triggs

Had his reasons probably.

Depay is a lovely player to watch, always looking to get involved

Man Utd have told commentators to call him Memphis apparently

Young should have done better there

What they should do is sub Young for Herrera and move Depay to the left. Is Schweinsteiger injured or something?

Why have they gone to Howard Webb when not one thing remotely controversial has happened?

Its Hoddle isn't it, not Curbishley?

Great by Kane, unlucky for Eriksen

I think he really wanted to come back here tbh, kind of like Fabregas with Arsenal and then going to Chelsea

That Spurs team is fucking horrible

What's with the Anguish? We complain when the big boys take all the good players are we complaining when the mid table sides take them too? I think its a good sides outside the top 4 - 6 are signing quality. It's just the way this forum operates pal. If Serie A/Bundesliga/La Liga was signing all these good players for midtable clubs, this forum would be jobbing one off at how amazing those leagues were going to be, whilst at the same time slagging off English football for being so far behind. Because its England thats signing these players at midtable clubs, its all of a sudden heinous, disgusting, awful for the Champions League (although I'm pretty sure if a CL club was in for these players, they would go there, so it tells its own story) and every other which way you want to negatively comment on it. Quite frankly its a sinister state of affairs when people can be that self loathing over their own country, whilst actively obsessing over a nation that promulgates rampant and offensive patriotism (USA), but each to their own. I'm sure no matter how many good players the mid table clubs sign, they will be referring to them as "dross" after about 3 weeks into the season. I haven't seen Rondon play much in club football for ages so can't comment on his circumstances but in general I think its a bad thing that players are moving from historically big clubs to play for bad teams either fighting relegation or trying to get midtable in the Premier League. In our own club here, we've been basically shit for ten years and we've been able to get the best players from clubs such as PSV and Ajax who in the past were European powerhouses but due to not having enough money they'll never have a chance of winning or competing in Europe again unless they get a sheikh to take them over. The same with teams like Marseille who have lost two of their best players to West Ham and Swansea this season.

It's a big ordeal like

Kaka laughing at my expense, a new low

Finally

Looking forward to it tbh. Think we have some exciting players like Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, hopefully Aarons and Ayoze and we seem to finally have a centre half that can run

Would quite like if the UEFA coefficient were based on FIFA rankings (had they not been completely bollocks, that is). That way, smaller nations that produces good players would have a bigger chance of getting into Europe, even if they are always getting sold off. Then Belgium would have 4 teams in it

Tbf it was just about the luckiest goal ever scored

What's with the Anguish? We complain when the big boys take all the good players are we complaining when the mid table sides take them too? I think its a good sides outside the top 4 - 6 are signing quality. Well if your only interest is the Premier League it's good but if you follow other leagues and the Champions League it's bad

How do you get the pic of your team up on here?

A fiver on Celtic@ 1/3, PSV@1/2, Arsenal@2/7 and Lyon@8/15 to win

How are they clearly as good as Chelsea? Chelsea are better in almost every area

I said "for the amount of money they spend". Of course they're a good team but not near as good as Chelsea and I'd probably have Arsenal above them now too

Their squad isn't great at all for the money they spend. Guardiola wouldn't be able to automatically turn that team into champions either

FFS

To be fair to Pardew it must have been difficult to play attacking football with players like Ben Arfa, Sissoko, Cabaye, Perez, Cisse, Ba, Remy, Debuchy, Janmaat, Santon, Marveaux. All you can do with players like that is hoof it and hope for the best tbf
