Apologies.
Games getting a little closer now (thank goodness, couldnt get any worse after the first 30mins).

So basically you're side of this amounts to the following. There's the part of football that we all see and can base our opinions on. In this case, the fact that JT was played regularly, had no visible or obvious problems with AVB and has since then spoke of his continued friendly relationship with the former manager. Then there's the side that none of us see or know anything about, the "whole range of other tactical, administrative, disciplinary, social shit".
So you've just decided that you're going to base your opinions on the latter, that is, the aspects of football that you know next nothing about.
Sounds like comments based on nothing more than dislike to me.

Don't get me wrong, Everton have outperformed them. Performances mean nothing when discussing deserved winners though imo

The real Laudrup coming through?
No club paid him to beat Everton.

Seriously though, it seems like his entire managerial reputation is based on his eloquence and playing ability more than his actual track record
edit: christ, at least Liverpool tend to hit the ball towards goal

Should have scored 3 really including Michu's header! I think they will score at least one before the end of the game.
Neuer - Lahm - Boateng - Dante - Badstuber - Gustavo - Schweinsteiger - Robben - Kroos - Müller - Mandzukic
where's Martinez? why did Gustavo have to score that one goal against Stuttgart... damn it. Also what's up with Heynckes' love affair with Dante, so far he's been the weak link. I dont get it, why wont he let Badstuber play CB und Gustavo LB.

Well, yeah. I assume that JT's messianic complex interferes when you introduce a young, itchily controlling manager with no job security and bold new plans. Not remotely to dump all the blame on him, but he's quite a good candidate - his protestations aside.
See, here's the thing. It's an opinion. It makes no odds, really. Which is why I'm prepared to accept that it rests on arguably very tenuous supposition, and I'm wholly prepared to accept (and have not denied) that it is contaminated by my loathing for Terry and Cole.
I'm fine with it being described as stale insinuation, and to drop it.

Pienaar was terrible at defending on the left.
Neuer - Lahm - Boateng - Dante - Badstuber - Gustavo - Schweinsteiger - Robben - Kroos - Müller - Mandzukic
where's Martinez?
I have to disagree here. besides that stupid mistake last week dante has been by far the best defender this year, IMO.
as for gustavo, I think he deserved the spot. he has been constantly our best defensive midfielder in the last six games when he played.
Martinez will probably play on wednesday

That is disgraceful. As soon as Pienaar plays that across, all 4 Swansea defenders just stop and stand still on the edge of the box
You think. You think. In this case, what you think is utterly irrelevant.
Could you give previous examples of his 'messianic complex' undermining other managers? And I don't mean speculation
Thank you for at least admitting it. Can't stand it when agendas are disguised as objective analysis.
Nah, no real point carrying on the discussion, really. Not like either of us are going to convince each other. Discussions about Terry tend to get really ugly in any case.
Let's move on to more interesting topics like how Chelsea will lose at home against Stoke later today.

Fuck, completely forgot about my fantasy team. Torres better do well and Hazard better not do shit today!
that's Boateng imo. Dante did a serviceable job but nothing spectacular.

Instructions on how to set up an IRC client: IRC chat setup
Guys, if no one responds for the two minutes you;re in there. Don't leave. A lot of us in there are either AFK at that moment in time or haven't checked the application.
The regulars see a lot of people pop in for 30 seconds then when they don't get an immediate response just leave! Just hang around.

I did my usual thing of putting out a team for Matchday 1 and leaving it be for the rest of the season.

Oh right, so your position is based on zero evidence and is contaminated by the skewed opinions you already hold. So in other words, your assertion is absolutely worthless. Good to know.
It would perhaps be easier to tell you were just talking nonsense based on personal feelings though if every post wasn't overstated and dressed up in grand language.

Damn Swansea defense... :lol

No doubt.
Even if is true, it is irrelevant to the discussion.
Both of them have been really poor in their own half, it's up the CBs back to rescue them. And Howard of course.

This game is really good! Can't believe there has not been another goal.
I am exactly the same! I have Hazard as captain.

I don't even bother checking it to be honest. Listening to the new album from The Soft Pack at this moment, like it.
Shields from Grizzly Bear is my favourite this year so far.
