You'd have thought with the money he earns he could get a better one than a £20 costume from Argos.

Oh and I know how all you Arsenal fan love Owen...

‘Despite people constantly telling me Mesut Ozil is world class, his inconsistency means that we only see occasional glimpses of real quality.

‘His odd good performance is usually followed by half a dozen poor ones.’

And a Newcastle fan should know how the Europa League disrupts your league for, especially for clubs like Newcastle & Swansea.

He was joking about the tactics bit. If you've not used an editor, I'd report it on the SI bugs forum.

That's not a bad shout at all actually.

I wonder if they might be the first club to take a serious look at Pochetinno as well.

I get the impression that both managers would bring something close to the vision that I think the Spurs board have of the football they want to play.


I was thinking of Pochettino as well actually. Argentinian as well, might be able to get their record signing playing.

On the subject of Pochettino, can he actually speak English now? Surely he can't be using a translator still for team talks etc.

Well call it what you want, but for all AVB's supposed genius in winning that treble he's shown a real inability to actually do anything at this level.

He's incredibly tactically rigid, seems to have an awful rapport with his players and seems totally incapable of getting the best out of anyone. He was, I'm not making a pun, bailed out last year by Bale who often produced magic to win tight games but I never really thought he had any idea on how to beat teams in this league. I don't think he's helped that he likes a style of football no one can enjoy.

I mean put it this way, he took Redknapp's team that finished 4th and finished 5th with them and now is putting out a team that looks clueless even in games they win. It's certainly not the improvement they were expecting when they got rid of Redknapp.


He's extremely stubborn, which is probably why he's failed in England. Won't drop the high defensive line which players like Terry & Dawson claerly cannot play, and plays the game at a too slow a pace for the league. Also I think that he expected the same culture in players in the EPL as at Porto, when he'd often be texting the players etc. He probably tried to get close to the players, something which doesn't really happen here.

Oh and he got more points than Redknapp's team, just the other teams around stepped it up a bit.

Although if it's true that he lost the dressing room, there's no getting it back.

I think they should go all out for Laudrup, or get a stop gap like Capello till the end of the season and then go for him.

Whats he done since?

Spent a fuck ton of money at Chelsea and made them worse, spent a fuck ton of money at Spurs and made them worse.

He's still living on the reputation he earnt with a team that was vastly superior to anything else in the Portuguese league, he did well there and at Academica, but has anyone actually been impressed by him since he took over English clubs?


Despite that, putting his success at Porto down to luck is highly ignorant.

Was always going to go today.

AVB is a very average manager who was very lucky at Porto imo.


Wow.

Great performance all round. Of course the red played a part, and it was a tad harsh. Sakho was awesome today. Looks so ungainly though.

Bielsa, make it happen Levy.

The problem with changing the trophy pictures is that it's the same picture of the trophy whatever league you're in I think. For example if you make the league trophy the Premier League trophy, it'll show that for every single league.

I think anyway.

Henry on MOTD

Someone who might not be boring for a change.


Who had Martinez at the last WC? (or might have been the Euros). I just remember him giving some great tactical insights.
