1. YOU have never read any neutral post from him
OR
2. HE has never posted any neutral post?

because if its 1, then perhaps its a bit unfair to call people `crap'? Define crap? He gave a view and typed a few lines trying to explain and you call that crap...? gee...


sebelum post dan nak panggil orang crap tuh, pakai la otak sikit....especially when you want to link people's idea /view to their status.

In regard to excuses, i recalled used to be very sick of Houllier's many post-match interviews..hahah

I think in football, there are teams that have triumphed because of the injection of wealth and there are teams that have not moved on to bigger thing because of the lack of wealth. But then, once in a while, we also have teams achieving glory with limited resources and vice versa. That is why the topic can be controversial.

To me , its not wrong to cite the lack of funds as one of the reason for lack of success. Teams like Villa, Everton to me, can use this reason more than others.

Teams like MU and Chelsea will find it no longer viable to cite lack of wealth as failure (if they do fail in coming years) because we do know how much resources and also income these 2 teams generate...

For Arsenal, i wont blame the lack of wealth if they fail to achieve anything again, Rather, its the lack of utilization of funds. And by the way, they just splashed out some money for Arshavin. And is Arsene's reign really more succesful than Rafa for the past 4-5 seasons?

The difficult one is Liverpool. Its a big team, strong history. It is not a Villa, not Everton (in terms of fan base and $) but neither is it MU or Chelsea. To me, it is not right for Liverpool to blindly use the excuse `lack of funds' for our failure to win titles. But then, I do believe that if our financial status is stronger, there is a possibility we can purchase better players that might help to achieve success.

And its sometimes baseless to add value of players brought over few seasons and equal them to value of 1 player and said both clubs are equal in terms of spending. Its not. I've bought over my 10 years of driving several cars-second hand, Japanese, etc, which if i add on the total value, is equal to a price of 1 spanking new C200. Does it mean my financial status today is as good as the fella who walked into a Benz showroom and buy a C200 today?

Your core was vital to success. But you needed the millions to surround your core with Rooney, Rio, Christiano and others. So its a milk + nice tea power = to nice teh tarik thingy...
I am of the opinion that SAF IS the most vital ingredient to MU's success. But after that, i cant differentiate if its the core youth players OR the millions that contributed.

Yeah, the non-footballing management in MU did well to generate funds. But at the end of the day, one cannot run away from funds to build a successful club.

Geee!!! brilliant!
I now got excuse not to post anything because of Liverpool's position is lower than MU.... brilliant, mate!



speaking of excuses, i'm always intrigued by coaches/management banning WAG from being near players during an important tournament..with the excuse/reason that bed activities degrades a player's performances...
