just like he did not see the david in eto but Mourinho did. Just like if, Mourinho did not coach that porto team, they wouldn't have been that good. If Poch did not coach this Tottenham they wouldn’t have been this good. If raineri didn't coach that Leicester they wouldn't have been that good.


The man has coached two clubs in the past six years and we keep hearing the same excuse each time he is dumped out.

Offside goal
Post
Bar
Var
Set pieces etc.

For you, Pep is the Jesus of football. Jesus that does not know how to do miracles without when met with better teams or teams of equal or less strength.

Where were you when I detailed E'too and Pep's issue? Busy being ignorant is my guess.

Let me humour you, E'too's most impressive output statistically is under Pep. E'too also said Pep is the best tactician he ever worked with. E'too ended up calling Mou a fool. If you did your research, you would have known that.

You are right that only Mou would have achieved what he achieved with Porto the way he achieved it. Same for Ranieri and Poch. But how good is their good? Best team ever good?

Someone said what good is it in winning a rat race when you are a rat even if you win? What have Poch and co actually achieved? Improved the team without anything to show for it award? LOL.

Stop picking me to debate with. You lack the gravitas.

Greatihex:
yeah, Just like pep did not win with money and freedom at bayern.

What money did he spend in Bayern?

Let me start showing you how stupid you are.

Greatihex:
value is not comparatively useless, that is my own point.

It is net spend that will tell you to an extent if a team is making improving signings or just signing to remain at the same level.


Chelsea selling Costa and signing morata for same amount is not the same as city throwing Sagna and Zabaleta away for walker and danilo

If I sell 5 players and replace them with 3. Net spend will show if I am improving?

I am sorry to Hensben for ever insulting him.

I am even depressed by your ineptitude.

Roland17:
Curry has to play heavy minutes because your bench is thin especially on offense considering the number of players that are out injured. Now, the quick timeout is new to his style, which is good to see.

Kerr before will still start his mumu rotations and bring Curry at the 6th min of the 2nd Quarter etc. When the blowout would have set by then. Today, he took no chances.

smoosh20:
I bet ESPN topic tomorrow is "Do the warriors need KD?"

The media doing anything to send that man off the Warriors.

The same rubbish every day.

They just want him to leave even Chris Broussard who is usually measured and sensible in his interviews has been talking rubbish. Because they know KD is fragile.

ZenHallewell:
Hes gone my dude, nothing anyone can do about it. I spoke to him this morning.

Even KD does not know his plan. Because he is so sensitive but last last self-preservation will kick in.

Remember, only GSW can pay him the most money.

ipledge10:
I’m tired of hearing that sh!t. Imagine Max kellerman with his 2 brain cells, said KD is a luxury and they still losing to the Bucks with him... Jesus wept.

Max is a dullard.

.

Roland17:
This is where Kerr does not get a lot of credit. While his known to be a stubborn coach and sometimes rigid, he sticks to what works. T. Stotts was horrible to put kindly in this series.

Kerr is rigid but this series he changed o. I was surprised to see Steph playing all through the 3rd and 4th and the quick time outs each time Blazers had a run.

T. Stotts panicked. I felt for him. They had huge leads in the last 3 games. And the runs from GSW started before he decided to try something else. Even the Blazers crowd always lost their voices. I think they were never comfortable and it trickled down or up to the coach.

Hardetayour:
Whether y'all like it or not, KD Has 2Rings and 2FMVPs. No Nairaland armchair analyst can erase that from the record books.

And the records still show LeBum is 3-6 in Finals

When he is playing. He is the best. The rest are wack. When he is out, he was not needed. He will not be remembered.

It is laughable. My only issue is KD cares about those things.

They want to mess up his career. Like guy, why do you care they will still hate you anyway.

Roland17:
Dame is not helping his team with his late decision making.

I knew they will revert to type.

Hardetayour:
Like he always does Na. Rubbish man

LOL.

Cut him some slack.

smoosh20:
Draymond was the MVP this series. I know it doesn't matter but he just sent a message to his critics.

They even started telling us we have only 3 All-Stars. Remember I said they will revert and call us All-stars. They did. Billups and co.

smoosh20:
Alfonso McKinney and Looney have been special.

Mckinnie responded.

ipledge10:
Looney is my guy, he is so solid

One of my favourite players.

Roland17:
I don't care what anyone says, Klay is one heck of defender!!! Goodness me!

That is why even when he is bricking I hate calling him out.

Hardetayour:
Has he made any shot this half at all?

I don't know what is up but Klay will hit a big shot in this game.

Who else noticed all the rubbish calls at 7th min mark by the refs?

The so-called moving screen on Draymond and the foul on Klay then those rubbish calls on Bogut?

Yes.

That was home cooking to put GSW in the bonus.

Anybody who feels I complain too much should come and beat me.

Jerebko. You were awful today. The shots the Blazers role players made is what you are bricking.

We got this still.

smoosh20:
Curry is having that look and I hate it.

My mind doesn't feel at ease with Klay going ISO.

Klay, MckInnie, Bell and Jerebko should be better. Jerebko was playing hot potato with the ball.

But it is a game of runs. I prefer Leonard to be making shots than CJ and Damian because his own shooting is flukey.

Game still plenty. Portland will soon start trying bail out and hail mary shots as they get desperate. Just play smart. We got this.

Hardetayour:
I dey go sleep

You give up too easily. It is a close out game. They were going to fight. Even if we were up 15 they will still fight. This is a win or go home. relax.

airmark:
You failed to show where your Fraudiola denied the interest in Maguire. That's why I believe he told you as his P.A.

You think you can just deny a story without proof and think readers are fools.

At this rate, anyone who refutes anything I say about Pep is a fool. I am a self-professed fan of his who not only roots for him to win but can predict his thought-processes having observed and studied him for a while. I am also intelligent enough to know BS and the regular tricks agents play to generate buzz over their players. If you don't know it, that is on you.

airmark:
Eruditor, P.A to Fraudiola on transfer issues.

Intelligent fan of an intelligent manager. That is all.

I know people who lied that Chelsea boaboard members spoke to them. But I digress.

obainojazz:
Good thing he didn't have to break the bank to get those players ain't it.. Now imagine Pep coaching a different team, that Barca team will still trash him. Fact is, he coached a very good team.. why didn't his tiki taka win him Cl at Bayern

I hate tiki taka.... it's rubbish and pointless.
Pep Guadiolar 2014

That was after Madrid trashing and him realising the essence of Messi's magical goals.

You are so fixated on your vitriol that you cannot even spot a trend. It shows that if another club had those players, Pep would have sold what he had and tried to acquire them. Because like Michelangelo, he could see the David in the stone where Rijkaard and other managers did not.

If Pep did not coach that team they would NEVER have been that good. There is not one of those players who separates their success in football from their time with him.

As for your RM thrashing nonsense. That is what it is. If you knew anything about football you would know Bayern lost that game through set pieces and nothing else.

airmark:
False news? That was how we heard that he would buy Stones for 50m. Same for Mahrez. Same for Mendy. Same for Jesus. Same for Laporte.

Pep's hand is in sheikh's till. Point and kill, 'no Messi, no Ucl' manager.

You are lying to yourself. There was nowhere he denied those players. Sanchez. Fred. Jorginho. Mahrez. Both the ones he got and did not get. The Macguire story is totally false. His agents are doing it to make mumu clubs like United swoop in to pay big money since if "Pep wants him he must be good". The same scam they fall for every year.

If Pep had 75M for a defender, it will not be Macguire, you hear?

ReeLoaDead:
Bayern won UCL in 2013 without Pep and then he took over .... they never even made it to even the final and you are here celebrating their semi-final appearance in the Pep years ... what an embarrassment!
As to all those daft arguments you made about Barca/Borjan - they are simply just salty rants because you cannot come to terms with losing to a lower payroll team like Inter/Roma/Liverpool.
You also said that it is easier to win UCL than the league ... I know that is what you Barca fans will be saying after Messi and co chopped 3-0 last year and 4-0 this year

You are daft. Please I mean it with due respect. Bayern how many Semifinals have they made since Pep left? Before they won the UCL in 2013 what did they win 2 years before?

Salty rants when the records are there. The following year, RM chopped 5-0 and 2-0 then United got hidden 3-1 in the most one-sided UCL final in a long time. Keep yapping nonsense. Lower payroll team ko. Even that 2009/10 season Pep even beat Mou 2-0 and 1-0 in the 4 times they faced. They drew the other 0-0. If they played that game 10 times, Pep would have won 9 times. Ojoro was what helped Inter.

airmark:

How many years deal?

If Rice will sign for 10yrs no problem then.

Jesus is Lord.

How many years deal for 75M?

But you are spreading the false news about Macguire like Pep personally told you?

LOL.

obainojazz:
Hindsight my asss...

You can't tell me about a club I have supported for years now.

When Ronaldinho was clubbing in Milan and Barca fans had to chase him out of the club because we had an important game?

When Rijkaard straight up wanted to sell Xavi to Bayern because he was not big and strong?

When Iniesta was coming off the bench and playing as a winger?

Why do you think Juan Laporta hired Pep?

Because of all the candidates he was the only one whose dossier for Barca had plans that incorporated these players.

Mou said Messi was a winger and the team should be rebuilt around Deco since Ronaldinho was messing up.

Mou wanted a defensive counter-attacking style.

Pep on the underhand made a presentation showing how Xavi, Ini and Messi were going to be the fulcrum of the team. Suggesting that the more sturdy Yaya would take a backseat for 21-year-old Busquets.

Everyone thought he was crazy (just like Stan Collymore and most EPL pundits). But after 2 seasons, he became dalai lama.

Now you want to turn around and tell me winning with Barca was a given. When RM had won the league prior. Thrashing Barca 4-1 whilst at it.

Mou's hatred for Barca and Pep came as a result. The man who took the job he coveted won a sextuple. Mou celebrated the Inter semifinal UCL win like it was his holy grail. But he set himself up for trouble unwittingly.

He came to RM and got beat 5-0 and 2-0 in the league and UCL on Pep's way to another 5 trophies (narrowly missing out on the Copa Del Rey and another sextuple). In fact, he never won a single home game against Pep in RM. The records are there.

Miss me with your Barca was not an underdog BS.

Greatihex:
what stopped kaka and Ronaldo from winning Everything or at least reach ucl Semi-final before Mourinho.

Mourinho had 100 points, a record at the time. Someone picked a dying team and made them great again and you are talking about someone that took a great team and made them a laughing stock in Europe. Make A40 catch you and pep.

Did i just see bundesliga? You Must be joking right? Years before pep they were winning it, years after him, they are still winning. Winning bundesliga as a bayern manager is like a man city manager qualifying for ucl. That is the least expectation of a bayern manager.

Dying team? I watch La Liga and I remember the league very well. Pellegrini had 96pts when Pep had 99 and the simple reason is because Barca were leading the last match of the season by 3 goals in the first half so Madrid gave up and drew their game. Pellegrini would have had 98pts as well. So what dying team are you talking about? Mou only consolidated on work Pellegrini had done. You people should not be giving people here zobo to drink.

obainojazz:
A Barcelona team with world class players in each department... You are really a barkabot..

Lol hindsight is so sweet.

Greatihex:
yes. But any manager that is good will win with money and freedom. If a manager wins with money and freedom, he has done nothing special.

Mou did not win with money and freedom.

There are many others like him. Ronald Koeman etc.

Incorrigible hater.

kokaneprodigy:
also I can’t compare Ranieri with Mourinho, one of them couldn’t win the EPL with Manchester United while the other one did it with Leicester City.

The quote is even fake. Funny all these posts are filtering through after Pep won a treble. Just to undersell him a little.
