Totally Unofficial 2017/18 Premier League Thread (NWT)

[ipitytheblue]

This is going to be the most boring run in ever

1st is decided. 2nd pretty much too. Top 4 squared away
3rd/4th some intrigue for auto CL spot
5th locked
Can't see arse falling behind Burnley

Bottom 3 pretty much decided

Boring

Aren't 3 and 4 both auto CL now?

Did I not get the memo?

My hot take for the day.

There’s something really odd about the fact that United are on course to finish second in the league a year after finishing 6th in the league, and yet there’s so much uncertainty and turmoil surrounding a team that took a big step forward this season. Some of it is the expectations that surround United, some of it is Mourinho’s personality, and of course some of it is the meek surrender to Sevilla. More than anything, however, I think it’s the lack of clarity for how United intend to build a premier league and CL contender. We just don’t know what their plan is and it appears from the outside like they themselves don’t know.

I think the tides have turned and Tottenham are going to start celebrating "Saint Arsenal Day" each year.

 

[wsc8521s]

As long as Kroenke is the owner, prolly

 

[Stormfury]

Who do our Arsenal Deacs want? Surely not Brogers!

 

[BTB]

Seeing some chatter about Patrick Vieira.

 

[Demonbeck]

Ancelotti, Jardim, Low being discussed by folks, as is Arteta.

 

[deacvision7]

Moyes has experience replacing a club icon...

 

[edendeac]

Löw to Arsenal would be amazing. I’m a Cincinnati reds fan as well and they fired their coach yesterday. If only manning could go as well....

Yeah, but as a fellow Alsatian I'd like to throw out an "auf wiedersehen" as well.
