Losing to Spurs twice last year was the most annoying thing ever, only cause a friend of mine is a Spurs fan. He's the worst 'fan' of sports ever though.

 

[Arnie]

The Spurs and United matches last season were sensational, especially the away fixtures.

Christ Old Trafford was fun.

 

[Clegg]

Still funny that in the midst of United's worst season for over 20 years, Arsenal still couldn't beat them.

 

[Maddox]

Fuck that.

Everyone thought Chelsea would win the league last season. They spent another barrel of cash in the summer whilst we signed Aspas and still finished ahead of them.

Mourinho is a boring coach and this is a time to play exciting football. It's a time to feel alive.

And United will crumble early. Moyes, LVG etc. they're all the same. They didn't stand a chance.

Yeah the main thing for me is the exciting football, I would finish second again as long as we were as entertaining to watch as we were last season.

At least Moyes did some good at United.

Did Arsenal beat any of the top teams last season?

 

[ShogunDarius]

GAF, what should I play for today, Destiny Beta, FFXIV, or Danganronpa?

 

[Salvadora]

We beat Liverpool in a masterclass at the Emirates.

 

[Hindle]

Newcastle are my shock contenders for relegation this season. Their form was shit in the back half of last campaign.

They've bought 5 players already haven't they? If they repeat what they did in 2012 (I think it was 2012) I think they will finished above Spurs

 

[Scum]

I think I'd settle for a decent season where we don't get bummed by Chelsea, City & Pool and where we actually manage to beat West Ham...

Yep. Same here. I just want stability and consistency with a mixture of good, solid football.

 

[Jabo]

Balo linked with Arsenal. Awesome news.

Can't wait for that Wenger x Balo connection.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I don't think Untied-GAF and Yurt-GAF will survive the Vidal scandal.

Too many bridges burnt already.

Dat Ramsey.

 

[Showaddy]

I know Pulis worked wonders with Palace last season but if they don't sign anyone then they've got to be favourites for the drop as well? No way he can keep them up again surely?

 

[shiroryu]

Yep. Same here. I just want stability and consistency with a mixture of good, solid football.

You won't get it with Dawson around, though. At least Suarez isn't around anymore.

They keep buying cheap French exports who have no familiarity with the English game, in the hope they get the new Cabye. Combine that with a pissed off fanbase and an incompetent owner, it could lead to disaster IMO.

Cazorla had a tasty goal too.

Suarez/Sturridge were in Bosscielny's pocket the entire game.

 

[Showaddy]

Yeah Levy please, let Poch have 1 season at least. With no unqualified youth coaches promoted in December...

You won't get it with Dawson around, though. At least Suarez isn't around anymore.

Dawson has reached comedy act status now. 7 give away's in 45 minutes yesterday, I can't imagine him up against a premier league defence again...

I was hoping we'd get Caulker back, but 'Arry's nabbed him. But yeah, I want Dawson to be nowhere near the squad. He's dead on the inside.

Yeah Levy please, let Poch have 1 season at least. With no unqualified youth coaches promoted in December...

I hope he comes to his senses too. Like you said, give the man a full season, at least.

IIRC, Liverpool should have had a blatant pen in the FA Cup game :lol

And yes, Santi's goal was nice.

 

[K1LLER7]

Seems like Hames is trying to force a move to Madrid.

we replied in kind...

Golf commentary is jokes.

Yeah that was contentious.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was a bit naughty :lol.

well, you will, I'm not.

I'll be dead. So who cares really?

He will end up here in Real Madrid. No worries really.

Yep. I think it makes sense to have one for Juve in their memory

The bbc guy really annoys me. He tries too hard. I dunno what his name is but he's been doing it for ages.

I was rolling. Suarez dug his grave though, with that ballerina impression.

I'm kinda sad now; the PL loses a great character.

The Year of Allegri.

Juventus will still challenge for the title under Allegri, so it's not too bad.

 

[Blablurn]

I think Juve is done. Serie B candidate.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Juventus will win the league next year, and get past the group stage of the CL


You can quote me on that

 

[Yurt]

I'm not gonna post my suggestion again because it's too humiliating at this point :lol let's see what the others come up with!

(we all know it's going to be a title no one wants anyway, except if Odd makes it again)

Juventus will still challenge for the title under Allegri, so it's not too bad.

I DONT WANT TO CHALLENGE

I WANT TO WIN IT. IF WE DONT WIN IT THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL GET RELEGATED

WHICH WE'RE GONNA ANYWAY

The squad you have, you're guaranteed to not be relegated lol.

Edit. I just think your progress in the CL will suffer a setback. You'll get past the group but go out in the knock outs. Whilst Conte could have got you to the QFs or Semis eventually.
