How about for managing a team which is clearly massively inferior to you corrupt fucks to a draw, allowing them to nick it on penalties?
Why should any manager get any credit for any penalty shootout win?
"clearly massively inferior" :lol :lol :lol in what world is their team clearly massively inferior? Their team is better than yours, all over the pitch, and even on the bench. Our XI is really not THAT much better than them, they have a team capable of winning the title, but for some reason they're massively underachieving (that reason could be Rafa's bizarre rotating policy), which is why Rafa is a couple of bad results away from getting sacked for the 2nd time in Italy.

Higuain and possibly Hamsik/Calejon are the only Napoli players I'd put in Juve's first 11. Possiby whoever their leftback is because Evra is dogshit
edit: On reflection, massively inferior was pushing it perhaps. But they are clearly inferior to you to the extent that beating you in any circumstance is deserving of some credit, penalties or not. And Liverpool are definitely massively inferior to Juve, so I don't really get how that's relevant. We're barely in the top half of the table, nearly half way through the season.

As someone who knows a thing or two about writing bad posts I can only say I feel for you.
Possibly Hamsik SLASH Callejon :lol they BOTH would start in our 4-2-3-1, along with Dries Mertens on the left.
Maggio is fantastic with Napoli and Ghoulam is clearly massively vastly superior to Padoin and Evra.
yet his team is two points away from midtable.

I said yestersay that I have no idea why they are performing so poorly. I thought they should have been the automatic rivals to Juve last year, and should be doing a lot better in Europe.
Rafa has been poor so far and I don't see him as an improvement over Walter Mazzarri

I just had a look at Rafa's actual trophies.
The man's a second rate trophy specialist bar one CL and one La Liga title.
Loves the odd Community Shield style 'trophy' or five.

bit harsh. They nicked a draw in the dying minutes of a glorified friendly and won a penalty shootout 8-7

So you'd dispense with Marchisio and Lichtsteiner?
I'll be honest, I didn't realise until thinking about it how poor your proper attacking wide players are compared to the other areas in the team, so Callejon and Mertens would probably get in by default
^with that formation we can only pick two midfielders so I'd go with Pogba and Vidal, even though the former is better closer to the goal

I wouldn't go that far, but its a bit silly to use minor (less major at lest
) trophies as a stick to beat him with since nobody would give a shit if he didn't have a Super Cup or Club World Cup to his name. They're just gravy, and he was fortunate to be in the CWC since it was Mourinho's Inter that qualified for it. 2 La Ligas, a Champions League, and FA Cup and a Copa Italia is a decent haul. Not many non-fanatics regard him as being in the top echelon of managers, or even second from top, and he's done okay for someone in that third tier imo.And let's be honest, winning the CL with a team starting with Djimi Traore is worth 10 trophies.

Julio Arca leading the lads in a good old rendition of "Shearer is a wanker" at Sid James Park the other day. What a bloke.
Someone was asking when we were playing FIFA the other day why I use the #33. Partly for Julio, to whoever asked. Partly for Julio.
And also
He wore 33 as well when Di Canio was being a cunt.
And so did this twat who I loved
#33 is for winners.
I had no idea Gyan was 33, guess that makes sense with him being 3 for Ghana. I loved Gyan in the 2010 World Cup.

Still surprises me whenever I remember that Gyan has knowingly pissed his career up a wall for a few extra million
92 goals in 72 league appearances for Al Ain. What a fucking waste of time.

Why are you getting upset over whatever Hitcher says?
"Vidal's goalscoring record is not impressive"
That tells you everything you need to know about Hitcher's mental reasoning :lol

One of the boffins can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 'you' and 'your's' are both correct in that sentence.

to be fair, he said it was "unspectacular"

Which would be irrelevant anyhow considering I haven't misunderstood anything you've had to say
It's so boring how when one of you lot doesn't have an actual retort goes for the "reading comprehension" low hanging fruit. Come back to me when you can reading comprehend three languages babe XOXO

1) Your first post made direct reference to your own poor reading comprehension, with a hint of amnesia or misrepresentation thrown in
2) Why should I respond maturely to said post?

On my way to a date with a fine looking one now, actually I am a bit nervous.
Dressed well, smelling good, but decided to get a haircut for it yesterday and now look like Gary Oldman out of The 5th element.
Pray for me GAF

Ok I think I have entered bizarro land. On Saturday I saw a western girl wearing a cat outfit and talking to old korean men in an electronic mall, and now I am on the train with a western girl dressed in a sailor schoolgirl outfit.
:lol, terrible grammar
Anyway. Benitez is good, winning La Liga with Valencia is a huge achievement. Did well at Chelsea too.
Napoli are good but I'd hesitate to say they're anywhere near Napoli. Higuain is overrated; scores a lot because he gets so many chances created for him, not because he's especially prolific.
Hamsik is great, Callejon has a good scoring record but reminds me of Pedro who isn't a brilliant footballer himself, Mertens is talented but inconsistent.
Jorginho's decent, Inler used to be better than he is now. Ghoulam and Maggio are good, Albiol is rank average.
What's this about Andy Tate and a BT Sport ad.

Guardian have updated their best player list
I can guess 9 of the top 10 (to be announced tomorrow) but am struggling on the last one.
Messi
Ronaldo
Robben
Suarez
Lahm
Neuer
Aguero
Neymar
Muller
And I dunno. Ibra, Hazard, Iniesta have all already come up.
Marchisio not being there is also a bit funny

Haha, I will try and make Totti proud.
Edit: Totti being in the 70s is disgraceful. Fuck the guardian.

De Gea.
It'll be funny if there's no Chelsea player in that list though. Top of the table and all that.
