But objectively he's actually a flawed but decent manager and I don't think he's inherently a bad bloke.

Cringeworthy with his quotes certainly but I don't think he's self-obsessed. Certainly not as much as Conte and Mourinho are.

Managed them scabby fecks and has a shrine to himself at his house also spouts utter tripe 95% of the time
The other 5% I didn't understand
If he was at spurs I would be equally gutted and devastated

Weirdly enough I don't mind having dislikable players, bit having a dislikable manager just wouldn't sit right with me.

There's something reassuring about someone like Poch doing post-match interviews win, lose or draw. Never draws any negative attention and I think that's important.

Maybe it's just me but I don't find him a dislikable character. Someone to laugh and take the piss out of a bit but I don't hate him.

I didn't like him when he was at Liverpool but that's because he was at Liverpool. It's only natural to have hatred then and since he's left I don't have anything against him personally.

If we're talking truly dislikable managers then Mourinho would be top of my list.

Definitely. They get away with it because Eddie Howe is such a "nice young man" you could bring home to meet your grandmother and because they're built up as this plucky rags to riches success story even though they're basically a poor man's Man City, same goes for Leicester. Had massive investment and been financially doped all the way to the PL.
The real rags to riches are Burnley. Say what want about them but they have little money in the grand scheme of things yet are in all likelihood about to finish a season in the top 10 with 50+ points in the Premier League.

Yep. Got no qualms with Burnley whatsoever. Good luck to them I say. It just winds me up when Leicester and Bournmouth get talked about as if they're some kind of cinderella story. Both of them have had shit tonnes of money pumped into them so they've flown up the divisions to the PL. They make out like they've nickled and dimed their way to the top through the genius of Eddie Howe but that doesn't quite tell the whole story.

He has a giant portrait of himself in his house

I vaguely recall it being a present from his wife, and on that basis had to be hung somewhere in the house whether or not he wanted it to be.

However, can we please stop talking about who we might want to replace Poch? It isn't something that I care to think about.

Thanks.

From Blue Moon which seems Bluer than normal.

No Fenandinho is a huge loss vs a midfield focused side like Spurs. I’m not looking forward to this one *sighs*

Wind is out of the players sails. Others tired. We’ll get absolutely tonked.

John Moss is going to ref the match. I don't know how you fucks are expecting us to win when Spurs will be fielding 12 players.

My biggest worry is the safety of our players. Spurs players are getting away with some horrendous challenges. If we get any lead you can expect a few studs up challenges to come flying in.

We need Pep gone and replace him with Rodgers.

- 2 goals disallowed
- 1 penalty denied and Sterling carded for the "dive", Spurs score on the counter
- Kane and Dele put in a couple of leg breakers to round it up, ref chuckles and tells them to stop being naughty
I said 1-2 for the scousers and 0-2 against Spuds..Its going to take time to stop this slide.

Nailed on loss. This squad is a drift. And it comes down to one person.

bin dippers have just had one of their great nights in the CL. Not even the most blinkered RAWK loony tune would've predicted 5-1 aggregate against City, but even in this moment, they all seem to be losing their shit over the Kane-Eriksen goal thing?

They are without doubt the most bizarre psychologically unstable bunch of fans anywhere.

Just weird. If Mo Salah was claiming a goal given to Firminho i can honestly say that not a single f**k would be given.

Unless it was gonna cost Harry the golden boot?!

Not that cray-cray compared to some of the nonsense that comes from there...as you say, strange they would be riding that now, rather than thier CL wave.
