Ha. Didn't he do the same thing with Trossard? The gaslighting bugger.

Yes you have to take the rough with the smooth. Most of the players seem like they'd die for him. And he's improved pretty much every single player whilst being totally open minded about starting different players who perform. Mitoma becoming a first teamer, Steele coming in, the phasing in...

Don't try and listen to it on the sly through earphones. 'I'd just like to thank the Bridesmaids, you all look beautiful, the page boys, well done lads and the hard working bar and catering staff. And finally a big welcome to our family for my new son in law... ENCISO!!...erm Simon, welcome to...

Yes, I think De Zerbi is the mother of all 'my way or the highway' guys. I would suspect a bit more over the years (if we have him that long).

You can dislike the managers position. You can think he's full of crap, and you can hate not seeing a pathway to the first team but he simply has to be there for the team. He's made himself unavailable for selection for the remaining games. Including Newcastle, Man City and Arsenal. Hes also...

About the time he was dropped? The other thing that needs to be addressed is how disrespectful it is to Steele. The goalkeepers code dictates you help the other keeper even if you have to bite your lip as it happens to everyone at some point.

This is an incredibly sympathetic reading! The season absolutely isn't over and he's got a job to do. To compete, be ready and support his colleagues. What a time to act like a prick. All he has to do is wait a few weeks snd he can knob off on his own terms. Total arrogance.

Yes I'm the same. And never thought I would be. I thought crapping on about playing 'the right way' and watching scintillating football was the preserve of football tourists and sad act entitled part time fans of the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona. But I've come to the conclusion this season...

Depends on the circumstances. If I was flying on my own without family and it was a relatively short flight I probably would. I've been 'the family' a few times and have always appreciated getting help. Not moving per se but just being reasonable to a young family who are struggling. That...

It's interesting what you say there about RDZ wanting to achieve at the highest levels. I'm sure it's broadly true and the same with most managers but someone else linked an interview he did where he said whilst he'd be interested to go back to Italy 'one day' if you look at his background he's...

Yes. Will have to wait and see but that doesn't sound too purturbing. If their is no financial trigger than I expect its a written version of a gentleman's agreement (not a willy!). That allows them to talk to / negotiate contract with champs league clubs etc. Personally speaking there was no...

Some big lessons for the likes of us there though. 1. Separate your income from the wealth of your owners (see also Chelsea, Everton) 2. If you have a working model of recruitment stick to it and don't be tempted to compete in a different way when success comes. 3. Don't mess abut with your...

Definitely. Seem to have a lot of crocks. That 'Yes' Ndidi looked great for a while but seems to be injured all the time too.

Not for about 10 years apparently.

Yeah and Webster

They're both off. Im Chill about it now. The sad fact is this season has been almost constantly interrupted by hand wringing over players leaving. And we are our own worst enemies for it a lot of the time. Its going to happen so you may as well chill and accept it and look forward to enjoying...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Felix Johnson hasn't been told anything by anyone except when his mum told him to stack his dinner plates in the dishwasher properly.

Huh?

I don't see how it's possible unfortunately. I think we need tye money from those sales. Putting them on massive contracts doesn't suddenly bring equivalent investment or money I'm from other areas unless you can magically get on the CL every year. I also think it pulls the esprit de corps...

They corrected it! I'm certain it said Encisco yesterday!
