Weekend matches

[doctor_mac]

Spuds just lost on pens to Chelsea. Right after Pochettino having a sly dig at us.

What was the dig mWb?

Edit: Actually, have found out....

 

[Oncy]

It was a weird thing to say when you just got knocked out of one and won nothing

 

[Brizzle]

Its a shame that City vs Burnley is the FA Cup and not the league. Dyche had his players absolutely ruining us with dire tackles - would love to see him take the same approach against Pep tomorrow.

 

[MomoWASright]

He way well do the same and cripple a few of their players.

 

[refugee]

That's what he called his cock and balls

I thought he called his cock Lawro?

 

[gkmacca]

To be honest I hate that line. United fans use it all the time but a great player can be in a side that wins SFA, he's still a great player even without the medals.

Well...not really, eh? How many great players without any medals can you list?

Le Tissier? Erm...that's all I've got.

Davey Moyes is the best manager for that job. The ultimate winner who didn't win but was a winner

 

[gkmacca]

Le Tissier? Erm...that's all I've got.

Ah, that's a good choice, although I guess one could say that if he had really worked to realise his full potential he would have gone to a bigger club and won something. I always took Hansen's point as being as much about evidence of ambition and drive as it was about medals.

Le Tissier? Erm...that's all I've got.

He's the only one I could think of too. Defoe didn't either (I think) and he was a good goalscorer. Erm.......Collymore? Although that was as much self-inflicted as anything else.

I think Defoe won the league cup, didn't he, with Spurs. So that's a sort of tiny medal.

What? Is Dyche sending out the under 12s in the FA cup, or something?

One report says: 'Dyche still believes in the magic of the cup, even though he plans to make several changes to his line-up'. Yeah right!

 

[Brizzle]

I expect they will rotate as they have some important bottom of the table league games coming up.

 

[manwithnoname]

I'm sure Burnley's second-string will still be capable of crippling one or two City first teamers

 

[Frogfish]

It's maybe not that they don't have any at all but that they have far less than inferior players. Gerrard without a PL title for example.

Ah, now then, you're up to your old tricks changing the question!

Haha nothing like a parameter change. TBH I too struggled to come up with the names of any great players that won nothing at all - there must be some, though maybe not in this era.

There are certainly loads who didn't win much. Bobby Moore arguably being the prime example as far as English league players are concerned.

 

[Fabio]

Totti should have won more

 

[Oncy]

Basically that they were still in 4 competitions whilst we were on holidays.

Soooo.......
