The BIG Football Thread

He's not been punished because he's a bully and a cheat who uses his position to lean on people. His recent outburst isn't 'mind games' however, it's just him losing his rag and making a fool of himself.

If Fergie managed any of the clubs you listed and acted in the manner he has over the past few years, Man United fans woudl absolutely fucking hate him.

To an extent it's the FA's fault - he behaves the way he does because they've let him get away with it for so long.

You forgot to mention diving, penalty awards and "Fergie time"

Fergie time is hilarious. Such corruption

Looks like we're on the verge of signing Dubuchy, which would be a great addition. See Demba Ba's multiple and competing agents are trying to whore him around everywhere without our permission. Looks like the 7.5 million is the tip of the iceberg though, with agents fees, a demand for a 4 year, 80kpw contract and loyalty bonus pushing it up to more like 20m. Plus he'd be unlikely to pass a medical. I think the only team stupid enough to come close to the current package the agents are asking for is QPR and he seemed to turn them down last week as beneath him.

Debuchy is a really talented attacking fullback but I'm not sure how his defending will translate into the EPL.
And what do you mean he would be unable to pass a medical?

Ba's knees allegedly are going to explode at any moment.

Oh man I just looked it up and wow he's failed multiple medicals since 2006.
That's really sad seeing as how good of a player he is.

Cristiano Ronaldo could return to United for 73 million+ De Gea.
I'm scared.
That would mean Madrid losing their best player and United gaining one of the two best players on the planet.
It would be a very sad day indeed.

Liverpool signed Sturridge and Ba and Chelsea are in contract talks.

Thought I saw that pass on Twitter, from Sturridge.
And yesterday I heard Ba wasn't going to Chelsea, now he suddenly is according to that same source. Good job

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

He doesn't even really look happy.
Probably because he plays for Liverpool.

 

[Shinigami357]

No effing way... seriously? Hm...

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

QPR beat Chelsea.
El oh el

Marcos Lopes is on the bench against Watford.
He came on to score in extra time I think he'll fit in just fine.

 

[Shinigami357]

Well, another comeback. Sucks having to do a replay , though.

QFT!
But hey, no Euro/World Cup after this season, so the players don't have to play then too.
Still, the amount of games is pretty big.... Inhuman dare I say, not healthy.

Swansea starting XI v Arsenal: Vorm, Tiendalli, Chico, Bartley, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Ki, Routledge, Dyer, Graham.

Yeah, I think Arsenal might win this.

 

[BlueStar]

I'm in a draw predicting syndicate, three of my four selections were draws yesterday and my other one is Swansea-Arsenal so I'm hoping for even stevens at 90 minutes.
