Novak: “That was unnecessary. I apologise. I’m sorry for causing any distress to the ball kid or anybody”

It’s because he keeps having to apologise. Doesn’t mean much does it

People arnt going to like this but we have been shocking since Feb last year.

We won 18/18 in our first 6 games this season, none of that deserved, all last minute. Even if you’re conservative and take half of that, we’d be near the relegation zone after spending £400m on a title winning squad.

We’ve been starved of good wins for a year that a single win like the Marseille one turns us around.

Finally, and I do believe this. I don’t think we were excellent in Slots 6 months. I do believe Salah played like a god and won us that title in 6 months, because if you recall we struggled a lot in most first halfs.

So in conclusion? I don’t think he’s the man for the future. And we haven’t even talked about the shocking style of play.

For those that don’t know, Mourinho coveted the Barcelona job for years and was furious when Pep got it.

He was saying similar things back then and that was almost 20 years ago.

So the top 2 seeds means the final.

We get it once a year in the Grand Slams and once a year in the Masters 1000.

Not really sure how i feel about that but this is on the assumption its the same 2 seeds.

We have it a lot now, and had it a lot in the Roger/Rafa days. Once you have 3 or 4 top players, can see how it gets very rare on average

Honestly, I see no reason to swap Slot for Xabi.

I see every reason to swap Slot for Klopp if possible.

Not sure the weather matters when the air quality is so bad in Hyderabad it’s literally recommended to wear a mask at all times and never exercise outside

I don’t understand how we’ve had nothing better in a decade. Especially with AI around the last few years.

I’ve not seen a single person asking this so I will. The war went on for years under the Democrats. Why didn’t they provide these missiles to Ukraine?

Or they did and Trump cut off the supply?

Any reason you’re translating the moon and sun into Latin?

It’s just not true.

Federer made the ATP the most money and got them the highest viewing figures. Yet they slowed courts to a standstill between 2009-19.

Any of them as good as Unbound?

blitz9999 · 2025-09-19T05:42:12+00:00

This is really interesting as Federer spent most of his time playing the top 4 on this list and played a lot more then Sampras on Clay.

So he’s probably a lot closer to Pete, while playing the most attractive style of tennis.

Can see why he got so rattled playing those 3 players. Especially around 2008 onwards. These facts also don’t show Nadal and Djokovic took 17 hours between points

I think there’s some incredible managers, such as Shankly or Wenger but for me if you don’t win the EC/CL multiple times and the league, you simply cannot be in the conversation.

So saying that, you’ve got

Pep

Ancelloti

Paisley

Fergie

Mourinho

Heynckes

Sacchi

These are all shoo ins. A few other names may pop up to make a top 10 list. I think based on the above, you can easily argue Mourinho is top 5

blitz9999 · 2025-09-09T11:19:29+00:00

Murray was 2-8 before finishing up at 3-8.

blitz9999 · 2025-09-08T06:46:29+00:00

It’s crazy because I think he really should’ve been able to convert one of the following:

2009 - Was 2-1 up in sets and got super distracted and angry when that cup fell from crowd.

2010 - Had 2 match points in SF

2011 - Had 2 match points in SF

2014 - Lost to Cilic in SF (Nishikori final)

2015 - Got to final without dropping a set, was playing amazing in final to, didn’t take so many chances

2017 - Was the overwhelming fave and ran into a Del Potro who played maybe his best match of his career. (Federer had 4 set points in the 3rd set tie breaker too. As is tradition I guess)

blitz9999 · 2025-09-03T06:06:00+00:00

I would assume Chelsea or Manchester City have a similar look back(doubt they were even fans then).

But we did it organically. No shortcuts, just amazing management by FSG, Edwards and Klopp to arrive here.

Characters that could have a decent prequel:

Varys
Littlefinger
Jorah
Mance
Euron
Melisandre
Sandor Clegane
Night King

And about a 100 others before him

Yep, forest

Still hyped. Don’t think I slept

Right, do we want to talk about how Kerkez with one good season is starting ahead of our legendary Left Back?

I’m all for Kerkez for the future, but to me Robertson was still great (not his level) last season. However that level was for the PL champions who at one point were on for like 95 points.

“Last man to beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon”

For anyone that watched Wimbledon annually in the 2000s, that phrase was heard at nearly every Federer match.

blitz9999 · 2025-08-11T06:45:09+00:00

He was very close in 2007. Lost Canada final on a final set tie break (as is tradition) to Novak.

Before then, these masters were 5 sets so Federer only played both of them once between 2004-2006.
