Apparently you can't say that around here or it's "knee jerk reaction".
Of course it's knee jerk, we're only a fifth of the way through our first season under this new style.
Look, Victor Valdes was mainstay in that amazing all-conquering Barcelona side yet he was fucking gash as a shot stopper. Easily the qorst player on the pitch when they played every single time. It was nice though because it gave opponents at least theiretical chance. I've seen all aorts ofmteams over the decades but that one stands out as best single team I ever saw.
And if we want to emulate them we have to adapt and learn and not have this luddite attitude.

Point very well made lads. Very, very well made
So we're fucked then...
And there I was, getting my hopes up all this time. For no fucking reason.
Still, I'd rather know the truth than be mislead by all this bullshit the club and league table is throwing at us.
So thanks lads. I will look back at these moments like that part of the matrix when neo is shown the real world.
You pair of whinging cunts.
Prozac please

If we 'fuck off the sweeper keeper shite' then we fuck off Guardiola, as it is fundamental to how his teams play. So who do you to two want as the manager next season?

Why can't you work together for the good of the team?

I think either of us would ditch the word good and only aim for greatness.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I freely admit it. I am old fashioned in sense that I like goalkeepers who actually stop balls going into net, defenders hwo can defend and strikers who score goals. I suppose that makes me a dinosaur.

As do I NQDP but why not have a goalkeeper that can stop balls going into the net but can also play a bit? Or a defender that can defend but also attack? Or a striker who scores goals but also contributes defensively?

I'll be interested to see the replies to these questions.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.

Exactly.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Oh yes, those things are bonus. But how many goalkeepers there are that actually CAN do both well. Neuer. Perin is pretty good at both. Lloris perhaps. That's it to me.

Bizarre stuff this past week but hopefully that's that for a while.
