Qualified the groups as well as league. You know I wrote that yet you seem to have purposely missed this.
I did? You mean where I mentioned Madrid were knocked out by Lyon in the last round of 16? That's meant to impress me? Hell Mancini got to the QF with Inter and I ain't impressed by that either.
Second is second. There is no way I would argue that we have had a great season this year. Win the FA Cup and its been a good season but not a great one. Pellegrini getting second and winning fuck all with Madrid does not equate to him doing a 'great job' with Madrid either.
Pellegrini has done an excellent job with Malaga this season and no one is disputing that but we ain't Malaga and the expectations and pressures are not comparable. AVB crashed and burned at Chelsea because he couldn't handle it. Spurs he is doing a lot better because the expectations are less. Everyone has a level and at 60 years of age you know what your level is and your CV will reflect it.
And that is the concern.
Second is second to the blinkered. 96 points is a great achievement.
He qualified group and finished on 96 points in a debut season. Not quite as shit as you state. You are free to think how you want, no problems. Just don't undermine actual facts and achievements to further your opinion. You made a good post except for that to be frank.
AVB didn't crash and burn either. He was there all of a few fucking months. Jesus, exaggerating a point again I see. He was told to phase out a few older members, he was still 'green' and didn't implement this very difficult task as well as he should have and ended up being double crossed by Roman. Things were so bad Terry all of a sudden could play once he got sacked even though he was injured and Cole stood up in pre-match training and said 'we will win nothing under you'.
Colem, Lampard, Terry and Drogba are the old guard, he was tasked in getting rid of all 4. They were the undoing of him yet you dismiss him and then say he's doing ok at Spurs because of ambitions being less. Bollocks. He has 2 strikers and ones ACON duty and a ****, the other is a crock who has the occasional great game. Yet he's still kept them there and abouts.
You can make a point, you make it well, but you don't need to twist and exaggerate to get your point across Bob.
