Big game this weekend. Absolutely need the 3 points against the raisins. If we win, I expect mourinho to set us up to try and beat United at home and try and draw arsenal away knowing that an arsenal win there is probably the only way we could lose the title. City are in shambles and arsenal are playing very well
Yeah definitely didn't deserve the win but whatever. Would rather see Solanke or Izzy as opposed to Drogba.
Yeah meant if we're locked in with playing a striker. Cesc and Matic eligible for Arsenal and Man U with no yellows.
10 yellows needed to be picked up by this past game to qualify for the 2 match ban. They can both get a yellow in the next match and will not be suspended.
News to me. I need to stop even trying to learn all the different rules for bookings in all the various competitions. It's a fools errand and a waste of brain space.
big game saturday. I hope the team is ready because united have a lot of momentum and we simply have not played well since probably the league cup final. Maybe i am missing a game or 2 but a lot of underwhelming performances of late.
I am in tampa and have family in NY so if they play in either city I will go. If not, I will have to see just how much it will cost. Not exactly like these are competitive games
It's Chelsea in the states, unless I can fly to London (probably 2 years away) its my best chance in person, but I am also not dropping 2 g's to do it to watch our youth squad get 75% of the playing time either.
Where in the US are you? They have roundtrip flights ft lauderdale to london for like 500 dollars. You could get a ticket for roughly 100 to an average game, stay in a cheap hotel and have a fun long weekend all in for roughly a thousand dollars if you do it right I was gonna go to the champions league final in Germany if we made it. Better deal to travel to non-England europe right now because the euro is in the toilet
My wife has to go back to teaching full time next school year (not our decision the school is making her), so I told her as a reward we would take a trip to London over her fall break. Only thing is now I have to manage the international break next season as her break falls end of September/early October.
Forgot to watch this thread when the board came back up. Hi guys. My Fabregas jersey came from Thailand the Saturday before his goal against QPR so basically it's the luckiest jersey on the planet.
You guys really shouldn't need any help. 4 up on liverpool should be enough for 4th. Just need to figure out how to bring in a new coach and inject some youth into the squad within FFP
With how you guys are playing I don't thjnk 4th is a lock. You clearly have the second best team in the premier league but it just looks like they have given up on the coach. Key players like toure know they are on the way out and might not be giving 100%. You should be top 4 with ease but I don't see it as a lock
Certainly no lock but remaining fixtures: West Ham, Aston Villa, at Spurs, QPR, at Swansea, Southampton. We SHOULD get enough points to be 3rd or 4th but we also shouldn't be in this spot right now. Like you said so many guys knowing their on the way out, Hart looked like the only guy who cared he was playing a Derby on Sunday
No Carrick, Jones, Blind, or Rojo for United. Worried about this game still... shades of us going to Liverpool last year when they were in the driver's seat to win the league. We didn't have a ton to play for and went up there with a B- squad and ruined their title bid.
This is nothing like that. We're up fucking 7 points with a game in hand. All of you need to stop being such pussies.
Honestly I'm worried about the back line. Blind who will be missing has been solid and a Shaw who is out of favor an inexperienced McNair on left side is not very comforting. Curious to see how LvG deals with Carrick out and pulls Fellaini back as he has been super effective playing basically up top.
Not trying to be a homer but don't think City's talent is close to ours now. Would take United's over them too. Yaya was City's heart and EPL's best player of the last 5 years or so and he's done and Kompany is not good anymore. Zabaleta has lost a step too. They're an old team who's run is over unless they can get through FFP and spend 150-200 mil again.
They invested heavily in their youth system recently, but that is years away. Let us all hope FFP is actually enforced and they don't somehow have some Qatari "sponsor" give them $200 mil a season for some bs sponsorship.
