He's asking round to borrow a pair of shin pads

 

I like that....

Very good.


......

Now the emphasis all switches to 4th place trophy and the losers melee at the bottom.

Can Utd catch city.

Can newkie pull off the great Escape.

 

Bit slow page.... See Garlic's post in pub thread last night

 

Better to try than not to.

 

It was funnier today than yesterday so

 

Not if you were looking at two extra tickets for a Villa game this morning.

 

Burnley are 5000/1

 

bookies are morons really

 

think a lot of credit should go to the manager.

 

yes it probably should go to him

pearson found something there at the end but he also put them in the ****s equally after getting them up as champions the year before.

I looked back in 2015 and they had

Schmeichel
Wasilewski Huth Morgan Schlupp
Mahrez Drinkwater Cambiasso Albrighton
Ulloa Vardy

this is what they did in summer

Shinji Okazaki £8.25m
N'Golo Kanté £6.75m
Gökhan Inler £5.25m
Yohan Benalouane £5.25m
Robert Huth £3.15m (after loan)
Christian Fuchs free

So simpson only made really his place his own this year?
fuchs arrived.. Kante was added. Ulloa was only dropped for okazaki mid season

Spo Mr Raneiri didn't change much personnel wise but what he did change had a huge impact. Fuchs and kante have been HUGE additions. He's focused o ndefensive soundness i think and has had the two guys mahrez and vardy.

 

Managers continue their end of season #meltdown

On the back of saying the home fans are **** and he only stayed at the club because of a bank agreement, Wenger now says the protest again him was also **** and he expected worse

Van Gaal has said Man Utd are in transition and fans expecting to see any return for the £300m he's spunked up the wall have too high expectations. He also admits Man Utd are not the biggest club and he has lost the dressing room.

 

honesty seems the best policy if you want a nice pay off.

mourinho showed the way earlier in the season.

 

Theyll make shed loads of money as idiots will stick a £5 on a load of teams at the bottom and then one of the usual a will win the league next year and they'll pocket all those £5 that people put on for a laugh.

 

Do you think that the 5 or 6 mil paid out this year is balanced by all those sillyears fivers

 

It will be next year as you'll probably get 5 times as many people putting money on those long odds teams and assuming they don't come in again then they'll be quids in.

Wouldn't feel sorry for the bookies, I'm sure they made more money from Chelsea/city/united bets to win the league than they are paying out on Leicester winning.

 

exactly, i don't get it when the bookies say how much they've had to pay out on leicester winning. The amount of money they would have made if one of the favourites came in would blow away the payouts they have on leicester winning. It's when the favourites win and everyones been backing the favourites, that's when they lose...

 

Yes that's totally true. They must all pull in 20/30mil per club in bets in the big boys so paying out on Leicester is laughing I guess.

 

I just want to point out a stat from the prem.

Leicester have scored 20 goals from set pieces this year in the prem
Spurs have 22...

LFC have only a couple.

in other words thats a third of thier goals.

so the next time you see Fuchs and drinkwater and mahrez take set piece just think about milner and coutinho and the rest failing to get it past the near post.

 

We've scored 0
