Premier League Thread 2015-16

Coloccini's red card has been successfully appealed.

 

In which case can I get a goal back on SA fantasy league?

 

Anfield reopened as police are satisfied no one left inside. Very strange. Did the guy just get bored and leave early or can't the staff at Anfield count. Guess no one will ever tell us.

 

If like me you think Abramovic is a massive ****, this is worth a read (and not paywalled)

Nothing we didn't know there but a good summary of his crooked path.

Most multi-billionaires will be ruthless and often take 'unethical' decisions. Abramovic is on another level however. I used to work with a Chelsea fan who almost tore himself apart reconciling the new owner's past with the success he bought.

 

Hopefully he'll get his come-uppance at some point. Perhaps another Russian Revolution in the offing? Though I doubt it, the way that nasty piece of work Putin controls everything over there ..............

 

Imagine if we discovered Katharina was a people trafficker and recruiter of drug mules Could take us 5 minutes to decide this was a good thing.

List of the 20 most injured EPL players since 2010 (separate injuries, not length of time). As expected, Arsenal feature very strongly. Luke Shaw (aged 20) has had 26 injuries!!

 

Good read, cheers for sharing.

Though it's not half as bad as Sacha Gaydamak bankrolling Pompey with money in-part acquired through illegal arms dealing

 

Benteke injured again.

 

Yes. According to Fran he ran into a wall called Victor Wanyama.

 

That indicates quite a big problem at Arsenal.
Eight out of 20 of those players are either still at Arsenal, or have played for them, earlier in their career, which may explain why they still suffer from regular injuries now.

 

Louis Van Gaal's hinted he may return to the transfer market in January to add more pace and creativity to his squad.
"I have said that we need creative, speedy players in attack. You have seen which players I have bought; I like that profile, but we need more,"

Why do I sense another month of unsettling?

 

They can unsettle me for £60M

 

Even with a tag that big, it could derail cup hopes. Hope we stand firm, I just get the impression they are coming back.

 

Pah.! You've got that wrong attitude hat on again.

It's all ifs, buts and maybes. Stop inticipating failure before anything remotely happens. Hey, maybe they won't come back. Maybe we won't sell. In fact, we'd almost certainly not sell. Mane has shown absolutely no desire to go anywhere.

 

We were unsettled before both Euro cup ties, its like a stick to beat us with. That's all I'm anticipating. Underhand tactics.

 

wrong thread.

 

Ridiculous club - 'the hundreds of millions we've already spent hasn't been good enough to beat a Championship club and make it past the fourth round of the league cup. How am I meant to work with a squad like this?? We need speedy players. If only we had someone like Javier Hernandez. I know the solution: the squad is incomplete, we'll spend hideously over the odds for yet more of the same, merely a few months after giving our bottomless chequebook around three months' exposure to an open market'.

 

What a stroke of luck for the FA that Mourinho's dugout ban won't be sorted out until after his global moneyspinning game against Klopp. Aparently will be a football game on too that day. Anyway, what a total coincidence.
