Right but honestly do you expect Vann gal will be there next year? I dont after the game today I wouldn't be suprised if he was released . I kinda expect them to sign Jose Marino and Ibra. I personally would love to see ibra in the epl where ever he goes. Just as long as its not the MLS which is probably gonna happen in the next two years if its not this year. I'm in the U.S. and I fucking hate the MLS, its really just turning into a retirement home for old European stars. MLS is a joke.

a few of us yanks like the EPL too .

i know Leicester winning is a huge upset. money can't buy everything.

isn't Newcastle getting relegated also surprising? i thought they were normally at least a decent team?

they havent really been a decent team for some yrs now, had a few good seasons back in the 90s but 5th place with alan pardew as manager was there best in more recent yrs, although they are one of the most loved and supported team in the prem by there fans,

aston villa have been heading towards relegation for a couple of yrs now but they really shouldnt have been relegated what with the size of the club and the fan base etc.

hats of to the likes of Watford and Bournemouth tho for surviving the prem.

and also burnley for getting promoted after just a season in the championship, as a spurs fan its been a very mixed season had so much promise but we fluffed it yet again but still champ league footy next yr and one of the best squads and manager we have had in a very long time, i really think spurs young players will make a big difference for England at the euros ali,kane,dier,rose etc

Yes, sadly I do think Van Gaal will still be around next year. For some reason Woodward and the rest of the suits have confidence in him. I do NOT think they will go for Mourinho, who has never left a club in good shape, has NO track record with developing young players and tends to foster a fairly toxic environment.

If they win the FA Cup at the weekend it would be even harder for me to see Van Gaal leave. Feels like the club is grooming Giggs for 2018.

MLS is not even worth discussing :spew:

no way the rest the squad is average at best and ibra is getting old now prob one or 2 at most season at a top level left and thats without him ever playing at the intensity of the epl, reckon he will be another falcao or shevchenko in the prem but we will see....

Ibra is a big gamble. He'll want crazy wages and he probably only has a year left at the top level, if that in the EPL. They should just play Martial up front - the kid has so much talent.

I don't think LVG is getting the best out of his squad, and I'm not sure Mourinho tactics will necessarily improve them. They missed the boat with Pep.

i hope Leicester will do good again next season and surprise all those claiming it to be a one-off, they should keep hold of most there players this season, well the likes of drinkwater,kante,vardy and the defense if morgan n huth stay fit they got another good season in them.

top 6 and a good run in the champions league, then the following year season lose all there top players who want a new challenge,bigger club etc and back to normality ....

I'm sure ibra will want alot of money but he's only looking for a one year contract in the epl before he goes to the MLS, I think he will still be at the top of his game for two more seasons, I dont think it would be a bad idea for man u to pursue a one year contract with ibra . Man u has alot of potential given the right manager. As far as martial I truly enjoy watching him I think he's gotta bright future ahead. . Truth be told we may not get to see ibra in the epl tho which is disappointing BC I would love to see him compete

You guys think any team will try to sign ibra in the epl to give a run at the title, or any team in the champions league next year try to get him for a run

Definitely not City :lol:

I think he'd demand too much in wages for his age and lack of experience in England...So I guess he'll go to Chelsea.

Really only Chelsea, City, or Utd could reasonably afford his wages.

I have a feeling Costa will leave in the summer, so Chelsea is a good bet. Utd will throw all their resources (again) at a top 4 finish, Rooney is playing is midfield now, so they have room for another ST. I'd love to see Zlatan in the league. Even at his age, I can see him scoring a hatful of goals.

When Zlatan was a kid and his parents got scared, they would sleep in his bed at night.

so give me an idea what it costs to go to a match in the UK.

2 tix to Old Trafford-- ?
2 pints of beer in stadium -- ?
2 bags of crisps -- ?

is it like America where you have to take out a loan to go to a game nowadays?

I'm only guessing from what I've read over recent years, but I'd say about 50 pounds per ticket, around 4 pounds for a pint and another 4 pounds for a pie. Oh and you can't drink that pint in stands...

The way it usually goes for Mourinho:

1st season - challenge for title
2nd season - win title
3rd season - sacked

He's a short-term fix to get them back into the Champs League. Their sponsors won't be too happy with another season outside the top 4.
