Re: BREXIT Premier League 17-18 Discussion Part 8

back to 15 points tomorrow when we play

same distance between Barca and Madrid.

by The Demon of Carthage Sun Mar 04, 2018 6:28 pm

But Madrid is third in the league, not second. Also, nobody said La Liga is the most competitive.

But when I see one team flying ahead of everybody else with 18 points in a league where competitiveness is supposed to be a trademark, I can't help but question the credibility of that claim.

Quote is more relevant than ever. But shocking that the Spurs manager is throwing shade at Wenger. Must be the only Spurs fan that wants Wenger gone loool

Eh, Wenger threw shade first. Poch is just throwing some back at him now that Arsenal look in their worst state for decades, will be trophyless this season (probably) and miss CL. What possessed Wenger to have the balls to throw shade at Poch I don't know, especially since Poch is one of the most respectful managers in the league, but it's good to see Poch give it back to him. Not like he's wrong, either.

There‘s no competitiveness left anywhere. Barcelona/Real Madrid, Bayern, City, Juventus, PSG will be the champions of each respective league for the next 3 years.

Wenger on Cech's apology tweet: "I think he deserves a lot of respect as it's his assessment of his own performance. He's a very intelligent guy and professional guy. He's saved us on other occasions. Today he cost us but as a manager you have to live with it."

Unbelievable rofl

he has lost it.

This has been the case for ages now, I been saying for last 3 seasons that there's no outstanding team in the whole of Europe and the level at the top sucks.

I'm genuinely not impressed by anybody, Madrid have won back to back not because they are dominant but because the competition sucks.

I say the same this year, I see no outstanding team at the top. When Bayern won under Heynckes it was obvious and Barca under Guardiola it was obvious or even Yanited under Fergie.

I haven't seen that level of quality for a long time now tbh.

Conte on Sky criticism: "I'm not so stupid to play open against City and lose 3-0 or 4-0. If I remember, Arsenal played vs them like that and you criticised them a lot because they conceded 3 goals in 30 mins. The pundits must use their heads when you speak about tactics" #CFC

That's a little harsh. Carlo's Madrid was head and shoulders the best team in Europe when they won the CL in 2014, and they maintained that godly level throughout the first half of the 2015 season setting a new European record of consecutive wins.

Enrique's treble year with Barcelona can also be added to the dominant European victories. I don't rate him as a manager...at all. But his side was almost unplayable that year even though they started playing at a horrible level.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:22 pm

That implies they have brains tbh, logical fallacy from Conte imo.

He's waiting for the sack

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:23 pm

I'll give you Carlo Madrid actually.

Disagree on Barca under Luis Enrique, they had a front 3 most of the world couldn't figure out but I didn't feel like they were miles above everyone.

by RealGunner Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:23 pm

He gets paid if he gets sacked lol

Top 4 is finished now. Chelsea out of it.

City
Liverpool
United
Tottenham

Chelsea
Arsenal

This is how it will end.

by Firenze Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:26 pm

Funny thing is, that's what the top 4 has looked like it would be for a while now, Chelsea have looked poor all season but kept getting results, I knew they would eventually drop out. Disastrous transfers from them, gonna need to invest heavily to get back into top 4 IMO. Sounds strange since they're reigning champs.

by ExtremistEnigma Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:28 pm

Should we be surprised though? This is every Chelsea season ever since the end of Mourinho's first spell.

Champions then LOL season.

by S Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:37 pm

They have been an irrelevant club im Europe for like 5 sessons now

Incredible regression when you think they were the only English club who used to consistently make the latter stages

HE SUCKS. Lukaku sucks. Lukaku probably overtakes him tomorrow too when he scores a hattrick against Palace.

firmino is and always will be a better player than lukaku. everything the man u team do is geared to getting lukaku on the end of everything. firmino has a far better all round game and firmino is not even the top scorer at liverpool and he still has better stats than lukaku.

Except Firmino's never had a better season than Lukaku in his life. MAYBE this year, because he isn't cut out for a top team. They're both bang average, but this is Lukaku's worst season in a long time and this is Firmino's best ever. Firmino has a lot to do to even be rated like Lolkaku is. One decent season won't change that.

inb3 but but they have different roles. Both starting CF for their team.

Salah's been your best player since pre-season, no idea what you're talking about. Remains the only reason you're relevant too. Gone in the summer and replaced with Tadic :bow:

by CBarca Sun Mar 04, 2018 8:28 pm

Bro you're like two points ahead of Spurs while losing to West Brom in the FA cup

sit down lmao

Out here celebrating the chance of coming 2nd and selling your best player Laughing
