Thanks, Conte'nt!

Zizou should be appointed Field Marshal so he can oversee the invasion when Catalonia unilaterally declares independence.

A French legionnaire, should be more than capable of fulfilling such responsibility

Seems like if you want to win the CL these days, you have to appoint an over-rated manager like Guardiola, Zidane, Enrique...

More teams should invest in over-rated managers IMO

posted on 4/6/17

Guardiola hasn't won the CL for six years, so it's not working.

I dunno if it's just me, but I have noticed since Fergie retired people are focussing far more on the influence of the manager on a team compared to before.

Obviously they're massively important, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are a good reminder that players are, and always will be, the most important people at the club.

Top players win you top prizes. It's why novices like Zidane and Enrique can win the CL and La Liga.

Managers have always been more highly regarded in Blighty than here.


Anyhow, Seguna news:

After two or three agonisingly close near-misses, Girona have finally been promoted!

Cádiz are in the playoffs!

So are Tenerife.

Mallorca and Elche relegated to 2ªB!

You forgot Carlo.

There are only so many to go round though. You reckon you can tempt Rodgers backto England?

I reckon Rodgers should have a crack at the Barca job. If he can achieve 85 points in a season with only Suarez on his team, imagine what he could achieve with Suarez + 10 other players.

Carpi and Benevento 0-0 after leg one of Serie B promotion playoff

SPAL n Hellas Verona already promoted
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Livorno got knocked out of Lega Pro playoff today. Blew a 0-2 lead at Reggiana too.

Read about SPAL a couple of weeks ago. Interesting background. Can't remember any of it now.

Harsh on Iago Aspas, that. And generous on Andre Gomes.

I actually think Andre Gomes is a good ball player! He just seems to be severely lacking in the tactical/positional aspect of the game IMO.

Best Irish too

posted on 5/6/17

Geographically speaking Ireland is one of the British Isles. However, the word "British" is also an adjective and demonym referring to the United Kingdom.

For this reason, the name British Isles is avoided in Hiberno-English as such usage could be construed to imply continued territorial claims or political overlordship of the Republic of Ireland by the United Kingdom.
