Guest antz1uk Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 how on earth can blackpool be in that position, they must have earnt £50m in the prem, they can't have spent that much Edit: The mood of supporters did not improve when they learned that the club paid £11m to a company owned by Owen Oyston - Karl's father - during the Premier League campaign, equating to £211,538 a week and putting Oyston senior among the highest earners in world football in 2010-11. Shocking that like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 This seems like the only appropriate place for this, since it's largely terrible. Apparently we're on the cusp of a breakout. http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/15/comparing-world-cup-teams-to-premier-league-sides-pick-a-club/ COMPARING THE 20 PREMIER LEAGUE TEAMS TO WORLD CUP SIDES USA: Dependable. Commited and they already have an American in Geoff Cameron. = Stoke City Germany: Stacked with talent and both have won the biggest titles available to them. = Chelsea Argentina: Both wear Sky Blue, plus the Citizens have three Argentines on the books. = Manchester City Netherlands: They play sexy soccer and are always there or there abouts. Talented. = Arsenal Brazil: The heavyweights historically but both are going through transition. = Manchester United Spain: Love to play attractive soccer but both teams came up short when it mattered. = Liverpool Chile: High-pressing, fun to watch and always pushing the top teams all the way. = Everton Colombia: Teams who possess plenty of young talent, neutrals love to watch both. = Southampton Belgium: Star-studded talent who are robust, good going forward and have plenty of options. = Tottenham France: ‘Le Toon’ have a huge number of French stars, both are on the cusp of a breakout. = Newcastle Costa Rica: The surprise package, Palace shocked everyone last season, Los Ticos this summer. = Palace Mexico: The type of team you don’t want to play against. Tough tackling. Organized. Grinders. = Sunderland Ecuador: Regimented and on their day, can be lethal. Topsy-turvy teams who are unpredictable. = Hull City Uruguay: Attractive style of play, don’t let up too many goals but never score that many either. = Swansea Australia: The hardest-working team out here. Low on quality, high on effort. Proud. = Leicester City Bosnia: Upstarts who are just getting established. Nobody really knows what to expect. = Burnley Switzerland: Some would argue watching paint dry is more riveting, but capable of shocks. = Aston Villa Ivory Coast: A real mix of experience and youth, both tend to underwhelm after promising plenty. = QPR England: Solid. Rigid. Lack of creativity. What you see is what you get from these two. = West Brom Croatia: You know when you’ve played vs. these sides. You will have the bruises to prove it. Tough. = West Ham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Interesting article on what the Qatari Aspire programme is doing to a team in Belgium.

Think I watched that too. Seem to remember Aspire's players had an average height of about 6'5 and played the U10 tactic of kick the ball miles in front then send your fastest players to chase it.

Jesse Pinkman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Looking at getting some new boots, is there much difference between £50 boots and £120 range? In this case I'm tempted by the new predators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
