Who knows, they were rubbish last year and took home two. Maybe next be this year, but who knows. He doesn’t go long without winning a pot.

None have been lifted by City yet, so if United are still in then they have a chance.

He's saying that Liverpool will win, or that Spurs will win, or that it will be a draw.
It's what he gets the big money for.

 

The two he took home(hotel suite)aren't the two his employers had in mind and want.

Someone hung is always better than nothing.

Unless it’s half a kick in the balls over no kick

 

Van Gaal can get you a cup. They gave Jose £300m and the football got worse.

Competition in Europe's biggest leagues is being "destroyed" by clubs who have "huge financial power", says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Frenchman Wenger pointed to examples in France, Germany, England and Spain.

Paris St-Germain are 11 points clear in Ligue 1, Bayern Munich have a 16-point advantage in the Bundesliga and Manchester City are 15 points ahead at the top of the Premier League.

Wenger said it was clear that "unpredictability has gone down".

He added: "When you look at the five big leagues in Europe, in December we already knew four champions.

"That means something is not right in our game. The huge financial power of some clubs is basically destroying the competition."

In Spain, Barcelona have an 11-point lead over Atletico Madrid. Defending champions Real Madrid - suffering a surprisingly difficult season - are 19 points behind Barca in fourth place.

The other league that usually figures in Europe's 'top five' is Italy - where Napoli are a point ahead of Juventus, title winners in the past six seasons.

Frenchman Wenger was speaking two days after transfer spending in the Premier League again reached record levels.

Clubs in England's top flight spent £150m on Wednesday - the closing day of the winter transfer window - taking their outlay for the month to £430m.

Following the close of the summer transfer window in September, Wenger said Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules - introduced to prevent so-called 'financial doping' - should be scrapped because clubs are "not respecting" them.

PSG more than doubled the world record transfer fee when they bought Neymar from Barcelona last summer, also signing Kylian Mbappe on loan in a deal that is expected to see him join for £165.7m at the end of the season.

Manchester City were accused of 'financial doping' by La Liga president Javier Tebas, who also said PSG were "laughing at the system" with their summer buys.

Day 4: Still missing

 

Bad football to win tow trophies. That’s good then!

 

Glad Klopp has his hands tied by FSG and isn’t spending big money.

 

He must be hiding with Markovic

 

Bad football is never good. It's why it's called "bad".

 

Bad winning football is bad?

 

Yup.

 

Okay.

I look forward to seeing you celebrate some brilliant losses

 

Where did I say losing was good?

 

I watch football to be entertained.

Whats the point in watching a team play boring football all season but winning a trophy at the end of it. You will have been bored and annoyed all year, but the trophy makes all that go away? The only positive of that is for the owners, being successful and earning money but not caring how those are both achieved.
