Raul (atm RM Castilla) is supposedly the frontrunner. New headcoach introduced, it's not Raul, but Nenad Bjelica is taking charge there.

BigFatCoward Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Wasn't expecting to be 1 up at PSG, or expecting City to be 2 down. Edited November 28, 2023 by BigFatCoward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos he was a bit of a prick as a player, but there is no doubt that he was a far better defender than Trippier. But i'd take Trippier going forward all day long.

BigFatCoward Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Well fuck. Isak showing how not to be a graceless wanker when asked about the decision. Klopp, Arteta and Pep take note. "Unfortunate for us to get a goal against us so late. I think we started defending our goal a bit too early. It's never nice to concede a goal that late. "My first reaction was it wasn't [a penalty]. It seemed cheap. I haven't seen a replay. Hopefully it was a penalty. We have to trust the referees. "We are very proud of the team. It's not an easy place to come. They haven't lost for some time here. "We almost got the win. It is unfortunate. We always want to win, but this point will be important. We have it all to play for."

That's great for him. I'll say it - bullshit call, the powers that be couldn't let PSG flounder in the groups. Who would have though that Newcastle of all teams would have given PSG so much grief.

Isak isn’t a coach. Howe said ref was under extreme pressure and then the commentator interviewing him said “it was a horrible decision, you were robbed, it’s a disgrace, etc” and Howe went “I can’t say all of that because I’ll get in trouble but I agree with every word and you’re saying my inner feelings. This, a week after praising the refs. So yea, it suck’s for everyone when shit happens. They all feel it. Gary O’Neill went off on state of reffing and how it’s costing his team, Dr Zerbi said he hates 80% of the English refs because they aren’t good at their jobs. This shit needs to be raised, the state of reffing and VAR is massively impacting games when it was supposed to improve it and it’s up to the managers to start speaking up and put pressure on PGMOL and UEFA to sort their shit out. I get Arteta is a wanker for defending his team but he ain’t wrong about the state of officiating and that it needs to be sorted out. Won’t happen if everyone buries their head in the sand and praises them or ignores their heavy impact on the game with such thin margins. Wolves have essentially dropped 6 pts from really really dodgy decisions. Last season, Arsenal lost the league title by 5 pts and they had 6 pts worth of apologies from the PGMOL for blatantly wrong decisions. This shit ain’t fun mate.

Consigliere Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 PSG's finishing last night was absolute rubbish. They battered Newcastle and should have scored at least five goals but ended up needing a dodgy penalty call to rescue them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Well, Dortmund despite not firing on all cylinders thus far this season managed to qualify for the k.o. stage (so could theoretically Milan, but for them it's a very long shot). They just need Dortmund to get a result against PSG. That would allow Dortmund to finish first and open the door for whoever wins in the Newcastle - Milan game. Ofc Dortmund will duely lose.

No come on, he was a far better player than Neville, by far. And probably more of a dick, but not as annoying, even his own team mate described Neville as a 'busy little cunt'?

There's one Prem fullback who's definitely better than Neville (Ashley Cole). Of the top of my head there at least seven Prem midfielders definitely better than Gerrard. You can make good arguments about how Gerrard was a better player because CMs are generally more gifted and important than FBs, but Neville was closer to the top of his field. And I was complaining about a comparison of him to other fullbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
