Nobody said absolute best.
He has a strong personality to manage egoes (Eto'o, Ibra, Touré, etc.), very good at tactics, and has a really good public image in general, so overall he can be considered as one of the best. Of course people will always say "he only managed one team" but I don't share this opinion x)

I'm surprised that QPR signed Remy. After Redknapp said he was upset at the wages being paid to some of QPR's players, he goes out and signs a player for a record fee for the club. I've heard that Cisse is going out on loan to some Middle Eastern team, which should help their wages, but all-in-all I feel that Harry must feel REALLY confident that he can keep QPR up. There is just so much investment in that club that I can't see good things for them financially if they fail to stay in the prem.

I am a big fan of Harry. I think he's a genuine bloke with masses of talent, he's probably the best English manager around in my opinion. If anyone can do it, he can. QPR have been playing way better already than they were under Mark Hughes. And Remy is going to be way better than Cisse.

I also don't think Guardiola is a god. He will be able to prove himself going to the second team and showing us what he does with Bayern.

The QPR of the last 2-3 matches should have no problem staying up.
If they start trying to attack too, which this signing apparently is meant to help with.

Does Ustream not give a fuck? how can the same channel broadcast HD Spanish football every day?

e. anyway now I have the tough choice of 2 good English commentators and Arsenal-Swansea or some Murkan jerk and Ray Hudson, who at times can funny but most of the time just sounds like he has only one functioning lung and Barca-Malaga.

To be honest I think you can put a monkey on the sidelines of the Barca team as long as he can speak the words: 'go on kids go have fun!'

There's not much else a manager of Barcelona has to do except let Messi & friends decide.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Alexis is crap. The guy has no composure in front of goal.

And good on Pep for going to Bayern. Hope he can shut all the haters up by winning a shit-ton of trophies. How's his german, btw?

There's one downside though. Their manager should be a wizard of the psyche, to be able to pull back to their feet the squad after bad results or god forbid strings of bad results.
Exatly how good of a manager pep is will be revealed at bayern but I can't deny his charismatic personality traits.
My dick has shrunk to the point where it looks like I have 3 balls.

Demba ba playing so well for Chelsea <3 so glad we have a striker at our club now. Everything we do going forward he is apart of it! So good to see

Chelsea 2-0 Southampon

Ba - Hazard


On the pep subject. Not only does he have good charisma, the guy has been there and done it. He was a great footballer, when your manager is a super talented footballer before he was a manager, they instantly get respect of the team. Which helps so much in management, ala AVB goes to Chelsea, and tells all the old people they shit and benches them = not how to manage. If Pep did it probably respect him more due to being there and done it would tell them differently xD

I have felt this way a while. Many teams have this problem. Bringing in players with lots of tangibles but lacking intangibles. I rate Sanchez miles below Pedro and Villa as attacking strikers. He has poor composure and his decision making is average. He loses the ball quite a lot. His lack of equal quality to his team mates is masked by how good the rest of his team is. I feel a similar way about Di Maria in RM although I think he is better.
