***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

Congrats? Thanks for proving the point though.

Yeah, that was part of the joke bro. It's true, but I guess every club's fans in the main are annoying.

Liverpool aren't as dislikable as they were under Benitez, when they'd play ugly football and still manage to win a lot in the CL. Klopp's teams are nice to watch.

 

[duffer]

Football is awful.

Got baked after work and started playing God of War. Completely forgot the match was on.

It occurred to me later in the day that you might have been being facetious. I'm mostly basing this off Twitter fans that I see pop up in my feed but I really don't think there's any English fanbase as bad as the Liverpool ones. Even the United people aren't as delusional as the Liverpool ones. I think City's English fanbase is one of the best around, at least on Twitter. Though some are dumb as **** calling for Sane to be dropped etc.

So Slippy G being lined up for Rangers job then. Guess he will loan a couple of kids off Klopp.

Slippy G

Yesssss

 

[cpr]

When it comes to denying Rodgers a title, Gerard has the experience.

Was going to say he was the outstanding candidate, but heh.

 

[fredfertang]

Haven't really bothered with the football much this season but fatt is making me watch it today - Stoke are bad

Haha so good.

What a game at the San Siro.

Happy days at The Palace. Even I have to concede that it would take a pretty extraordinary sequence of results to see us relegated now. The only downside is that someone's probably going to offer stupid money for Zaha over the summer. Maybe Chelsea, if Hazard buggers off. Tottenham would be a better fit if they can afford him. But either way, we'll need to reinforcements for next season. Obviously a decent forward would be nice as Benteke's a busted flush.

I was surprised to see Swansea back in trouble, as only a month or so ago they were doing very nicely. Regrettably Hughes may well have sorted Southampton out just in time to save them. The match between those two on 8th May will be massive. But Huddersfield and Brighton have such horrid run-ins that they may well be in real trouble come 13th May.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hodgson has done a brilliant job at Palace, knows what it takes down there as spent virtually his entire career in England fighting a relegation battle in the Prem and always stopped up. Would think Zaha will leave in the summer as one of the top sides will go for him and maybe Everton will be interested too as they will surely spunk another wedge this summer to try and reach the top table.

I think Zaha will stay. Has spoken before about how badly affected he was by the lack of playing time at United and I don’t think any top six club could guarantee him starts. His risk-taking style is better suited to being the best player in a middling team and he has a genuine connection to Palace. It’s pretty much the best chance they’ll ever have to hold on to someone that good long-term.

I know stats don't tell the whole story, but pretty sure I have read that the amount of goals and assists he is responsible for is not that high, which for a team that is built around him is a little concerning. He loses the ball a lot and at times his decision making is poor, he gets a pass at Palace for that, but not at a top six side.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Chris Coleman leaves Sunderland. Who would want to go there?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Our Scottish friend will be in a darkened room for a few days after this. Celtic thrashing Rangers again to seal the title and no doubt Arsenal will get thumped as Wenger should be playing a reserve side today.

 

[sledger]

Chambers and Mavro paired up at CB. Could get hairy.

Doubt that is true this season.

 

[duffer]

I'm expecting a spanking.
