@MattyMiller14 If you watch a decent amount of world football you'll see Kasami's goal 25 times over the course of a season.

Wilshere's goal was incredibly good though
They are not that common but example was Lowton and Cisse the season before had similar screamers. They are great goals but you see them every season, even if only 1 or 2 of them. Goals like Wilshere's are rare.

Ba is a market inefficiency that needs to be exploited.

Jack is shit and we should sell him to Barca.

The only good football Arsenal played all season was 10 minutes vs Bayern.

JTB, do you even believe half the shit you say?

What a season. Many memories, as many tears and many, many lessons learned. Underachievement is a jagged pill to swallow; however, complacent we are not. We'll be back in August for 14/15 reloaded and retooled to challenge again to the bitter end.

Congrats Superbia Manchester. You played beautiful football all season. Even the losses were close with no embarrassing score lines. Definitely the deepest squad and best team in the EPL and a deserved winner.

Lol Man-U, not even Europa League.

Sunderland lives! This was by far the most exciting EPL season I've ever followed. Thank You Based NBC for the wonderful coverage!

If only one of the kajillion Spanish-speaking channels here cut a similar deal with La Liga...Speaking of which lololololololol Real Madrid. Get fucked.

It really depends on your definition of "afford." Berlucunt is still one of the richest cunts on the planet, he just has no interest in spending money on the club anymore.

He has a ton of interest in publicly shaming our manager, a Milan legend who he specifically requested to retire from his playing career to take over the squad knowing full well that he has zero experience, though.

If I was Seedorf I'd go back and play somewhere. The man is ripped, he could easily play like Nedved and others.

Also, Real pls, you fuck'd up so many times in this month alone.


PS: 99 points, suckers.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
My biggest downer of the season is still Sunderland not getting relegated.

I just want to be able to watch Huddersfield one fucking time next season, being in Newcastle that was the closest I was going to get. Fuck going to Middlesborough when we always seem to play them on a weeknight too.

Who are the forwards we expect to move this summer? A lot of teams in the Prem need a legit striker and there's certainly a lack of options.


Is Fox airing the FA Cup final next week, or is it only on Foxsoccer2go?

I would think they would air it on Fox, if not, than definitely on Fox Soccer. Everything is always on their paid service.

Most likely DC but....

#MUFC apparently keen to sign Luke Shaw from Southampton and get business done before World Cup. Van Gaal could happen on Wednesday

YES GAHL!

Diego Costa
Edin Dzeko? (sign new deal or leave? Only 1 year left iirc)
Lavezzi?
Cavani?
Mandzukic
Ba
Eto'o
Torres (If someone will buy him)
Soldado?

Tiote's disallowed goal was pretty special too. Gotta give him props for that one.

Your league win is a SHAM

Totes kidding. Just caught up. Congrats again City, deserved.

And good win for Juve. I wanna watch the Atletico Barca match but I think I'm at work again :(

Left my house at 10:30 and got home at 01:01. Dat 14 hour day
 
Ah I see so avb already fucked that game up then. Possible no cl for Zenit or qualifiers again? How those seeds looking? I'm interested in our potential opponents to qualify.
Yeah since Russia has only two CL spots and we're in a three way title race, we can miss on CL if we finish third. Zenit and CSKA would both be seeded for the playoff if they had to play there but Lokomotiv would not.

Playoff round has 10 teams, 5 of which will be seeded.

5 teams that start in the playoff round have the following coefficients:

Arsenal Eng 112.949 .
FC Porto Por105.426
Bayer Leverkusen Ger 70.328
Napoli Ita 61.387
Athletic Bilbao Esp 54.456

Teams that start in the earlier rounds who could be seeded in the playoff round if they get there:

Zenit: 73.899
CSKA 66.899
Galatasaray 55.340

None of the other teams have any chance of being seeded in the playoff round.

Shit so as soon as you factor in the Russian team Bilbao won't be seeded anymore? Therefore someone of the above teams may draw Bilbao? I don't see Lille there either although all above teams should be able to dispose of them.

I really don't want to draw Bilbao.

Yes, that's right. You should root for the Russian team to be eliminated in the third qualifying round.

As for Lille, their coefficient is 45.300. If they make it through the third qualifying round then they will be unseeded in the playoff round.

Either that or the Russian team, preferably Zenit, can draw Bilbao. Anyone aside from us will do but if we draw them no Bilbao in the CL!
 
You'll more likely win the league. Where's the Lok vs CSKA being played? Also Zenit's last game at home or not?

CSKA is at home vs Loko. Zenit is playing away vs Kuban. It will be tough game, a bad matchup stylewise for us.

A draw for Loko is no better than a loss, so they'll go all out against CSKA and will probably get caught on the counter.

What happens if you lose and CSKA and Loko draw? You cl or not? I see that as you have level points with Lok in that case. Head to head or goal difference separate teams in Russia?

Everyone seemed pleased with the rumoured England team earlier, I guess people are just thinking about how bad it could have been since it seems pretty crap to me.

Only RB is Johnson, who is coming off a crap season and is injury prone
Curtis Davies should be in instead of Smalling, I'd even take Stones over him.
Lampard lol
Barry and Delph for Lampard and Milner
A Johnson over Ox. Both are pretty good but Johnson has just been a bit better
No need to take 4 strikers; harsh though it is, one of Welbeck or Lambert shouldn't have gone.

The RB and DM situations are the big issues, with Gerrard and Johnson the only players there.

Still standing by my prediction of Semi Finals for England though

We would be in over Loko. The first tiebreaker actually is the number of wins. We would have 18 and Loko 17.
