I would be pissed too. Butt put all that work in only to be overlooked for someone who has basically had a cup of coffee in his coaching career. I think its obvious that Fletcher got his promotion because he's never buried Woodward or Ole on his TV work

Shameful. Massage Ole and Woodward’s egos and you get rewarded. What a joke this club is.

Ewan MacKenna: Murky questions surround Spanish football's golden era - and people might not like the answers

I just read that article about half hour ago, I never knew anything about it all this drug doping, so had to Google it
I always put their dominance down to them having the best players who all peaked around the same time

Never knew about the Ramos failed drug test either I dont think

Yup.

De Gea said this was the worst moment he's ever had at the club after the Newcastle loss last season.

Got stripped off the captaincy and it was given to Maguire.

I just thought of it. I think the reason being Butt got over looked because of the Salford connection.

'Spain thwarted drug cheat crackdown'

Dr Fuentes is doing a TV interview which is being released next week. Now his doping and football goes back up till to 2006. Before the fallout. But the best bit is doping in sport not against the law in Spain in 2006-2007.

The Dark Worlds of Barcelona & Real Madrid

It's a shame they caught Dr Fuentes too early. It gave Spanish sport/FA the heads up to make their doping programme more secretive.

Spain had a crazy run 2004-2014, Basketball, Tennis, Football, Cycling, F1. They went from being chokers to winning everything...

I'm a cycling fan so you get to know about all of these doctors and they all generally have clients in various sports too. So if they are doping in one sport then they are clearly doping in others too. If you really look into it these doctors generally come from either a cycling or track and field/Olympic background originally and then branch out.

The crazy thing to me is that doping in football hardly ever gets spoken about or exposed. We know a few players have been caught and banned over the years but its never a team being caught doing systematic doping. You never hear about any whistle-blowers or ex-players in this podcast era never get asked about or even speak about it. And in all my years of watching sports I dont believe that Football is one of the few clean sports in the world especially considering all the money that has been about in the game over the last couple of decades. So it makes me believe that EVERYONE is in on it.

Dr Fuentes said in snippet interview the other day he was specifically hired for the 92 Barcelona Olympics. When I read that I thought of 2 gold medals automatically that Spain won which he probably had a helping hand on. Mens 1500m and the Mens Football.

Fuentes indicated he first began doping athletes as far back as before the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. He claims he was told to improve performance without causing any problems.

Put Aidy Boothroyd in charge of your future internationals brehs

Want your teams to dominate possession but put them in a counter attacking shape. Waistcoat and his 3421 Unless you have off the ball runners willing to go beyond the forward it doesn't work.

fukk y'all, I tried tears of joy wen Mexico beat Germany in the last WC


There's no way posters on here can get that attached to a club that ain't even local to them, some of you are "die hard" supporters of clubs of countries you guys don't even live or have stepped foot in
Much less attend home games

Yeah I think I'll agree with you, with the amount of money in the game some teams will definitely be trying to get an advantage off the pitch.

And Spain teams domestic & international love to try and get the advantage on the pitch, ( trying to get players sent off etc ) what's stopping them trying off the pitch

I know of one person on here who was constantly accusing Liverpool of doping all last season

All this is an eye opener to me, Ramos failing a drug test etc .

I bet Rio regrets missing his drug test what got him a 9 month ban if he could have got away with it being with the biggest club in England and arguably the world at the time.
All though rumours at the time was because he would have failed because of beak not a performance enhancing drug

At least they are keeping it like our first team with waistcoat in charge
only shot on target for us was a set piece, which is shockingly bad

Let's not get excited about the euros this summer, watching them play will be about as exciting as the match I've just watched

Sentiment aside, international football is just an inferior product
