The Official 2023/24 Premier League Thread

Hahah the Reggie deal never made sense, madness TBH.

Evans and Maguire is a madness

Amrabat is the Moroccan Freund, absolutely dodged any bullet if we were ever truly linked.

Mount and Antony are just dross

And I've always been thankful we never signed Fernandes

They are an utter mess

I’m a Northern Ireland fan…but Johnny fudging Evans in the centre of a PL defence in 2013????

 

[Mcfee]

he turned them down not that long ago, they are not in a better place since

I thought the story was that Utd rejected Poch in favour of ETH.

there is no way in the world that happened, they offered me the United job before ETH, they damn well sure offered it to Poch

 

[Lilbaz]

Wasn't poch still at psg when ten hag was appointed?

yeah, but clearly on his way out, United offered that job around for months

So the Sky "Experts" debated who is going to win the League and put their money on City because Liverpool and Arsenal are quite there yet. No mention of anybody else. On the one hand the disrespect p!sses me right off. On the other, while we're under the radar "copying Pep" I'm happy. Roll on Monday, and a under the radar performance against the blue scum.

 

[Jurgen the German]

Also agree with Roy Keane’s comments re Bruno Fernandes. He is not captain material. He’s the opposite of what you want in a captain.

Antony is also a clam btw. What a petulant child.

At the end of the day, their opinions aren't worth a toss. Or what the papers say. Or terry in the pub. All that matters is what happens on the pitch. Don't let anything else tinkle you off.

That Ajax team - or more accurately the individual players within - weren’t as good as they were hyped up to be.

Agree few of the stars they sold have developed into stars at the original buyers and some dont even start games.

• de Ligt
• F de Jong
• Ziyech
• van de Beek
• ten Hag

Have any of them turned out to be as good as hoped?

You could add Onana to that list, but I thought he was poor when we played them.

 

[Dicko]

Remember at the start of the season when they were saying statistically ETH picked up more points in his first season than both Klopp and Pep did in their first seasons... proof that stats can mean fudge all sometimes... everyone bar City and Arsenal (maybe Saudi Sportswashing Machine) was brick last year.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Exactly, that's why I left him out. I only included the players/manager that we would have been excited about signing, at one point or another. I don't follow La Liga/Bundesliga or Serie A enough to know about de Ligt and de Jong, but the other three certainly haven't set the PL alight.

Probably played the game of his PL life keeping MancCity to a 3-0 win at Old Trafford on a day to Honour The Memory of Sir Bobby. One of the few who retained his dignity.

Anthony is a shocking footballer

 

[Chrissivad]

Palhinha couldn't pick up a yellow Vs us when he was kicking our players at every opportunity.

Got a yellow today for what looked like Fernandez kicking him!
