The most overrated football-related individual in the history of football.

6 wins on the trot. Simeone better watch out.

True, but how glorious would it be for a 36-year old Roger Federer to return to the number one spot? It would be an epic achievement.

Yes, he's saying that he will probably skip the entire clay-court season in order to focus solely on the French Open, then the grass-court season (2 tournaments basically) and then the hard-court season after that. Well, if he can maximize his results on grass and the North American hard-courts...

Is that what he said? It may be the sensible thing to do (considering his extremely advanced years) but he may be throwing away a golden opportunity of becoming number one again.

There is a lot of weight in what you are saying there, and that is the number one argument in Rafa's favor and one I always bring first in the discussion. Rafa is unique in having had to win his titles against both peak-Roger and peak-Djoko, surely a monstrous achievement. But Federer's...

Federer has destroyed the GOAT argument in early 2017. To do the Australian Open, Indian Wells and Miami treble at age thirty-fucking-five is preposterous.

Federer is unreal. 35 years in tennis is like being 40 in football. Unbelievable! The GOAT and this from a Rafa fan.

Shitty defensive display. I don't know if it's the 3-4-3 or the uselessness of Raki-Busi. But if we don't fix this, Juventus are KO our cules out of the CL.

Juventus & Bayern have a massive advantage over Barca & Real. They can rest players and save themselves for the CL, Barca & Real most definitely cannot.

Because Sevilla's incompetence has given them hope.

While Juve will be warming up in meaningless Serie A games...I hate this!

Yes, but their league is wrapped up, unlike us :(

Great result for Celta Vigo. Besiktas very potent, Genk the fairy-tale continues.

I find it strange that he has not been signed by a rich club yet.

In my view, the role of managers in football is one of the world's great fallacies. I'm not saying that there is no case where the manager has indeed made a difference. What I am saying is that their role is massively exaggerated by both pundits and fans alike.

You are selectively isolating incidents that fit your theory. If you take football in general, you see that what matters is the quality of players (money) Everything else is incidental.

What evidence do you have to back that up?

From best to worst (from Barca's draw POV) 1. Leicester 2. Monaco 3. Dortmund 4. Atletico 5. Juventus 6. Real Madrid 7. Bayern Munich

I have been saying this for years. Managers don't really matter. It's the players that count.
