Football The 2017/2018 Season Thread

Dubravka's been excellent from what I've seen of him. I think it was his first match since signing (I forget who you were playing - United maybe) but he put in a fantastic performance.

 

[Billargh]

Yeah Dubravka has been incredible since we got him, the Manchester United game was one hell of a debut. We now understand why Rafa was so keen on a new keeper, our back line is so much more solid and it's nice to have a GK who's calm with the ball at his feet. We sure as fuck better sign him.

 

[Moriath]

Not researched to the validity

 

[caLLous]

What a fucking match this is at Wembley.

It's lucky Liverpool are up against Brighton because Chelsea are absolutely breathing down their ne... oh, no, they're not.

 

[Billargh]

We love smashing people on the last day of the season!

Allardyce expected to be gone within the next 24 hours. This is good... But again we look to be linked with Marco Silva. I'm sure he is probably very similar to Martinez, but surely with the money we supposedly have we should be trying a little bit harder to get someone with more experience.

Now that Tuchel has gone to PSG, Wenger may like to stay in England. He may have gone stale at Arsenal sure, but Everton could do with some of that experience he has and i'm sure he would like to bring through the youth. Those Allardyce sent out on loan could have some nice experience now at least to give that push.

I had heard we might also try to bring Arteta back, he has a lot of time for Everton and has learned from two of the best English clubs in coaching so he could be something of interest. He may well try to stick it at Arsenal though...

Joe Hart & Jack Wilshere left out of England's World Cup squad

Good choice. Both rather over rated imo. Especially wilshire

Sam Allardyce: Everton manager leaves club after six months in charge

Thanks for everything! Hoping we can aim a bit higher on the next manager though.

England World Cup squad: Trent Alexander-Arnold named by Gareth Southgate

Only thing i think is welbeck and sterling has had a good season but whenever he puts on an england shirt he doesnt seem to know whatto dowith the ball at the end of a run.

I hope trent arnold gets a run out as well. Not just making up the numbers.

This is about the first time the england manager hasnt gone with the usual names. Nice to see.

That's basically how he is all the time. Sure his overall game has improved under Pep but I've lost count of the number of times he's fluffed his lines in front of goal.

 

[Embattle]

Just like Walcott so far.

No one posted this so just for completness.

I see stokes manager has left.

And Mclaren is now qpr manager. Cant understand how he keeps getting work tbh. Never rated him much

 

[Embattle]

MU a bit lucky on some decisions, Conte doing his usual of not making changes early enough.

 

[Gray]

Unai Emery set to be appointed new Arsenal manager replacing Arsene Wenger

Wonder what will become of Arteta, and Wenger in fact. Unless he wants to hold out for if/when Southgate fails, or even any other international??

Either of those two could have been good for Everton possibly, but it seems increasingly likely in the next 24-48 hours we'll be announcing Silva...

 

[Moriath]

Arteta has no experience being the man n charge and would be a big unknown for everton no?

Why does this exist, what is missing from the rules/chain of command/morality/referreing credibility, for players to presume they can use this without any real consequence and not have supporters boo them off the pitch.

He was sent off and will subsequently be banned...

Also he's a known bellend who elbowed someone in the head a couple of seasons ago as retribution for something the other guy did a few minutes previously.

American league. But footballers are all into games man ship. Trying to get others sent off if theres a chance. Its the competativeness that is bred into them without the gentlemans etiquette that their used to be of fair play.

 

[caLLous]

Emery was asked about Mesut Ozil - He said: "He's one of the biggest talents here and I want talented players here."

Asked about Jack Wilshere's involvement next year, Emery said: "I don't want to talk individually about the players."

 

[Moriath]

Wilsheres a championship player at best tbh.

Redknapps new girl is a serious hottie....Louise oktb.

 

[caLLous]

Well done Fulham! Right, I think that concludes all of the important football for the day.

 

[caLLous]

After last night's result Tottenham are now guaranteed to be in Pot 2 for next season's CL. So, every cloud...

 

[Embattle]

Well I guess it might balance out the negative performances you are bound to get by moving stadiums again

Nice bloke, I do think he is in danger of losing his job if he does not produce some silverware this season coming.

I do like him, I remember the press conference after the 2013 final giving me a first taste of his personality -
