By FlutterPuffs Go To PostWhat do you expect.But then they do fuck all when being booed by their old fans
Southhampton players probably give a little extra in matches against Liverpool so they can angle their way to a transfer into your team.

Rickie Lambert was the best (or worst/saddest) Southampton → Liverpool move.
It was his childhood dream, too. Crushed.

He was drunk and crashed into a wall and killed someone.
Seems pretty straightforward.
By Scum Go To PostIt's disgusting, innit. The footballing Gods have been looking out for him for a long time now. 😒God gave Horse fantasy points in exchange for draws and injuries for United.
If Slaent was a boat I'd throw Horse off for being our albatross.
By Laboured Go To PostThink Adams might've just got Granada relegated.
I... think they already were, and no one, even him or the board, thought otherwise.
By inky Go To PostWell, Big Sam and Wenger are gonna put that final nail in the season's coffin.

it's sad that Liverpool will end up missing out on top 4. normally, I'd laugh at them, but even the narrow prospect of fucking over Mou and Pep in one season would be too good to be true. Would even be worth keeping Wenger around for another three seasons.

Consistently got Arsenal - fourth biggest wage budget and fourth biggest spenders - into fourth, third, second positions.
What a hero. Never failed.

Pele is driving himself insane with his Wenger obsession.
It can't be healthy to be this angry all the time.
Have to admit part of me is looking forward to Wenger's extension announcement. Pele's thousand posts might be entertaining.

Also Jardim guided Monaco into the CL semifinal with a team of fetuses.

Liverpool won't miss out on Top 4. No chance.
I might not have much faith in their team, but Klopp will find them a path to get there.

Jardim for me. Fair argument for Allegri in some ways.
Poch fucking up in Europe is a major blot on his copy book.

Clearly the court disagreed, judging by how he just won premier league in November.

Seriously though, if we miss out we'll have deserved it. Can't leave yourself short in so many positions and then moan about it when it fucks you over. Injuries have been unfortunate, but we've put ourselves in a position where they're disastrous.

Antonio Conte has today made a dig at Manchester United for our spending in the summer, lumping us in with Manchester City, and claiming that Chelsea are somehow similar to Spurs, Arsenal or Liverpool in the transfer market.
It’s important to understand it’s not always who spends more wins. Otherwise, in this league, this season the name of the team wasn’t Chelsea or Tottenham or Arsenal or Liverpool. You understand? This season isn’t the only season both Manchester clubs have spent a lot of money. Look at the past. [We want] to build, also, slowly slowly to become a real power.
Over the past 10 years, Manchester United have been the biggest spenders in the league during two summers. The most recent was the summer of the 2014 and the time before that was the summer of 2007.
In that same period of time, Chelsea have been the biggest spenders three times, in 2013-14, 2012-13 and 2011-12.
City have been the biggest spenders on six occasions, including the past two seasons on the trot.
In Conte’s first summer at Chelsea, he spent £120 million on players. They’re hardly paupers. Arsenal spent £90m, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool spent £68m. City spent £169m and United spent £149m, meaning Chelsea are far closer to us than they are Spurs and Liverpool, and closer to us than Arsenal.
It’s also worth noting that Conte hasn’t given a single minute of Premier League football to teenagers this season and products of their youth academy have barely had a look in. How can he argue they’re not buying their success when they’ve spent a fortune and don’t play any of the players who cost them nothing? Chelsea have won the FA Youth Cup in five of the last six seasons yet Conte doesn’t fancy any of their academy players.
Conte claims that Chelsea are building their team slowly, yet have spent just £29m less than United did this summer, and over £50m more than Spurs and Liverpool, teams who he likens Chelsea to.
Chelsea have played just 40 games this season, compared to the 46 of Arsenal, 49 of City and 55 of United. It will be interesting to see how he gets on next season, particularly if he thinks his club aren’t the sort to buy success.
By Laboured Go To PostJardim for me. Fair argument for Allegri in some ways.

Agreed. Also his teams petering out at the end of the season. They've got more Wenger in them then they'd like to admit.
By Francis Go To PostLiverpool won't miss out on Top 4. No chance.Not even Klopp can stop Lolerpool once we get going.
I might not have much faith in their team, but Klopp will find them a path to get there.
When Allegri wins the treble y'all gonna pretend you mentioned him, so I'm mentioning him right now ;P
Pls don't bookmark k thx.
Pls don't bookmark k thx.
Neither Pochettino nor Jardim are the best managers when they haven't won anything major. Brilliant for sure, but not the best.
Think Allegri is a very decent shout. Will confirm it if he wins the CL this year. Really evolved that Juve side year after year.

5th richest club in the world.
Havent been on the top 8 in europe for almost a decade now
2nd richest club in the league, reached 2nd place once merely because of Spurs capitulation last season.
What a hero

The article isn't so bad but damn, how sensitive can you be. Also I cringe whenever someone gives Mourinho credit for playing teenagers... when that teenager is Marcus Rashford.

:lol agreed
Think it's a bit rich of Conte though. The little horse strikes again.
Simeone is still the best manager in the world, and everyone else is competing for a distant second place. He's managed to reinvent his squad at least twice now, which is two times more than Mourinho has ever managed.
(I do place a lot of weight on how you perform in European football, which is why I haven't rated Wenger for years now)

Really just talking about just this season in the short term. Not saying they are overall the best managers around.
Also worth pointing out that none of the big trophies have been decided yet so it's projection really.
I would actually say:
Simeone
Allegri
are in a bit of a league of their own. If Conte does the league and FA Cup especially he'll push himself into there.
People like Jardim, Tuchel, Pochettino and Sarri still have to do the business. People like Guardiola, Ancelotti, Klopp and Mourinho need to prove themselves again. People like Zidane are curiously hard to work out. Football works in cycles and Allegri and Simeone are the only ones constantly pushing forward and having shit to prove for it.
Wonder what Blanc's next job will be.

Barca will finally win it again.
I *believe* Tottenham have only won one single game at Wembley this season.
I'm getting ready to call boogeyman shenanigans on that one, it would probably have been different had they gotten to play at WHL.
