Thanks and thanks. That Chelsea win is definitely one of the highlights of my career. It sent them into a tailspin, believe they've lost 4 of 5 since and are sitting 13th in the table. I ran my mouth a bit too much leading into the ManU game and got mine, 2-0 with Rooney and Tevez scoring. But I've beaten Blackburn away 3-0, and Parma and Villa at home 3-0 in the matches surrounding.
I'm happy with that, to say the least. I've already gotten one over on Everton in the League cup, looking forward to dashing any aspirations of winning a title that they have.
Gerrard's been outstanding playing on the right. Seven goals in league competition, another five assists I believe. Torres has been streaky though he's strung together a few good performances as of late. What's the best way to go about coaching him up? His morale is always superb but there seems to be a disconnect...
As for me:
I was offered the Nigeria job during my first season, right after the ACN. A couple other low profile positions but nothing I'd really consider yet. I'd much rather prefer to stay at club level anyway.
I started out at Sunday footie, yes. According to my profile I'm a "popular manager," which I guess has to do with the players liking you? There's about ten players at Rangers who rate me amongst their favourite personnel, even a couple at Newcastle (namely Lampard, who I made my captain). No one at Liverpool yet but I think if I keep this up that'll change. I made Torres vice-captain because I was afraid of losing him if the club slipped at all; don't think I'm going to have to worry about that.
A lot of the other managers "feel we could become friends," too. Wenger used to love me, still listed on his favourite personnel, but now he's one of the people starting stuff up in the media. I just figure after I win the league and the FA cup this year that I could have his job if I wanted, so he can say what he will. The only managers I intentionally piss off are those of my rivals and anyone who says I can't live up to expectations/can't win the league/whatever.
Good enough. Cheers
