The football thread

[snowmanstevo]

I think Utd have rode there luck massively over the last 2 seasons. City have a new manager,the prem will be a big shock for him. Arsenal need a world class striker but are always top 4 chelski won't be as bad next year,but I still think it will take a while to get to the level they was a few years ago. If I was a Spurs fan,I'd be really really excited where my team was going.

Stevo , going back to the Spuds thing , I don't have the stats in front of me , and I don't know about Liverpools in comparison so can't comment , but if memory serves , whilst the group stages of Europa was going on , their form was well down immediately after their Europa games .

 

They took it seriously but we're having to rotate more than they would have liked .

 

I just feel that without it they would have finished top or at least a lot closer .

 

Leicester got lucky with injuries & suspensions , had no European distractions and virtually no domestic cup distraction either .

That won't happen again .

 

For the record I don't agree with referring to Europa as Micky mouse .

I wish West Ham were in the final

 

And I was actually disgusted with the way Bilic and co treated the competition last summer .

I keep hearing that Leicester got lucky with injuries but I've heard a few interviews with people who are connected to the club and they say that the conditioning staff there are second to none.

[snowmanstevo]

Don't believe the "they got lucky" hype Mufty. They have a small squad,but coped well..... Chelski last season didn't have many injuries so was they lucky

[beanz]

Injuries???Vardy had a cast on most of the season 

 

What really helped Leicester was what Nigel Pearson did for the last 9-10 games last season,Ranieri came in and was fully aware of it and instead of implying his "philosophy" or creating a "project" he worked with what he had!!! A true manager and for ever a legend!!

More silverware for the Emirates trophy cabinet as the ladies win the FA Cup. 

 

Well done ladies

Pity the men can't win anything though.

Two FA Cups in three years would disagree

So that's all for the 2015/16 season for you smaller teams.

How did you rate your clubs season.

Personally I'm giving my lot 8/10 regardless of Wednesday result. Some proper dodgy results coupled with some amazing ones. Roll on the Euros to watch our lads get battered

[newmarket]

8/10 for us Stevo , a bit of a disappointing finish to the season but Uncle Slaven has given us our Weat Ham back and compared with the last 5 years it's like we won the league .

 

And nice to see the Gunners finally came good when it mattered

I think your right,mate. Really impressive season for your lads..... Beat my lot 3x !!!!!

[dalthegooner]

I'd have to say 7.5 out of 10.

 

It's fantastic to beat Spurs again and you cant really grumble too much about finishing 2nd, but we should really have won the league this year.

[snowmanstevo]

About fair that,Dal. If there was a year you had an easier chance to win the league,it was this one. With so many of the big guns missfiring you had an excellent chance even with Leicester excellent form,if you'd of kept the pressure on them they may have folded ?

 

If only you would of offered sensible money for Suarez and not this £40,000,001 rubbish you'd be champions by now

[newmarket]

The England squad .

 

I'm very disappointed but not surprised tbh .

 Are you not embarrassed to say this?? A top four team from the the old top four get pipped by relegation candidates and only just finishes above a average europa team???.AWs reaction to being above the spuds just said to me all the reasons why you are shi.....top 4 and never 1st these days....he as lost the plot...you haven't been beaten by money like most years  , you been beaten by a manager that can manage and came second cause Muhammad Alli got lost his head!! I'd be crawling up my own, if I was an arsenal fan not celebrating  

[muftyboy]

The game is live on YouTube for people who don't have bt sport

[snowmanstevo]

YNWA ❤️❤️❤️

[muftyboy]

A game of 2 halves, and the difference was sevilla took there chances.

I just think it proved again that the standard of the premier league isn't that great at the moment.

It will again be Spanish domination in Europe this season.

[snowmanstevo]

YNWA..... You'll Never Walk Alone,but,as an ex hooligan,you'd know that,mate. Yep Wet Spam finished up there. The cups half full for our boys,mate.

That's a ploy to punch me in the face if ever I see one 

[snowmanstevo]

Lol no mate,it's all bants

[newmarket]

Didn't see the game but I read that Sevilla were as good in the second half as Liverpool were in the first .

 

Seville will probably win it again next season.

[newmarket]

Cmon Palace.

Don't start ......

[bobcross]

2 -0 to United .
