2016/17 Premier League & General Football Discussion

[mustafur]

To be honest he isn't even a 90 minute player for us!

I'm not sure if it's fitness or whatever but the guy constantly goes off around the 60-70 minute mark. He's played something like 4 90 minute matches in the past 2 seasons despite starting 75% of them.

Too many Aussie players try to join clubs they can't make the starting 11 in, Our first choice Keeper is Valencia's 2nd choice, same with our Midfeilders Robbie Kruse probably one of our best players, plays for Laverkusen and he hasn't even played a game this season lol.
Aaron Mooy is another, is Signed to Manchester City and I doubt he will ever play a game for them(And is loaned off to Huddersfield).

If there's more like Rogic we'd happily take them for a bit.

Also this beautiful man.

Zaha has switched allegiances to Ivory Coast. Smart move by him as it is unlikely for him to break into the England senior team due to the saturation players which play in the same position as him and Ivorians have been lacking players of his quality of recent years.

Australia have quite young team still. Just take a look at Luongo, Brad Smith, Leckie and Amini. All young and are bound to be big players for club and country.

 

[mustafur]

Well Kruse said he is leaving in January, and Aussies seem to love playing in Scotland so you never know.

Yeah but the Problem is our Current Stars have put them selves into holes, Matt Ryan is probably our best Goal Keeping Talent ever, but he moved from his Guaranteed Number 1 at Brugge to be a 2nd choice at Valencia, and he is always lacking match fitness when it comes to internationals now, Leckie is literally our only player that plays regular Football in the top division of a Top league(Bundesliga), go back a few years and our entire squad was.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So a few things.

League Cup quarter finals is this week, Its Hull v Newcastle and Liverpool v Leeds tomorrow night and Arsenal v Southampton and Man United v West Ham (again!) on Wednesday night, the Liverpool-Leeds and United-WHU games are televised on Sky.

FA waiting on Ref's report before giving any punishment to Jose Mourinho after he was sent to the stands yesterday, for the second time this season.

The FA have finally started an independent inquiry into the recent abuse cases amongst young players dating back to around 20-30 years ago.

Finally, did anyone see that Blacks v Whites documentary on BBC2 last night??, fancsinating stuff...

http://www.smh.com.au/world/plane-c...hes-in-medellin-colombia-20161129-gt09hk.html

That's awful. The whole club...

 

[Dennisch]

Apparently they were on their way to play the first leg of the final of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's Europa League. There are 5 survivors reported, 3 players, a journalist and a stewardess.

And the Argentina squad flew on this plane a couple of weeks ago.

 

[mustafur]

Well actually 3 players have somehow survived the crash, just being pulled out of the wreckage.

The plane was very close to landing that can be the only explanation on how anyone could survive this.

Really hope this club can continue but I would fear for the Mental health of the players a really Tragic scenario.

 

[88GTA]

Terrible news.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Desperately sad news, there were also three players that didn't travel because they were injured/suspended, just seen a pic of them in the dressing room at their stadium, it really does tell a thousand words.

The plane circled three times before it went down, all South American Football has been suspended indefinitely.

Thoughts with everyone involved

 

[MoLiEG]

RIP, my thoughts are with the families of all the players and staff members who lost their lives.

Atlético Nacional has requested to declare Chapecoense Champions of the Copa Sudamericana... I really hope this happens would be a great way to honour the team

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Brazilian clubs announce they will loan players to Chapacoense without fees and they will be exempt from relegation for next three years.

 

[MoLiEG]

Munich (Manchester United), Superga (Torino), Alianza Lima, Zambia, and now, Chapecoense in Colombia

Today is a sad day for Football

 

[Akmuq]

I've been reading up on them today with all the articles doing the rounds. They were in the 4th division in 2009 and were pretty much universally loved, sort of like how teams like Swansea and Bournemouth are a lot of people's soft spot teams in Britain. It's truly heartbreaking news to hear about.

RIP.

 

[lxmmy]

Danilo whom one of the players who had survived the initial crash had later passed away in hospital.

It looked like a story from fantasy for them. From Serie C in 2012 to Serie A & final of the Copa Sudamericana. I pray for the families and friends of the club and that they get the best of support.

RIP.

 

[m8h3r]

RIP to the people who lost their lives on the plane. You can imagine how electric the mood must have been on that plane on the way to the Finals. Sad day indeed.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Been feeling a bit down in the dumps with the sad news, never thought it would be a Liverpool players that cheered me up!, What a night for Ben Woodburn, scoring their winner in front of the Kop, Hull beat Newcastle on pens to go through too...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So a couple things, Gareth Southgate has finally been named as England's new permanent manager on a four year deal, Steve Holland will be his assistant.

Jose Mourinho has been given a one match touchline ban and a 16k fine for being sent to the stands in the West Ham match on Saturday, he will serve the ban in the League Cup match tonight, also against West Ham.

 

[jake2013guy]

Arsenal 0 - 2 Southampton
West Ham 1 - 4 Manchester United

Man United v Hull City
Southampton v Liverpool

Damn.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Good win tonight with a double assist for Mkhitaryan, why cant we do that in the League??

 

[m8h3r]

Good win tonight with a double assist for Mkhitaryan, why cant we do that in the League??

That would make it too hard for everyone else. We can't just win everything. I joke but it is very frustrating, a month of draws in the league and yet in Europe and Domestic Cup last two games we put 4 goals away.

Yeah, I did read that over the weekend. Just haven't gotten around to updating. Just five games in charge. Five. 39 days. 39. There must be something else going on there.

It's also worth noting that Bury were 2nd in September and flying high, the form team of the country. Now David Flitcroft is down the jobbie with his P45.

16th November - David Flitcroft (Bury, sacked) League One
23rd November - Alberto Cavasin (Leyton Orient, sacked) League Two
28th November - Kenny Jackett (Rotherham United, sacked) Championship

Sackings: 13
Resignations: 5

Total: 18

 

[MoLiEG]

Reports indicate that the plane carrying Chapecoense had no fuel when it crashed.

 

[Brend]

Hearts player Igor Rossi was best friends with a player killed in the crash; Josimar.

He celebrated a 2-0 victory over Rangers by walking the pitch with a Brazil flag and a t-shirt that said 'I belong to Jesus'.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Juan Roman Riquelme and Ronaldinho set to come out of retirement to play for Chapecoense. 👍
