[Closed] A 2015/16 Football Thread

Maureen will make Manchester a toxic place for football. Let's hope Pep is up for the fight and that the FA clamp down on any pathetic behaviour like the eye poking when Maureen was at Madrid.

First battle will be the transfer window.

But before that......the Euros! Will Woy and England make it out of the group?

Depends how many games lovable racist Jamie Vardy misses through weddings.

So based on my previous post, my top eight predictions for the Prem next year. (I love reading back to the start of these threads seeing such ridiculous statements)

1. Man U
2. Man City
3. Arsenal
4. Leicester City
5. Spurs
6. Chelski
7. West Ham
8. Liverpool

Biggest flop of next season:

Zlatan

Just don't think he's right for Premier League football

1. Arsenal
2. Man City
3. Chelsea
4. Man Utd
5. Spurs
6. Liverpool/Saints
7. West Ham
8. Leicester City

Edit: Ninja edit as I think Saints/Liverpool are too close to call.

^^ saints for sixth or seventh again. Wham have New Stadium Syndrome to deal with

Leicester will struggle next season I reckon - other teams will take them seriously and they have the distraction of Big Cup.

Maureen will make Manchester a toxic place for football

he is a dick but pathetic name calling like this is pathetic.
Please not a football thread like this.

I'm not making any predictions before everyone flashes the cash (That includes you Arsene)

1. Arsenal

If they couldn't win this season when the other big teams fell short, then they won't next either.

If Spurs keep their squad together they will finish top 4 again IMO.

He certainly lacks your gravitas in dealing with folk...oh the irony

Did I miss something? Am I so out of the loop, I missed Maureen becoming a heinous slur?

I think it is because he is about to become united manager, it seemed fine to insult Jose at the start of the thread when he was managing chelski.

m I so out of the loop, I missed Maureen becoming a heinous slur?

Do you wish to argue it's a sign of respect and that was why they used it ?

I dont like Jose FWIW but at least say why and dont just use a females name to have a go at him , at least moaninho has some humor and truth in it unlike your post 😉

I suppose one could liken him pejoratively to a waiter.

Zlatan: all the press in France is that he's going to LA. As for no good in the EPL he made England look rather stupid the last time he played us. He's a quality player strong, great in the air, good finisher. He'd do very well in the EPL.

As for 2016/17 I can't see Arsenal, Man U, Man City or Chelsea winning the title without a material change. 3 clubs with new managers and squads in dissarray. Liverpool could be the dark horse with Klop further making his mark. If Leicester keep their players I could see another top 4 finish. Spurs have to man up and face the fact they should start as favourites, they'll change the mix a bit but their core is very good and will be fir a good few years

- can you not read?

I did try, but still didn't get it, so asked for clarification 🙁

I wonder what the odds are for Leicester outside of the top 10 ?

- don't take any pleasure from saying it but I think they might well do so

As I have said a few times, I am 100% sure this season was an anomaly.

Next season I will expect to see LFC around 7-8th.

The funny thing is Arsenal could have blown the league out the water, but they just Arsenaled it up. They only got second cause Spurs went peak Spurs. Hmm...maybe they are the new Arsenal?

We will not win the league again with Wenger in charge

It's not, it's just utterly shit patter, stop it.

Stop what? I didn't do anything.

[i] I am 100% sure this season was an anomaly.[/i]

Are you prepared to offer me 5000-1 on that? 😆

On that note, I imagine all odds will be slashed on the upcoming season. Even newly promoted teams will be seeing 500-1 rather than 5000-1.

1. Arsenal

Clearly those are sensible and logical statements. However, if this season has been anything to go by.....completely worthless! 😕

Jose is a man who invites strong opinions by the way he conducts himself. I wonder of he'll stick his fingers in Pep's eyes again ?

Amusing to read the first page predictions - the Luverpool comments were very astute

Loved this

Top of the league, we're Leicester City, we're top of the league.
That a was a nice '**** you' to all of those supposed pundit experts, we were rampant.

Will be upset if we don't take the title off Chelsea now.

Bravo!!

jambalaya makes a very good point here...maybe maureen will hide in a laundry basket again once his abrasive personality has had a brush with the FA

i hope united dont decide to employ a female doctor either...if its not maureen having a go at her then it'll be giggs giving her a good going over!!

Jose has become a parody of himself now - it used to be entertaining, now its just annoying narcissism.

He could redeem himself however - how about putting a badge saying "respect" on all the Man U players' shirts. This will/might remind them not to swear at the officials among other misdemeanors? It could catch on at other clubs.

Then they could ask the supporters to respect each other and the authorities too - following the players'/managers' example.

Long shot I know....

good club often let down by its classless fans and now they have a classless manager

I'll take that as a 'No' then! 😆

(Maybe 99.9%)

there must be come subject where what you type is not factually incorrect?

Why do so many footy fans have to do this childish playground level of taunting

Breaking News: Arsenal sign Granit Xhaka.

For once, the media were right!

and.....Rafa Benitez rocked: Arsenal make shock approach for £10m Newcastle star

ARSENAL have reportedly made an approach to sign Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

Did someone insert a firework up Le Profs rear end? 😯

Moussa Sissoko

Seems an odd choice. Especially as my mate's sister's dog's vet's etc etc said he was in for Kanté.

Sissoko has been linked for 2 years, rafa now officially at nufc according to sky with full control of football. I'd honestly be looking at loans for the big players with sell ons if needed. Sissoko was playing for the transfer though which doesn't sit well really

Where is the story about sissoko?

Where is the story about sissoko?

It's probably just the transfer bullshit generator starting early.

Yep probably, I copied and pasted that straight off the Sky Sports webs site, but the second half of that story has now disappeared!

You think it might not be true??? 😯

Its certainly going to be an interesting season next year.

1. Pep arrives
2. Some new Chelski stooge arrives
3. Moany arrives
4. Will LCFC prove to etc.etc.

This and others all go to back up a great observation I read once that the beauty of football is that the season comes to an end and then it starts all over again.

It's great!

With the Euros being this year I think the transfers, like Arsenal getting Xhaka, will all be done relatively early. As any hot prospects that play a blinder could see their prices rocket.

Obviously this can backfire, so fully expect Xhaka to have a stinker then break his ankle.

FTFY

that is unfair he will look awesome and then break his ankle

The latest Jose stumbling block....

"But it has emerged that Chelsea still own the 'Jose Mourinho' name as a trademark - meaning United may need to pay a six-figure sum for the rights"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36382637

WTF!

Wiltshire

You're an Arsenal fan, eh? 😉

clearly I meant Wilshire.....must have been my iPhone correcting me and sadly the old mince pies don't work very well anymore. 😥

Wilshire

Third time lucky? 😉

In other news, the latest Freakonomics podcast is titled The Longest Of Longshots, and is about Leicester City winning the prem.

When the uncelebrated Leicester City Football Club won the English Premier League, it wasn’t just the biggest underdog story in recent history. It was a sign of changing economics — and that other impossible, wonderful events might be lurking just around the corner.
