Why is Pep celebrating ordinary carabao cup?

Carabao cup that Olesexuals called a useless cup. See how Pep is jumping with glee like he just lost his virginity. grin

How many points behind Bayern did Dortmund finish before buying Lewandowski and Gotze

We don't care about morals. If you care about morals you won't be supporting a club who bought RVP you will be supporting MFM FC in Nigerian league
Just accept it’s a shit league. wink

He brought a quote from Hoffenheim. When was Hoffenheim a rival to Bayern for anything?

The last player Bayern bought from Dortmund was Hummels in 2016 5yrs ago. Since then they have lost Dembele, Aubameyang Pulisic Mikitaryan etc to clubs not named Bayern

Man Utd bought RVP from Arsenal the season Arsenal finished directly below Man Utd
Arsenal weren’t title contenders. It doesn’t matter where they finished, they were 19 massive points below United in 11/12. They hadn’t been in a title race in the previous 8 seasons.


raumdeuter:
Maybe if your team Man Utd did not poach Kagawa, Mikitaryan from Dortmund they will be in a better position to compete, but you dont really care about Dortmund or competition in the Bundesliga when you are buying from them do you?
Dortmund and United don’t compete in the same league. Selling their players to United does not give United any advantage over them to win the Bundesliga.

You are just grasping at straw here comparing United to Bayern. Any club with morals will desist from buying Dortmund players to encourage some stiff competition. What Bayern are doing in Germany is what Dangote is doing in Nigeria.

So which team does not poach talent? The Hoffenheim guy you quoted will he tell us all his team are from their academy? Is he not poaching from somewhere?

Augsburg take from Division 2, Hoffenheim take from Augsburg, Mochengladbach take from Hoffenheim, Dortmund take from Mochengladbach yet they complain that someone is poaching

So where is Bayern expected to get their players from? The last player Bayern signed from Dortmund was in 2016 since then Dortmund have sold many of their top players elsewhere, yet they will complain that its Bayern causing their problem
Your pretense that you don’t understand the context in his post is laughable.

The issue here isn’t ONLY poaching but that you poach from the only team that has any chance at all to win the league.

In your other example, you mentioned RVP. Were Arsenal in any title race when Man Utd got RVP? When the two teams were neck and neck like Bayern/Dortmund are today, did they do any business?

How come Wenger didn’t sell Henry to Man Utd in early 2000? How come SAF didn’t sell Scholes to Arsenal in 2002? Bayern Munich continue to raid Dortmund without morals that they are killing off the competition and your response is a long winded false equivalencies.

Give your head a wobble.

I can’t believe Mourinho got Spurs to the final only to come and park the bus.

He cannot even give the fans some sort of entertainment in Wembley. He should know by now the world has moved on from negative football - he’s the only manager left in Europe that still uses this toxic strategy to win final games.

The only reason Ole hasn’t been sacked is because United’s board is the most incompetent on the planet.

Roman Abramovic would have sacked Ole three times over by now.

Then brought in the other player who could've made a difference 2 minutes before regulation.

Even my homeboys Kadiri Ikhana and Monday Sinclair as well as Willy Bazuaye of blessed memory would've done better New Nigerian Bank of Benin, Obanta United of Ijebu ode and Namco Jets of Jos
A player that became legendary as a supersub actually hates substituting players.

The cut off is 32 PL games.

He will have to bag 15 yellow cards between now and the end of the season to be suspended.

We're 2nd because this is a poor premier league season. No good teams in it.

For someone who made a career out of being the ultimate super sub its crazy he doesn't know how to make and manage subs.

We've had a week since our last match yet we looked tired and leggy. I guess Leeds can make that happen to most.

I feel for Dan James. He's been forced into a level well above him.

I'm also no sure what DVB was supposed to do in 2mins.

Bruno has been off form for a while now. He's looks jaded.

Hopefully the team can step it up for Roma.
If he had started Pogba, United would have won this game.

Bruno was well marked and they rarely gave him any chance on the ball. With Pogba in, Leeds can only double mark one creative player. They couldn’t have double marked two creative players - one would expect a manager that actually passed his coaching exams to know this.

Selecting him is even forgivable but leaving him on for 70 mins when he’s been serving rubbish is a mortal sin.
Ole is an incompetent buffon.

If he wins all the remaining games that includes Liverpool, Leicester and Aston Villa, the highest point he can get is 82 points.

£300m spent on the team that finished 2nd(81 points) and Ole’s supposed progress is 1 point difference - after almost 3 years.

So transfermarkt is wrong but a nameless blog is right with their "reported"
Their math is always wrong.

They have Maguire at £78m when he’s £80m.
They have Pogba at £94m when he’s £89m
They have Ronaldo transfer to Madrid at almost £85m when it’s £80m.

I can go on and on.

Sterling and Aguero came in after the hour

When Pep faced United in the league he rolled out the real first 11, Mourinho stood no chance. They were properly beaten. The Carling cup was time to roll out the Maffeo, Alex Garcia, Cabalero, Fernando, Iheanacho and Navas

Only Mourinho sees a rivalry with Pep, Pep sees nothing more than a whipping boy just another Allardyce

Pep will rather fear Klopps team as seen on the Amazon documentary than anything Mourinho rolls out
Until he ran away from Spain after Mourinho sent him to a sanatorium in New York.

Pep’s only nemesis is Mourinho.

Neuer was sold to Bayern at over 30M in 2011, How many keepers in the EPL around 2011 went for 30M
Bayern bought hummels for 35M with a year left on his contract

What will be the equivalent of Man Utd buying RvP, Matic and Juan Mata

If you are expecting Bayern to step down to the level of Stuttgart just to have competition then we will have to dissapoint you
Neuer was €18m in 2011, De Gea was costlier in the same window.

Where did you get €30m from? grin

Below was the lineup for that game that "No one expected Mourinho to win"

Only a Miracle could have made a team of Pogba Zlatan Mata DeGea Shaw et beat a team of Iheanacho, Maffeo, Alex Garcia and Jesus Navas and Fernando
Your selective amnesia forgot Sterling and Aguero came on later in the game and they couldn’t steer the game towards a City victory.

Pep was confident the team he rolled out was good enough to beat United. There’s no friendly whenever Mourinho faced Pep. They want to win the game no matter how insignificant the competition is.

So try again.

Neuer and Hummels were sold to Bayern at above-market rates for their position and length of the contract

Bayern bought Kimmich from Stuttgart in division 2 just like Man utd bought Daniel James to hamper Swansea
Bayern bought Sule from Hoffenheim just like Man Utd bought Shaw from Southampton to hamper them
Lewandowski came to Bayern on a free transfer after his contract expired
Sold at above-market rates? What does that mean? There was a scarcity of clubs abroad to sell those players to?

This is the equivalent of Man City buying De Gea in 2018 or United buying Kompany in 2012. I wonder how Bayern supporters feel about the lack of competition in that league.

The shittiest league in Europe.

Yes its Bayerns 9th succesive title

Bayern is the richest team in the league and money is directly related to results. When you have teams who can match Bayerns finances you will see competition
There are no recognized competitors for a long time because they do not have Bayerns money
Other teams in the league have money problems which Bayern does not have

If you are wondering how Bayern got so rich, its also in that video
In other words, Bundesliga is a shit league.

It’s not ONLY because the other clubs aren’t as rich as Bayern, it’s also because the other clubs don’t even understand they shouldn’t be selling their best players to Bayern.

Bayern went to the other clubs to get Neuer, Hummels, Gotze, Lewandowski, Kimmich, Sule, etc. Bayern constantly hamper the Bundesliga and give the other clubs no chance of competing.

Going by your argument, Benitez also used fringe players to play Chelsea so like I said, Mourinho did not win any Carling Cup that he was not far and away the favorite to win.
The revisionism in this post is laughable.

Carling Cup finals are played earlier. No one plays fringe players in February with 1/3 of the season left to complete.

The idea that Mourinho was expected to win all those carling cup trophies is also flawed. In 2005, he beat Alex Ferguson over 2 legs in the semifinal before beating Benitez in the final. How is he expected to win those feisty games?

In 2015, he also beat Klopp’s Liverpool over 2 legs in the semis before facing Spurs. How’s he favorites to win those when Klopp was his nemesis even as a Madrid manager.

In 2017, he clobbered Pep in the round of 16 in a one off game that no one expected him to win considering Pep had beaten him in a league game at Old Trafford.

Imagine Hansi Flick or Koeman saying winning a trophy isn’t a measure of progress in Bayern or Barcelona.

They would have been sacked immediately for lowering the standards. It can only happen at United - where the standards are already below the sea level.

Ole is a failure - it’s in his genes.

He’s bottled 5 semifinals in 2 years. Alex Ferguson lost only 4 semifinals throughout his 26 year reign at Old Trafford.

It doesn’t matter if you put Wikki Tourists or Lobi Stars in the semifinals, Ole must find a way to lose it. That foolish manager actually said winning trophies does not indicate progress.
