Barcelona already called BS on the Tata leaving at the end of the season rumors. Who could replace him?

I dunno if these rumours are crap or not, but to me Martino looks like a temporary replacement and they are going to try for a new manager next year.

I'll put up a suggestion, I think they might get Wenger. He is being quite noncommittal whenever he's asked about his new contract, just sort of repeating 'I always honour my contracts' etc. He clearly has an obsession with winning the champions league so he always prioritises it, with Barca he would have a definite shot of winning it. He would get to work with Messi, who's probably going to go down as the greatest player ever.

If Arsenal win the FA cup, he can say he's left with winning a trophy, guided us through the initial period of the emirates rebuild, always keeping us in the top 4, that he's always had these chances when at Arsenal but has been loyal to us but just wants this last chance etc etc. Similar to Henry I would view it.

There's probably negatives, Barca might want a long term appointment, might want someone familiar with Barcelona etc.He could sign a new contract soon, but I thought I would throw this out there.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Successful in the sense that we won the league, but the cracks that started to show seasons ago(i.e. mid-field, backline) were the most prevalent last season, regardless of outcome.

EDIT: Now with a new manager it's magnified.

It's not that what hurts though.

It's just how lifeless this team is. What happened yesterday was a disgrace. We rolled over. Absolutely unacceptable and that's what hurts.

You can allow a poor team. But giving up is just not on.

More people need to listen to Young the Giant. Love their new album and the first is one of my favorite of the past 5 years. So good.

While I don't think what you've said is wrong, I don't think Wenger would be so duplicitous if he was going to leave at the end of his current contract.

Would hurt Arsenal.

Nah mate Wenger has already signed that new contract. He will want to win the league before he leaves Arsenal. He wants to beat the oil clubs.

Wilbur vs Farid is my favourite beef in this thread.

Remember when United used to fight with other top teams? Yeah we all do, but in 10 years time, all the kids will remember is them having fights with Everton supporters, as an natural outcome of them fighting for the same Europa League spot.

Arsenal are an oil club too.

Just a different type of oil.

It's compounded with Moyes 'strategy' and 'tactics' in football.

Hard to have the passion when everything you're told to do is essentially illogical to what you've previously been doing. Footballers might be stupid but I'm sure a good chunk can grasp concepts and apply them on the pitch and hearing Moyes garbage must be discouraging.


EDIT: I'm now positive Nani can grasp no footballing concepts no matter how archaic. You'd think an 82 cross game is begging for a Nani.

:lol

David Moyes will be held in the same regard as he was at Everton. A proper manager working on a shoestring budget, who needs one of the bigger jobs in Football.

 

[subtles]

Villarreal goal!

 

[Meier]

I just love how insane the United fans are going during (not even after!) one bad season in so many years. They have no idea how lucky they have it. If these fans had to deal with how up and down American sports teams fortunes can be, they'd probably die.

So much vitriol for Moyes in that blog post linked above, lol.

 

[wedward]

Of course not, as we all know, but it's good muppet material innit.

If we buy another player similar to Ozil (ability wise) i'll be ecstatic.

Gazidis has already confirmed that Wenger has extended. I think he wants to win with a club he helped build, not inherit a title winning squad.

Yup, I think it's why 10 years without a trophy for Arsenal isn't really a big deal for me.

The basketball team I follow went 13 years without a playoff appearance.

The 49ers and Giants have had huge periods of being total garbage.

Highs and lows.

Yeah, in relation to the other teams we support our football teams are probably the easiest to support.... Don't you dare bring up the Heat on me.

American teams also switch state and location and have new players completely every five minutes due to drafts

so

Going to have to cheer myself up by remembering David Moyes is the Manchester United manager.

No, moving is rare. Especially now. I don't see how that changes things though. Sounds like most people here support teams that aren't local.

Rodrigo don't leave, Russia has shit weather and their fans are fake as fuck. Look at Witselfie and Hulk, they cry themselves to sleep every night when they remember that they play for that shit oil team Zenit.

Again, this is incredibly rare.

And if your team does move it's not like you can no longer support them.

I don't really see how it changes what Meier said though.

Supporting a team is supporting a team. If you spend a large amount of your free time watching that team you are going to want them to win, and when they don't it is painful. No matter the sport.

It is different.

There is a different culture around soccer than there is with American Football.

The sports are structured so differently in such fundamental ways that what you expect from your club can be very different.

That's not to say United fans aren't spoilt. They are. But the comparison to US sports isn't what proves it, it's a misnomer.
