English Premier League '16-'17 Discussion - Part 12

Firenze wrote:lol, he's right though, unreal match, they played like Prime Barca vs you but we literally had 2 moments where we defended in the entire game besides set pieces, we were in their half for legit 90 mins

unbelievably frustrating match, Pulis is the GOAT bus parker

i think Moutinho is jealous that someone is a better bus parker than him

I didn't, I try to always play it safe and stick with what I know. Mostly Serie A and CL. Every once in a while with PL if the odds are really good and it looks interesting, but mostly outside of Italy I look to the big teams in Spain to boost my multis since those are super reliable.

Mou complaining about anti football gives me such a karma boner

Arsenal have lost once in 19 games against Manchester City at Emirates (12-6-1).

Meh, Pep is the only manager in the league who is a bigger fraud than Wenger so we might actually get something here.

2-2 prediction

You thought planes pulling banners was funny?

Well, we now have a protest van.

ffs

Arsenal are going to get smashed I'm afraid

Wenger will have to wait a little longer to announce his contract renewal

i went for a 2-2 in my predictor game but I now think arsenal will win 3-1

Pep: "Finishing top 4 is like winning titles; there's so many strong teams. To do it 20 years in a row? I don't know if it can happen again"

he's right you know

Wenger is GOAT

Unreal

Pep has even more in common with Wenger than i realized

4th is like a trophy meme in 2017

I wasn't wrong when I compared Pep to Wenger

Actually, these are two very interesting and watchworthy press conferences by two great managers



Wenger says he believes Özil and Alexis want to stay, and I believe him



Pep in very good spirits and talkative

LOL at the English journo's "we don't actually care that much about the CL as the PL is the biggest prize" question

Riiiiiiight

Arsenal 3-0 City.

You heard it here first

I'd have gone with a 1-2 City win had Jesus been playing

I know we mess up against the scrub teams and there are no easy games but looking at that run in klopp and the players have to fancy themselves to get a top 4 finish.

Gabriel Jesus

Liverpool's form depends on how soon we can get Mane, Henderson and Lallana back.

I know. but if we don't get top 4 looking at that I will rant about it for 3 days and nights.

Liverpool are like Riquelme: GOAT against top teams, meh against small ones. It's a mentality problem.

jesus christ Pool's run in

100% top 4 confirmed now that we're reduced to a youth team while having to play in europe too

Nah it's a not very good unless you give them space problem.

In other words they are very definition of pretenders.

Team news

Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Xhaka, Coquelin, Walcott, Ozil, Welbeck, Sanchez. Subs: Gibbs, Gabriel, Giroud, Iwobi, Martinez, Elneny, Maitland-Niles.

Man City: Caballero, Fernandinho, Stones, Otamendi, Clichy, Jesus Navas, De Bruyne, Silva, Sane, Sterling, Aguero. Subs: Bravo, Kompany, Zabaleta, Nolito, Kolarov, Delph, Toure.

Referee: Andre Marriner (West Midlands)


Otamendi means maybe Arsenal can win this after all

Also:
That City team

Jesus Navas, De Bruyne, Silva, Sane, Sterling, Aguero

5 attackers not enough, now Pep is going for 6 ?!

Team would be GOAT if we had the other Jesus....

6 attacker, some FIFA level shit right here

Pep knows we are going to concede a goal so may as well go all out...

if Liverpool get top 4 and you lot finish 6th I'm going to destroy you.

you couldn't destroy a wet paper bag, top 4 should be expected for you since you had no europe or deep cup runs
