I wasn't always a fan of his managerial style but watching the interviews with him you could really appreciate his qualities. Also, f**k cancer. Watched some podcasts few years back about players that played for him and he was a great manager for his players and they loved him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I think he was a great manager for players (to be honest) because he let them get away with murder but I agree an absolutely top man, charismatic charmer and one of the best shaggers of a generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted August 26 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26 Always seemed like one of the good guys and always stuck two fingers up at the scummy media he had to deal with at the time. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Steven Bergwijn told he will no longer be available to be selected for the Dutch national side after signing for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. Good on them, although they might not have acted in the same way if it was peak van Dijk who made that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no issue picking Wijnaldum for the Euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 It's a bit of a crazy time to have an international break. Why not combine this break with the next one and have a three week international window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I can't believe that international football is back so soon after the trauma of UEFA Euro 2024. Ollie and McGinn are traumatised and Foden is unwell, while Jack looks relieved that he was left out. Haaland is proving that players are better off without it. At least they should play these friendlies behind closed-doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo hoo, the mighty PL England doesn't want to watch Bosnia or Slovakia play football. Let's just call off this silliness, and watch another Bournemouth vs Arsenal game. In fact, the only international game worth playing is England vs Germany in a World Cup final once every 4 years at Wembley, otherwise it's all pointless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player unions should be insisting on 6 weeks off football for every player at some point during each year. Players can't play and train 11 months of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Our old buddy Viktor Johansson is playing a blinder for Sweden tonight away to Azerbaijan including a penalty save. Hopefully showing enough so we never have to watch Olsen play for us again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 A few shocks in the Asian World cup qualifiers today. Aussies lost at home last minute to Bahrain, Harry Souttar with own goal. Their squad barely has any top level players in it now so wouldn't shock me if they missed out on the World cup. Japan 7-0 China and South Korea held 0-0 at home by Palestine. Six go through and then I think another two go through in another group so no reason to panic but looks like they'll be some new qualifiers from that part of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
