Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Hope to see Newcastle back in the PL next year though. A team that shouldn't be down there. I remember when Newcastle were a decent time in the top half of the table (like 10/15 years ago, before Pardew did it for a season).
Would also like to finally see Leeds back as well.
Glad Sunderland are seemingly going down, kind of bored of their nonsense each season. Maybe relegation will wake them up and push on but this constant escaping of the drop only to invest nothing in the team yet somehow just escape the drop again is getting stale. It's quite clear their board don't respect or care about the Premier League so they might as well vacate their spot for someone who really wants it.

That must be the most frustrating thing for the fans and I'd fear relegation more as a Sunderland fan than any other club because the current ambition from above suggests we won't see them back up for some time.
I'd like to see the Arsenal of Highbury that were amazing to watch whomever you supported, Thierry Henry was sensational. That was an amazing era of the league.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Congratulations to Brighton on their promotion to the Prem.
Another team from the South
Well done to your home team Den on getting promoted to league one.
In other news a team from Hampshire can look forward to a season in the third division.

Well me too.
I think that was a moment in time we won't see again. For one that Arsenal team were so far ahead of others in terms of fitness and strength, which is bizarre to think of now. When Wenger first came in he did come into a culture which had become rather slacking.
I want the FIFA series of games to bring back classic era teams, with classic stadiums and kits. Would be fun to play a game of the Arsenal '02 team vs the United '99 team and so on.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Actually to be mathematically correct Brighton aren't GUARANTEED promotion but I wouldn't bet against them.

Nice to see Brighton nearly back in the big time personally.

Actually we've won the richest game in football, I'd say that's of note, certainly more noteworthy than a pre season friendly

Your memory is about as bad as your team.
FA Cup 1983 and 1985, Fergies first trophy 1990 FA Cup Now by my maths I make that 15 years, how long is since the scousers won the league, 27 years and counting.
Since Fergie left, an FA Cup and a League Cup whilst Liverpool once again won nothing.

But you have to be such a poor team that you get relegated every five or six years to win that.

Yes some of us can only dream about being a good enough team to win the charity shield, is that the competition the hammers took so seriously we put Bobby Moore in goal for or was that the league cup final. You'd have thought other utd fans would be equally chipper about winning it but they all seem to have deserted the forum like rats leaving a sinking ship, your the only one left, which is credit to you actually.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Ah, dear old Bobby Moore, I remember seeing him score a stunning headed goal at Boundary Park. I think he was playing for Fulham at the time, such a pity it was in his own net.
As a United fan since the late 1950's who actually goes to Old Trafford, I have seen enough ups and downs not to get upset by recent events.
I also enjoy the banter and gentle ribbing, as long as it stays civilised and doesn't descend into rudeness and personal insults.
