  1. No European football next season

    The conference league actually will be just slightly different, it will be only 6 games in the group stage.
  2. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    We're having a terrible season and it's the combination of several different factors: - Terrible players, this is the worst squad since the early 2000s I remember - The end of cycle for Conceição as manager. Everyone seems to be tired of him and he seems to be tired of the club so there's a lot...
  3. All managers post Fergie weren't good enough

    But you are in hindsight mixing the concept of a manager being "good" with the results they ended up having and the latter involves a lot more than their quality alone. Mourinho and Ten Hag were good appointments in theory, Mourinho had a big pedigree and even with the second stint collapse at...
  4. All managers post Fergie weren't good enough

    Maybe all 6 managers have been bad but it's not something one can conclude from all of this imho, the most logical thing is to assume after a while that it's more likely other factors are at play, especially since those 6 managers have different backgrounds and different styles. Maybe in that...
  5. All managers post Fergie weren't good enough

    Yes, keep everything the same and just throw the next manager under the grinding machine and then blame him. When you have a roster of different managers with different styles and different pedigrees and still things keep being the same maybe the problem isn't the managers. Fool me once, shame...
  6. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    It's not *that* surprising giving that Portugal still divides the points by 6 while Czechia divides by 4. Note this is just the ranking of this year, not of the last 5 years. Portugal has 6 teams in theory but it's always 4 de facto as the two "weaker" ones are eliminated immediately - hence...
  7. Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

    They didn't remove a spot, we simply fell to 7th place in the UEFA ranking (we were 6th before). I agree however that the distribution of spots has became a farse since the 3rd and 4th places from the top 4 got direct access to the group stages instead of having to go to the qualifying rounds...
  8. Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

    It's pretty likely Conceição is making this up and/or misunderstood something. He is a major grade A cnut and that is some of his appeal I guess. I was surprised he didn't try to get a red card yesterday :lol: That said it's awesome to watch him lash out at "holier than thou" characters. In the...
  9. Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

    We did what we could, we don't have players to get further. We have probably the worst squad of the last 20 years and still managed to discuss the tie in the knockout stages with a team that is 1 order of magnitude richer than us. This was again due to Conceição - the good and the bad. He is...
  10. Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

    We did what we could given our shit team, now just luck RNG machine.
  11. Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

    Havertz doesn't know Conceição, he could have easily been punched back :lol:
  12. Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

    Arsenal again very... ineffective? They don't create much danger, of course they created a lot more danger than we did and had the better chances but imo it was still below what I expected of them. Varela out is hard for us, teams like us can't afford to lose key players as we have no one in the...
  13. Champions League - Round of 16 - 2nd Legs 5/6/12/13 March

    Today either we lose 5-0 with Pepe and S. Conceição both sent off or we execute a shithousing masterclass and win 2-1 or something, no in between.
  14. Most stupid journalist questions

    There's always the classic "how are you feeling right now?" I think a player that just scored a bazillion goals in a final and won the trophy will not need to be asked that question, geniuses.
  15. New European Football Format (From 24/25)

    I hate assymetric tables (e.g. you don't play home and away to the same teams) and it's even worse in this case as you don't even play every team. You don't depend on yourself anymore, you will have to keep checking on what others are doing in their games and you won't have a chance to fight...
