81 crosses but Vidic ain't won
He became really likable after the 08/09 season for some reason. Moved onto another level as a player, and nearly cut out the gamesmanship. Similar to Suarez this season, I'd argue, though Suarez has already obliterated any chance he ever had of being likable
I cannot speak for old Drogba but any idea what happened after 08/09?

When he hit the post with that volley, put the ball out of play for diving Monreal, then struck that free kick on Saturday. It was hard to hate him.
His reaction when getting subbed off too, despite not having got involved in the goal scoring, was very mature.
Completely different player to under Dalglish... He'll probably kill someone at the World Cup or something now.

Dunno, he was the best striker I've ever seen in 09/10 though. Maybe he just thought he should cut it out as it wasn't adding anything to his game, and its probably not nice to have an entire country think that you're a bellend
Big mistake then, even bigger now.
Phil Neville for fuck sake.
FUCKING PHIL NEVILLE

And Ryan Giggs. And Paul Scholes. And Nicky Butt.
Lovely. Presumably because they were good players they'll be great at coaching!!

The first 32 seconds. Holy moly, that impression. SPOT ON.

Its not that he was dangerous like Chris Morgan or convicted of racist language like Suarez, just constant diving, feigned injuries and the like.
He had this bad reputation since PES6.

We took a risk that tbh didn't seem to have much supporting it aside from Swansea's style of football, and Rodgers' age. I imagine FSG took a lot of convincing before they made the final step of offering him the contract, especially since they'd spent so much money already buying the club, wiping out our debt, sacking Hodgson, buying Carroll and Downing, and sacking Kenny.
Moyes was obviously a risk as well, but the entire ideology behind getting him seemed to be 'did a great job with a small budget, imagine what he could do with a good budget. Scottish as well.'
Did the board even look at other options? Common thought is that Mourinho was considered but judged to be too short-term, but is there any solid evidence for that? Seemed to me like Moyes was Plan A, B and C from the second Ferguson announced his retirement.
I've never been into the whole JRPG, Anime and Manga thing. I feel like I'm missing out but I just don't see the appeal in the slightest. The art style, the stories, the characters.
Can I change this, or am I stuck this way? I want to play Persona and see what the fuss is about, but from the outside it just seems weird.
Help me, FootyGAF.

Drogba has become so very overrated since that CL final, it's really quite strange. When you look at his actual goals scored, it's really not that impressive.
There are 3 seasons at a 'top level', 30 goals or more, with one of those coming in Ligue 1 for Marseille. Other than that he is a 15 goal a season striker, not bad but certainly not a top level striker, Robbie Keane for example was a 15 goal a season striker .
Now, of course there was a lot to his game aside from just goals, but Drogba is oft hailed as one of the best strikers in the PL history, seemingly only off the back of the CL win. His record pales in comparison to the likes of Henry or Shearer.

Moyes should bring Jardel back from retirement. I bet he who could turn a couple of those crosses into goals.
His 99 header and jump ability made everyone hate him. Any cross to him resulted in a goal. See the 2012 final
One of the best jerseys we had but the strange positioning of the "T" ruined it a bit. Still have the techfit version and makes me feel so sexy when I cheer in that spandex.

The logic of it is too painfully obvious.
Of course he wants to be surrounded by familiar mediocrity.
Of course he wants coaches that have trained the likes of Leon Osman and who have never had to train world class players.
Of course he wants coaches that know how to play limited football.
calling a negro, negrito is racist? pls.

When I think Techfit I think of sexy Robben!

I don't think that's what he said. I think what he said was the exact definition of racism.
Yeah it's a brilliant phrase.

Its just so desperate and pleading, like a man in a rapid clinging on to a moss-covered rock. How can a corporate big-wig expect an audience to accept endless excuses because of a few mitigating circumstances. They want games and things that justify the hundreds spent on the console, understanding why things are the way they are is almost irrelevant.

So, Wii U = Moyes
I would assume Fergie and the board would have pined for Guardiola a tad, but considering how early his move to Bayern was confirmed and everything you say about Moyes it wouldn't have been much more than a brief flirtation.
No. Just accept it as I have. All spiky haired baggy trousered cunts.
Genuinely unplayable at times. Strong, fast, a leader, charismatic, a consistent scoring rate, a penchant for doing it in important games, and a gret striker in what I think is the premier league's best side ever. He might be the most impressive all round striker I've seen to be honest, and I thought this before the CL final and I'd assume a lot of people do too.
Fulham have also been top defenders of crosses this season. I really don't know what Moyes is doing.
Especially for someone who is all about reactivity to an opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
I don't think he is right. Mata's preferred position is through the middle but he's shown he can be effective from the wings. He's not the quickest but he's got more than enough skill to beat his man comfortably and his crossing is usually quite good.
There needs to be more movement from the rest of the team to get the best out of him, even playing in his favoured central position.
More like Moyes = Iwata
Persona is boring. Don't do it.
But people put hundreds of hours into it, it must be good right? I get bored after half an hour of FIFA.
