Magic Lamps

honestly i have no idea. the only thing that could have an impact are work permit issues.but i think the fa will do everything possible to keep the status quo. could be a messy transition period tho That being said i am also sceptic if it really happens. the parliament will just reject any deal and also reject a no deal brexit so to call it off is probably the only solution left. The whole brexit is just madness. the stupidity to call on a referendum for this at all and then to exit euroep when britain actually is one of its main beneficiaries

testament to the supeirority of the Premier League. would not surprise me if both winners of the euro competitions were English. Brexit will fuck up the new British dominance anyway^^

would be nice keeping ManU and Tottenham occupied. Would fancy Juve to beat ManU tho

haha thanks. I am a multi-tab junkie, usually have like 50 of them open, slows the shit even out of my 32gb ram^^

@Vesper do you have nice stream for the bayern game? The usual suspects (easysport, totalsportek, vipleagu) are all lagging on my pc

yup i have to find out what they are feeding the strikers here in frankfurt, esp with the late goals. I currently live around and have been to a few games. Of the 3 Eintracht strikers Haller, Jovic, Paciencia, there are always 2 on fire this season. The crowd in the Commerzbank Arena is amazing and they really push their team, esp in crunch time and they create lots more chances at home than away. From my perspective Haller suits us better probably even though Jovic is arguably the better finisher (only 3 goals this year so far i think tho). But Jovic has the BAtshuayi habit of scoring in clusters vs shit teams. Hallers goals are more smoothly distributed. He is more physical, more athletic. Basically a nippy Giroud with better finishing.

tbf of Mikhytaryans goals and assists 5 and 5 came in Europa league qualification 1st adn 2nd round vs clown teams. Bruno FErnandes is playing in Portugese league, hardly comparable to Premier League. Also Fernandes is hardly a pure MF like Lamps. He has played as second striker (e.g. game vs Feirense). Still would take him in our team instantly.

I don't see why giving him a 1 year extension is a bad decision. He has his flaws and is far from a world-class defender now but he surely has earned the extension, is vital for how the team plays as he is the only accurate long-range passer in the team. Even without the deferral we are short of CBs and it would have been unwise to let him go.

Seen Schalke's debacle? Not too far off our defeat at the Etihad. And it will be just as bad if we keep this fraud in charge.

Still their defence is antique. I trust City to smash Juve on a good day. And to Ronaldo even though he is an obnoxious cunt you have to give him credit for the hard work he put in his body to still be able to perform at this level at 34..still has an ok amount of pace and leap anf most importantly os as good a finisher as ever.

They just should have scored. They had the chances despite being battered all the way. Also not conceding 3 would have been a start. Those crosses to ronaldo were defendable

Atletico really choked this once again.

Schalke a hardly the yardstick tho. They are an excuse of a football team and the club is in chaos every other year. They got a board that is just as incompetent as ours but with less money. It is testament to the abysmal level of bundesliga that they make it to the CL at all.

The obligatory pen gift in that fixture

Lolz Kante signed a 5 years extension in November. For 400m he can leave

Did not see that coming. Reduces our chances to keep Hazard even more. Had hoped for a Mourinho comeback There.

after that shameful performance I hope everyone sees now that Sarri still is and always has been a fraud and needs to be gone asap. Those 3 wins in a row mean fuck all and the only way to get CL is still winning EL cos we are not gonna get anywhere in the league with such a plague of a manager and board.

you are right I only just noticed that the ban will be upheld during the appeal, which is quite rigged. Really makes me wonder why the board did so little business in january. We definitely have to make CHO and Hazard stay and let them walk in a year. Maybe we can offer them a huge pay rise to make them extend for one year with the promise to let them go for a decent fee. The club really is run by amateurs

Those were some big ifs tho, we are not gonna sell Hazard without replacing him. Kante alone is worth as much as the better half of their squad. And they only got 19 players in their senior squad so far. For sure they are gonna run out of steam at some point. Give them EL and they would really struggle. How many teams have played for the european places in one season and struggled with relegation in the next. This league is so strong and the competition never sleeps.

on a different note arsenal lost 3-1 in rennes

zappacosta's crossing is absolutely torrid

This is how RLC and CHO can really hurt teams with their pace and directness. Should both start

even on the 10th replay a breathtakingly beautiful freekick. Well done, we really can not complain for a lack of freekick goals this season. I remember we used to go seasons without one

I can see this too. Salihamidzic really fluffed his lines by spreading his intentions in public like an amateur. I hope we sell CHO to Dortmund, Leverkusen or some other team that is not Bayern but might hurt them a bit.

we have to win EL anyway. Idont think Tottenham or Utd will win the CL. It will be Barca, atletico or City for sure. but just out of interest, what happens if Spurs/utd finish 5th and win CL, we finish fourth and neither us nor Arsenal win EL. Will it be 5 English teams in Cl then again?
