What a guy. Just wish he didn't give me a headache when listening to his long-winded answers in interviews and not answering the question. How the fuq do the players understand him?

Balague said that he finds pre and post-match interviews a complete waste of his time but understands he has to do them. The players understand him because his English is much better than comes across in those interviews, he also has staff that are more fluent.

He doesn’t feel like he has to explain himself with regards to personnel changes, he doesn’t want to explain his tactics and isn’t willing to put pressure on us by talking about our title chances.

He can do his interviews via the means of interpretive dance for all I care.

He would somehow go up even further in my estimation if he did.

I can see him channeling a bit of Kate Bush swishing around while saying Babooshka every now and then in the same way he said Bizot

We really went from one extreme to another with Gerrard and Emery.

I was out in the pub last night, I had two Man Utd fans and one Liverpool fan telling me as soon as a big job at Man Utd or Chelsea becomes available Emery’s off. The Liverpool fan was also beaming how they can spend what they want because his club along with a few others (the Sky Cartel), created the PSR rules that pulled the draw bridge down to stop the likes of Villa or Newcastle entering the club.

Arrogant arseholes.

What time did you get thrown out of the pub for liberal use of the headbutt?

I rapped a Chelsea fan on the head with my knuckles a few times at work last May when he started taking the piss out of us not qualifying for the CL while they did. I did it in a way that it looked like horseplay but he felt it alright. He hasn’t mentioned football since.

Attwell would've booked the headbutter and headbutee.

Realistically how long have we got him for? He's managed so called 'big' clubs already anyway, without full control. He has it with us though, and I can't see him getting that anywhere else.

Not enough can be said or written on how Unai can change a game from the bench. Yesterday all three subs made a massive impact. As Watkins said, "a tactical genius".

It might depend on how well we replace the likes of Martinez, SJM and Ollie over the next year or two.

I was thinking the same too. He's overachieving with an ageing squad and loan/free signings that he's mostly getting the absolute best from. Such a shame Barkley is out atm.
