An utterly repulsive pair of individuals, and no mistake.

You have to admire a manager who makes an €100 million player look like he has never seen a football beforeQuote:

I really am starting to hope he's lost it - whatever 'it' is or was.Quote:

I think they will struggle for Champions League again which is quite embarrassing given their layout on playersQuote:

Leicester have now been found out. Not a bad team but as challengers for the top spots - one-hit wonders. Wouldn't read too much into any demolishings of them. In fact, the disappointment is we only played them in the second game, away, when their cocks were still a-hoop.
Credit to the media for being critical of Mourinho's cynical tactics, Times gave him a pretty good kicking this morning. Of course, Robbie Savage thought he got it spot on.
Watching that Portuguese greaseball drag the Munichs down would be one of the most enjoyable things I've ever seen in football.
Leicester City haven't been found out so much as simply returned to being Leicester City, I reckon.Quote:

Imagine if Leicester get relegated....not the most impossible thing in the world.
Not impossible but there are some very poor teams in the league this season, especially when the going gets tough and injuries, suspensions mount.
Sunderland are certainties to go down, which leaves just two spots. People underestimate Fat Sam's achievement in keeping them up. I think that team might have been the worst in the history of the premier league at least.
Yep. Agree with that too.Quote:

Villa have seven and are in the Championship.
Ask fans of Wolves, Blackburn, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday etc - all multiple winners and all outside the top division.
Right. Amazing that that's how it goes.Quote:
