Paulo Sousa to City

[From Gradel to Grave]

Interesting contribution from a Swansea fan - posted on the Dark Side.

You will have an excellent manager if he does go to you (it seems likely)

Ignore the crud about boring football, the only thing missing for us last season was goal scorers - apart from the odd rubbish performance that all teams experience at this level we played well and created more than enough chances to have walked into an automatic promotion spot. He will ensure a sound defence and patient play which might not appeal to those who claim to to dislike hoofball but all the while want route one stuff.

My only concern is his stickability, he seems to have left QPR under a cloud and now us. However how much is down to him and how much to those who wanted him out is anyone's guess.
It should be remembered that after the absolutely awful position Martinez left us in last summer Paulo took us to our highest league position for 27 years and something like the 7th best finishing position in the club's history.

Apart from our games I wish Paulo and Leicester all the best for the forthcoming season

No, I'm pleased.

Just think who it could have been!

I wonder if he can play the Sousaphone? No it's not like the iPhone.

Around 2mins 50 secs on the video is funny.

I've heard they've been banned from the Walkers

I've got a semi. Does that count?

 

[Jeff]

I've got a semi. I'm renting it out

I almost put that, as it's true.

 

[Brown Nose]

Technically impressive player with a career cut short by injuries. 60 odd Championship games under his belt as a young manager. It will undoubtedly be interesting to see what transpires.

Good luck Paulo.

In the article here I have been worried by the comment (in jest):

But, we are quite confident in ourselves and confident in Milan because he’s going to bring in about £20 million to spend!

.

I just know this figure will now be banded about if we don't spend much, talk about shooting himself in the foot with the idiot fans (an Mercury)

Ironically taking Hull's place. Always the bridesmaid etc

However, Rotherham United have arranged a friendly for the same time, date and venue with fellow Championship outfit Leicester City.

Are all OSs useless?

I read that as them meaning we are a fellow championship outfit to Hull

 

[RHYDAL]

I read that as them meaning we are a fellow championship outfit to Hull

Had it been in the same paragraph as the word Hull, I might have too.

Me too

 

[Blaby blue blood]

Had it been in the same paragraph as the word Hull, I might have too.

But does not the word 'However' at the beginning mean that its tied into what had been previously written/spoken about?

 

[RHYDAL]

Me too

That's right, gang up on the stoopid sheepshagger. Headphones back on. La-la-la.
