for no good reason’. ‘All the lads were p****d off,’ complains Ferdinand. He says the moment Moyes left and Ryan Giggs took temporary charge, chips returned to the menu.

Moyes believed in going for a pre-match team walk. Ferdinand said this was anathema to the players. ‘When lots of little things start changing its destabilising,’ he said.

The fact that no matter how poor United are playing they will always be the most talked about team in the Prem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

arg/bra/col top teams, mex/chi/uru 2nd tier

3rd and 4th tier is trash. jamaica, self-explanatory. bolivia is trash, venezuela has improved but still trash
peru is mediocre at best, this is the worst paraguay in ages, and ecuador aint playing at 17,000 feet
