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

Coutinho gone, Kane and Hazard next. Blimey.
Not sure Kane will be off anytime soon, Real seem to be the obvious choice, but doubt they will go for both Hazard and Kane. Hazard for them probably easier than dealing with Spurs who are hard to deal with transfer wise.

Interesting Arsenal are linked with Evans again, not the worst signing tbf. I do find the hatred of him online odd, Pep also wants him, and Ferguson did not want to let him go.Jose a fan also, but heh if internet no marks think he is shite he must be shite.8-)

BARNES OUT
In Evans defence he's led his side to a lofty 19th place.

Can't believe how much Coutinho went for haha. City's transfer record is still 54m for KDB. But yes, ruining football.

The timing is really strange since Barca have the league wrapped up and he can’t play in Europe. Liverpool could use him for the rest of the season.

Signing players in January to bed them in for the following season is underrated though.

Not just saying this because we lost to a League Two club as well yesterday but feels like the FA cup is particularly meaningless for Championship sides. Realistically you are never going to win it and the rewards for getting into the Premier League are so big that even if a cup run has a tiny detrimental effect on your league form you are better off without it. The only exciting this that can happen is you draw a really big side (has to be top 6 really) and they will play a weakened team and beat you anyway.

I have to say, we were in L2 when we last made the third round and I was much less excited looking at the draw than usual. So many of the prem sides are clubs we’ve played regularly in our L1 days, or going back a bit further our championship days.

I mean I’d make an exception for Man City for obvious reasons. Everton I never want us to play again in a cup for the sake of bragging rights. Liverpool would have to be away or I’d lose my mind.

It’d have to be Chavs, United or Arsenal to really woo me. Obviously the pennies would be nice regardless.

We have done Chelsea so would not want them but any of the other top 6 would be fun or various reasons. The rest of the league, who really who cares? A tie against a reserve Bournemouth would be a lot less fun than Villa away in a league game.

Arsenal fans are good people, but sorry they were warned years ago that they are going nowhere with Wenger in charge, not nice for them, but they deserve the type of season they are having for not firing this washed up fraud in the last few years.

Recent experience has taught him that nobody gives two shits when you win the FA Cup and when you’re already in two cups it’s best to just get dumped out asap.

You're saying this as if they had the power to change the manager.

Still feel as though we missed our chance yesterday. Have to give Moyes credit though he did a perfect Mourinho impression in parking the bus and getting the 0-0 against a superior side.

Hope we lose the replay, don't want to go to Wigan. Be better if they have a long cup run as it might harm their promotion chances.

Will be having a mental breakdown which may find its way into this thread if Alexis joins United instead of City.

United (and Mourinho) turn attacking players into ****, their style of football makes the Fellainis, Ashley Youngs and Valencias of this world look good. He'd be stupid to go there.
