This is some kind of mushing, voodoo, jinxing.

Actually, that's just my honest opinion. They seem the best team to me - City is really dependent on a couple of players who can't seem to stay healthy, Chelsea is old and a mess and I just don't trust LvG's United quite as much as maybe I should. Those are the only 4 clubs that could possibly win a title, and Arsenal just appears to be the best of them to me.

And if I could jinx a club out of winning a title, it'd have been Chelsea last season - or every season.

He is a band-aid not a cure is all I meant. He gets fired, saves some club's ass from relegation, sucks the next season, gets fired...rinse, repeat. No doubt if you're in the relegation zone you love him, and no doubt halfway into the next season you're firing him.

Oh, I agree he's not a cure-all; I'm not sure anybody would claim he was. But has he ever been fired in the middle of a season? Has one of his teams ever been relegated? Has he ever been fired after only a single year on the job? You're being disingenuous.

That's over 1.4 points per match. Given the clubs he's been at and the players he's had, that's pretty fucking good.

He doesn't play sexy football and I'd hate to have him ever manage a club I supported, but you have to recognize his ability to get bottom tier teams to play hard and get results.

Bolton and West Ham I'll give you. I'm not being disingenuous. The formatting isn't translating sorry.

Typical ONW dumbness. Both Newcastle and Blackburn went essentially straight down after they canned him
 
FWIW, Blackburn was widely panned for firing him. And Newcastle is Newcastle
 
This is fantastic

Wonder if these reports about Lewandowski to Liverpool have any merit.

I doubt it. Natural for the speculators to start tossing rumors around for change, but Klopp said he wouldn't make a ton of changes. He needs time to evaluate the roster and one has to wonder if the purse strings are tight for this season given Brenden's spending spree over the summer.

Loved that Job Application Story.
 
Never seemed to be Klopp's style to buy established star players anyways - he likes the young guys who will run their legs off for him.
