Official Premier League Thread 24/25

Your’re welcome. Over to you, spurs.

chris hughton sacked by brighton.

Holy shit, united LOST to Cardiff yesterday??!?!?!? I didn't even notice that until just now. LOLOLOLOLOLOLESATTHEWHEEL!

United are absolutely proper fucked.

Its not the manager, how many times do they need to change it to realise. They just dont have the players. From a underperforming de gea, to rotund shaw, the hapless Smalling, Instagram Paul, Chunky Rom and his trampoline shins.

They are FOOKING FOOKED. Can see them finishing outside the top 6 next year.

Bring back the Moyeseh.

The manager is shit as well though tbh.

It's a crazy situation with Solskjaer because he started so well, had the team playing good football and got some excellent results.  Then he got the permanent contract and the wheels fell off.  Despite how bad things have gotten, I do think he deserves a chance to try and turn things around.  You have to remember he came into a bad situation when morale was at it's lowest so he had to turn that around.  He also wanted to play in a way that the team hadn't trained for - higher intensity, more pressing.  Under Mourinho, the players were conditioned to play at a much slower pace with far less urgency.  And in terms of players, Ole had to work with what he inherited.

Give him a chance to buy and sell, to have a pre-season with the team and try and get them conditioned and fit so they can cope with the demands of the way he likes the team to play.  Then, if it's not working out next season, take a look at the situation.  But the man deserves a chance.

Utd are indeed in a bad place right now, but the only way is up, surely? I hope Ole tries to sign players who will fit his style of play and have the desire to play rather than just trying to sign big names.

Don't fall for his said little pixie act and his constant cliches about '99, Fergie and referencing the tea lady. He is out of his depth and hasn't got a hope of sorting the problem out.

Hope they keep him on and it's another 6 months before they start sorting shit out.

I look forward to digging this quote up if Utd somehow win the league next season.

He really winds me up Tux. He's such an odd little man.

I find him impossible to hate. Though if I was a united fan I wouldn't want someone that has achieved so little being in charge of the club.

Time to bring in big Sam.

Yeah, same, I really like him. Seems like such a genuine and sincere bloke. I hope he turns it round and goes down in Utd history for the right reasons.

It's all so forced though and obvious. Refusing to park in the manager's spot, out of respect for Fergie, is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. There is an endless list of cliched cringe nonsense he has come out with. It's all too cute.

Then you combine that with the Harry Redknapp school of management. 'Just put good players on the pitch and tell them to run and play attacking football yadda yadda."

Even players desperate to prove Mourinho was the problem at United have stopped playing for him.

The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for Man United.

I look forward to digging this quote up if Utd somehow win the league next season. 

They should just hire me tbh. In my FM2019 game, I've got Utd firing on all cylinders. Top of the league, still in the FA Cup, still in the Champions League, about to win the Carabao Cup. Jones & Smalling gone with Varane & de Ligt now at centre-back and my midfield replenished with the signings of Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes & Reuben Neves.

Part of me wants city to lose on Saturday, just so united has to play in the Europa league in july. Admittedly that part is only about 0.00000001% of me because I *really* want the cup/treble, but...it's there. Not gonna lie, I'm just that petty.

Ole deserves the start of the next season for sure despite the absymal end. Worrying that he agreed to keep on Jones, Young etc though who really need shipping out urgently. He definitely has a preference to homegrown players which is strange given he's Norwegian Problem is, he has nowhere near the class of 92 nor Carrick-Rio-Rooney quality at his disposal. And despite maybe Maguire-Rice-Sancho being realistic and worthy targets, they aren't in that bracket either. Time to rejig the scouting team to discover the next DONG-BEBE-OBERTAN.

ole will start the season and maybe he "deserves" a shot, but realistically i think hes a dud and the longer hes there the longer itll get worse. On a different scale sam allerdyce "deserved" a full season at efc, but to their credit, the board were honest enough to see he wasn't the answer and go for the guy they wanted all along (silva). United should do that with poch if hes the guy they had in mind.

As regards signings theres a lot you should be interested in...wan bissaka, ben chilwell and james maddison as well as the guys youve mentioned.

Kind of pleased City won the league to be honest, about to be exposed as the ultimate cheats in world football, adding a league title to this for dramatic effect should lead to a harsher punishment (based on the laws of probablity at least) yep, I'm definitely pleased.

City are on the verge of being banned from Europe, the premier league will be forced to react as well. Good lord, what a terrible few day's its been for city:

1) Premier league title celebrations quieter than a graveyard - check
2) City Fans attacking sky sports pundits - check
3) City players singing songs about dead people - check (unprecedented levels of cringe)
4) Proven cheaters - impending but check.

Let's be brutally honest here, this is a pretty terrible indictment for football in general. Goodness me. City are not a football club, they're a facade for nation play thingies and nation politics. They've eclipsed Chelsea 10 times over.

City now irk me more than United.

Sully boy, boi, boi, boi, lets get some girls, boy, boy, boy boy.
