I actually have no doubt in my mind that Klopp is going to win the PL with Liverpool next season, or the season after that
Fucking hell
>>63984839
It wasn't so saint like giving liverpool false hope.
Vardy is going to score 33 goals this season.
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/dec/04/jamie-vardy-leicester-city-interview
Vardy confirmed greatest ever working class hero
>>63984780
who /dreadstheweekends/ here?
Is Vardy now a bigger meme than KANE was last season?
How long until Neymar goes to City for 100m?
>>63985113
I'm looking forward to it m8
Real talk, lads. Are Spurs title contenders?
They've been consistent as fuck, beat the big teams now,p and play great football.
On one hand, I like the idea of it for parity and we haven't seen it before.
On the other hand, it's fucking Spurs. I don't want a Jew club winning the league.
>>63985288
Well I'd say at least 5 years after he signs his contract with Manchester United.
Can't see why he'd want to go to City after that though. He'd probably just go back to Brazil.
Bit of an odd question m8.
Vardy or Lukaku as captain boys?

>>63985374
>Real talk, lads. Are Spurs title contenders?
No, it's just that time of year again
>beat the big teams now
Eh hardly
>Beat city at home
>Drew with a struggling chelsea at home
>Drew with a Liverpool who'd only just got new manager + had no strikers at home
>Drew with Arsenal away
>Lost to Man Utd away
>Drew with Everton at home
They're not exactly great results, passable at best. They beat 1 team, and have played most of their big home games
They've still got Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton away
>>63985417
Pelle was suspended last week and Kane/Spurs are starting to look good.
>>63985424
Doh remove Arsenal away.
Anyway, they'll finish 5th or 6th as usual when push comes to shove
>>63985424
Chelsea were gaining back their form, Liverpool had new manager syndrome and Arsenal got the most undeserved draw of the season.
They were pretty good results desu
>>63985343
pls be gentle
don't humiliate >us too much
>>63985439
>Chelsea were gaining back their form
Not really, they beat some Israeli pub team and scraped past Norwich
>Liverpool had new manager syndrome
That was probably Liverpool's worst away performance under Klopp. They had an injury crisis and couldn't play his system yet.
I mean they're not bad results obviously, but they're not really great, definitely not the results of title contenders.
Unless they can go Etihad, Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Goodison and start winning
>>63985393
I'd go with Vardy because of your counterattacking point. Swans fans will not be happy if their team sits deep.
>>63985473
As a Swans fan, I'd be happy for us to sit deep and get a draw or try to nab a win.
I wouldn't want >us to go to far forward and give Leicester the room to counter us, particularly given we probably won't score with the shite we have up front.
>>63985511
I think the general fan, who is used to seeing their team have lots of possession, will not be happy with a park the bus approach
>>63985511
>As a Swans fan
are you above, equal, or lower than 190cm in height?
>>63985546
Lower.
>>63985541
Probably, but if we do they'll fucking murder us so I'm staying as hopeful as possible that we won't.
While keeping Vardy captained for my own fantasy team, of course.
Stoke 0-2 Manchester City
Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland
Manchester United 3-1 West Ham

>>63985374
Spurs have too much of a small club mentality to win it they will go to bits at some point in the season and finish 5th
>>63985713
He just doesn't seem like the type of guy Roman would want back after his previous stint, AND current form.
If Mou was to be replaced he would already be gone, and the fact that he is still there says to me that nobody good enough is ready.
Same situation with City desu, Pellegrini should have gone over the summer but no alternative was ready.
>>63985667
>wanting Mou out of the PL with Pep incoming
No fun allowed
>this captcha
>>63985374
No, unless one of their players becomes world class overnight. Nobody, especially Spurs fans, thinks that they're title contenders. They're looking pretty good for 3rd or 4th though.
>>63985424

united are absolutely hilariously shit right now, you literally dont have a goal scorer and you keep scraping shitty undeserved wins
unless something magical happens (and no, signing some shit striker from fulham wont solve your issues) united are going to struggle to stay in top 4
>>63990699
wow buddy, do you realise how mad you are right now?
There are too few relegation spots in my opinion.
>>63990707
not mad, excited
how do i work this shit out lads?
too many of my players have good looking fixtures and I can't figure out who to bench or captain. I really want to try a cheeky pelle captain just to stand out from the crowd, but maybe benching the fucker and playing a safe vardy is better? surely southampton can't avoid beating villa but I watched soton-liverpool and I don't think I've ever seen a player be as invisible as pelle was
ayew is bench material but I have to find room for barkley, ditching one of my defenders despite their fixtures, maybe moreno?

>>63990751
>manure
I think United could be alright if they played this
>>63991118
Or something like this
I'm not sure why LVG ditched that 433 formation that worked so well in the latter period of last season. Surely it must be better than having 2 defensive midfielders sitting deep for 90 minutes.
>>63990699
if they finally permabench rooney and stop playing with two holding/defensive midfielders they'll finally score again
>>63991200
since they don't have any good wide player
>>63991602
Could work. Would rely on Shaw and Darmian to provide width, and Darmian's attacking game needs work.
>tfw you dread watching ManYoo this morning, not because you're afraid they'll lose, just because you know it's going to be boring as shit AGAIN.

Ohhhh m8. Odds reflect one thing; where the money is going. And where the money is going comes down to who has the most delusional fans.
Look at it like this... a bookies in Merseyside will have Liverpool at lower odds than a bookies in Norwich, because the scouse bookies know there'll be lots of money put down no matter what the odds.
Or do you think that England are one of the favourites at every international tournament because our odds are low?
They're experts at knowing what teams get the most money. They're experts at knowing that scousers are idiots.

No way he manages that unless he gets bought by a bigger team in January. Maybe if he moves to Chelsea, he'd be first choice there, Mou would love him for his work rate and he could be the catalyst for their season turning round.
>>63997284
Not as good as what?
He can score goals and does.
