ShiftyPowers;2679730 said:May I just point everybody to post #442 on page 30 which kicks off a stunning string of statements and predictions from our buddy TLS. It culminates with this fantastic rationalization for why Hiddink's European Cup win clearly proves that he's not a good manager. It's even better in hindsight than it was as the time now that Hiddink basically walked into Chelsea, immediately turned the club around, and could probably demand daily blow jobs from John Terry and get them at this point.
Going back to the beginning of the competition, here are the only managers who "aren't that well recognized" who have won the Champions League:
Pep Guardiola: 2009
Frank Rijkaard: 2006
Raymond Goethals: 1993
Ljupko Petrović: 1991
Artur Jorge: 1987
Emerich Jenei: 1986
Joe Fagan: 1984
Tony Barton: 1982
Dettmar Cramer: 1975, 1976
Ştefan Kovács: 1972, 1973
Nereo Rocco: 1963, 1969
Miguel Muñoz: 1960, 1966
Luis Carniglia: 1958, 1959
Funny how facts always get in the way huh? And what's more is that 7 of these 13 guys are dead. And what's even more is that a lot of these are extremely arguable as to whether they should even be on this list. Of the 54 titles won, only 18 come from managers who "aren't that well recognized", and only 3 in the last 20 years. These types of managers win the Champions League "all the time" indeed.
Can't get enough of this Man City talk.
#1 that post was very long time ago
#2 he just improved chel**** a tiny bit as you saw all they won was FA cup cause Man U didn't give 2 ****s about it so they let everton make final. Any other manager chel**** wanted would've done same thing.
#3. He did what he always does does good but always comes up short on winning the big one.
Everyone knows Barca shouldn't of been in final and bought the ref or just had a ref who was supremely biased towards barca. So Barca shouldn't be treated as "winners" of CL but "buyers" of cl crown If u think Barca Deserved to get to final you are either a barca fan and biased or biased or a naive idiot.
It is almost impossible that Barca didn't pay the ref that game or influenced ref big time in that match for the extreme bias that ref showed toward barca. Frankly this disgrace cheating has to stop. Whether it was barca paying the ref or influencing ref to be mega based toward them or just ref hating chelsea and liking barca either way this stupid biased ref crap has to stop. Cause its causing teams that should progress cause they'd dominated other team get screwed out cause of stupid biased refs/reffing. This **** is ruining football.
Italy should be banned from international football for life. Italy is where all this disgrace cheating **** started. First with diving injury faking. Yes i watch serie a games and its a disgrace how good Italians are at diving and injury faking probably cause they practice it 24/7 and then it moved on to other leagues and then the Paying ref ad/or max fixing **** again started by Italians. We all know the Serie A scandal and we all know Italy bought the world cup if you think otherwise you are a complete moron. Not only that they are VERY DIRTY players also.
you can flame me all you want but deep inside you know i am right.
That was only thing that pissed me off about CL this season lol Barca cheating their way into a final they dont deserve to be in and also iniesta dives Puyol and busquets injury fakes. But they deserved the win despite them not supposed to be there.
But i don't care i wanted barca through anyway so not like i really care anymore. (though not how they progressed)
most important note People call me "dumb "retarded" etc. But yet when i prediced what is going to happen in matches i am always right,
example CL final. i said if barca are going to win it would be from defensive mistakes, Messi wouldn't be a major problem, and Henry would cause man u all the problems. Guess right i was right yet again.
Other than Messi's goal which was from a defensive mistake by not marking him at all he scored other than that not really any real threat.
So how am i "dumb" "retarded" when i was so precise on my prediction(s)? thats what i thought retards who's dumb now. JEALOUSY.
and knowing everyone jealousy of me i'm probably going to get another yellow card for no reason.
