Diego Simeone has the ethics of Jose Mourinho's evil twin

[Sir C]

Has to be said, the morality of the thing aside, there are some pretty handy punches thrown by the Thai lad.

They're only about 5' 2", ffs. What kind of heem gets battered by a tiny little chinaman?

I know. Spark out as well. I mean the chap knows how to throw a punch and everything, but it's got to embarrassing for the bloke that his missus can take a punch better than he can.

I quite like Simeone and sometimes overlooked in the obvious tactical analysis of his teams is the fact that they have some absolutely outstanding footballers.

The ex Chelsea lad at left back was outstanding last night.Even Torres looks like a player again

[SWv2]

Gabi, Koke, Godin.

Turan last season.

All absolutely outstanding footballers.

If an apparent lack of aesthetic aesthetic-ness upsets you then it really is time for the proverbial new hobby.

Alright, steady on Football Hipster. You'll be harping on about 'die magi der DFB Pokal' next

Acknowledging or admiring the quality of AM is no longer surely a sign of hipster-ism as ready access to Sky Sports has allowed even the most casually interested football supporter to immerse themselves in Spanish football.

One of Wenger’s failings, or the failings of the Wenger era to be more accurate, has been to fool supporters into this belief about ‘proper’ football and the correct way of playing the game, a drum that was beaten very often by our now absent Turkish/Greek ageing contributor.

Proper professional football is about winning matches, which in turn can lead to tangible trophy success. Passing the ball around forever with little obvious end result, dominating possession but doing little with it does not automatically equate to proper football. Nice perhaps.

The ability of AM to shut out sides like Barcelona and now Munich is absolutely ****ing tremendous.

Wd them.

I'm just giving out safe in the knowledge you would do exactly the same thing. Or at least the old, less continental, less effette, less poncey sw would have.
