Im praying for a Ronaldo hat trick , which he then dedicates to Sir Alex.
( should shut the absolute fucking bellend of a Liverpool fan in work up for a bit. ) if it raises his blood pressure up a bit then even better.
I donât have a turntable.
I said âmostâ not all.
Pretty much exactly my point? He didnât really move them forward did he - but yes he did do it all with a rare sense of civility.
He did better in the champs league than Pep has managed with City so far.
Yes but Pep had the misfortune to come up against the best side in Europe this year.
Well he is so used to winning trophies at club level I guess anything else is unacceptable.
Youâre being a bit harsh. Itâs not like he can say what he thinks. âTo be honest, weâre shitting it. The boys donât think much of Southgate and some of the lads have a holiday booked for 30th June.â
Fair cop. But I meant the reason Iâm fat
As a rule of thumb I cringe whenever an England player says âwe can win the world cupâ but to be slightly fair him, he wasnât getting all badge-kissy in that quote.
Iâd prefer him, of course, to work on his Godawful first touch rather than gob off to the press, but these are the cards weâve been dealt
Iâll never fully shake that sense of absolute impotence when destiny is at work. The feeling will cling to my feet forever, trying to pull me downâŚ
There are always lessons to be found in the darkest moments. Itâs a moral obligation to dig deep and find that little glimmer of hope or pearl of wisdom. You might hit upon an elegant phrase that stays with you and makes the journey that little bit less bitter. Iâve tried with Istanbul and havenât managed to get beyond these words: for fuckâs sake.

Arsenalâs new Home shirt. Discuss.
They canât be too happy - you can barely see it on the official promo video.
Thatâs an interesting quote. I always regard that period at the end of the '99 final as such an instance. That game had pretty much gone, Utd had played poorly missing Keane & Scholes if I recall. It was as if destiny wanât going to let Munich have that one. Theyâd made their substitutions. Matthaus was waving to the crowd. Some of the play & bizarre mistakes in those few minutes of extra time simply beggar belief even when watched again. Like an irresistible force driving the ball towards & into their goal. Very strange & brief passage of time.
I NEED to read his book. Iâve read short excerpts and it seems fantastic.
