***Official*** English Football Season 2018-19

[Andy1993]

Fellaini has passed a medical and on way to China....and Willian subject of a bid from PSG

 

[sledger]

Shame for Man Utd imo. Bloke is a very useful player.

Great from an Arsenal POV though. An absolute nemesis.

 

[andmark]

Given the United fans want an aesthetic style of football, it's a useful move inasmuch as United managers won't have the temptation to lump Fellaini forward. The Chinese club will be getting a useful player and no doubt he'll be paid well. It's a good move for all involved except for when United are a goal down in the last few minutes of a match and would prefer that option.

 

[Uppercut]

We're only getting rid of him for symbolic reasons. I can see the benefit but would still prefer to keep him around.

 

[duffer]

I've only seen Denis Suarez play a couple of times and the only thing that stood out about him was his handsomeness.

Anyone know what he brings to us as a footballer?

 

[sledger]

Good dribbler.

 

[Cow]

The liverpool choke will be glorious.

 

[andruid]

Leverkusen's in the early 2000s was the funniest one. Had a 5 point lead with 3 games left and managed to choke it away. Also lost the cup final and the champions league final all in the space of like 2 weeks.

And then the Leverkusen captain,one Michael Ballack led Germany to choking in the World Cup final. IIRC

The liverpool choke will be glorious.

If it happens at all.

Ballack was suspended for the final tbf.

Even speaking in neutral terms, I'm not sure I see why it'd be good for Liverpool to choke and City to win the league. Like I don't see the fun in a team which won the league last season, with a dubious financial fair play record, winning back-to-back leagues. Surely for a better league, it'd be best if there was a degree of competitiveness.

All true but Liverpool's fans are Liverpool fans and therefore any time they win anything it's an apocalyptic disaster.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'd like to see Liverpool win because it's the outcome which would make the most number of people really annoyed.

Martial signs contract extension at united until 2024

 

[Tom Halsey]

I'd like to see Liverpool win because it's the outcome which would make the most number of people really annoyed.

I think the opposite is also true. Whilst Liverpool winning the title would really annoy a lot of people, including me, it will also actively please a lot of people (more so than if City win it anyway). Which I think probably will magnify the annoyance whenever it eventually happens.

 

[sledger]

Liverpool winning would not annoy me especially. The schadenfreude of them ****ing it up (which I fully believe they will) is massively appealing though.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah they’d be crying into their YNWA scarves for months. OS has made a dreadful miscalculation if he’s wanting a Liverpool win for misanthropic reasons.

 

[sledger]

The Gerrard slip was one of the greatest moments of all time. I still get a kick out of thinking about that.

 

[cpr]

I mean, even I can't put it at anything lower than a par with John Terrys slip...

 

[andmark]

Yeah, I love Chelsea fans bringing Gerrard's slip up because of the obvious response.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah but Terry's slip benefitted United, so nobody can really enjoy it that much.
