FC Disunited of Manchester will struggle again. Watching their continuing decline will be a pleasant distraction for supporters of all other clubs. Can't see Chelsea having another season as poor as this one. They might be a bit rudderless with a shortage of leaders on and off the pitch, and they'll need to keep their travelling supporters well away from trains and other forms of public transport, but it's hard to imagine them continuing to be quite the laughing stock they have been this season. Liverpool will finish 7th for the next 7 seasons. Couldn't give a flying **** about City, though I'd prefer it if they didn't win the league... Which they won't, because Spurs will nick it from under the noses of perennial bottlers Arsenal.
Man City will dominate English football for the next 10-15 years in my opinion. They have everything they need, although next season I don't think they'll win the PL - after that it's curtains folks. P.S. nice bullet point Stanley.
Bit harsh. Think managing two of the biggest clubs in the world is fairly challenging even of he inherited fantastic players and set up etc
They have the academy, the manager and the cash. If this was 2007, I would say yes, but I don't think you can be assured of multiple titles now. United have the financial muscle to challenge them once they sort the club out
As I've mentioned in another thread, I don't think throwing money at the transfer market is going to solve the 'big boys' woe's. Over 1 billion was spent last summer and look how that turned out. I reckon the current top 3 will be contenders for the top 4 next season. 'Pool should be pushing for top 4 when Klopp gets to build his own squad, as for Pep coming to £ity, I think he's in for a major wake up call when he realises he's not in a 1 or 2 team league.
I noticed the bullet point on my phone, thought about deleting it then decided I liked the alternative look.
Look like Leicester's title. They're a good side, and a lucky one too. They should have been 0-1 down and playing with ten men today, but instead they go 1-0 up. Looks like the rest of us are playing for 2nd place...
Spurs never had it in mind to win the league, this season; our top goal would have been to finish in the top 4. If we achieve that, I don't see how anyone can accuse of bottling something that we were never going to win, anyway. Leicester's season is a freak, primarily because Chelsea, United, £ity, and Arsenal have all been pants.
This basically translates as "we didn't want to win the league anyway, so ner.." There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at it's flood, leads on to fortune. Leicester took the tide. Spurs and Arsenal failed to do so.
I think a better analogy to use would be this. Leicester got caught up in a random twister, that lifted them from the bottom of the table and dropped them at the very top, scattering all the other teams to ensure that they couldn't challenge. Yes, I prefer my whirlwind analogy to the "tides of fortune" one.
Of course you do. Because your metaphor gives no credit for victory, and attaches no blame for failure.
