It's going to take a little more time before the media and most pundits catch up with the rest of us, and see the rags for what they are.

They're nothing but an antiquated relic of the sport, who are becoming more and more devoid of imagination, style and identity.

They were playing for set pieces and long throw-ins. Like Stoke of 20 years ago.

consider this picture then consider this - that references a point thats now 47 years in the past. Amorim is only 40 years old - his head must be in bits - he has come to a "massive" club only to find a pit of vipers that are diminished to a point he cannot even understand never mind try to fix

This is the bit I can’t understand

I can get a toxic workplace culture. I’ve seen a few of them. But normally it’s is a core of individuals who set the norm and keep it going. Usually when this gets broken up things change

They have had such a turnover of players I don’t get how it persists. Especially as every manager has had a mini purge of their own

There’s only one constant in this though we may have overlooked


Phil The Face

Even Phil isn't associated with them anymore.
 
Just read on BBC football about a manager who's been sacked after a loss to Benfica, he said he'd like to manage a lower team in the Premier League who hasn't got European football.
I don't know if he's taking the piss of them or fishing for a comeback.
 
Mourinho sacked this morning and he sounds like he’s going back to the rags.
Following a 1-1 Europa League draw with United in October where Mourinho was sent off, he said he wanted to manage a team "at the bottom of the table in England" after leaving Fenerbahce so he does not have to play in Uefa competitions.
 
I have an awful feeling in the pit of my cavernous stomach that they are going to beat Burnley, quite comfortably, and then have their tails up against us because they will have the media behind them blowing smoke up their arses, telling them things are looking up for them, etc. I hope to fuck I'm wrong and their plummet into the abyss of 3rd tier football continues, but we know what scummy cunts they are: a few decisions going in their favour and the heralding of a great new dawn for the rags will be plastered across every tabloid from here to Antarctica.

Exactly.

They really are a throw back (if you'll pardon the pun) of the traditional mid table teams, that used everything in their arsenal and played to their strengths to stay in the league.

The significant difference is the rags haven't got the game intelligence or street smarts to pull it off. They've completely lost all notions of who or what they are anymore.
 
love how that pic of trio sitting on the billboard Hojlund, Mainoo, Garnacho that was hyped by british press as iconic:DDDDDDDDDDDD, now none them will be at their clubs by next week.

replaced by very expensive lower half signings like Cunha, Mbuemo on higher salary...
