I doubt they win, I expect United to trash them. 

They won't trash the Godenzonen. Ajax are my hometown team so I watch them all the time - the progress made this season has been remarkable. Totaalvoetbal is back, Bosz has done a magnificent job, and honestly, with how free scoring Ajax are, and how much United struggle against high pressing teams... Ajax have a chance. Naturally I'm backing them, but you can't ignore United's individual quality. A win for Ajax is a win for football though (gosh, never thought I'd say that given people always say it against Chelsea). Let's all be Ajacieden for a day and hope that United collapse.

Wenger has lost the plot hasn't he? "Teams shouldn't copy Chelsea's defensive style" didn't be just switch to 343 a few weeks ago? Dementia setting in anyone?

Verbal shit spouting like Mourinho without even thinking of what they are saying.

vote for the goal of the season, so many great goals to choose from, but i voted for Matic against Tottenham, such a clean strike in to the top corner, amazing goal

No, let's talk about net spend.

There were moments when Chelsea fans discussed for eternity, which one is better Hazard or Robben on the flank, and Lampard come up with a solution, put Robben on the left and Hazard on the right.

The other way round is actually much more suitable given either's preference for cutting inside.

they could switch positions in the flanks, much like what Duff and Robben used to do, to give defenders nightmares. @@RoyalBlues

Both Jose & Pep spent too long in Spain. They must've been so arrogant to genuniely believe only Madrid vs. Barcelona matters with all else said; because everything suggests they didn't study 1 other team during their tenures. Sure, they spoke with scouts and whatnot pre-game to scope out who they're against, but neither of them watched the progression of the football world. Neither of them watched the slow rise and declines of other leagues, seemingly.

Both are better brands than managers now. And that's because they put more energy into shaving adverts etc. than re-remembering the basics.
Neither seems like a fan of the game, like they wish they were on the pitch. The managers on top right now do give that energy.

Mazzari to leave Watford at the end of the Season.

[Johnnyeye 7,415]

this gives me chills, the sketch art on Pedro´s fast goal vs United, Courtois´s amazing last minute save from Van Aanholt´s shot and Hazard´s amazing solo goal against Arsenal, were all amazing, i wish they would have added Pedro´s strike against Everton tough. Cheers

 

[Special Juan 27,104]

Man United haven't had their team awards yet, the players and fans aren't sure which of the back 10 are to get the vote.

[Last Sicarius 610]

United are doing what they can do....defence.
Well that penalty xD

The closest these two pricks have got to the Premier League trophy

That Hazard goal against Arsenal...I still can't believe it. I'm usually a fan of top corner rockets like the one Matic scored against Spurs, but that's my favorite goal of this season.
