congrats  

 

didn't say all Italian males were chauvinist twats, I have many Italian male mates who are so not that

just saying Sarri is representative of the that archetype

look at his past misadventures

plus he is 60yo

when he was growing up it was far worse than now, and imprinting at a psychological level in one's formulative years is a real thing

Fuck Sarri ball.

I don't get Sarri ball... All I see is pass pass pass pass pass goalie... Pass pass pass goalie... And repeat.

nothing to get

its a failed system in our league unless our owner drops hundreds of millions (not net, but  his puppet board wont sell shit to raise capital, and Roman wont spend shit out of pocket NET to fix it) to buy correct players

even with Kepa buy, we have spent (other than first 2 years of ownership back 15 long years ago) only £37m per year net

club needs to be sold before these SIBNEFT frauds destroy us to the point that we become the team that just put the cosh to us in the 2nd half today

Am I the only one for whom the individual's palpable discord period was the worst ever and everything after hasn't even come close? 16th... It was horrible. It was a miserable time in my life as well, usually football used to cheer me up, it has always been one of my escape methods. But that year under Mourinho watching Chelsea made everything worse, I fucking despised it. Give me grumpy Conte or clueless Sarri any second of the day.

That was Hiddink's work. I'm talking about the individual's discord.

other than the Conte 1st year miracle, it has all been downhill

and anyone with a remotely fair amount of ability to look ahead could see this all coming

we are dropping faster than Abramovich's net worth and global geopolitical fortunes

fish rots from the head down

SELL THE CLUB

There is always a drama at this club, always. Authority from the top needs to start happening, somebody needs to start grabbing hold of the players and telling them the club is the most important thing and not their fucking egos.

 

I'll admit...we probably are missing those 'training ground visits' that Roman Abramovich used to give when results start going south

Yeah there seems to be a lot of rewritting of history for previous bad times to make the current days look worse, but any use of 15/16 as a favorable comparison really takes the piss, probably the biggest underperformance ever seen in football all things considered, especially in modern times.

After Conte's title it has been downhill yes, but uphill from Mourinho. If it had been only downhill then we'd be in Championship.

And that was a title defence too.  Still I think the worst title defence in recorded history. The same thing happened during Conte's slump, lots of people popping up saying it was the worst thing ever. Nah, not even close, Conte's slump and our current state is a joy compared to that.

if my truly worst case scenario plays out (buried on this board somewhere) then relegation into that thuggish shit league is a remote, but still possible scenario

we didn't remotely have the overarching and myriad problems we have now at that point

as soon as the club is sold to a proper owner, then much of that goes away

It was truly unprecedented, i can't ever see such an underperformance compared to squad quality happening again.
