Hey spidye, was Klinsmann before or after Magath?

Edit:
He was after Magath of course. So Ancelotti is clearly not our worst coach since Magath.

there are none in that position. dortmund still needs time to develop some talents
Jeremy Toljan? Can't Kimmich play right-back?

Bayern will probably just buy Passlack for a stupidly low price.

Bayern are probably the most meh team to watch that's top of the best leagues right now.
Still getting those wins and are going to destroy Arsenal though.

I think it's one of those cheap knockoff Buddha statues you can buy at 1€ stores.

still blows my mind that we thought this was a good idea.

as long as ancelotti is our coach he will try to play old dudes and don't bother with developing young talents. he just wants to win the cl. screw long term plans

kimmich was the best newcomer last season and played eexceptional well in the beginning of this season and then suddenly got dropped because of some stupid reason god knows and supposedly an injured vidal is more worth to ancelotti than an in form kimmich.


I have serious doubts about our long term plans if there are any.

Mad, do you like them and Brady?
I like David Gold.
They're both supporters but I buy Gold as a fan a lot more. I get the feeling if he weren't around Sullivan and Brady would completely sterilise this club. For all the Thames Ironworks F.C. iconography, moving into that plastic washing machine in the middle of a completely sterile area, as our owners flaunt their personal Tory peer around like a mail-order bride and chuck money at her rancid clustercunt of a party, doesn't half make it hard to keep up the pretence that we're still a club for the working class.
I can't hate Gold & Sullivan though; for taking us from where we were when they bought us to where we are now. They've shown faith in our manager when I imagine some other clubs would've chucked him and handled the Payet saga very well. It feels like there's a constant open dialogue between Slaven and the board and under them it does feel like the sky's the limit for us. Also, the stadium situation has already improved and will get better.

Ancelotti is good. He just isn't as flashy as Pep in terms of tactics, which I think is good but I guess most Bayern fans were used to Pep's dominance football. I prefer to win 1-0 and get to the CL finale than win 5-0 against Bremen and losing 1-5 against anyone in the CL semifinals.

Kimmich probably is going to be our full time RB from next season on. Don't know if it's a good call (for him), but he's our best available option.
 
At the moment it certainly looks like it will be Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United in the top four and unless Chelsea fuck up big time they will be walking the top spot, with their upcoming games messing up doesn't look remotely possible.

Liverpool look like they have burnt out and Arsenal look like Arsenal but City, Tottenham and United all look to be finding their groove which means they are probably the team that will suffer, however missing out on the top four is probably the best thing that could happen to Arsenal.

Liking the switch of play style by Conte, even though their displays were solid they weren't exactly playing great football, after that game at the weekend the type of football looked vastly improved and far more exciting to watch, want to see more of that. It has been a while since we have had multiple teams in the Prem playing technically astute attractive football. Things are looking up.

Conte has done marvels with that defense, really impressive. I had them finishing 6th at the start of the season because I did not think Chelsea did enough to upgrade their defense. Also, playing with Kante and Matic is the equivalent of playing with a 12th man. Depending on how Europa league shakes out, United might fall short of the Top4. Those Thursday games really tax the squad.

Mou is going to have to rely on squad players, he's been able to largely go through the season so far using really only 14-15 players but with Europa returning he has no choice.

Yeah I can't stand Brady though. Seems way up herself.

We shall see. I do not have much faith in Mou playing a large squad. He has not really done that in the past and likes to play with a consistent 11. I am mostly worried about our attacking players getting worn down. I am hoping that Martial hits a rich vein of form soon so we don't have to be so reliant on Ibrahimovic to score.

Might not be too bad this month as it's Thurs, sun, weds, sun.

As opposed the the usual Thurs, Sat, Thurs, Sat.


Manchester United have announced they will freeze season and match ticket prices for a sixth successive year for the 2017/18 campaign.

There will also be additional reductions for young season ticket holders.

The seventh freeze in eight years will see season ticket prices start from £532 for adults, with a variety of concessionary tickets available.

Along with the price freeze and reductions on ticket prices, supporters will benefit from the removal of booking fees on all products from next season

There will also be a 25 per cent reduction applied to EFL Cup home match tickets next season, in addition to the 25 per cent discount already applied to Europa League games.

Whoa, Lahm!

Adu's is a sad tale. I saw him at the 2007 U20 World Cup and he had talent. It sucks that the MLS and, I guess, his family, tried to cash in on him so young.

Extra time won't help them with their game against Swansea, though at least they've got till Sunday lunchtime to recover a bit more.

I agree with you!

When Carlo won it with Madrid, they playes similar shit football like we do right now.

Carlos first big test will be the games against Arsenal. If his pragmatic style of football helps us, well... then I take it.

I guess Jupps incredible attack-driven yet defensively solid football was the best one we ever had.

Cerezo is saying something that he can't be sure about because Griezmann has a release clause. If someone shows the cheque with the money of the release clause, he can't control what the player will do or not.

I truly believe that if Man United finishes top 4, Griezmann will go there. Him giving an interview last November saying the wants to play with Pogba at a club level and also saying he always liked United while growing up... There are too many hints about this to be dismissed unless Mourinho doesn't like him as a player. And he also pouts like Martial, so he will settle in nicely within the team.

MPs pass motion of 'no confidence' in FA
A motion of "no confidence" in the Football Association has been passed by MPs debating the organisation's ability to reform itself.

While the motion is largely symbolic, MPs have warned legislation will be brought in if changes are not made.

Sports Minister Tracey Crouch has said the FA could lose £30m-£40m of public funding if it does not modernise.

Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) Select Committee chairman Damian Collins said: "No change is no option."

Liverpool will not accept any press accreditations from anyone from The Sun now.

Actually surprised they've only just done it.

Won't be allowed to go to games or interview players or staff.

Sun are going to have a ball trashing Liverpool if they lose this weekend.
