DevdanSanguine:
I support the Cavs. I didn't 4 years ago and I won't 6 months from now, how am I a Cavs fan?

Nice try arse bandit.

Your pedantry is refreshing. Never heard it this way before.

We play this. We play that.


But...but...you are not a Cavs fan.


And you take you seriously?

Greatihex:
i don't have the strength to go start looking for the interview, but I can't forget that arsene said mou is afraid to fail. Mou replied by saying, 'yes, I am afraid to fail because I hate failure. What of him that is a specialist in failure. 8 years without a trophy. If i do that at chelsea, i carry my bag and run away and never come back again.

That is the problem with hearsay and the spin the journalists gave to rile Mou up.

They interpreted Wenger's statement that "any one who rules himself out of contention cannot lose the league because they were never in it to begin with" to mean Mou who said his team was not in contention was afraid.

A classy manager could have said "that is his opinion" or something of the sort but see the opinion a classlessman gave.

patrickmuf:
Well, we won it, the only trophy we had never won...Pep on the other hand spent £200m to get knocked out by a young Monaco team...

When you say young Monaco team, do you mean the one with Falcao, Baka, Bernardo, Mbappé or another one?

Just like Mou used a young Porto team that had Deco, Carvalho, Ferreira etc who went on to play for Barca, Real Madrid and Chelsea?

Greatihex:
can you show us a link to the interview from 2 reputable websites?

I paraphrased because my memory is only semi-photographic. But the gist was essentially what I said there. Instead of looking for a link (which you can do yourself), look for the YouTube video of Wenger answering the questions posed at him. That interview was shortly before Wenger celebrated 1000 games in Arsenal and shortly before he lost 6-0 to Mou.

Do your due diligence and see if you come up with Wenger insulting Mou.

patrickmuf:
Google is your friend.

And he told me you are yarning opaks.

As if you spent over £100M to finish 6th and chase Yuropa. LOL.

patrickmuf:
We did not win because the focus had since shifted to the Europa league...We were fielding academy players...

Against who and when?

United gave up because they were many points behind 3rd, 4th and 5th. Simple.

patrickmuf:
Porto vs United, 2004...
Inter vs Barcelona, 2010...
Bayern vs Inter, 2010...

How was it against the odds? That is all I am asking.

Celts have beaten Barca.
Shaktar as well.
Inter still beat Bayern under (Leonardo)

So are the managers also tactically better?

patrickmuf:
Care to check?

I gave a fact. You finished how many points behind 4th placed Liverpool? And did you not win your last how many games of the season? So what are you on about?

phaamsaam:
Fat lie, varane was only given opportunities, he came from French league oga
Lingaard and martial are having above average seasons, milito was world class for just 6months, Guy know your facts oooo, we talked about grooming a player from unknown, untested to a beast

The question is, Lingaard compared to what season?

Is Lingaard now Delle Alli?

Milito that was banging goals for Zaragoza (which is why he was signed).

Sjneider already won La Liga for RM as one of the standout players abi na Mou also help Holland enter finals that 2010?

patrickmuf:
2. Mourinho is tactically better, he has been able to use to right tactics to win against the odds and with average players.

Against what odds?

Etoo does not agree with you.

patrickmuf:
Yes Logic...Zidane of Real Madrid is the best...

I agree.

And Pep is better than Mou. I also agree

patrickmuf:
Last season, we had to give up on our top four chase in order to concentrate on the Europa league and we won it.

Lies. You chased Europa when top 4 was out of sight

Greatihex:
abeg! Mou can find trouble, but na arsene first find trouble by saying that mou is afraid to fail. And mou is his nature not to carry last, he replied him in an epic way.

Journalist to Wenger: Mou says your team, Liverpool and City are the big horses. CFC is a small horse.

Wenger: I don't agree

Journalist: Well, he says they were never in contention for the league and are only fighting for the UCL places. That next season they will compete.

Wenger: Well, we (AFC) are in it to win it. If you rule yourself out, you cannot say you lost the league.


They ask Jose something else to rile him. And instead of taking an honorable path....goes below the belt.

Same Mou the eye-gouger. Who poked the eye of a very sick Tito.

And people are defending him. Shame.

patrickmuf:
Pep is 10 years in the game now, no?

I agree. Zidane is better.

Than Pep. Who is better than Mou who is waaaay ahead of SAF.


LOGIC.

patrickmuf:
I also remember Mou getting the better of Barcelona with 10 man Inter...
I remember him rendering Bayern useless in the final with his tactics...Every spirit of amnesia, I bind and cast IJN.

He lost to Barca 1-0 on the day. How did he get the better?

He rendered whose Bayern?

obainojazz:
Frank Ribery prayed day and night for guardiola to be sacked.....see UEFA ten greatest coaches... look well sir.

Ribery the poster boy for good behaviour. I see how much he loved Carlo (Pep's replacement).

patrickmuf:
Win which trophy? We're talking about the UCL here, if you want to bring Wenger in, let me know so I can lower the standard several levels below the norm.

Ok. Zidane is the best. He won 2 in 2 years.

Pep won 2 in 3 years not 10.

SAF won 2 in 1 billion years.

Zidane is better than SAF.

phaamsaam:
Only zlatan in all the three clubs, that should tell you something, should we start listing those who Mou didn't see eye to eye with

Don't mind them.

obainojazz:
If he wins it, I'll become a true baldee.

LOL. If the one's he has won before did not convince you, nothing will.

The Scorpion will sting it's owner. The Sting Ray killed Irwin. You are a programmed hater. You cannot undo your nature.

raumdeuter:
Muller till date had his best ever season under Guardiola while the same Muller was one of the players who conspired to get Ancelotti sacked

Muller did not even criticize him. Muller described his personality as compared to Carlo but alot of people here cannot read.

phaamsaam:
Coming from someone who won the treble with both coaches #enoughsaid# etc obviously knows how both were won, distinctive and in totally different ways

Even the Zlatan they like to quote said;

"As a coach, he is a maestro, but as person I don't regard him".

Even Zlatan FFS.

patrickmuf:
Well, you are not the umpire here and I reject whatever you're bringing to the table. Zidane is the best period...

Hope you've succeeded in confusing yourself further.

Wenger might as well be the best in the world. He has always used less to win more than Mou.

obainojazz:
best in the league with three consecutive CL round 16 exit.

So the year Benitez took over Inter they were not the best in the league?

obainojazz:
Luis ffucking Enrique won the treble at Barça... let's hear word jare. pep is good, no doubt... but his team must be the best in the league to dominate. If he doesn't win the champions league with city...nigga failed.

If he wins it, you guys will either say;

Why did not win it in his first season or he had the best squad in the world. It never exceeds these 2 excuses.

patrickmuf:
Your trusted comrade Raumdeuter has time and time again told us league's titles and domestic cups are local trophies and we've come to accept that.
Zidane has 2 UCL in less than 3 years of his management career compared to Pep who has 2 in 10 fvcking years...Don't forget the rules here.

You are still not answering the question.

This is Eruditor not Raumdeuter. Count their trophies in their first 2 years (I am not adding 3 because Zidane has already sheet the bed).

obainojazz:
sharrap frank, you will annoy the nairaland baldees... eto say some nice

eto:

I love Etoo

patrickmuf:
Zidane first two years, 2 UCL, Pep, 10 years, 2 UCL...Facts only...Zidane is better. We do not count local trophies here...

Count all Zidanes trophies in his 2 years to Peps in his 2 years too. That is the way to align it.

patrickmuf:
When Mourinho called Wenger a specialist in failure, weren't the both of them involved in a war of words? You're ignoring this fact to suit your obvious bias. Yeye dey smell.

No they were not.

Decale:
He's in love with all Warriors players and there's nothing bad in it. That's what fans do.

That guy can make Zaza feel like the best player from Europe.

I go just avoid those people arguments.The back and forth with no landing gives me headache...

Sure man. Not because you realized the person who got to pick first in the drafts had all the advantage and had nothing to do with being a good GM.

ipledge10:
I don’t Cavs are gonna win the East.

My problem is, in the P/Os when free throws are harder to comeby without much inside protection, I don't think Celts have enough ammo to slow Bron down. It won't be 4-1 for shiznut but I don't think anyone can guard him for now.

Ofcourse, Cavs have huge chemistry issues so I am predicting based on if they rectify it. As it stands though, Celts look the real deal. And they are young so that is extra scary. They could go back to their glory days in 3 years. Next season they would definitely come out the east. That is, with Gordon back.

ipledge10:
That Kid Irving is a baller. By the time he in retired, he will rank among top 25 greatest.

I think Curry should be back in that MVP conversation, Dude is unreal.

They will say he is playing with 3 other All-stars so no need. Let James Harden win. I want KD to make 1st team all NBA defensive team. He truly deserves it.
