In my perfect World, Two of Arsenal/United/ManCity miss out on Top 4. I was fine with Liverpool winning today tbh, because next week they play City at the Etihad Stadium, and they can drag City deeper into the Top 4 race with a win. I'm here for the banter, and Liverpool and Spurs missing out on Top 4 is nothing to really talk about, (ok maybe it is a bit, but nothing extreme imo. ) The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom teams somewhat more. Chelsea surprisingly stays the same 56 in the 2nd half, 55 in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How seventh place qualifies for Europa League...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The lads are having a great game showing us how to handle Spuds. 2-0 at half time. What always suprises me is our lads have sorta dominated the youth leagues now for quite awhile yet none have reallly made a name for themselves in the big leagues.

It was both pleasing and intensely frustrating. For anyone who missed it, the game finished 2-1; a ludicrous score line considering how utterly dominant we were for all but about 6 or 7 of the 90 minutes. We missed an injury time penalty, but even 3-1 to us would still have flattered Spurs. Edit: City's kids look really talented. They destroyed Stoke in the first leg of their semi and people on blue moon seem pretty confident they'll win. Personally I think they're going to get a hell of a game from our lads if we go through.

I'm in no doubt tjay we jave 1 hellova accademy and the TEAMs prove they are at the best at their levels. So you would assume that theres at least a couple of outstanding lads with potential of playing in the top clubs. While we cant just bring anyone from the youths into the 1st it doesn't stop other clubs wanting to buy them does it? Even the ones we put om loan yes they end up with playing careers, fine, but why dont they attract interest from the big teams. This isn't just a Chelsea thing it seems its British clubs in general. I'm normally a believer in people finding their own level in life amd not hust players. So is it because our youth do find their playing levels or is there a problem in UK academy coaching?

Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Another manager sacked.....No surprise it's Karanka, dreadful form along with him having a go at the fans. I think they have acted far too late, he needed to be sacked around 5-6 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Someone said that Karanka had the football ethos of Mourinho, the charisma of Avram Grant and the surliness of Roy Keane ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 C'mon West Brom! Would be good to keep the north Londoners 3 points behind. Its got to be the closest run season for years for 2nd place. With Mounure and North London red 2 games behind, IF they both win their 2 games it would leave 5 clubs within a point of each other - and 10 points behind us! One game at a time. Cant fuck this up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one complained when we were ruling the europe. As you said, its lack of quality why english teams are so poor these days, not tiredness. Also switch to continental way of playing football isnt helping either. English teams should play the english football. Not nice on the eye, but it gets the job done and avoids humiliations in europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
