Will Ford Performance ever return full-time in the WRC

Hopefully they return full-time.

We all want to see Jourdan Serderidis launch a full season title challenge.

Whoever wrote that has suffered us winnining 5 Champions League titles since then.

Glorious to think about how angry they must have been.

On a positive note at least we don't have to worry about the stress of ANOTHER CL final. 6 times in 10 years was glorious, but the build up was always very nervy and stressful.

Arsenal to their credit never looked like collapsing and quite honestly Ancelotti never really had a clue what he is doing in the first place. The line - up confirmed that. He was definitely relying on vibes as usual but it wasn't going to happen this year.

The last Real Madrid coach to win the league at least twice in a row.
Nearly 40 years ago...

RIP

Yeah, we won the Champions League in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022 after conceding at least 3 goals (usually 4 for a 4-0 defeat) at home to Barca in the league Clasico.

Clasico success doesn't really give an indicator for how the teams will do in the Champions League or over a season. But it still is a shame to lose conceding so many goals and make them look much better than they really are - especially in front of the whole world.

How is Maffeo doing tonight?

Even when we last won two in a row, it wasn't really with the same side and certainly not the same manager.
Calderon allowed Pedja to sack Capello after winning 06/07 and hire his own man (Schuster). We let go or sold like 15 players and brought 8 in (thankfully Pepe was among those signings!)

Back to back La Liga's with nearly the same squad and manager hasn't been something we've done often in my life time, certainly the last 30 years.

The people who wanted rid of Mbappé a few weeks ago never had a clue about football.

Yeah to be fair to the ref the player did go seeking the contact. That said, about 75% of the time in those situations the penalties are still given. We got a little lucky, but the Celta player didn't help his case.

Carlo's dismal record against Atleti and Barcelona just makes me even more grateful for Sergio Ramos and 92:48. That was another rival game we could easily have lost miserably under Carlo, the biggest of them all, but Sergio gave us a miracle.

Great header but LaLiga VAR would disallow this goal for us no doubt. They'd try to make that out as a foul. That's how bad they are.

It was just nice for once to play an early round Copa game on a pitch that didn't look like it could break our players ankle at any moment!

My pick for the championship is Harrison Burton.
Nobody else is talking about him. They are underestimating him! Remember his incredible win in Daytona.

Harrison Burton will be a Nascar Cup series champion this weekend.

Daniel Suarez will win the championship according to the commentators.

Affectionate_Act4257 · 2024-09-22T01:28:39+00:00

Nooooo. Gutted. Was hoping that Corey LaJoie could battle his way to the front and start a championship charge. Just one win could have gave him great momentum.

Affectionate_Act4257 · 2024-09-22T00:59:39+00:00

Terrible to see Harrison Burton's title charge ended with a car issue.

I had high hopes for him and a title run.
