I hope we don't have to hear any more comments about whether Aguero should've been at a concert out of the country. Already tired of that
Man United so far this year have played teams that are currently 15th, 18th, 17th, 13th, 16th, 12th and 20th in the table. Basically the easiest possible start they could have had. In the next 4 they have at Liverpool, Spurs and at Chelsea. Things going to get interesting in the next month.
Think Kane is on his own level in 2017 even with his August jinx I thank him for ending the early game in 20 minutes so I could go back to sleep and at least function at 50% today
I think you can make a case for any of Kane, De Bruyne, Hazard with Sanchez, Aguero, Pogba, Eriksen, Kante, Silva, Mane in the tier below.
Early indicators say we should be able to add some more forwards/strikers to the list by year's end as well, which is nice. I was also a huge Pogba fan of the Juve variety, but I don't think he should be anywhere near this list.
He's been pretty good but Kante and Dembele have been the leagues 2 best holding mids the last 2 years. And that's it for praising anything Tottenham related for 2017, Dele is an overrated ghoul
I think we can forget the embarrassment of being the first to lose to Palace and replace it with what team will actually concede a league goal to them. Chelsea has them next.
There's a thread for stuff like this, fyi https://www.the-mainboard.com/index...topic-where-chums-can-chit-chat.54091/page-40

Spoiler: Blackstone’s Tripp Smith buys in to English football at West Ham Blackstone’s Tripp Smith buys in to English football at West Ham Asset manager buys 10% stake, adding to US investors drawn by boom in TV rights SEPTEMBER 29, 2017 by Murad Ahmed and Arash Massoudi West Ham United has become the latest English Premier League club to gain investment from the US after a senior Blackstone executive acquired a 10 per cent holding in the east London football team. Tripp Smith, a senior managing director of Blackstone and co-founder of the asset management group GSO Capital Partners, has become a minority owner of the English Premier League club, according to three people familiar with the deal. West Ham remains under the control of its largest shareholders, the British entrepreneurs David Sullivan and David Gold. Mr Smith acquired the 10 per cent stake from CB Holding, an Icelandic group that gained the holding after the collapse of Iceland’s Stramur Investment Bank in 2009, according to a person close to the deal. Mr Smith has become a director of West Ham United’s parent company, according to documents filed in Companies House on Friday, while the Icelandic director, Daniel Svanstrom, has left the group. The price paid by Mr Smith for his stake remains unclear. West Ham and Blackstone declined to comment. The Premier League has attracted a number of prominent US investors in the past decade as booming broadcasting rights have increased the value of clubs in England’s top tier. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Swansea City and Crystal Palace are all controlled by US individuals or companies. English clubs have long sought to target US audiences, where Premier League matches have grown in popularity. In 2016, NBC, the US television network, paid $1bn for its six-season deal to screen EPL matches — a fourfold increase from the previous contract. West Ham has been looking to establish itself as one of the league’s leading teams. Last season, it moved into London’s Olympic stadium, winning the tenancy rights to the ground after a long and bitter battle with cross-town rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The club pays an annual rent of £2.5m to use the 60,000-seater stadium, an arrangement that has been widely criticised for not creating more value for the taxpayer-funded building.
Staying up past 1 playing clubs on FIFA, not a bad idea. Getting up at 7:30 for early game, not a bad idea. Doing both, bad idea
