Yes - he signed a new deal on the same day Klopp did at Liverpool - Im sure its until 2023
-
I guess we also need to consider Summer outgoings also - hopefully this remains squad players. Kent staying is top priority for me and in the event we needed to sell an asset to then spend on other areas Kent would be the one I wouldnt let go. Barisic is key also - and if he makes the Euro's he will be in the shop window unfortunately. But if we make the CL group stages I dont think anyone would want to leave.

I dont think they have been as good as two seasons ago due to their slow league start and the odd off performance as you mentioned but its been a slight tweak in formation which probably took a few weeks to get use to along with adapting without Silva and Kompany (more so last season) but in Foden and Diaz they have solved that issue. Id still have Aguero up top - his finish on Saturday was a rocket.
-
Yeah same here, nothing against either but seeing Rooney relegated would raise a smirk. But always had a soft spot for Wednesday and hoping they can eventually get back to the top flight. If ever a super rich investor wanted to buy a club it should be Sheff Wed. Thee sleeping giant. Having a look at the tables - League one next season could have Sunderland, Ipswich, Charlton, Bolton, Derby and Sheff Wed.
-
Any two from Derby, Rotherham and Sheff Wed can still go down. (Wycombe can mathematically stay up but its beyond unrealistic with the goal difference) Derby 43 pts with GD of -22 Rotherham 41 pts with GD -16 Sheff Wed 40 pts with GD -21 Its Derby v Sheff Wed on the last day and Cardiff v Rotherham. Rotherham need to win and hope Derby dont win to stay up. Derby just need to win although a draw is good enough if Rotherham dont beat Cardiff. Sheff Wed need to beat Derby and hope Rotherham dont beat Cardiff. I'll be watching that Derby v Sheff Wed game on Saturday (12:30 K/o UK) and hoping the Owls can win there.

City are there. Much stronger than PSG over two games. Playing like this I dont see Chelsea or Real stopping them. I know Chelsea won the FA Cup semi final but it was a changed side that day.
-
Legendary. I never get tired of hearing that.

Podcast was a good listen this morning, first one Ive listened to in ages. Discussion was spot on although if I was Colin Id still have had a few cans after the game ? Stewart Weir is great - I use to hear him often on Talksport during the night UK time and always thought he was on the ball. Fully agree about McGregor and the save he tipped onto the bar - I think its maybe went 'slightly' under the radar as to how good it was, it was going in.
-
Well done sir - I suppose you were due a win. Kent is on the verge of being a special player, he has all the ability and he is the one I worry about losing the most.
-
I know, you have to ask this question. They were acting like they werent Man Utd fans. I found it very dubious. Unfortunately I dont think this is a one off, it could have a domino effect. By all means have a protest although Im never sure what Protests gain unless they are in mammoth numbers but going into the stadium is effectively break-in. Obviously they didnt envisage getting the game called off but whether that is something that now gathers momentum to hit owners in the pocket is another thing. On the pitch Arsenal rock up with a good performance which is what they do to paper over cracks but Arteta has to look at Martinelli and Aubameyeng and start them on Thursday.

gpl predictions (image) Bluebear54's GPL 2020/21: Rangers vs Celtic
Gribz replied to Rousseau's topic in Rangers Chat
Rangers 2-0 Celtic Morelos FGS -
What a strike by Aguero it was. I think he is tailor made for Barca next season if Messi stays. Man City fans are living in a terrific era right now that they are seeing their clubs best ever spell and dont need to compare generations. They can have have the debate about their best ever player. Silva and Kompany were class but Aguero will go down as their all time best IMO. He will win all five Premier Titles in the past ten years. Quick comment on Everton - everytime they have had a chance to get ahead of Liverpool they bottle it. Ancelotti has got some work to do in the summer.
-
Man Utd are in the final. If they got Cavani 5 years ago he'd have surpassed 100 goals for them - what a striker he is. I wonder if they win it does the 5th place Premier team get into the CL. Hopefully thats the way West Ham get in but how bad would it be if thats the case and Liverpool end up in the CL due to Man Utd. Villarreal must be kicking themselves conceding.

Southampton 1-2 Leicester Crystal Palace 0-2 Man City Brighton 1-1 Leeds Chelsea 3-0 Fulham Everton 2-1 Aston Villa Newcastle 1-1 Arsenal Man Utd 2-2 Liverpool Tottenham 3-0 Sheff Utd West Brom 1-0 Wolves Burnley 2-1 West Ham

City moved up the park and stopped PSG playing, it was impressive tactics from Pep. But prior to the first goal I was saying to myself City need a striker to win this competition as they were just moving the ball around side to side looking to break down PSG - then bang its 1-1 - what do I know! As good as City were second half there was a hint of luck about De Bruyne goal, its a cross that had some curve at the last bounce. The Europa tonight Im going for two home wins. Man Utd 2-0 Roma Villarreal 2-1 Arsenal
-
Id have Giroud starting all day long with Havertz or Werner just behind him. If Werner finds his goalscoring touch that he had in Germany then he could be some player - you cant fault his effort and he gets into good areas. Giroud is two yards of pace short of been one of the best strikers but he has an incredible goalscoring record at club and international level. Unfortunately Chelsea are not far away from being an extremely good side under Tuchel. Hoping Man City get a good result tonight, pretty sure they would take a 1-1 also but PSG went to Munich and scored three so a 1-0 steal would be great.
-
Hope you had a cheeky tenner on that. Good result for Chelsea, puts them in the driving seat. Under Tuchel they could be a force next season and will be challenging for the title. He will get a few of his own players in so will only improve. Ive been impressed by him.
-
Agree with that though - I dont get the appointment at all. But most managers always get a lift out of the team. Im surprised Allegri hasnt been appointed in the Premier League - He is a available on a free. Same as Rafa Benitez - He is tailor made for either Spurs or Arsenal.
-
Haha. It was worth a punt. Forgot to predict the League Cup final. Man City 1-2 Tottenham. Im going for the Spurs - After getting rid of Jose they will start to win. That will be Man City out of two competitions in a week.
-
Vodka fueled predictions. Arsenal 2-1 Everton Liverpool 3-0 Newcastle West Ham 0-1 Chelsea Sheff Utd 2-0 Brighton Wolves 1-1 Burnley Leeds 2-4 Man Utd Aston Villa 2-0 West Brom Leicester 2-0 Crystal Palace

No Mr Scott. I think this is a false flag and it will happen. You dont get these things happening without fire. Where is Mr Compo by the way. He is fined two weeks wages
-
Ooosh - you will get big odds. Agree about Leicester though - they will drop out. Im just catching up on this Super League stuff - I still think it will happen.
-
Midweek wonders..... Scott - no lateness please or you are training with the reserves. Chelsea 2-0 Brighton Tottenham 2-0 Southampton (hopefully we dont have to bare the depressing Mourinho again in the Premier League - no other club will take him) Aston Villa 1-5 Man City Leicester 2-0 West Brom
