He's right, they could.

If they had Pep's experience, his flair, his talent, his intellect, his ability to motivate players, his ability to analyse games tactically, his ability to identify weaknesses in an opposition, his ability to understand the club's own weakness and how to remedy them...

Yeah but apart from that, he’s got a point right??

 

[Blue Til Death]

So why haven't they?

Because they were Mark Hughes, Alan Ball, Stuart Pearce etc etc I guess :-)

 

[Blue Til Death]

That’s ridiculous. Probably one of those where the (clickbait) headline doesn’t match the content.

I will never know mate, I don’t click on shit like this ..

Some scribbler in the ToryGraph this morning wants to add a bit of sensationalism to the daily football scene -
The Gyökeres miracle; From lower-league to outscoring Haarland.

What isn't writ large is that Haarland has his goals from the toughest league in world football, whilst Victor has his from a minor European league. But never mind it makes a wonderfully sensational but incomparable headline.

The same paper also oozes sympathy for the Mings howler (which last night the BBC described as 'bizarre' but today it's a howler, and the stuffing the Arse got in Milan, and guess what, The Arse were denied two penalties. That compares with the high amusement another English team provided on Tuesday. Is their a bigger collection of snidey, hypocritical, sneering bastards than those that fill the football pages of the RDAHMeedya?

Not read the article obviously but did their analysis also include international goals? Is this new superstar also a record breaker for his country.

Mark Hughes struggled a lot as a manager but he'd struggle even more trying to be an English manager.

Not quite. 24 games and 10goals. I make that one goal every 2.4 games. For Norway Erling has 34 goals in 37 games - nigh on scored every game for Norway.

That’s a very good point well made mate.. Two outta three ain’t bad :-)

What is Delooney's response when his unbelievably blatant hypocrisy is pointed out to him? Does anyone know?

It wouldn't surprise me if it was "I work for the Independent not a Russian Oligarch and a Saudi Sultan."
