    And you were right it seems!
  • iHicksy replied to the thread Kieran McKenna | Ipswich manager.
    That's pretty easy to say in hindsight. I don't think it's that weird. It was made known by Ole that McKenna and Carrick took charge of training. In fact, it's pretty logical to blame the guys coaching the team everyday for poor tactical...
  • iHicksy replied to the thread Prime Bale or Prime Salah?.
    Prime Bale if i could take him just at his peak. If we're talking in a real team over the course of their career then Salah. But Prime/Peak Bale was a different animal to Salah. He would and did win games single handedly in a manner few players...
  • iHicksy replied to the thread Jack Grealish | Man City.
    I'm just correcting you for making an outlandish and quite frankly incorrect statement. I don't really understand posters like you instead of going "yeah sorry you're right my bad" You go off on some weird tangents via some sort of mental...
  • iHicksy replied to the thread Jack Grealish | Man City.
    Do you actually watch City? Looks like you've literally watched the game at the weekend and the Madrid game and made some ridiculous statement. He's been ousted out the team by Doku. He's been benched the last month, only played 9 games of...
  • Eh? Did you watch Ronaldo for us? He was kicked to feck every game, and hacked down multiple times in a season. The first season he'd complain because he simply wasn't used to it, and he was only 18 coming to the toughest league in the world. He...
  • What standards are we using the call this City team average? KDB and Haaland being on the pitch is enough to win most CL games with KDB's moments of brilliance, not to mention they have Foden who's been in electric form. One point off the top...
  • iHicksy replied to the thread Post match vs Liverpool.
    This is one of the worst takes i've seen on this sub - you've just written a bunch of nonsense to align with some agenda. My favorite line in this cacophony of bullshit is that Mourinho let the rot fester. This is the same guy that went to the...
  • You're missing my point - i wasn't intending to start a discussion about managers. It was in reply the poster who asked why it's so difficult for us to lure world class managers here but not other staff. I was making the point that you can say...
  • I think the issue is there's so few world class managers in world football. There's what, two in the prem out of 38? Arteta is starting to look like he might get there. Then you look abroad, at la liga and you look at the best three teams in...
  • I like the way the press are acting as if Liverpool have ruled him out rather than the fact he doesn't want the job. If it was manchester united the headline would be Alonso REJECTS UNITED job. Every article reads as if the liverpool job is...
  • Thanks - I didn't think i was misremembering Cole being incredible offensively. Agreed - i think people often let terry's lack of personality and horrible behavior colour their opinion of him as a player. He was immense for Chelsea and England...
  • huge fan of both so i agree! Maybe i'm misremembering how good cole was offensively? I seem to recall he had an insane cross on him, but could be wrong!
  • I'd say it is. And i'm Evra's biggest fan, Irwin was fantastic - and he'd certainly get the nod over Evra. But Ashley Cole at his peak was something else. He's the only player i've ever seen that shut down peak Ronaldo and his average level was...
  • iHicksy replied to the thread Premier League Hall of Infamy.
    Are people purposefully not reading the OP's post? Steven Gerrard and Suarez are both premier league greats. You can't have either of them. One's one of the best attacking mids in world football and the other is one of the best strikers in the...
