Multi-function 2017/2018 football thread

So that's Celtic in with 2 of the top 4 teams in Europe in their CL group. Should be a piece of p*ss to get into the latter stages

Same for us also. Still never expected to get beyond the groups.

Spurs have got a tough draw, Chelsea difficult. Man U and Liverpool seems to have got relatively easy groups

Spurs deserve to suffer.

I rather thought they suffered enough last Sunday!

Spurs deserve to suffer.

Jack

I'm in complete agreement with you Jack.

 

[tqineil]

Spurs should be able to beat Dortmund I think?

why does anyone or entity deserve to suffer?

Juventus are after Cahill and Barca are trying to get Willian. It would be a real shame if those two went. The Brazilian was easily the team's best player in 2015.

If Cahill leaves we won't have an Englishman in the first team.

In the interim Chelsea want Oxlade-Chamberlian to put in a transfer request to misery mush Wenger.

The Ox is hardly going to strengthen Chelsea or put the fear into anyone else. Seems quite unambitious a target. Maybe they really aren't being allowed to spend?

 

[jackbarron]

He can be really good, but hasn't been consistent. He's 23 years old and Conte could help to develop him into an excellent player.

we somehow ended up with one of the top players in the world here in toronto and the team is doing very well again this year:

delightful free kick here:

vuk.

Who would that be Vuk? Couldn't see anyone notable on this list:

i guess that's because you don't see much of the north american game over there.

Well there was an American forward who failed to make much of an impression on the Premiership when he tried, and an Italian who's had a couple of seasons in a decent leagueback in about 2009. Am I missing something?

Best players in the world? Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Aguero... Don't see anyone like that rocking up for Toronto FC.

I think you're making the same mistake that Americans make when they call their national league a World Series. Most of those players would be second division in Europe or South America.

Feeling rather jealous of Everton at the moment:

 

[lordsummit]

Ahhh, he slipped and shinned it

 

[tqineil]

sounded like the commentator didn't know who scored until advised

 

[Weekender]

Ahhh, he slipped and shinned it

You can get 10/1 on Everton finishing top four...hmm.

Why do you persist with this anti-Scottish sh*te when you have found it necessary to apologise for it in the recent past?

Looking on the brighter side, Man City will be relieved to avoid Celtic in the CL this season.
