Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

Yes but Clasico at home especially is never meaningless. A whopping is in order.

 

Think he just meant that even in a ‘what-if’ scenario like that we’d be on top.

We should now set a good series, enough with the silly point wasting.

 

Exactly. I don't even understand some of their obsessions with barca and even Girona.

We win this league coasting and only drop it if we implode.

 

I said IF. Jesus Christ.

 

Real Madrid supporters are racist scum.

 

I only think about the CL. Miliato should be back soon, right?

 

Yes, he should return soon along with Tibo.

I remember how scary those two losses looked back then (feels like an eternity already).

Carlo did achieve some nice defensive solidity this year. This guy was on the verge of retiring at Everton at some point.

A great comeback story.

 

I wrote about Ancelotti's career here before. His comeback story went before Everton.

Saachi coveted Ancelotti as a player, despite the medical staff in Milan discovering his underlying injuries and advising against signing him. Nevertheless, Saachi persisted, and Ancelotti went on to become a legendary figure in Milan as a player. Following his retirement, Ancelotti's first coaching opportunity arose at AC Reggiana, primarily due to the fact that he was a hometown hero. From there, he received his first major coaching opportunity with Parma, a city also located in Emilia-Romagna, where Ancelotti was also considered a local hero. Unfortunately, Ancelotti's performance in Parma was mediocre, leading to his dismissal in 1998. In 1999, he took over as the head coach of Juventus, but his tenure there was marked by two underwhelming seasons. His coaching career seemed to be stagnating. However, Parma decided to rehire him, and just as he was on his way to sign a contract with them, AC Milan came calling. His resume at that point read "failure" in Parma and Juventus.
AC Milan's interest in him was primarily due to his status as a Milan legend, but he almost did not become one as Milan almost did not sign him as a player. He probably would not get the Milan job if he was a AS Roma legend who never played for them. In 2001, he reluctantly tunred down Parma and joined Milan. If he had gone to Parma, his career as a coach might suffer another catastrophe. Parmalat collapsed in 2004, but he could have been their coach at that point. So his career might have ended around 2004.

 

Bilbao sign Djalo from Brago. Maybe Nico is on his way out

 

Brazilian 🇧🇷 soccer is wild.

The Botafogo player drags his “injured” teammate back into the field to try to waste time, then the Fluminense players drag him back out so the game can go on. 💀

Find them. Ban them for life. Prosecute them.

 

Arsenal running riot against SHU. 0-3 in 15 minutes.

 

Sheffield United have conceded at least 5 goals in 4 consecutive home games.

Damn.

 

Sheffield have conceded 71 goals in the EPL so far. Safe to say they are out of their depth in the EPL. Best league doe

 

6-0

 

I didn't believe you, or at least thought you got something wrong so had to check.
