He deserved everything he got thrown at him. And I don't really think crawling to 4th place courtesy of a late goal in the very last qualifying game of the campaign is something to jump up and down about. You'd have thought he'd just won the World Cup the way he's blowing his own trumpet, not just achieved the absolute bare minimum that is to be expected.strongbowholic said:We moan when we get cliched, standard, formulaic interviews. I thought it a belter, foul language aside. The Argentine media were merciless in their criticism of Maradona and some of it was really unnecessary. The guy has every right to stand up for himself and say "stuff you, I proved you all wrong."

I mean all this "I proved you all wrong" nonsense: he didn't prove anyone wrong. In fact, he confirmed what everyone already suspected; that he's a shit manager who's woefully out of his depth.strongbowholic said:I thought he was sticking two fingers up to the press in all honesty, not crowing they are the greatest thing ever.
