Ronaldo trying to come close in the competition for worst player on pitch.

Won't happen anyway with or without those two. It's in Real's DNA.

I started watching Premier League about the season when Wenger took over Arsenal. To be honest I didn't fully appreciate his great work until after he won his last League title. It is such a weird feeling thinking that I am going to watch next season's football without him being Arsenal's...

I guess Mourinho wanted to motivated his players? They won't catch City but the top 4 race is wide open. Might be a smart move if they can consolidate their league position so that they will concentrate on Europe come February. Anyway, United have underachieve largely since Fergie left and...

Stupid errors at Arsenals defence as usual and one of the best goalkeeping performances I have seen. Should have at least one penalty but they still had to score one more with very limited time, so probably wouldnt change the outcome. Pogbas is a red no doubt. He overran the ball and showed...

Bad draw for Asian countries as expected under the new system. Only Japan have some realistic chance to go through. As for England, hard to imagine people would expect an easier group. Got one of the weaker sides from all the other three pots.

That depends on how much control he has over transfers. They had been signing aged players for so many years. Once the amount of investment dropped, not much more can be expected.

Right, so only two quality players inherited.

Real was a big failure to be fair. Sunderland not so much. Like United, after years of poor recruitment, they are exactly where they deserves and can only get worse without huge investment.

Exactly. Everything happened after Fergie’s reign says Fergie is a genious. No more than three players (De Gea, Mata, Kagawa) in that squad proved they are top 4 level after Fergie left.

Was very sleepy in a boring conference, just when I was about to fall from my chair, this thread waked me up. :ds:

Spurs achievement is great even still without a title. But it can be hard to keep their key players in the next two or three years unless they are taken over by some super rich like city or psg. If they can keep doing it this way and win the league or cl, it will be seen as a success for...

His good days at Everton were not that far away. Not unreasonable for the owners to expect similar things can happen in east London. Can still remember that many Everton fans here talked about how it was a good time for the club to move on when he left for united. More than four years passed and...

Surprised that so many here dont like this appointment. Not an exciting one I agree, but he’s only offered 6 months and would be a good choice to keep whu in the league which on current trend they will be relegated from. The only period suggested that hes a poor manager was his days in spain. He...

Agree that they should sell Sanchez, providing that they can sign someone with about equal quality or they can get a decent fee. His stats has been great but everytime I watched him, he seemed to be playing only for himself. He made runs only when he's interested. He didnt trust any of his...

Dont see how appointing another manager can be an attempt to take their quality to the next level, while keeping their long serving manager who has seldom underachieved is not. If the "next level " means finishing higher in the league, does that mean every league winning manager should be...

He is the best referee since I can remember. Everytime I saw him on the pitch, I believed it would be good game. Cant blame him for chasing money. But the games will certainly be worse without him.

His age means that he won't be staying for too long. Hopefully Arsenal already realized how difficult the potential transition would be after seeing United tried and failed to copy the success of City and Chelsea. Hope Wenger and the board can work out a succession/transition plan together...

Clattenburg to referee this. Good choice.

World ranking means too little.
