Next time she will be watching, i'm sure.

I feel this is the takeaway too. It was an important life lesson.

Disagree, all the adults around behaved like pussies ducking and trying to protect themselves not one of them tried to catch the ball or ever deflect it, her father the one person she is supposed to depend on to protect her was exposed as being as worthless and incompetent as Wenger......Anyyone can own a dick but it takes a real man to be a father.

You're right Biggus, being a good father to your daughter is essentially the same as goalkeeping.

Sweep, project calm, shout instructions, stop flying obstacles and protect the box.

Thankfully we have mothers

Guardiola to city rumours heating up.

Ancelotti to Bayern.

As long as Pep doesn't go to United.

Neither is good. More titles not coming to North London.

Official now, Guardiola to leave Bayern at the end of the season, Ancelotti to take over.

Pep to City
Mourinho to United as soon as they sack LVG and ohhh boy, he will be out for blood, what happened at Chelsea must have cut him deep
Simeone to Chelsea

Klopp already in Liverpool

vs Wenger

PL will be insane next year.

What is this Simeone to Chelsea talk? Just rumours or is there any substance to it?

No, everything after the first line which is official is just my prediction. Only Pep to City has very strong rumours behind it. There have been small rumours though that Simeone is the one Abra prefers next. Would make sense too, He seems to have someone's number in Atleti as they have done quite a few number of deals with them.

Simeone has special ties to Atletico Madrid since his playing days. My feeling is that he won't be interested in leaving unless the club wants him to go.

It'd be entertaining as fuck to see Guardiola vs Klopp vs Simeone vs Mourinho vs Wenger in the league next year. That's 90% of the votes I've ever seen for next Arsenal manager vs Wenger.

Wengers PL experience gives him an advantage over all of them. Ancelotti would have been the only worrying one, but looks like Bayern have upgraded.

All rumours I think. From what I've  heard Simeone isn't interested in moving abroad any time soon. Hasn't learned any new languages or even tried.

Yeah, not worried either about Simeone, he said he's only interested in managing Italy if he ever leaves Atlético again. Can't see Mourinho at United either, he's not interested in a job where he'd actually have to create a team from scratch, unlike with the chavs where he pulled his little pony horseshit he'd have an actual huge fucking rebuilding job at United who let's face it are garbage in pretty much every position.

United are loaded but I can see them being reluctant in doing a real clear out of the squad, they like to think themselves better than Chelsea or City (they blatantly aren't) and probably will try to build on the dross they have at the club. I can see them get someone like Martinez who'll try and work with the trash on offer or another domestic manager, maybe even the Welsh ape if he can find time off smashing his sister-in-law

Simeone won't leave Atletico for now, I think he wants to build a dynasty there but it is interesting he mentioned no comments when asked with the Chelsea job.

I desperately wants Pep to manage Arsenal but looks like it won't be happening, especially if he goes to City. At this rate when Wenger retires there are no one left.

We'll probably have to hope there is another manager talent breaking through from here until then. Best case of course would be for Wenger to retire after winning the league this season, think Guardiola for example won't announce his next club until after the season is over. Wenger unlike Fungus has the club's long term outlook in mind in most things he does, hope his own position isn't exempt from that.

My biggest fear is that we'll appoint someone like Bould or Primorac, as a club Arsenal is attractive to a lot of big names but that's also down to Wenger. We need to use that attraction to get in a capable manager who in turn will attract more big names.

No way we would appoint Primorac. The guy can't even speak or understand basic English. Agree with you though, appointing someone within the club will be a disaster.

I think the ideal scenario is that Wenger wins the league and retires at the end of the season, with Pep taking over. We can't afford to miss out on the greatest manager of this era.

Im just afraid that Pep to City is done as has been rumoured for months.

It'll be a real shame if he goes there.

I'm very confident Pep will choose us.

I'm less confident Wenger will make way.

I don't think I want Guardiola at the club either way. I feel should look at another type of manager when the time comes.

The fact he only stays at a club for a few seasons is an off putter

Well, gents, which managers stay for anything more than 3 seasons? Name all of the managers in the Premier League who have tenures of 3 years or longer.

I despise the way both Wenger's and Guardiola's teams play, I would also love a very different type of manager and approach.

Yeah I do feel he's too dogmatic as a coach. But really, not that many managers with similar pedigree. If we're looking at up-and-coming candidates instead we might as well just promote Bouldie.

Yeah, Guardiola has a lot of pedigree, but almost all of the managers who build something truly great (including Guardiola himself when he broke through as a coach at Barca) are the result of clubs looking for specific qualities that suit them rather than big names. I think we should do what we did when we found Wenger.

I think Guardiola will be a truly special manager for us and will be our best chance to win the UCL but he won't last more than 3 or 4 years as he mentioned that is the max he will go at a single club.

I don't want Guardiola either.

We don't have the players to play Guardiolaball and, after collecting his wages, we wont have any money to buy the players he wants so it's not in his interest to come here. I'm fine with that but don't want him to turn the fortunes of manure/chelski around so my preference is sheikhy for him.
Hopefully maureen goes to manu and fails again leaving abramovich with no choice but to stick with hiddink.

Doubt Hiddink wants to stay at Chelsea.
