Yes it is pretty funny when the opposition is disappointed to come away from old Trafford with just a draw

:rolleyes: Do me a favour, after watching every home game at OT for the past three years I deserve to find that amusing. :p:

atkinson needs retiring, he seems to have a major cock up every time I watch him.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Sadly he will be at the European Championship this summer.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Despite being a long time West Ham supporter I'd love to see Leicester win the title. They've played great football and haven't got anywhere near all the financial backing of the biggest clubs who can effectively buy success. IMHO it'd be great for the Premiership to see a club from virtually nowhere take the top spot and if they carry on in the same vein, stay there next season.

Well done Leicester. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes it certainly would be great for the game if a relatively small club in the Premiership could topple the so called mighty giants of the English game.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Agreed Den. What'd also be nice is if their top players stay loyal to the club/fans and refuse to move to the highest bidder come transfer time. It'll be interesting to see how many do.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Sadly l expect at least 3 or 4 of their best players to leave as the big clubs come hunting with their cheque books.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I think they might surprise you in the main

That is of course if the tinker man remains, as for the others marhez is the only one the big Spanish clubs will be after and he'll have to decide if he wants to sit on their bench. I think the others will stay if the boss does as the English teams that come in for them most likely won't have champions league football to offer.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Raneiri is the key I think to if our squad stays together.

Vardy wont leave, mahrez and kante are the one's I am mainly worried about been tempted.

Currently mahrez's agent says he wants to stay.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well we shall see TD in the summer as if players are offered twice as much elsewhere as they are getting currently then their loyalty will be tested.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well Man City's manager in waiting is going to have to earn his corn in the next 45 minutes if he is not going to end up a comparative failure compared to the previous manager at Bayern Munich.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well obviously Bayern have underestimated their opponents which is very dangerous in the game of football.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Game on now.

Well whatever he said it seems to have done the trick, great game to watch as a neutral .

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I'm pretty certain Vardy won't leave either but I don't believe it's due to loyalty.

There's a reason Harry Kane is still with Spurs rather than being with a bigger club after his performance last season. Spurs just knew how to get the best out of him as he's developing but this year other teams have got a better idea of how to deal with him. He's still a good player but this season he's been a lot less remarkable. Had he gone to United, City, Chelsea etc he'd be around different players with different tactics and playing styles so even more potential for failing to perform like last year.

I can't see Vardy being any different, he'll still score some important goals for Leicester next season but likely another flash in the pan player who for a season was in the right team with the right tactics at the right time.

As such I can't see him leaving, any side that hasn't won the PL would be regarded as a step down but none of these clubs are likely to risk paying big money (if Leicester were stupid enough to let him go they'd only consider a ridiculously inflated amount) for an almost-30 year old player with an unproven career history.
