Football Thread |OT17| Jordan Henderson for Ballon d'Or

But its Spurs' late season collapse.
Eh, I'll take being optimistic over preemptively accepting failure. If Arsenal can win matches with joke players like Gervinho, Ramsey and Fabianski playing then we can do the same.
At this time last season we were losing every week, showing no fight at all and not scoring goals. Now we are getting late goals and fighting right to the end, it's not the same.
It was this time last season when Arsenal had a funny turn, drawing with Norwich and losing to Wigan at home, losing to QPR and Fulham away. All those games are coming up. Not that I expect them to drop the same amount of points but Arsenal were way ahead of us at this stage last season yet we clawed it back and it still went down to the very last day. The same thing will happen this season, I guarantee it. None of the three teams are good enough to wrap it up before then and two of them still have to play Everton.

Thing is, it's okay to get it wrong from the start. It can happen, players you expected to perform don't, opposition players are playing really well, you've been tactically out thought. All reasonable and allowable.
Problem we've had, against Madrid, Chelsea twice and then last night is those 3 clowns in the dugout have sat that and done fuck all about it. We didnt change a thing ALL game.
Should've sent Nani our way last summer ... We could really use someone like him. Actually, we should've just signed Cuadrado.
Yep. Didn't make our first change until the eightieth minute. That's unacceptable. Hernandez in the 88th or something, Kagawa in the 92nd. Fucking awful awful awful decisions.
Should have got to an hour, realised we were doing fuck all in the middle of the park and made changes.
Should've sent Nani our way last summer ... We could really use someone like him. Actually, we should've just signed Cuadrado.
You can have Nani this summer if you want. please.
Isla was a really good signing on paper to be fair.

He's a very good player. Can put a shift in and tackle too.
Not top level like, but considerably better than anything we've got.
Mendes plz.

Giggs off straight after his backheel.
Rooney off straight after his spazz at the ref.
No fucking aboot.

Cleff lets not get crazy.
Epic fail of the season. I suppose we'll try to send him back to Udinese, somehow. I'd be willing to give him one more season though. He hardly played at all and was recovering from a nasty knee injury. I refuse to believe this is the player I admired at Udinese.
He's definitely second tier centre midfielder, but that's still handy as fuck. He isn't Schweini or Vidal, but he's not much worse.
I've decided I will focus all my muppetry on Moutinho this summer.
don't be a fergus, cleff
Zahallah is starting his pilgrimage
I don't want to listen to Phil Collins tracks during the window and find myself detecting parallels between MUFC's situation and that fucker.
Glad he's continued to play well. Pre-season is a meaningless lottery against dross.
Gallas and Dempsey will play. Vertonghen at LB. Naughton at RB. You'll see. AVB the Enigma.
Right now all our wingers are pure shite. Nani is most likely leave king during the summer too. I wouldn't be happy going into the new season with Zaha, Valencia and Young.
James > Moutinho
fuck you man, you and kharma can suck my arsehole
We should change our play so we're not primarily a wing based side.
DE GOD
RAF RIO VIDIC EVRA
CARRICK MOUTINHO
ZAHA KAGAWA ROONEY
RVP
I like it.

I really wouldn't mind if Evra was told to do one.
More complacent than Giggs.
More complacent than Giggs.
ZahALLAH's signature move is hurtling 15 to 20 yards inside, leaving the fullback perplexed, anyways.
Watching Coen bros The Ladykillers. Seems ok.
Oh yeah, so would I. But he isn't going to be told that, so I'm not even gonna bother taking him out of the formations.
Fabio coming back and improving like his sexy twin has would be swell.
United will always place an emphasis on quick, skilful wingers. Right now we don't have that. For that reason I'd like to see us look for that kind of player in the summer. Its too early for Zaha imo.
He'll score a hat trick on his Anfield debut, I know it.
Just be nice to have someone with a bit of unpredictability about them. Young and Valencia are so easy to read every time they get the ball.

Okay guys we've had a good moan lets start making fun of other teams again.
Never too early. He's 20, 21, not some 16 year old fresh faced youngster. If a bunch of players from the Championship with Southampton and Norwich can contend with the league after two promotions in two years, then Zaha can - especially when he cost 15m and he's being rated very highly.
Except RVP can't score and Kagawa can't do anything.
Your soul is burdened.
He will relieve you. You shall witness.
Fuck you. I have a naughty floral shirt coming tomorrow.
Arsenal - board are even shitter than ours
Aston Villa - could still be relegated
Chelsea - Benitez lol
Everton - reached their glass ceiling
Fulham - anonymous
Liverpool - lol
Man City - 12 points
Newcastle - dat 5th place finish counting for nothing
Norwich - who cares
QPR - going down you cunts
Reading - the most boring team in the world
Southampton - Schneiderlin's coming to us bro
Stoke - inbred
Sunderland - fascist
Swansea - welsh
Tottenham - bottlers
West Brom - even lower glass ceiling
West Ham - everyone's ugly
Wigan - thugs
If I thought of that then I' get really depressed at the state of the league.
We're shite and are still coasting our way to another league title.
I remember Isla being briefly linked with Liverpool when he was at Udinese, I would certainly like Liverpool to try and get him were Juventus to sell. Liverpool could really use a versatile player like him to cover the full-backs and what not.
It's funny, because between him and Asamoah, the latter was 'supposed' to be the flop by the end of the season. Many thought Asamoah was an unnecessary addition to our team.
Isla turned into a complete VAGINA after his injury.
Asamoah is beast of all beasts.
Shame that Isla's flopping. Have faith though, only a season. If we listened to Sviatoslav then Kagawa's already completely ruined his career.
Isla will devour all pussies around him when Conte switches back to 4-3-3
He'd be class, especially if Ben Arfa's on his way out.
Look at his goal against Wigan again.
Look at it.
Shinji will play against Stoke. Young is broken up, I read.
The Holy Sidefoot Brotherhood. Pledged to polarities of technique: the remarkably adroit, and the supremely clogging.
Fucking hell stop being such a negative nancy Cleff.
Why would we start any of our three wingers considering they've shown even less than Kagawa? Why would we not want to utilise Kagawa's trickery against slow ponderous defenders?
Come on, man. Don't be a moody judy
Nope, Valencia will.
I'd play Kagawa over our other wingers. We play our best football when he's on the pitch. actually trying to go through the middle against teams.
Where's Queiroz nowadays? I want him back.
Who says we're in for Remy?
but not for much longer. looks like he failed to qualify for WC14
Me too.
I would have him though to be honest, depending on what happens with Aubameyang.
