This now has to be autocorrected. The phrase has become a parody of itself

David Pleat is hopelessly insane

hollger · « **Reply #2249 on:** May 6, 2012, 09:35:50 pm »

I love listening to Pleat, he's so bonkers it's brilliant

Such a contrast to the ... (edit: back to this, post-Maicon goal!) Alan Smiths, Gary Nevilles of the World. He comes out with such bollocks and so many clichés (that he often gets the wrong way round!), fantastic!

Oh wow Maicon

This game has brought my football loving mood back after yesterday!

Congrats Juve!

Wowzers! Cracking goal by Maicon

Take a bow Maicon also congratulations to Juventus serie a champions, progress right there.

Lovely by Maicon.

What a hit.

This has been a fantastic match. Only complaint is that there were so many penalties.

Hahah Chiellini celebrating madly with some Juve fans

inter celebrating as if they're champions, rightfully so, by denying same city rivals

rushyman · « **Reply #2261 on:** May 6, 2012, 09:46:03 pm »

Jesus those Juve fans are getting a bit over rambunctious. Players running for their lives

Juve from 7th to 1st with some good squad additions.

Antonio Conte, take a bow son, take a bow. Terrfic scenes at Caliagri.

If you discount Juventus having titles stripped for Calciopoli, this is the first time since 2002/03 when he was with Ajax that Ibrahimovic hasn't won the league

Just couldnt happen here with the spending of City and the draw of Man U. Best you'll get is what Newcastle have done, and even thats viewed as some sort of miracle

With the outragous quality that Milan have it's still a phenomenal achievement.

hollger · « **Reply #2270 on:** May 6, 2012, 09:58:20 pm »

Bit of a surprising result the Milan one, the final score anyway. Couple of dodgy penalties (1st and 3rd) but AC seemed a bit nervous perhaps? Zlatan scored a very good goal but other than that, Inter soaked up whatever was thrown at them and countered nicely. Although you just can't legislate for Maicon - that was one hell of a strike

Still think it can be done in the Premier League - with a good system, good scouting and a good unit with strong mentality.

Of course but if done properly, it can be done. Just need everyone working together properly as a collective - all 100% determined in accomplishing one goal.

Not a very good analogy for me. Juventus are massive club and have spent very heavily in the past five years. The past two seasons had been woeful for them, but they had finished second the year before that. This championship is more of a reflection of how underwhelming they had been the past two seasons than anything else. This is the old guard returning to the top after not so long a wait, considering relegation for match fixing and all. Not really a shocker, like Newcastle winning the PL or something.

And of course, the players. You just cant get away from that.

I was watching Toure Aguero Silva and Tevez today and they got it and kept it. A huge % of the time. Ball retention, its sounds so easy to come out with but its true. We have Gerrard and Suarez who use the ball brilliantly from Midfield and Attack. You can have the grit all you want but if you simply dont have the tools youre going to struggle

Well that's why I said good scouting as well. Everything is about the collective. With good scouting you find some good players for decent prices. Intelligent, mentally strong players that fit a system set in place.
