    The FOC thread.

    Actually boring, isn't it? We didn't make it past the first 10 minutes of The Wolf Of Wall Street. If we'd read the following beforehand, we wouldn't have wasted our time: "The Wolf of Wall Street,” directed by Martin Scorsese, holds a notorious record for its staggering use of profanity...

    The FOC thread.

    Reminds me of a Cheddar Gorge holiday camp in the early '70s - we went with another family, our next-door neighbours. Buster Summer Special, 'I'm Still Waiting' was number 1 etc... and the drinks machine was like a giant fridge - put in your shilling, open the door and take out one of the...

    You think she might be a 'keeper', then?

    Be careful what you wish for... :-)

    Enzo Fernandez

    I'd forgotten that was him. Totally agree - we'd be mad to risk upsetting one of our shining lights by going in for him. Speaks a lot for his level of intelligence, too. Not a good fit.

    Enzo Maresca

    Cucurella is one of my 3 least favourite players, along with Gabriel and Rudiger. Paradixically though, I could imagine him becoming really popular if he was doing all his shithousery for us. NOR could concentrate on midfield then, as well. Not so the other two. I couldn't watch a single match...

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    I was actually starting to look forward to playing with a higher tempo next season - but it still hits hard now that it's confirmed. Edit: feels like that's our USP gone?

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    Don't worry Rodders - soon you'll be in that lovely, friendly Bernebeu dressing room.

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    So, we're all agreed: "Maresca plays similar football to Pep, so it should be easy for the players" "This squad of players can't play the way Pep wants them to" "You have to give new players time to learn the coach" "A new coach coming in might get the best out of the underperforming...

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    No, mine was just a question! Have a conspiracy-free day for once. Somebody said that sponsors wouldn't be able to get info about Pep, I just questioned it and used '98 WCF as an example of the powers that sponsors - if they are important enough - can weild. Not every post is a confrontation...

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    I often read on here about teams 'setting up' like this against us, but having watched the match involved that's not always been the reason that we faced two lines of defence. More often than not it's because of our slow build-up allowing the opposition to get back into position - I mean, what...

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    I hadn't actually heard that rumour- I was just wondering whether it entered the conversation? Sponsors often have more clout than you think - didn't it eventually come out that Nike had forced Brazil to play Ronaldo in the '98 World Cup Final?

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    I expect that there are people on here who will know this - maybe even somebody who has negotiated sponsorship deals for City? - but when talking to potential sponsors, surely a large part of the conversation is whether Pep will be in charge during the years of their sponshorship? How do clubs...

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    Emery botched up at PSG? In his two years he won plenty, including a domestic quadruple. He won as much as anybody there, before Enrique. Ancelotti 'botched' a Champions League final, 3-0 up with only 45 to play - I suppose he's crap too? I'm not a particular fan of Emery, but I'd hope that we'd...

    Pep to leave at the end of the season

    Before Vinnie went to Bayern, having seen Burnley relegated, would you have had him as a 'best coach'? I was amazed he was offered that gig, but it was obviously a great call from whoever made it. Couldn't Iraola be at that stage right now?
