English Football 2015/2016

[Dokaka]

Do you think West Ham are above playing in the EL? What are your expectations then playing in only domestic competitions and target to win one of the cups which will send you to the EL anyway? Or is West Ham realistically going to target top 4? I would think mid tier clubs would be happy to play in the EL because targeting the top 4 might work once every 20 years if you can get an Everton type team together.

I'm fine with playing in the EL; the issue is the way we qualified and the amount of games we have to play. If we'd qualified through 5th or 6th place, I'd have no problems at all. The amount of games played would be similar to a CL run.

If we make it to the final, we'd have played around 60 games for the season. In comparison. Aaron Ramsey played 35 games last season in total. 60 games is a lot of ****ing games.

Look at the quality of the teams we're playing against at the moment ffs:

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Looks like my 7-a-side team after the first 10 mins.

So Falcao to Chelsea - sad to say it, but it might be a pretty good fit - lets just hope wenger dosnt go bargain hunting for Remi

Liverpool - whoever did their transfers did well - looking forward to see how Firmino does

I disagree about Liverpool, they will once again have a **** transfer year Imo. Firminho might be good.

Firmino - exiting player - they overpaid for him though

Clyne is a massively better RB than whatever it was they did with emre can last year - pretty cheap also

Milner isnt a star but he is a workhorse and will do a job in midfield - not our level but good option for pool.

Danny ings young premiership player of the year - good prospect going to cost like 30% of what chambers did us

cant really see much they could do better

No? Harry Kane won that award.

 

[Dokaka]

What are you on about? The Premiership is just another word for the Premier League.

 

[Livedk]

No? Harry Kane won that award.

"championship" 2014 : O)

getting 11 goals for burnley in the PL first season as 22 year old isnt half bad either - great backup for sturridge next year and very cheap

 

[Bould14]

Not sold on Danny Ings but lad has potential. There's a big gap from a decent striker, and special.

 

[Lilwizzle]

Strange move for Clyne. You'd expect confused foreigners(Firmino), decent potential(Ings, Bogdan) or past it/soon to be retired(Milner) footballers to move to Anfield, but Clyne actually has potential to be one of the best. 1-2 more years at Southampton and all the top 4 teams would be in for him, including us probably.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

One of the best what? Clyne is pretty average.

 

[GDeep™]

That Rio meets Gerrard interview is decent viewing on BT Sports.

That slip kills him, while Gerrard touches on tactical nativity a few times during their title push 2013/14.

 

[Lilwizzle]

Gibbs is average, Jenko is average, Clyne is very good and will only get better. Top 3 RB last year at 23 years old.

 

[GDeep™]

Gerrard says Keane and Vieira were his toughest opponents, studied them etc.

 

[GDeep™]

Interesting points on England, team camaraderie etc.

 

[OnlyOne]

There if anyone wants to watch it, it is a great watch.

 

[fabo]

Gerrard knows. Vieira and Keane are hands down the best CM's in PL history.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Vieira has inspired loads of CMs. I remember Fabrice Muamba naming his one2eleven, said Vieira was the best CM he's ever seen. Found this quote from him interesting;

Central midfield - Patrick Vieira
Those who get a chance to work under him will tell you he’s a real leader. Every boy in the academy at Arsenal was given a DVD of Patrick . Even if you play right-wing or left-wing you’re given one.

Absolute beast was Paddy. I was very young when he was here, but I remember him playing vividly. It genuinely felt like we had an extra player at times with Vieira, complete midfielder.

We have Bellerin, no need for Clyne.
