Jose, whose reluctance to use young players is almost meme-worthy, managing a squad with an average age of 14 would be funny though,

Xavi is off at the end of the season.

Knew the moment I saw the scoreline against Villarreal he was gone. Curious who steps into that job.

A bit strange that he's going to leave at the end of the season when the reason is that they're not doing well. It's not the same as Klopp. So why not go now? They're miles off it in the league.

I guess it allows them time to line up someone new?

Aye, half a season's worth of time! If it was March/April I'd get it, but in January I don't really.

Last week he said he'd "pack his bags" if the players lost faith, sounds like he does in fact want to pack those bags so I'm not sure why he doesn't just do it now.

Shit man, never thought I’d start to like an English ex-Birmingham City player.

Can't believe you'd dismiss Emile Heskey like that.

Yeah but he played for Villa afterwards, which cancelled the Birmingham out (also I’d completely erased Emile Heskey from my brain).

Just a casual Saturday where the top 2 in La Liga and the top 2 in the Bundesliga are playing against each other.
