Nailed the JMB situation when he signed. Pretty predictable and no slight on anyone (except those who don’t value Farke’s outstanding record at developing players! 🤣)

I disguised £625.72m of owner money as "sponsorship" in Sham Pain Super Nova before the commission caught me. City managed £830.69m. Evidence found: 7/10. Beat that: leedsthat.com/shampain @leedsthat so close!

Always gave his all and an integral part of El Loco’s Revolution. That means a lot more to me than a throw away comment from his mum! Best of luck Jackie boy 🫡

🇺🇾 While this World Cup did not go to plan for Marcelo Bielsa and Uruguay, both nation and manager always earn conversation.
📘 Later this year, @roclufc’s “El Loco Celeste” will chart the trials and tribulations of Bielsa’s time as manager of Uruguay.
Was the tactical disasterclass brought on by the mentality issues or vice versa? How much was down to Argentinian spirit and Messi brilliance? Either way, it was Tuchel responsibility and by the end England were waiting to lose. Well done for getting to the cusp of glory? Nah
A couple of years ago Bielsa spoke about the intolerance VAR has brought to football, urging the public to ignore the media’s obsession with controversy. Sadly it’s gone the complete other way.
