who /season over/ here

There's a reason why soccer isn't popular here in the US. It's because only third-worlders watch it, and we ain't third-worlders.
Enjoy your third-world sport, Mohammed.

It really is amazing how badly Southampton's season has tailed off.
Koeman appears to have the same problem Monk did at Swansea: he doesn't have a plan B.
>>64804671
>>64804680
Why do the press get away with posting pure unadulterated shit just because its January?
>>64804700

>>64804721
this is plan B, plan A is hoofing it to Pelle.

>Flopcao to stay at Chelsea
yey
>>64804787
>Well it clearly doesn't work.
worrying about relegation is part of the plan.
>>64804783
will never happen, FA cup is the only trophy >we can win and hiddink will play the strongest team possible then sub on matic for mikel in the 80th minute if we have a 6 goal lead
>>64804680
>according to Germany legend Lothar Matthaus
>>64804783
------------Begovic
Azpi---Zouma--Cahill--Baba
--------RLC-----Matic
Traore----Hazard---Kenedy
------------Bamford
should be more than enough to get through the game, strong defensive unit and very experimental further forward
will be interesting to see who starts up top as Costa shouldn't play this game, Remy is always injured and probably wants away in january, Falcao news has just been announced that Monaco don't want to take him back, but he's probably still "injured"
then there's Traore and Bamford, the latter tricky as i he's in the squad here he's not allowed to be loaned to another team this season iirc
Who /glad to be out of the cup/ here?
>>64804843
Classic Loddar
>>64804855
>dominated by a half strength arsenal
i'd be worried la
>>64804854
>bamford starting
>bamford getting a single minute outside of injury time time wasting
mikel is going to be the starting striker
>>64804861
Eh, they beat our half strength team. Besides, >implying I wasn't already worried, what with being in the relegation zone.
Nordfeldt, Shephard, Amat, Bartley, Tabanou, Cork, Grimes, Shelvey, Emnes, Montero, Gomis.
Kyle Bartley is Swansea captain today...
Remember when we thought Tabanou would be a good signing for swansea? I think I had him in my fantasy team up until like 2 days before the first round
>>64804880
where did it go so wrong for swansea
>>64804870
all the best friend, can't be easy to support Sunderland
>>64804880
Fuck sake, they're resting a good few players then yeah? We're playing them mid-week. Tell Matic to do us a favour and knack Gomis for us? I'll be your friend.
>>64804886
mainly the thinking that Blacker=Better in the striking department since Bony
Emnes, Gomis and Eder are all terrible footballers
>>64804895
swansea are playing oxford
United fan here. Who will we sign?
Really curious who the club will buy in January. And I have a feeling they'll spunk 300m in summer too, trying to chase "muh world class" (neymar/bale) and other squad fillers.
>>64804898
>Marvin Emnes
Why would anyone in the PL even sign him.
He's fucking abysmal.
>oxford starting XI features players number 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 and 11
would have thought 7 9 and 10 would be most popular at most clubs
>>64804922
Perhaps they're resting players.
>>64804915
Why would Neymar or Bale go to Newcastle

Replying
Playing the boys and backups today lads, we literally could not give one shit about this game.

Dyer - Inler - King - Gray
----- Panayiotou - Kramaric -----
Don't bother watching.

>lining up for defeat
Sad
>>64804976
>leicester depth
that team is fucking pathetic
>>64804976
what is a panayiotou? I think okazaki/Ulloa
do you expect any deliberate injuries for the next game?
>>64805013
Scheduled Vardy's operation just so he could miss this.
Mahrez will be on bench, Marc Albrighton could start, he did in the League Cup games.
Morgan has been in top form but is in need of a rest.
I will only be satisfied if Ranieri starts Hamer over Schwarzer today, Schwarzer lost us the game in the League Cup vs Hull.
>>64804976
youre having a laugh pal, Ranieri said it will be a blend of players who deserve some time to play and 'the same mentality'
Panayiotou and Hamer deffo wont start, Benny and Dyer probably wont and Inler might not.
>>64804858
>you now remember Drmic's wife
>>64805019
Dev Squad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNnhCXNnqD8
Every so often he or another youth gets a chance. Chilwell will 100% start today though, need to get him starting so he'll sign his long term contract.
I fully expect Wasilewski to throw some elbows and tactically place his foot in challenges, especially if Kane or Erickson are playing. Wasilewki is perfect at fucking oppositionup.
>>64805065
kek
Loddar back to management when?
>>64805067
I mean.. it could be an interesting angle
and if someone who was supposed to start midweek actually gets injured it only serves to make that game more heated and entertaining
>Spurs v Leicester live on BBC One
night 2bh lads
>>64805057
The same will be Albrighton, maybe Okazaki.
Inler will unless he's being transferred shortly.
>>64805128
>Inler
Been a massive flop.
>tfw oxford supporter
Tell me, do >we have a chance?
>>64805143
He needs to gracefully step down from the NT, and let someone else be captain.

>>64805394
maybe they dont have money for a net either
Who will play as striker for Chelsea? Willian, Oscar, Pedro, or Costa?
>>64805366
Apparently it was supposed to have four stands but only three were built.
They're meant to be having the fourth built at some point: http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/12870467.Kassam_looks_at_finishing_stadium_with_fourth_side_but_with_260_homes_on_car_park/

nothing to do with the units really
>>64805536
British TV weather forecasts started using centigrade in 1962, but there followed a long period in which both systems were used side by side because older generations still thought in Fahrenheit. I remember on TV just 10-20 years ago weathermen on the TV would quote temperatures using both measures. I don't think they do that any more though.
