Tomkins latest effort.

[Kobayashi Maru]

@paul_tomkins Torres was playing awful all game v Villa in Dec and scored in the last minute? He can pull rabbits out of hats, Ngog can't. Can't wait for my reply, to be published in the form of a 6 part book series.

 

The greatest thing Tweeter ever did was limit the number of characters per tweet.

[Antynwa]

paul_tomkins @Antynwa Torres can also pick up injuries - something he's done more than score late away goals.

 

i've asked him whats the point in keping him if thats the case then.

[Ted]

Don't even bother with him, Ant.

[The Dude Abides]

I did like this particular tweet from him:-

 

'Forwarding a Henry Winter tweet to me is like posting a shit through my door. Please, don't do it.'

 

Brilliant. The man has a sense of humour.

 

Thought Winter is a cunt, Tomkin's is only upset with him because he posted some critical stuff of Rafa there awhile back. Before that he was one of his favourite journo's.

[stringvest]

Never mind all that bollocks. What the world and his wife want to know is how the fuck does Tomkins use Twitter? He can't even get himself up to operating temperature in 160 words, never mind 160 characters....

It was an excellent read.

Is he not working for Inter by now?

Haha. Paolo Tomkinsano. He must be missing those brunch dates at Melwood.

I'll tell you much, when it goes tits up at the San Siro, Rafa will surely miss his propaganda skills.

Why "when"?

 

I doubt they'll repeat the success of last year, but I also doubt it will go "tits up" either.

I heard on newstalks sports show tonight, apparently Inters owners are struggling financially and theres not going to be alot of money available.

 

So he may have walked away from a team with no money expecting to manage a team with lots of money. But he actually might have fuck all. Hes bound to lose the plot eventually.

 

Edit: He might have last year actually.

He'll have some initial success but whenever it's his squad, it will implode badly. The fans also wont like losing their home record soon. Inter also won't dominate the financial game in Italy for long.

 

I personally hate that club and can't stand the corrupt bastards. So can't wait for it to happen.

Like at Valencia?

 

Dripping with mongs on here.

Actually yes exactly like Valencia. Rafa is a great coach, a world class one even. He's fucking absolute dirt at spotting a player though.

 

Mongs? Yes child righteo

[RobbieOR]

That article is actually fairly spot on.

Took over in 2001.

 

Won La Liga.

 

2004

 

Won La Liga and the UEFA Cup.

 

Surely after 3 years he could lay claim to it being his squad.

 

I'd say Reina and you'd say not a difficult spot to make.

 

I'd say Alonso and you'd say not a difficult spot to make.

 

etc. etc. etc.

 

Token mong.

[Irishlad]

I'd just say he's fucked off and left us up shit creek with a shit squad.

 

 

Get over it

[ngogswilly]

I think he'll win the league this year. I'd say they'll make a good stab at the CL again too. His success depends on investment because that Inter squad has alot of players pushing on in years. Eto'o, Lucio, Maicon, Cambiasso, Samuel, Cordoba, Zanetti, Burdisso, Materazzi, Chivu, Mancini. There all nearly 30 or more. Rafa will get another 2/3 good years out of them. He'll need to be planning for the future and If they have no money he wont be able to replace all those players with top quality.

 

Edit: They have some good young players there, but not enough I think. They'll need investment.

[Coro]

I'd say after all these years you still don't know how to properly criticise the man.

 

Don't worry, you're not alone.

[Randy Marsh]

Have to say, I agree with every word of that.

[ngogswilly]

Have to say, I agree with every word of that.

 

Its definently one of his better articles. Its a change from last years stuff.

The same man who left us with a spine that included Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Masch and Torres. Who signed Xabi Alonso, Dirk Kuyt, Arbeloa, Crouch, Luis Garcia, Benayoun, Sissoko amongst others from relative obscurity.

 

Who was in for Dani Alves way before Barca, Pato, Aguero, Vidic and more before being stopped by Coco and the gruesome twosome.

 

He made some poor decisions in the last 2 seasons in high pressure situations, The Barry Alonso fiasco I will almost allow because Alonso was in poor form, Barry in great form and Barry would have been an adequate signing.

[Jim MM]

Recently I’ve been described by a couple of people on Twitter as the most negative Red they’ve ever encountered.

Well that's an opening line I never thought I'd see.

[PeteH]

I agree with pretty much everything in that article.
