Cesc

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Guardiola's so embarrassed by his signing that he's leaving Barcelona.

Poor Cesc he does not even get to spend a year with his idol.

Eh he signed him didn't he, and managed to get those players and took a chance on them? I'm not saying he signed them when they were 16 years old and were signed as part of a youth project, but he realised there ability and took a punt. These are exactly the type of players we need, they wouldn't cost a fortune, are at a good age and therefore have enough experience to come into the side immediately.

Pardew is undoubtedly a better manager than Wenger. When you compare their track records over the last ten years it's very plain, Wenger has a few titles and cups, has kept the team in Europe forever and from time to time has presided over the most entertaining brand of football on the planet. But when you look at what really counts, who signed Ben Arfa, Wenger has some way to go before he can emulate Pardew.

I never said Pardew is a better manager than Wenger, just that if Pardew can get high quality players at affordable prices from France, why couldn't Wenger?

Cause Wenger is shit, worst manager in the history of all leagues anywhere ever. And we haven't even started on his wine drinking habits, he's just shit all around.

So bad they named him twice.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

cesc won't be getting a game under a new manager because pep was the one who really wanted him.

the fans weren't particularly keen on buying cesc because they had thiago and tello, so they saw him as a waste of money.

his performances after xmas have been quite poor and some of the fans are already on his back. pep already had enough of him for missing so many chances so dropped him. a new manager won't play him ahead of xavi.

oh dear
