Lucky they had cable in their reception, I cheered so loud the staff gave me funny looks for the rest of my stay there. He is a funny player, can look one of the best in Europe one season then a pile of horse hung the next.

I just know that i don t like sunderland and that the more they lose and feel like it s unfair the happier i am. Newcastle rules the north, sorry about their little ass. And di canio seriously?? What went through their mind?? They got what they deserved.

Guardiola is higly overrated. Why did Bayern Munich had to change coaches?

if you think your team are going to do well this season, put that down. also how much money spent and who they`ve bought and i you think how good they will do (the new players that is).

as a Man City fan, my expectations of this year are quite high. with our dodgy ex-primeminister of thailand now in control with all his dodgy money . we`ve spent around 40 odd million on 8 players at the moment. more to come hopefully.

Heynckess said he would retire at the end of the season, maybe that s not a good reason?
While I disagree that guardiola is highly over rated (unless you are a real madrid fanboy living in a cave that has never seen the real tiki taka), i agree that his salary is completely over rated.

Yeah, when I was ending my post I remembered he was retiring but left it like that anyway.

What happened with Barcelona FC when Guardiola left? Tito did it fine. And when Tito leave? Martino is doing good. So maybe it doesn't depend so much on the coach.

Much difference with what's happening with Manchester UTD.

Speaking of "tiki taka", someone from inside Barcelona FC said recently that the "tiki taka" was created by Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and Busquets, didn't mention Pep. And btw, I find "tiki taka" extremely boring, I can't stand to watch a complete game by Barcelona FC. It might be extremely effective but if every team in the world played like them, I wouldn't watch football at all.

And yes I'm a RM fanboy. BTW, how is Betis doing? Still in Primera?

Are you that thick?

betiko wrote:How can busquets invent the tiki taka you smart person? If you had a bit of football culture, you would know that it somehow started in Mexico, your homeland. Juanma Lillo was coaching a taco team there. He was a well known coach for the spectacular play of his teams, with a lot of verticality, movement forward and scoring lots of goals. His teams had alwYs been shit in defense... Anyway, Pep spent a lot of time there with him in Mexico to theorize about football attack. Hopefully he took just the best from him as his teams were total shit defensively.

Congrats to your poster boy. great ballon d'or win. I never saw a player win so many things in just a year, leading his team to so many successes. Most deserved ballon d'or ever!

\ At least u didn't have a perfectly good goal chalked off at 1=0 against the champions=elect which may have changed the momentum of the game.Never liked the interfering with play rule but it should be fairly applied if we must have it.

Agreed, but I'd rather that than out worst defeat in 55 years.
