WTF? Unbelievable that we pay these average coaches world class wages.

Fixed

Yip, that referee was appalling. Seemed to give Ireland nothing so he could get Ronaldos autograph at the end. Could have sent him off at the penalty too but didnt have the balls to make such a decision

More than likely yes. I agree that he's beyond useless to us. If we sell him and bring in an actual winger or an inside forward than we may be better off but its probably too late for that

I'm still salty about that 21 years later :lol:

Its happened in many cases recently and in the past. There have also been other players who have already taken a paycut due to the precarious situation we find ourselves in and this guy is meant to be a captain, a leader. The guy is on an absolute fortune and should take a paycut, which would...

He's made about ?35m - ?40m since he signed his last deal 3 and a half years ago, so I doubt he'll be going to the poor house when he leaves. He must be used to a certain standard of living though. I guess it would be too hard for him to adjust to only half of those wages, while helping a club...

I was 9 years old when he humiliated England. It made him an instant hero among my young clique. The hand of God was hilarious and then seeing that second goal, as it happened, I was amazed anybody could score a goal like that. He then did it again in the semi final against Belgium, with a goal...

What you dont mention is that the CL had less good teams since there was only 1 for each country. The UEFA Cup had 2, 3 and sometimes 4 teams from each country so was arguably harder to win than the CL, plus there was an extra round to get through. The CL now has all the best teams in it now...

I get that he's a powerful guy but there is no way he could stop anybody playing in that game, well, unless he put a horse's head on his pillow.

How would he have the power to overrule someone playing in a world cup final?

We should bite the hand off anyone who offers that amount

As a Scotsman I want them pumped in everything they do, so I won't be changing come Sunday. They're team is full of diving bastards. Kane, Saka, Sterling and Grielish all like a tumble when they lose control of the ball. Italy can outdo them in the dark arts and hope it's something...

One team of small, technical midgets beats another team of small, technical midgets. Small, technical midgets cant be successful anymore :lol:

Styles of play dont win football matches, good systems and good players do. It just so happens that Peps style of football lead to the most successful era for both Barca and Spain in their entire history. Serious question, did you get any enjoyment out of Peps time as coach of Barca?

Given how stupid the old board were with contracts, and the fact that Chelsea were rumoured to be willing to pay his buyout of 40m at the time, I dont think its far fetched he's on what is rumoured (200k, 170k a week, whatever). We could sell him and get a much better player with his wage and...

He once did something good in a Barca shirt is no reason to keep him. Sentimentality is a big reason why we are, where we are He earns too much and is not very good, so should just get rid.

Slow with his arms. He plays like he doesnt have any arms most of the time

A club with no self respect clearly. A disgrace if we buy him back.

We were afraid we would lose him for his buyout clause of 40m, then gave him that unbelievable contract. Can only dream of getting that much money for him now. We should sell him anway, for whatever we can get in the summer
