How do you like them apples bitches!

Anyone see the Celtic game? Quite astonishing looking at these stats: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20150451

66% possession compared to 34%,

I wasn't that impressed - we defended it really badly having cheaply lost the ball in the first place and once Suarez was one-on-one with a diving Krul, there was only going to be one outcome.

Would've been funny if he'd missed.

Not only are there more qualified coaches in Spain than in England, they are all promoting exactly the same style of football - the highly technical, possession-based game that has taken Barcelona to the summit of European football, made Spain's youth teams the envy of the world and allowed the national side to end nearly half a century of failure in Vienna two years ago.

T-shirts with naked girls on, I aint going seeing my nan or mum wearing that shit.

What made me say what I said, is his track record as coach in the mediocre Norwegian Tippeligaen and his football philosophy. Or should I say the lack of it. I fail to see what Berg wants with his teams, other than a good, organised back four. He's also been criticized for his leadership style, but then again that's something that could work out better in an English football climate. Had it not been for his history as a Blackburn player I doubt he'd be even considered for the role and that's the point I'm trying to make; it seems to me that he's not only there because of his qualities as a coach/manager. Opposite to Solbakken at Wolves for instance. But hey, you never know in football eh.

Oh and another former Blackburn player, Martin Andresen's being linked to the Crystal Palace job. Norwegian manager invasion in the Championship.

Difficult game for us this evening, with no Ledesma or Hernanes and a Torino side happy to stick 8/9 men behind the ball and hit on the counter it was always going to be a tough night. It didn't help that Rocchi hasn't played all year and started tonight and looked as sharp as a bowling ball...

Still, plenty of goals tonight, even in the games without Mr Zeman involved. Also, Cagliari really seem to have turned a corner since sacking Ficcadenti, that's four wins on the spin now. Or it could just be the feel good factor of finally moving into their building site/public park of a stadium.
