A whole load of Asian/Asian-focused companies regretting spending their money on sponsoring the "big" teams in England.

In before Klopp is fired and Mourinho brought in to replace him.
In today's zero-patience EPL this wouldn't surprise me at all.

Referee has sent off 2 men from Rayo and just gave Madrid a penalty. Business as usual I expect now.

What a BS red. 2 reds against the road side

For a world class league these are some bush league calls for the home side Madrid.
He's lost all of his scoring instincts and abilities too.Instead of getting into the box the useless fucker will come short to pick up and lose it with his shit firs touch. He's got no left foot, he can't take anything off a first touch anymore either.
I don't think you hire Mou to take over now, agree to a deal for him to take over June 1st. Of course van Gaal could be seen as a sitting duck given the recent results and that he may have lost some of the players. Things could just keep getting worse.

Even Ronaldo looked disgusted when he took the penalty.

This Madrid game became less interesting as soon as those 2 reds hit. 7-2 with 30m left.

The highest scoring game in La Liga history was a 9-5 result in 1933.
Edit: Real were denied a second penalty

They've been denied a few clear-cut penalties because the referee is avoiding the shitstorm heading his way.

That's childish. The first red was deserved, there is no need to try to influence the game.

From a fellow GAFfers Tittwr account:
Woodward has briefed media, Van Gaal definitely going with Mourinho in. Jackson, Ogden and Ladyman all reporting if he loses one, he's out.

You know, we are way further than you might thought we are.
We have become one of the top clubs in Europe, our bosses did what you write here in 2009 already with Gaal. The plan was always to get either Guardiola to implement the idea of possession based football or Heynckes doing it. Latter didn't have the vision to go beyond the A squad. Pep changed our miserable medical situation to a more up to date one, he helped laying out the new youth center with staff teaching those kids how to play Bayerns idea. He gave all our players the base for being experts in tactical behavior on the pitch. That was always his mission, thats why he signed for 3 years. He is supposed to be the architect for Bayerns play style in the next decade and beyond. Thats where he succeeded but the general german football fan simply lacked understanding what Bayern really wanted with Pep.
The results and success will be earned by Ancelotti who will lead a world class team that is very young and tactically versatile. Pep thinks he developed this A squad to the limit and only another coach might get them even better. That is why nobody else was in the race besides Carlito. His tactics, moderation and battle mentality especially in knock out games will make this Bayern team even more lethal.
A young german coach is already showing what potential he has, but he needs many years and international success to lead Bayern. I am sure that Tuchel will be our coach one day, when he proved himself and is ready for his next career step.

Blatter and Platini banned from all football activities for 8 years. Good fucking riddance.
Finally. Best news all day.
I had a feeling this would happen - 9 points behind at Christmas and not winning against Bournemouth, Norwich and West Ham after getting knocked out of the CL is not a good combo.
He did look visibly sweaty at the last press conference I saw, and although I didn't see it apparently Giggs went down on the touch line against Norwich as if to distance himself from LVG, so it seems like the jig might be up anyway.

The fellow would be heralded with cries of joy and received in triumph at Manyu. He might inject in the club a much needed shot of tradition in the arm which has gone to deliquescence since Ferguson left. He is someone who has the potentiel to resurrect the long gone image of winners for which the club was once respected and feared across Europe. Associate the word "Schmeichel" with anything which has a connection to Manchester United and you might have a shot at kissing the Lady back to life.
I am currently studying hard in order to get a good GRE score.

Him winning a game or two is not going to resolve the fundamental issues. The concern here is that he wins at Stoke or whatever, everyone relaxes and United go back into their slump after Christmas.

m8, I'm sorry, but that's hilarious.
You can't possibly believe that in 2011, the Bayern guys were thinking: "Yes, let's take this Pep Guardiola guy, who's winning all titles with Barca and has extremely close ties to the club.". Like honestly, just tell me so I know you're not completely crazy.
Having a plan and perspective is hilarious now?
Hoeness gave an interview to sky shortly after they hired Pep and he said exactly this. In 11/12 he wanted Jupp to play like Barca. In 2008 they asked Pep at the Audi cup if he could imagine working at Bayern sometime and he was interested. It was only a matter of time when Pep was available and Bayern sacrificed Jupp the moment they saw a chance to get Pep. We needed a teacher, someone who was able to bring the idea to the youth, thats why we built the new center in Munich. Bayern wanted their own la masia in order to be competitive. They wanted their a-squad to be tactically best. Watch it at YT. I know you wont ever agree to this because in your eyes we are simply lucky and peasants with no idea but deep inside you know that your hated Bayern transformed into a club with a philosophy and system that many admire, even you.
