The FA Premier League (English Football) Official Thread

It is one of the finest experiences to make the Manu-tour at Old Trafford and to attend a play. Many friends are coming extra for this to MAN from other continents. There is no sports-club with such an international reputation, with loyal supporters world-wide. Sir Alex has built a fantastic club, now its time for other people to go ahaed. Nobody can be permanent the winner. Its good for Manu to learn this also.

I would argue that Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid have such an international reputation, and speaking of Barcelona I read the other day that they are the 5th best supported club in the UK !!!! Madness.
G, I have had that view of Fergies retirement since the day it was announced. You don't have to follow football to notice when a guy decides to retire at the top because he knows that a crash is coming.
-
I were merely pointing out that your observation was indeed astute and correct
-
Tottenham fan here, so I expect a mid table finish and not much else!
-
My main ambition (as a Newcastle fan) is that we renew our age old battle with Spurs for 7th spot, rather than last season deathly rumble with Stoke for 10th
-
I'm hoping Pochettino has a positive effect on the team, last year was frustrating!
-
Second half of the Chelsea / Leicester City game was brilliant until the bad guys scored.
-
watching the man utd games is going to give me high blood pressure. defence is atrocious. such inexperience players and even those more experience centre mid like fletcher and cleverly who have been through seasons giving away the ball too early. it's like they all forgotten how to play football with the exception of rooney, persie and mata.
liverpool and man city on tuesday. interesting game, although too early in the season to get any good of it.

Lucky to get a point there

I'm riding high on the Spurs 4-0 win over QPR last night (Asian time). Granted QPR were shocking but more importantly, this was the first time in far too long that Spurs have looked like a cohesive team who know how to play with one another. They were excellent on the break and played a good attacking game that was a joy to watch. Lamela and Chadli look to be in the process of making up for the previous season and the former is becoming a real threat. Eric Dier is proving to be a great signing too with a lot of potential.
Liverpool next week will be more of a challenge but I'm confident!
-
Typical spuds supporter flying high after a couple good results. This is definitely your year!
Sorry, no offence meant, but it's such a regular theme every year that I had to
-
No offence taken - there's a lot of promise but this season will be one of consolidation rather than barnstorming success I think. Could get very interesting in the fight for 3rd to 8th place in the PL!
Gooner?
-
Yes a gooner. I agree that this season looks like it will be pretty open like last year. It's great to see every game be a real open challenge
-
does this thread include the capital one cup?? cause looking at the results i think i've just lost my mind…
-
I think we can extend the conversation to MU getting tonked by a league one side.
LVG has a huge task on his hands not just in implementing his playing strategies and philosophy, but also building up the mental strength of a team that just appear to have lost it. Not to mention keeping the fans on side. They really need a resounding win soon.
-
It was a young team, but still not an excuse to go down against League 1 opposition.
My team finally scored a goal this season
An own goal by one of Gillingham's defenders
It's going to be a long, hard season ahead….
