Yeah it's a good trophy to win, was ecstatic when we won it last season, would be great to retain it

Imagine if a top English club ever disrespected the oldest cup competition in the world to selfishly play in a foreign mid-season cup tournament, can't see that ever happening though.

No way, although if a club had a bullying fame seeker as manager they might just be pressurised enough to let it happen?

Yeah,thats a possibility. Maybe if they were strongly favoured by said organisation also?

Yeah maybe, but if they won the mid-season friendly tournament would the Premier League prevent them from displaying a badge on their kit advertising a much poorer competition?

TBF it would be such a ridiculous scenario the Premier league would probably bend over and allow pretty much anything

If Arsenal manage to finish second and win the FA Cup on top of our shiny community shield, you'd have to say it had been a good season despite our early season mishaps, no?

I'd say you landed on your feet for sure.

this second despite the wenger propaganda was not a genuine title push. you were never in the lead in the race and in fact you were way off and others have fallen away honestly.

2nd is good. its more money, better CL qualification status etc etc.

But don't make it a title challenge o r your team proved capable of such.

Thats the point. Good season obviously yes, great season no and not seeing you up on its own for success in the future.

Arsneal have a really really good set of second line forwards but giroud despite a good run isn't a great forward and welbeck is still the same guy utd sold for a season.

your midfield behind ozil, carzorla and sanchez needs work.. but ramsey is good and your defence needs soem work.

I'd expect arsenal to challenge not accept where they are at.


Its all well and good LFC fans enjoying last year greatly but winning nothing but the moment its over you have to say where do we go now?

 

[Page_Moss_Kopite]

you have to say where do we go now?

On an unbeaten run until the referee blows the whistle on the last game of the season, CL secured and the FA Cup back in the dusty old trophy cabinet.

No problem.

that would be nice but then what?

same issues that abound exist if we can acheive that somehow as if we do not. we must improve.

Of course not. They would just apply huge pressure for the club in order to boost a world cup bid

Sunderland 0 3 Palace

Reminds me of the Soul 2 Soul classic Back to life...back to reality

 

[UnitedinRed]

If Sunderland go down, thats another championship club that is bigger than the currently English champions.

Paul Merson looks like hes back on the drink. Looks very rough. Wonder how much he lost last night and how many teeth his wife has left.

Spurs are a joke. Always have been always will be.

And they've unleashed a week of smug sherwood on the world.
