Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

If Chelsea had the same owners as Utd and Arsenal, Lampard would still be our manager and Kante and Rudiger would be on the bench

Thank God we have a serial winner in charge

Whatever

The next time United or Arsenal win a major title. People will actually care.

sounds very american.

that is not how footy works.

EDIT: just in case

let's look at 3 of what...? the top 5 - 10 managers in the world.

pep
conte
zidane

what did they "win big" before being given their respective chance at top level clubs like real, barca and juve no less?

you look at the person, their knowledge, the teams performance and you don't give them golden handcuffs.

flick at the remaining super-club won nothing "big" before bayern.

Hans-Dieter Flick - Wikipedia

There's nothing "American" about that post. Don't know where you got that idea. People with no previous head coaching or managerial experience at historically successful clubs get hired to manage them all the time in our leagues.

Espirito Santo left Wolves in part because he didn't want to pull an Eddie Howe, so I hope a club on the come up takes a chance on him. Crystal Palace seems like a lateral move even if Roy Hodgson left them in decent shape.

Navas being done dirty again

He’d get so much more respect if he was European.

Arsenal should make a move, just like they should with Abtonio Conte but we a joke club

We're getting Onana, kinda excited by that.

Hope his ban gets overturned. Huge fan of dude.

Scherpen played well in his absence and Ajax signed another young promising keeper, so it should work out alright for them.

I want to say its 4231 but it could easily be 3421

or from one of the big south American countries, brazil, Argentina or Uruguay ...if he was Mexican, espn in spanish would be riding him something serious

Everton want Moyes back? He'd be foolish to go back.

I’ve always liked that England numbers their player by position in the first 11

GK at No 1, striker at no. 9, AMF at no. 10 etc.

Because they don't have enough attacking options with all the European Finalists being rested.
