SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2021/22

LOL!

 

Not sure about amazing. When you manage Real, PSG, Bayern, Juventus and Chelsea it's kind of expected you'll win titles. No title = sacked.

 

I think if i were European traveler i would check to see if any club from my country were playing a big match that coincided with my visit before i made plans. Some German dude in Glesga on business who's not even a sports fan hops into a bar for a drink and gets beaten up because of his accent.

 

Well, its pretty cool & unique. And an amazing medal collection!

 

I cant imagine how raging i'd be if i booked a city break then Rangers ended up playing there that week

 

Poor Hut gets his head caved in for "supporting" Rangers.

 

'Im a Sellik fan honest!'

 

"Lyin' bastard, get him!"

 

Kind of makes me wonder if that happened if fans would have a huge laugh or still be angered because it the attackers did it thinking the victim was "one of theirs".

 

Question: if we award 10 points for playing talent and 10 points for coaching talent, who is the greatest all-round football man ever? Cruyff?

 

Perhaps. Other names that come to mind would be Beckenbauer and Zidane.

 

Gotta by Cruyff.

I can see why he's often considered the 4th greatest ever behind Messi/Pele/Maradona.

 

I think it has to be Cruyff by a fair bit followed by Beckenbauer. Maybe if Clough hadn't gotten injured at a fairly young age he could have been up there. He was by all accounts a phenomenal footballer.

 

Dalglish should get an honourable mention too, although his managerial career from Newcastle onwards was pretty awful.

 

Still got to two Cup Finals.

 

Ancelotti needs a mention.

In fact I'd have him ahead of Cruyff.

 

Ancelotti did , as a manager, the double with Chelsea, a European cup with Milan and one Final, two finals with Real, winning one and the other pending. That's just what I can think of.

As a player he won the lot with AC Milan.

 

He did, but he destroyed that Newcastle side and they were woeful against Arsenal in the final. The Liverpool side he inherited in 2011 wasn't the best but there were still some world class players like Suarez there. You have to measure him against his own past successes and I think even he'd say he didn't do too well.

 

Whilst all the stuff he did win is amazing, what actually stands out to me is how close he got Parma to winning their first ever Serie A title. He just had the misfortune of going up against maybe the best Juventus side ever, when Serie A was by far and away the best league in the world. Even then he only missed out by a point or something.

 

Red Bull shiteing the bed

 

I mean, it does make Celtic look good..

 

Rangers in a final? Luckily for Paris they're hosting the CL instead of Europa.

I can imagine the headlines. "The Nazis did less damage in 39"

 

I didnt even know!

That would have raised a few eyebrows

 

They didnt do any damage in Paris in '39

 

Every fuckin commercial break i gotta see this bum ass Kingry.

 

Why are the streets of Paris lined with trees?




































So the Germans can march in the shade.

 

"you can't be handsy in the Europa League" - Carlton Cole.

 

James Maddison is like a far less talented version of Foden.

 

When Maddison is "on", he's a very good player but yeah he's very patchy.
