Potentially 5th in a 3 horse race, you could sayMassively bottled 3rd
It's still funny the second time ?Potentially 5th in a 3 horse race, you could say
Edit: just seen that's already been done
TBF to Brendon though, fucking up Leicester's CL chances and finishing 5th is still a bigger achievement than what he did with Celtic
This is up there with the worst / best things I’ve seen in football ... what the hell were they thinking!?
Brendan's biggest criticism and one that he seems to prove over and over is that he has no plan B.Brenda and Poch seem to have the same 'style' of coaching/play/management, in that they wring every drop out of their squad, but they eventually run out of steam at the critical point.
Klopp has been very similar in previous season, but they have had the fortune in their favour to carry them over the line in the last year or so where they would otherwise have missed out. The whole high energy/gengenpress (or whatever it is called) seems to have that common fault.
I’ll just leave this here ... what the hell were they thinking!?
And some members on here were saying we missed a beat not signing Rodgers and going for Mourinho instead. Please stand up now and take the banter like a man.
They're going to finish above us so there's not really much to laugh about is there? Leicester finishing at least fifth is still a very good season, even if they have blown it since the restart.
"I miss old rat face. I'll face time him. After all, we made his latest contact state he had to live in the stadium, on the pitch, dressed as a full kit wanker"
I'd love to be in the PR meetings some of these clubs have.
Don't be a party pooper now.
Just kidding, in all seriousness they have still done pretty well but I think we must still be careful what we wish for. Sometimes things aren't as good as they seem.
And just to clarify, my post was more to laugh about good ol' Brendan and not Leicester in particular.
Before the season, that would have been a massive success for them. However, this season has been no normal season. A lot of clubs had a down year, and Spurs and Arsenal sacked their managers mid season. This allowed Leicester to take the opportunity to have a tight grasp on CL and never let go. They were clear in 3rd and miles ahead of everyone. We were talking about United, Chelsea, Wolves, Sheffield, Spurs and Arsenal in a shout for 4th. To not only bottle that position but very possibly lose out on Champions League is a HUGE failure whatever way you put it.They're going to finish above us so there's not really much to laugh about is there?
