Other football - 2017/18 edition.

[Jairzinho]

Januzaj has been fucking dreadful for Real Sociedad.

[A_S]

You can take the manager out of Everton...

[karl1987]

Nainggolan and Origi both dropped from Belgium's squad. Chadli and Januzaj both selected though.

 

Even Benteke is going haha.  

[Josef Svejk]

Nainggolan? Seriously?

[RazorBack]

Milinkovic-Savic is a ridiculous player. Hope he stays at Lazio, do not want to see this guy in England. 

 

Not even at LFC?

[Trumo]

Not even at LFC?

 

Not if he does about as well as all the other Serbian players we've signed.

[Trumo]

No Icardi in the Argentina squad. I'd have put him in ahead of Higuain.

[SasaS]

Is Conte defo leaving if he becomes Italy's PM?

[aRdja]

[Red House]

Emery - New Arse manager

 

EDIT: Well, nevermind.

[RobbieOR]

That's a really bad appointment. Good news.

[WhiskeyJar]

Explain.

[Harry Squatter]

Where's the Arteta job?

Emery would win the league at Celtic

[El Rojo]

That’s an underwhelming appointment.

 

Surprised he was considered for any job other than collecting shopping trolleys from wasteland around some dismal satellite town after PSG’s capitulation against Barcelona last year.

[3 Stacks]

Emery is a complete change in style from Wenger. Much more counter attacking. It probably fits the current squad better. I don't think it's a bad appointment, but it's pretty safe and I don't think it's all that ambitious.

Pirlo's testimonial live on sky....an obscene amount of talent on show

He will fit in well at arsenal then.

[WhiskeyJar]

Where's the Arteta job?

Got shafted.

 

Arsenal have gone cold on Mikel Arteta at the eleventh hour - and are set to give the job to Unai Emery.

 

Club officials met with Arteta last week and by Friday the former Arsenal captain believed he was going to get the job.

 

But Arsenal began to go quiet over the weekend and then former Paris Saint-Germain boss Emery flew into London for talks on Monday.

 

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis is now in negotiations with Emery and the 46-year-old Spaniard is now expected to be unveiled in the next 48 hours.

 

It is an incredible blow for Arteta - who is on Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff at Manchester City - as he is believed to have interviewed well and discussed a contract.

Terrific watch as well this 4-2 to the blues after 35 mins...Cafu just scored a cracker.

[an tha]

8 goals in first half.

[RobbieOR]

Explain.

 

His away record isn't that good, been a bit of a disaster outside Spain, he doesn't speak English, he fell out with the players at PSG who had big egos (see Aubamayeng and Ozil), his football isn't that good to watch and the Arsenal fans don't seem to want him.

 

They need someone with a lot of clout behind them or a younger man that can get the fans onside and he is neither. 

 

He won't be finishing in the top 4 with them anyway.

So good summary on Arteta - what about the other fella?

[Rorschach08]

Ibrahimovic sent off for LA Galaxy for giving out a slap.

 

USA refs officially not as shit as ours.
