Two months later he admits that the way the campaign ended, culminating in a 5-1 defeat at relegated Newcastle United, ‘killed’ his summer.
‘The feeling after Newcastle was horrible,’ he explains. ‘It is true that after a couple of months you move on, but it put me in a bad mood for the whole of the summer. It killed my holidays. Seriously. I went to Barcelona and the Bahamas with my family, but all the time I was in a bad mood.
‘There was no time to assimilate the defeat at Newcastle because the season finished at the end of the game and I did not have the chance to share my feelings with my players the day after and kill them!
‘Normally when you lose and you are upset with the players you have the opportunity to tell them how you feel on Monday morning when you meet them and have a big discussion and a big fight.
‘But after the Newcastle game it was not possible because many of my players went off to the Euros. So I had to keep my bad feeling inside for the whole of the summer. Even when I was texting my players in France to wish them well I had to hide my real feelings about the Newcastle game.’

The funniest part of this thread was Wanyama being described as "the creative midfielder".

Nope. It is ARSEnal fans spewing garbage as usual on what Spur's fortune will be this season. BTW, Dembele is a DM but also creates. Nothing stops Wanyama from doing the same.[color=brown]wiseone[/color] wrote: The funniest part of this thread was Wanyama being described as "the creative midfielder".
2 of the finest indigenous coaches Nigeria ever had lost in a space of 4 days. Dear Lord, is this a sign that you are taking away from us what we failed to appreciate? I pray for forgiveness of our sins. I pray for the humility to recognize our wrongs and the humbleness and wisdom to right our ways.

- Longer list of haters obtained
- Did double over Man City
- Stopped the run of losses versus Liverpool
- Built a very young team infact the youngest side. Inexperience and fatigue did them in the last few games of the season.
Shuo - wait for this season to start. I predict top 6 for this club. We await the elephants to fight one another.
The club has strengthened and is building a stronger squad. Problem last season was we lost 2 key players in midfield and the bench couldnt step up. Now we have Wanyama. Ditto for striking and we now have Janssen.
I told you years ago that your club is cursed. Rather than come to me privately to ask me what you guys need to do to lift the curse (if anything), you ran abuses upon me and my ancestors! "Hia you are!" You see what happened again last season, it will happen again next season. Your club will raise your hope, only to waya you hot slap in the end. I can guarantee it!
It has nothing to do with inexperience or fatigue, its a curse! trust me.
