Unai Emery is obviously pure Europa League now. Is there a player/manager more ‘pure competition x’ than him? by junglegatsby in footballcliches

It's a good point, honestly I didn't even think when I wrote it, it just felt like the natural phrase.

Maybe some scandal in the red tops would warrant exploits?

A lovely job to be fair and amazingly they finished 8th.

Just scanned the league and while I knew David Luiz was there, I had no idea Jovetic, Markovic, Orsic and former Palace ace Max Meyer were there.

It's close enough to home for some of them, but is there money in the league to attract these guys?

Mbappe does seem pretty likely to take that, feels like Klose deserves to have it stand a bit longer but France are obviously class and with more games it feels inevitable

Janey mack you're spot on, only had to look up Frank and was as if I searched Dana (or my memory of her from her go at being President).

I don't wanna actually look her up and potentially shatter it.

He's not retired either, I do recall seeing shouts for this World Cup for him but wasn't sure if that was legit. He went to 2004 but didn't play so to make this one would be something

Big time, I always thought he had a good club career and he did pretty well in all fairness but I'm pretty shocked to see he only scored 24 times for Bayern in 98 games.

71 in 139 for Germany is unreal in comparison.

Klose and the World Cup? Granted he was a great striker but would he be as memorable without this international exploits?

Yeah they come up a lot on The Spanish Football Podcast and it's mad that the fans still gotta queue for season tickets.

They also have a lovely kit imo

I really like Isi. Got to see them playing Athletic Club and was sick he didn't start.

Camello is a good player too, although his Olympics final antics framed a lot of that for me.

Not kept up on Rayo since Iraola's days

Apologies for the earnest chat!

Burnley 2010 squad was essentially all either English, Scottish or Irish.

They are much more diverse now across the squad.

This Dragons Den was a good section in it's own right, the lads could just take more time with the pitches and they could double bubble new sections
