*Official* English Football Season 2015-16

[sledger]

Arshavin was a good January signing. He was good for that January at least.

 

[social]

Ha ha

I told you guys years ago that I worked for the family and that they were fickle

Big boys have stepped in, punted Pellegrini and hired Pedro

What a joke

Hoping this isn't some sort of racial jibe.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Who is Pedro?

Hiring the best manager in the world when he becomes available is far from a joke. They couldn't have made a better move if they tried. Pellegrini has been great but has failed to take the side to another level, they're still inconsistent and glaringly awful in defence. They're no better or worse than what they were under Mancini. Pep will transform this team, rid the dead weight and change the game.

 

[Spikey]

lol, Redknapp on Pep: 'Yaya Toure was huge for him at Barcelona'
Le Tissier: 'he sold him'

absolute spanner

Yaya's agent also said like 3 weeks ago that if Pep joins, Yaya will want to go. so it seems an even weirder thing to mention (unless the whole discussion was based off the comments made by his agent)

It's not weird, Redknapp's just a ****ing idiot.

Yeah, this. And it's as much how City have done it as what they've actually done. Despite already having a top class team with a top class manager, they have identified someone even better who can take them to another level, have acted on it decisively and have made it happen. Compare that to how my lot are run these days and it's an object lesson in acting like a "big" club.

 

[GIMH]

Giving Pellegrini the season is a lot more dignified than how, say, Chelsea would go about it too.

They'd let him land four trophies and then tell him during the party to celebrate the fourth that he was on his bike

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah I'd be amazed if he hangs on to Toure. History aside even, he's exactly the type of player he normally turfs out.

 

[Furball]

Yeah not only that but the Toure that's at City is a vastly different player to the one Pep had at Barcelona.

I'll be intrigued to see what Tiago does in the close season, reckon Barcelona would be insane to not try and get him back but at the same time reckon Guardiola might want to take him to England.

Exciting times to be a City fan anyway, he could easily inherit a squad that will be champions yet you have to think that there's loads of room for improvement.

I hate Arshavin.

 

[Cabinet96]

Think it's basically confirmed Thiago isn't leaving Bayern.

 

[cpr]

Officially on the 'Pep to Fail' bandwagon now. Can bury himself with Klopp in the 'couldn't cut it in the Prem' category of overrated managers




Given how much I dislike Simeone and Mourinho, can we wrestle Blanc from PSG please

 

[Nate]

What formation do Leicester normally go with? Standard 4-4-2?

 

[The Sean]

Two goals - the second an absolute team blinder - from United in the first half of a League game at Old Trafford. What sorcery is this?

 

[Nate]

Vardy!

 

[Ikki]

These jammy ****s.

 

[Nate]

Garbage defending though. If you can't be bothered getting to the first ball, then you deserve all you get imo.

 

[Ikki]

Moreno, Mignolet, Can, Lallana.....we got a team full of boneheads. What a shambles.

 

[Furball]

Come on to **** Arsenal.
