Season has been crazy so far, put the corruption aside, this has been so fucked up. Smaller Clubs doin the business, bigger ones going awol. We must not get into a blip, cuz this season you just never know.

JFC! How is Solskjaer the manager of Man United? That's the kind of comments Moyes and Hodgson used to make at United and Liverpool respectively and got panned for!

[Jase 43,479]

We go to Goodison Park very soon...

The one thing I'd say is it's a shame that Silva hasn't proven Paul Merson wrong for his ridiculous comments when he first came to England. Otherwise, yeah. He's been underwhelming ever since his days at Hull.

at least they did not prise away Mikel Arteta from Shitty, although he will go to Arse I am sure when Emery gets the sacking

They are genuinely the best team on the planet imo. 

Absolutely not! Best teams trush opponents very often and when was the last time Liverpool did so? Since Burnley in late August they didn't have clear win in the league. Always one or two small details decide their matches. Against us Pulisic small offside, they scored from two set pieces. In Sheffield goalkeeper made mistake. Leicester 95th minute penalty, Aston Villa goal in the last second, yesterday disallowed goal for Palace, Zaha missed sitter, against Spurs on 0:1 Son hit the post and instead of game over Pool turned it around with another penalty,  and against City Oliver had howler...

Aye,  they fluked their way to a CL title whilst only losing one game last season that had them lose the league on bloody 97 points. And now they are fluking their way this season by being 9 points clear of City. Couldn't possibly be they are the best team on the planet. 

Honestly, this 'conspiracy' and 'match fixing/season is rigged' talk makes me feel bloody embarrassed coming on to this forum at times. Always from the same members.

totally agree

PLUS

give them our injury level or Shitty's (JUST THIS YEAR, let alone last)

they are FUCKED

take away

van Dijk (Rudiger and AC and Laporte and Stones <<<<< and I am being so fair by ONLY taking away one from the dippers)

TAA (for the amount of time Reece and Mendy/Cancelo were out)

Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum (Kante and RLC not to mention on again off again niggling injuries for Rodri, Gündogan, Silva, De Bruyne, etc)

Mane (Sane for Shitty plus the loss of Hazard for us)

 

and they would not be in the top 3, maybe not in the top 4

no way, I refuse to believe it, you cannot pull those 4 or 5 players away for huge amounts of time (especially give their utter lack of depth) and win trophies 

until they win the league there is no way I will say they are the best team on the planet, I refuse to do it

 

and that lack of depth MAY fuck them

they are the least deep great team of the past 6, 7 years, maybe even 10 or longer

fuckall for depth at

CB (if 2 of their top 3 go down they are FUCKED, as if they can win the league and/or CL with Lovren (LOLOL) and either Matip or the regressed (bizarrely so, I thought he was on his way atraight to WC) Joe Gomez )

Both fullback sides (HUGE dropoff and atm NO backups at either one, unless you trot out  very soon 34yo MF Milner)

DMF (its Fabinho or bust, and I argue he is their most underrated key vital player, maybe most underrated on any top ten team in the world)

both winger sides, ZERO depth (Origi!! lolol) Xherdan Shaqiri is basically banned from the squad

CF is same as winger , ZERO depth (Origi again!!) Origi is their ONLY backup for THREE positions

 

so

nope, no way can I say they are the best team on the planet

best starting XI , maybe, but you cannot play the same XI for 60 games in a season

they are the jammiest I do admit that

So after all the help you saw them given last season was not enough? All the help they have received this season does not have you go just a bit suspicious? They are litteraly being helped in EVERY game and you think we are embarrassing for saying so? When will people wake up and see whats infront of them man. I dont care how good they are, if you cant see how in every game home and away they get all the decisions their way then peace be with you mate.

Arsenal makes Xhaka their captain...he tells fans to fuck off 

Now Aubameyang, their new captain is linked with move to Barca and we all know he will go if they want him.

Water is wet and arsenal is still the joke of London.

The audacity of Troopz calling any other club 'banter fc'. 

Don't feel sorry for him in the slightest. Has everything coming to him.

Emery looks likely to be sacked today. Ljungberg will likely take over as caretaker.
