UAU

he cracked under pressure.

can't say i blame him.

[demonrail666]

I tend to agree. Even Mourinho has mentioned the ridiculous pressure. Although I also think Guardiola realised that there maybe wasn't any more he could do with that team. Shame he couldn't go out on more of a high, though. Definitely the end of an era.

[h8kurdt]

There's no way Guardiola will go to Chelsea. I honestly think he means what he says when he wants to take time out. Managing Barca must be so time consuming and incredibly stressful and you only need to look at pictures from when he first started out to now. He must've aged 10 years.

On the other side of football leagues where the hell did this strength come from for Wigan?! That's three of the main teams beaten in dramatic fashion. 4-0 against Newcastle? Good on 'em.

[demonrail666]

I agree. I don't think there's any conspiracy behind his leaving. As you say, just looking at pictures he looks increasingly exhausted. And I can't see him going anywhere other than back to Barcelona. I certainly don't think he'd be tempted by Chelsea. Although I also think he'd be a big risk for another big team. Nobody could deny his success but he had that with a team he largely inherited from the academy rather than built, and we know he isn't great with pressure.

Wigan's up-turn is just weird to me. They're just lucky it came in time to save their season.

Quite a shock, that. I really thought Redknapp was nailed on for the job. I still think 'Arry would've been ideal but consider Hodgson a better manager all round and one that would've probably been favourite were it not for his disastrous stint at Liverpool. I'll definitely find it easier supporting England with him in charge, rather than Redknapp.

dont know what to say...

except that it turns out Roy is a Croydon boy! so he must be safe

[h8kurdt]

Roy bloody Hodgson. Non I do not approve. He's had one too many bad stints to make him anywhere reliable. Finland, Liverpool and Blackburn being the main examples.

[jon boy]

so its city's to lose now. with two games to go its not going to be easy but i think with qpr facing relegation they will give united a real go. i am not a fan of man city but i hate man utd so much i hope they implode.

QPR have got City not Utd, but i do think that both clubs have got tricky games in the run in.
Swansea and Sunderland will both give Utd a good game and i fancy Martin O'Neils Sunderland to get something from Utd

but then City have to go to newcastle and then QPR. I cant see QPR getting anything but Newcastle will be tough (although Wigan took them apart...)

right its qpr v city. well i think that they will give them a good game anyway but newcastle away is a tough one.

[h8kurdt]

Bloody hell. If it was any other manager at Liverpool now the fans would be baying for his blood. But because it's Saint Dalglish they wont say sod all. Fucking idiots. Anyway I'll happily take a draw if Liverpool lost.

[SonicBebs]

I wonder what all the players who came out supporting Harry for England are thinking now. Bet Rio is shitting himself! Your staying at home boy! And you Terry!

Didn't Glen Johnson fall out with Roy at liverpool? So thats Kyle Walker starting then (he was probably 1st choice anyway...)

considering the players are a massive bunch of egocentric tits, theyre hardly gonna listen to Roys tactics are they. It doesnt really matter who we pick at this stage, we're a decade behind the French and the Germans, not to mention everyone else. The best hope we have in the Euros is playing like Chelsea did against Barcelona

his first goal was pretty good too!!

i only hope for his sake he can continue this form at newcastle next season. How often do players have a great season, get signed by a bigger club and then do fuck all?

[the ikara cult]

blah blah blah Chelsea

the REAL story of today...

 

3-3, if Spurs win both our games we're in the champions league! And I can support Chelsea in Munich.

"OK, I'll be absolutely clear about this: this match was scheduled for MBM coverage in the belief that it was being broadcast live in the UK. It is not. I am, therefore, left relying on dodgy internet streaming services. As I understand it, it is the people responsible for broadcasting these matches online who are breaking the law, and not the people watching them. If I've got this wrong, and it's the viewers who should be locked up, I'd like to make it absolutely clear that I'm not really using a dodgy internet streaming service at all. Absolutely not. Not at all. I'm am simply closing my eyes and imagining what might be happening. Honest guv."
