Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

..........Oh dear

Leicester face Sevilla.................that's quite......severe

 

Maybe Arsenal will get it right for once? Probably the best time in a while to play them, although they're still a very good side. Fancy PSG to upset Barca too.

 

That's hilarious. To be fair finishing 2nd would have got them Barca so not massively different. Would have been funnier if psg had got piss easy draw though

 

Did you hear Maureen in the after match about Micky? "I got him playing the way I wanted in training and so I brought him in". ****ing ****er. He brought him in because of massive pressure from fans and pundits alike.

 

I'm predicting they'll throw the tie away quickly, then start to look like they might be good enough again but just too late for it to matter

 

is first leg at home or away.

I would predict a humbling 4-0 loss away and then a home triumph at 2-1 or something to please the masses

Its par for course

 

Quality player when he is focused. Not getting involved in bust ups and not showing his nasty side and instead getting his head down and easily the best striker in the league at this time.

 

Was looking at this and just thinking..... meh... QF is when this comp comes alive.

City v monaco. pah. who cares. i know arsenal got done by that lot but they aint at the top table
Real v napoli is ok but...

meh... just doesn't feel really good yet. as people have said only psg v barca as anything really about it. the other games will be interesting and could produce an upset maybe but we will see.

 

city need to be careful. Monaco looks impressive especially Ex-Chelsea Falcao

 

Midweek fixtures coming up, but its next weekend that's far more interesting fixture wise

Saturday 17 Dec

Palace v Chelsea
WBA v Man U

Sunday 18 Dec
Man City v Arsenal

Monday 19 Dec
Everton v Liverpool



Pretty tasty.............................

 

Contrast there for sure

game 1. can't see cheslea losing. palace have not the defensive players in midfield
game 2: could be a snorefest.
game 3: anyone could occur. must watch for comedy value alone never mind the skills on show
game 4: its a lottery. pick an everton player to get sent off and see if you win.

 

If true Ayre needs his arse kicking.

The crazy world of football contract clauses
According to files leaked in The Sunday Times footballer Mario Balotelli was rewarded by Liverpool with a million pounds for not spitting during a season.

Just shows how the premiership is a now a bubble and completely out of touch with the real world. Clubs,directors, managers and players.

 

nah total bollox. he was rewarded for good discipline which is not limited to spitting.

 

And it's effectively a million pound fine for bad behaviour, just cannot be written in the contract in those terms since it would be against rules and the PFA would challenge it

 

Its a bonus not a fine so i presume a good behaviour bonus just proves once again how they knew it was a stupid buy and did it anyway

 

So all players get this then?

 

No, because the other players don't need to be threatened with million pound fines

 

So they just get paid less anyway then?

 

yes the idiots.
