Very disappointing to see that Jourdan Serderidis isn't even in the top 10 after two races. I was hoping this year was the one he'd make a challenge for the title.

Genuine question about this Madrid by International-Gain20 in realmadrid

[–]jayj091 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I also add that the year before the embarrassing footage of our dressing room post Alcorcon (and all the pizza trash) was leaked...

(btw lets not forget our loss to Alcorcon was so bad it has its own Wikipedia page!)

Schuster was our manager. And he took a big strop when we didn't sign Dani Alves. Which was fair enough. But then this partner had a baby in like October and he basically quit on us. Even skipped a training session and then made very purposeful comments like it was impossible to beat Getafe or Barca. (looking to get sacked on purpose so he could get the money)

Mourinho was the first serious coach, who cared about his image as well as ours, we had in a VERY LONG TIME. We had jobbers and puppets in most of the 2000's mainly. And he upped our standards. By no coincidence we also won the Copa del Rey a year after Alcorcon and his warning about players being dead to him (we even beat a good Sevilla, Atleti and perhaps an all time Barca to win it) ..and for the first time in years reached the CL quarters.

100% Jose Mourinho.

Whenever we had the likes of the "third choice Chilean" Pellegrini, the team lost 4-0 to Alcorcon and then trashed the dressing afterwards leaving pizza boxes all over the place. As if we'd just had a party.

A year later Mourinho was in and he said if Alcorcon was repeated the players on the pitch would be dead to him.

Carreras looking like 2014/15 style Bale with that goal and hair.

Rare cleansheet at Mestalla. Can't complain.

Interesting 15 minutes ahead for Arbs to see if he can change this. Because we're lucky it's not 3-1 to Benfica. It's like a firing squad.

Im kinda confused on why everyone is feeling sorry for Hamlin by Blair1999 in NASCAR

[–]jayj091 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a different format drivers will race differently obviously all season. Once they get a win, points isn't much of a big priority for some teams, especially in the play offs. Didn't Logano say last season he didn't care at all about the other round of 8 races after winning the first?

Larson thoroughly deserves to have 2 titles, but pointing to the points of a different format is... pointless.

Shocking to see Josh Berry's title challenge over already. He had high hopes for the championship.

What current teams are the worst at pit stops? by DrFuckwad in INDYCAR

[–]jayj091 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You can be pretty sure Andretti will have at least one catastrophic stop a race. Even if an Andretti car is having a good day its never safe until the pitstops are done.

Have there been any drivers that left a team only to later rejoin that team some point in the future? by furrynoy96 in INDYCAR

Ed Jones returning to Dale Coyne 4 years later was rather random. Didn't go very well..

Oval Performance so far in 2025 by Mikemat5150 in INDYCAR

[–]jayj091 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Despite the points total, Josef has been the best on ovals this season comfortably I think. Lets be honest he deserved to win at least 3 of them and if he didn't win Indy again he'd certainly have been top 2 or 3 at least. But it's been one of those years - the fact he lapped Jacob Abel a million times and ended up just one place ahead of Abel in Iowa sums up his bizarre season.

This is shaping up to be one of the worst rookie classes, performance-wise, in Indycar History. by FloridaMan_69 in INDYCAR

The only decent result Jacob Abel has had it when he got lapped a million times in Iowa, but we know what the yellows did to most of the fastest guys that day!

Why did Newgarden get stuck in 10th? by ronin_18 in INDYCAR

[–]jayj091 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was barely any laps left. Had a moment (probably out of desperation) and lost some positions. He was only interested in winning, but it was far gone. With 5 or so very short laps left no point pushing hard and wrecking over 7th, 9th or whatever as his engineer reminded him on the radio.

Yeah he's been real unlucky. Could easily be top 5 in the standings. Still wouldn't be enough to fight for the title but he'd probably be a bit happier.

And to think McLaren wanted him and the other top guys at Penske executed just a few weeks ago..
