  1. That you can’t make sense of my post is neither surprising nor my problem. I detest everything about how you handle yourself on this forum and you basically ruin any thread you decide to participate in. I owe you exactly jack shit and am not about to burn someone (not named Chris Ogden) that shared his perspective on the program just to placate you. Keep on believing what you want to believe, because there is nothing anyone on this board can do to convince you otherwise.
  2. Nobody on this board wouldn’t know the name of this guy and he’s still involved in the sport in a way that would position him to know a metric fuck ton more than you would ever hope to. But hey, you keep doing you and ruining any attempt to have a productive conversation about the program on this board. It’s your world and we’re just living in it, right?
  3. By AD, I meant athletics department. I should have clarified. My guess is that Perrin was delegating a lot and it was someone else meddling. I see that as a very possible (if not likely) scenario. Not that it excuses anything, as Shaka needs to learn that he’s ultimately accountable for the on court product. This is where his youth works against him, as a more experienced coach would be comfortable pushing back.
  4. Convo was in early May. Likely it was more of an issue with the previous administration.
  5. There is no room for balanced or rational positions if you’re talking UT hoops with Derka. You’re only allowed to think that Shaka sucks or, if not, you must think he’s the 2nd coming of John Wooden. FWIW, I talked to a former Barnes player about Shaka not that long ago. He seemed to think Shaka was in trouble and he blamed Shaka not being strong enough politically as the reason. Essentially he said that Shaka has been getting a lot of pressure to recruit guys with high rankings by the powers that be vs. recruiting guys that fit his Havoc system. He made it sound like Shaka has to deal with a lot of oversight and that Shaka needed to step up and take a stronger position on bringing in the kids that he wants to run his vision. It was an interesting conversation and painted a picture that perhaps our AD office was meddling to the detriment of the team.
  6. Meh.
  7. The wife and kids are out of town, and our Chuy is nothing short of despondent about it. That, or he’s hella bored.
  8. The number of players that flamed out at Chelsea but are playing well at the WC is.....staggering. I get that international ball is a different beast, but it’s still impossible for me to ignore. This club has squandered so much talent that it’s really disheartening to watch.
  9. Hazard just linked up with Lukaku for a lovely goal for Belgium, and I kind of want to throw up in my mouth that we had that combo and let it go.
  10. Okay. I suppose that’s good at this point, but really hard to say for sure. Not sure if it even matters though. He’ll be gone in 3 years or less anyway.
  11. So Conte would get to leave Chelsea for Real Madrid? Just a slight upgrade for him.
  12. Meh. The board will continue to fuck around and I will continue to not be surprised by it. I’m just happy as fuck that they aren’t running the company I work for.
  13. I won't lose any sleep if Morata heads elsewhere. I wasn't a big fan of that signing to begin with and would prefer we move on.
  14. This club is horribly mid-managed.
  15. Conte is a quality manager and we’d be smart to give him time and the financial backing to build his vision. Odds are good that we will do neither, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
  16. If he wants to go, then he goes. And frankly, with our board it would be hard to blame him.
  17. So you think he forgot how to manage in under a year? Seems unlikely. Some of it has to fall at the feet of the players as well. Of course, most of this is the board’s fault for fucking around during the window last summer.
  18. I'm feeling the yellow for sure. 3rd is interesting, but we usually need those ~5 times per year. I would never buy a 3rd shirt for myself because they always end up looking pretty bad. The black and orange is the only recent exception.
  19. Oh god. That’s heinous. Set it on fire.
  20. I won’t argue that dropping 2 points to Huddersfield with UCL qualification in the balance is acceptable. That said, changing managers every 2 years is a vicious cycle that we need to break if we ever want any level of consistency.
  21. Is that good? It seems good.
  22. Conte has done a solid job keeping the team in it. Would have been easy to pack it in after the home loss to Spurs. We should totally sack him. [emoji849]
  23. Not sure why Rudiger acted so surprised there. He was like 3 feet offside.
  24. Replacing Conte would be idiotic, so I’m just going to assume that’s exactly what we will do.
  25. Giroud has been playing his ass off. He definitely deserves to keep starting over Morata. FA cup final vs Mou. The press will be entertaining if nothing else.
