    Welcome the proper Dons

    Does anyone think MK will one day drop the "Don" and lose any connection to Wimbledon altogether? Could Wimbledon drop the AFC bit and become Wimbledon FC again? (Providing the above happened)

    TV Money Long Term

    Long term the television money will go up. Sky are wholly reliant on the premier league tv rights to sell the bulk of their packages. Sky use to have a vast majority of matches. Now they don't, but pay more for the privilege. I can see Sky going bankrupt chasing the rights to these games.

    Jürgen Kop

    I agree to some extent. But I don't believe Rogers could've gotten us to the finals in either cup competition. I like almost everything about Klopp. The fact he blamed himself for the Europa final defeat speaks volumes about him as a person and a manager. I've got nothing but respect and...

    Jürgen Kop

    We had the exact same problem under Rogers of dealing with physical sides. This is why Rogers brought in Can and Benteke. It seems Klopp is learning the lessons Rogers did, but one wonders whether he can come up with better answers.

    Jose Mourinho to replace LVG as Man U manager?

    I don't know. Chelsea looked dead on their feet towards the end of last march. Mourinho parked the bus more than usual at the time. Mourinho has a good academy at his disposal. Against weaker opposition why not field some of them and drain their life force over the course of the season? I wish...

    Jose Mourinho to replace LVG as Man U manager?

    If there's going to be any problem for Mourinho at United it's going to be when he's won the league and wants to freshen up the squad. Mourinho ran the Chelsea players ragged when they won the title last year. So much so, they barely stumbled across the finishing line. I have the same criticism...

    Who will be the next to 'do a Leicster'?

    Middlesborough or Brighton. Brighton's hierarchy aren't afraid to think outside the box.

    Jose Mourinho to replace LVG as Man U manager?

    I think this is a misunderstood aspect of Mourinho. He left Porto to go to Chelsea to establish himself as an elite manager. He was undermined at Chelsea by Abramovich and promptly left to join Inter. He managed to squeeze a miracle treble out of an ageing team and left because there was no...

    Jose Mourinho to replace LVG as Man U manager?

    If United appoint Mourinho, then all that's left to say is congratulations on winning the premier league. oh and goodbye Mata.

    Liverpool vs Sevilla - Europa League Final - Basel - May 18th

    Klopp spent 58m in his last season there. Remind we where they finished? I'm writing off a system that has failed under two managers. Let's revisit this topic when I'm proved right at the end of next season, shall we.

    Liverpool vs Sevilla - Europa League Final - Basel - May 18th

    It's a cumulative effect. It's a bit like preparing for a marathon and treating it like a sprint. I guarantee you won't reach the finish line. Dortmund's spectacular collapse last season under Klopp. Our not so spectacular collapse with Rogers. Is it sheer coincidence? I think not.

    Liverpool vs Sevilla - Europa League Final - Basel - May 18th

    I'm disappointed though not surprised. We've been running on fumes for a while now. The second half showed us what happens when the motor stops completely. The sad thing is next season will be no different to this one. Except FSG will spend millions on getting us 6th place. I hope to christ FSG...

    West Ham splashing the cash already?

    Let's keep Benteke and play to his strengths. We liked him for a reason. Strong in the air, target man who would allow us to retain possession further up the field. He also knows where the net is. West Ham need a couple of players in order to cope with their european commitments next season. But...

    Jürgen Kop

    I don't think we can make the high intensity pressing football we play, work over the course of a season. Rogers' team played the exact same way and he had to cope with injuries and a sudden loss of form from key players. The same is happening with Klopp. We need to be sensible about when we...

    Christian Benteke

    I would also add Benteke was someone on my wish list last season. We needed a target man and we got one in him. The problem is the system he's playing within. Our attack needs to be dynamic at times. But it ain't. We play through the middle more or less. We need to create confusion in the...

    I got to say this is true to some extent.

    Conte: New Chelsea manager.

    If the Chelsea players felt safe ousting their title winning manager, then Conte has no chance. Abramovich's close proximity to the first team undermines the manager.

    Arsenal in crisis

    No there won't. The training facility at Colney and the Emirates stadium were his vision for the club. He help fund a majority of the cost through player sales. Many of whom were nothing until Wenger transformed them. In selling these players, the financial constraints he had to work under and...

    Promotion this year

    I like the way Brighton have gone about thrashing teams of late, to close the goal difference gap with Burnley and Middlesborough. It shows class and a determination to see the job through. From relegation candidates last seaon to automatic promotion hopefuls. Can anyone say Leicester?

    Liverpool v Leicester

    Watford and Newcastle have shown us how bad we are. Leicester will remove all doubt from those who believe otherwise.
