2016/17 Premier League & General Football Discussion

[Liquid]

in non-Man United news, Southampton have scored a Premier League goal, not conceded a penalty and won.

In non-English Premier League news, Connah's Quay maintained an unbeaten start to the season by thrashing Aberystwyth Town 4-0 to go second.

Surprise, surprise it's TNS who are top of the table with a 100% record.

They'll be dancing in the streets of TNS tonight.

The only top flight that matters

Unless Raith Rovers are top of the Championship too?

 

[mustafur]

Only in the Welsh league does an English team reign supreme lol.

The original team is from Wales (Llansantffraid) but when they merged with a bankrupt Oswestry Town FC in 2001 they decided to use Oswestry's ground and training facilities because they were better.

The same team that uses #SaintsFC.

Third round of the League cup is this week starting tomorrow, Swansea play Man City twice this week before clashes with Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea, Pray for Swansea!

Why, Man city will probably fill the team with under 20 year olds.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Chelsea beat Leicester 4-2, wins for Arsenal and Liverpool too, only shocks were Bournemouth and Everton being knocked out at home to Preston and Norwich.

 

[Liquid]

It made me chuckle.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

League Cup fourth round draw.

Bristol City v Hull
West Ham v Chelsea
Arsenal v Reading
Southampton v Sunderland
Newcastle v Preston
Leeds v Norwich
Man United v Man City
Liverpool v Tottenham

Some very interesting ties there, no doubt a Manchester derby being one of them! But Liverpool v Spurs and West Ham v Chelsea too.

Man United beat Northampton 1-3 and Spurs hammered Gillingham on a night of few shocks.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Ryan Giggs has been linked with the Swansea managerial job, Guidolin is under some pressure after one win in our first five league games but we have let a few key players go in the summer so i would give him time, until say Christmas, to turn it around, fans aren't happy with the way things are going but there's no panic yet.

 

[m8h3r]

I know that Giggs has learnt next to a couple of good managers in SAF and LVG but he really needs to cut his teeth in a lower league. He'd get torn up by the pressure and media at a Premier League club.

 

[Sureboss]

@Famine Have you prepared yourself for a 7-goal thriller tomorrow? We've got the 2nd best attack in the Championship, and the 2nd worst defence!

 

[Liquid]

In some positive news, the Football League has rejected proposals to include Premier League reserves and more non-English teams to its touted restructuring.

If he starts off low though he might struggle reaching a top club, you don't see many managers start off in the lower divisions and work their way up, Brendan Rodgers is the only example I can think of in recent times. I think his reputation would take a big hit unless whoever he manages in one of the lower divisions immediately does well.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Games this weekend.

Saturday

Arsenal v Chelsea (5.30 BT)
Bournemouth v Everton
Liverpool v Hull
Man United v Leicester (12.30 Sky)
Middlesbrough v Tottenham
Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Swansea v Man City

Sunday

West Ham v Southampton (4pm Sky)

Monday

Burnley v Watford (8pm Sky)


All about Saturday with two big games, just the one Sunday game.

Burnley striker Andre Gray suspended by the FA for four match in relation to his homophobic tweets.

 

[88GTA]

I'm psyched for Leicester and Man U tomorrow. I'll be watching it while I "work" tomorrow morning.

Edit: No Rooney and no Fellani today to start.

Edit2: And so ManU scores 4 goals in 20 minutes, 3 of them within 5 minutes...

Thank God.

Dembele still scoring for Celtic, half time 2-1 and a scorching double from the Frenchman. 10 goals so far this season.

 

[Famine]

Dropping Rooney seems to have worked wonders for United. Let's hope England pick up the idea.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Very nice win that was badly needed 👍

Currently Arsenal 3-0 Chelsea at HT and Arsenal are just ripping Chelsea and their poor defense apart, goals from Sanchez, Walcott and Ozil, Luiz and Cahill just terrible at the back and the first from Alexis came from a mistake from Cahill, still 45 to go!

Local derby here finished Wrexham 0-0 Chester, could hear the police helicopter buzzing around near my place of work earlier.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Great win for the Arsenal

 

[adamp93]

Arsenal were superb today, although Chelsea didn't exactly make it difficult. Iwobi was the stand out player for me.
Other than that, can someone explain who the big clubs in the premier league are if Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester don't count.

 

[Jimlaad43]

But against the bigger teams is when Liverpool shine. It's matches they should win like Burnley, Swansea and Sunderland they lose...

 

[lxmmy]

Arsenal were superb today, although Chelsea didn't exactly make it difficult. Iwobi was the stand out player for me.

Everyone was outstanding, it would be hard for me to pick who gets the MOTM. Bit of mis-communication towards the end of between Mustafi & Koscielny but it will improve for future games.

I can't see Giroud staying until the January window as it seems Wenger is no longer interested in starting him but hopefully some club can buy him for a decent amount of money to which Arsenal can use that money to buy another striker which suits the counter-attack.

Giroud offers something different which can obviously be a benefit. I can't see Wenger selling him anytime soon unless someone comes in with a big offer which is also unlikely.

Just can't bear him anymore, he is too slow for Arsenal's style of play and he is more of a liability than a benefit. He is a good striker but rather be suited to a team which focuses on aerial play.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Jurgen Klopp to be a special guest on Monday Night Football tomorrow.

 

[Sanji Himura]

Aliko Dangote (pictured below), Africa's richest man, has vowed to buy Arsenal within the next three to four years. Dangote, who is currently the world's 51st richest, says he is a massive Arsenal fan for over 30 years and vows to improve the club instead of running it like a business. By comparison, Arsenal's current owner, Stan Kroenke, is 148th richest in the world.
