The Colombian guy? Oh dear, that just seems like another Sanchez type buy. He's going to want big wages and I'm not sure he's the player you need. He's another with an undeserved reputation. This could be you continuing down the same path of buy 'names' rather than whats right.
No thank God! Daniel James from Swansea. Young lad, but supposed to be a real talent. I've not seen much of him but Chief on our board goes to the games and has been on about him before United were in for him. Having read reviews about him he seems like a good prospect. Thankfully, that is the way we should be going. Although we do need a balance of experience and raw talent we can develop. But experience shouldn't mean big star names necessarily. At most, I'd consider Kroos tbh but that's about it.
Genuinely this isnt a dig I used to think that with Arsenal and the CL under Arsene Was gutted for you when you lost to Barca in the final
Ok, so I’m seven sorts of w@nkered right now. The misses ain’t impressed and the kids are avoiding me. I will say this. Had you offered me 97 points at the beginning of this season, I’d have bitten your manky f#cking arm off. That is all
oh **** off you righteous prick, every club taps players up ffs. difference is you get well paid for yours
Not sure I agree with this. If anything city constantly winning put more pressure on the team not to slip up and 9/9 at the end of the season proved that this team have done great character.
Had a few so this may have already been said, but congratulations to Liverpool. Second and a CL final is a pretty good return for the season.
I think that one of the best achievements of Klopp was in decreasing the pressure on his players. Of course there was bound to be some pressure and our history has us crumbling very often under pressure. Klopp has managed to get his team playing without panic until the last game. I remember him saying that there is no pressure on our players as city were expected to win the title and that we were only chasing them. If we miss out so be it.
We looked a nervous wreck when we were leading the pack. We're only started to look calm again once it was back in Man City's hands
Exactly my point. Others here may not wish to acknowledge the lesser pressure on us but leaders are under more pressure not to be overtaken. When we are leading in future we will need to be as nerveless as City.
If Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was fit from the beginning of the season maybe, and maybe we should have earned at least two points more.
lads.... it's all done and was great. we have loads of good games and a few bad ones. we I think got our entertainment and then some.
it doesn't work like that dribs, the player ox might have replaced has more than earnt their position in team and may have contributed more to the team than ox could have. need to stop making out ox will be some kind of saviour, good player but no more important than everyone else. without divok, we wouldnt have been in a position where we was fighting for title last day, or sturridge etc.
it really doesn't matter. 97 points is 3rd highest total ever. just look to ourselves nobody else. if you need some form of confidence boost look at atletico in Spain. they eventually got there
Gutted but its now time to look forward to the next season with optimism (not forgetting our little match with Spurs). I feel that we will need to do a Leicester to win the title. Ok we are not exactly Leicester in actual size and following and expectations. But we will need others to have a bad season or at best an indifferent one. Especially City. Looking back on it the other 4 top clubs have been really under par, especially the mancs who dropped off really badly. That accentuated the performances of the top 2. If we can come back from 24 points adrift last season to challenge then why is it not possible for the others IF they get their act together. I am thinking of Chelsea as the most likely challengers to the top 2. It's been said before. It's the hope that kills you in the end.
anything can happen. if the prem turns into la liga it won't be a shock... why? Cos Utd and arsenal did it for years. serie a is dominated utterly by juve... nobody wants that. la liga is currently dominated by Barca but others do win titles. there's always someone in a dominant position
The problem is that it is City in that dominant position. I fear we could have our best period in premiership history being completely overshadowed by the dominance of an exceptional City side.
