English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 1851 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I know this is supposed to be a joke/troll but it's true, even Mourinho's brand of football is going to look Cruyff-esque compared to the crap we've been served the past two seasons. (I'll still be moaning about the bus park in ~september though)

Not meant as a joke or troll at all, but sometimes the truth is just funny.

Narratives are good and all and I wouldn't want to break the fun but Mourinho's teams have average like 75 goals in the league while winning said leagues whereas LVG's team has scored 49 goals this season, that's one more than Sunderland.

Mourinho would improve United into premiership title contenders.

Really hope LVG gets another year to prevent this situation!

Long live LVG.

something like this has been poasted b4 but worth mentioning again imo:

table if all woodwork hits had gone in

Arsenal 70 pts
Man City 70
West Ham 70
Leicester City 69
Liverpool 67
Southampton 66
Man Utd 64
Spurs 62
Everton 60

location of the last two teams = nice illustration that the line between managerial genius and idiocy is the width of a poast

Mou spending bucket loads and failing at Utd will be so tremendously delicious

july 7th

if it wasnt clear by now: i think lvg-> mou will matter as much or as little as mun's success in the xfer markt this summer.

whether mun will improve stylistically is another matter, but why some of the munites are convinced that going from the cat food they're currently eating to the gruel which mourinho will serve up is something to get excited about is anyone's guess. i guess everything is relative.

I'd say most of them are rather certain that it cannot get any worse than the hoofball they were served for most of this season.

Mourinhoaids failing at United would be so good, although he will probably deliver a title by master bus parking. Looking forward to the cluster **** he will leave in his third season though. How any logical fan could want that prick in charge of your football club I'll never know.

I saw mou at the o2 earlier, instead of Wembley. Not a great sign

top 4 odds for next year, gonna be a fun one. at least one of the big 4 v likely to miss out again.

a reminder that if mun miss out on CL next year they lose something like £157.5m on the adidas deal. unfortunately it'll take relegation for the chevy deal to be negatively impacted, although with mourinho's track record of taking money teams into relegation fights anything is possible

Tso doesn't really deserve europa after this season and he'll probably try to win it. Really, it's only a couple of extra games than the CL and the destinations aren't so wild as we believe they were before, just no financial incentives and about a 10-1 (5,000-1 when Sevilla arrive) shot at qualifying for the CL. I wonder if we finish above them whether he'll point out our 38 game season as a reason? Because he certainly can't use the quality of our squad as one.

Got round to watching the highlights of the cup game which make it look great. Thought I was going to be upset at the result but then I saw a white person dance.

Yeah, congrats United.

I'd say Pardew is regretting that dance now, but he definitely doesn't strike me as a man capable of feeling shame.

Shoehorning EBJT into the lineup and forcing 40 yards between Cesc and the defense isn't going to help either

The most depressing thing about the FA Cup Final was Rooney having an ok game. This means he will start every game for England, spraying the ball out wide at will, whilst the commentators masturbate furiously.
