Football The 2015/2016 Season Thread

Indeed, I would love it even more if Man City won the Champions league now.

And Lollerpool win Europa whilst Man U get fourth.

 

[caLLous]

Optimistic on both counts. I think City will lose tomorrow but win against Arsenal (let's face it, they really have to as United will only be a point behind if they win their game in hand).

 

[Scouse]

Optimistic on both counts.

Leicester just won the premier league

 

[caLLous]

Really? I hadn't heard anything about that.

Why? That give Guardiola a free pass to next year's CL. I'd prefer it if they lost and end up 5th.

 

[Embattle]

Firstly they are an English team which I always support, secondly I like the idea of him failing with Bay and Pel doing it with City.

 

[Lethul]

I fucking love watching pep lose!
Hopefully Bayern will go back to playing direct heavy metal fotball again instead of this. I reckon most German Bayern fans are happy to see him go at the end of the season.

Saw a thing on facebook:

Mark Schwarzer hasbecome the first player to win two PL titles in a row for two different teams without playing in a single game

Isnt there a minimum required number of games/minutes to get the medal or does whole squad get one?

 

[caLLous]

Both Chelsea and Spurs charged with "failing to control their players" (fully expected - apparently Fabregas was hitting people in the balls in the tunnel afterwards and that's why it all kicked off) and Dembele charged with violent conduct (expected) where a 3-match ban is insufficient (kind of expected). Other than that I think we got off lightly. :\

Chelsea and Tottenham: Football Association charges clubs after fiery draw

thought there were a maximum number of medals given out. So if you have less than that in your 1st team squad i guess play time doesnt apply

although i always thought u had to play a certain number of times / minutes to get a medal

edit :

Jack Rodwell collected a Premier League winner's medal despite starting just one game for Manchester City this season. League rules state that a player must make five appearances to qualify for a medal, the total having been lowered from 10 ahead of the 2012/13 season.

googled that

 

[soze]

Your club can buy you a medal though if I remember right? Man City were giving them to players who had no appearances and only sat on the bench once. I do not know if you go down as a title winner in the record books or you just get a medal.

 

[Embattle]

Kevin always looks like he is ready to explode.

 

[Raven]

Ramos has nailed the cycle helmet haircut.

 

[Embattle]

MC are just so deep.

 

[soze]

Sun reporting that Dembele could be getting a 10 game ban as he is being charged with the same thing as Suarez. Is anywhere sensible reporting this?

 

[Embattle]

I read they are looking at giving more than the standard 3 games.

MC wasting the few chances they have.

 

[Embattle]

Just a disappointing display from MC.

 

[Shagrat]

What a turgid lifeless display that was by Man City.

 

[caLLous]

Sun reporting that Dembele could be getting a 10 game ban as he is being charged with the same thing as Suarez. Is anywhere sensible reporting this?

Nope, just The Sun. The consensus is that it will be longer than a standard 3-match violent conduct ban (because that's what they said in the announcement), maybe 5 but it's his first offense and Suarez had already established himself as a dirty fucker by the time he got that 10-match ban.

 

[Raven]

Sun bollocks but regardless its a bit of a blow, he has been outstanding this season.

Doesnt excuse trying to poke your fingers in peeps eyes even if it is costa

 

[Lethul]

Get in!!!

 

[Scouse]

Get in!!!

Soz m8. Sevilla have it

Evidence: Lallana & Sturridge both had Frank Bruno's eyes against Tyson substituted for their own when asked about the finalists.

Hopefully our own players will be proved wrong

Is that your first thought after a semi win?

Btw Villareal is placed higher than Sevilla in spain so its far from decided.

Win or lose im ecstatic for another final!

 

[Raven]

I see no reason why Liverpool wont go on and win it.
