@junior ok. So city were the best team until they faced a better team and lost. Got it.
I personally think beating both Athletico and Real in the knockouts was phenomenal. If City or Liverpool had done that we’d never hear the end of it.
You're right. Just as City's beating Dortmund and PSG was also excellent. You're taking at umbrage at saying that both teams were great in the lead up, but one might have been a wee bit better, but then the other side were better on the big and were deserved winner.
All Black fan mentality right thurr

Have you forgotten what you wrote?
Best team in CL this year by some margin.
That’s your words. You can keep rewriting it if you want, but it was bullshit then and it’s bullshit now.
I took huge exception to the build up being all about city, and explained that above. I’m cool with being chippy about it too.

who is interested in entering my Euros competition? Should be launched towards the end of the week. For Euro 2016, @dogmeat was 3rd out of 28 so it is pretty easy to do well (I was 2nd).
Bloody cheek
I'd actually recommend @KiwiPie 's comp. Easy to complete - you don't have to remember to tip every round and with constant games there's plenty of interest
Plus as he said it's piss easy. He neglected to mention i won the world cup one in 2010 and was 2nd in 2014.
Hint - get the goal scorers - individual and team right and you'll go a long way.

Let the manager dramas begin. Carlo Ancelloti is gone from Everton for Real Madrid. Seems like poor form from him given how much he talked up long term planning for Everton.
Most people are nothing if not opportunistic

Hard to turn down Real when Everton are always so .... mediocre. The promising signs at the start of the season just withered away and they finished below Leeds

Gee it's a merry go round for Italian managers at present. Ancelotti, Conte, Pirlo, Inzaghi and Allegri either taking up jobs or being movedon just to name a few.

Good opportunity for Nuno Santo in my view. The talk seems to think it's between him & Moyes. I can't see why Moyes would leave West Ham though, he's arguably the EPL 20/21 manager of the year with the results there. Nuno also seems to be talking to Palace, but that would be a step sideways or backwards from Wolves. Everton may not be one of the top tier clubs, but that may well change with their new stadium.

The reality is as a manager that you simply don't want to be the last person standing when the game of musical chairs finishes.

Comte reportedly in advanced talks with Tottenham.
This sounds like the Mourinho appointment - a proven winner etc etc. Conte is good for a season it appears and by then he's pissed everyone off and pisses off. If Inter didn't give you enough to spend, welcome to Levy and Tottenham.

I'm not sure he is the guy we should be getting. The way Levy operates, we need a guy who is comfy developing young players and surviving on a budget

He sounds similar to Jose in his pomp. He was more subdued this time, probably due to his failures at Chelsea and ManU
