Rhian Brewster is very highly regarded striker and could come in as the 4th choice striker currently filled by Sturridge. He was on the bench against Barca. Ben Woodburn has stalled but is also one of promise - he's a winger or CAM role.Quote:

Ki Jana-Hoever is a right back, Dutch, who can also play CB. Very young and played in FA Cup against Wolves. Big future but unlikely for next season. Rafa Camacho is a left winger, plays at left back too, whose name gets thrown around.
Oxlade-Chamberlain will be like getting a new player again. I think Liverpool missed him this season - he offers something a bit different than the others who are more "workman-like"
None others quite jumping out at me off the top of my head.
Milner wasn't a guaranteed starter anyway, he came in for specific jobs/games. Their 1st team doesn't need work. They just need depth. Ox, is depth in 3 positions they didn't have this year.Quote:

If he loses to the Spuds he should get sacked anyway just for the hell of it!
Winning the league cup is how Jose gave his squad the winning feeling and made them hungry and desperate for it againQuote:

On.another note I am hoping these things happen
Arsenal win the Europa
Spuds win the UCL
Can you imagine the burn if Chelsea and Liverpool win sweet **** all this season between them and Spuds are the Champions of Europe after not spending a £ in the off season
The lulz will be epic if this happens
This is the first time I have agreed with anything you have said.Quote:

my neutrality is bending towards Leeds, purely because having Bielsa in the premier league would add even more hilarity to the managerial circus
Never liked Leeds much but the Premier League will be a much better place having them in the Top Flight than notQuote:

I've kind of blocked the John Terry thing out
it's impossible to judge a team fairly with such an outlier
this is why in statistics we often use median instead of mean - the sheer ****ishness of Terry would throw out Villa's ****itude score making it impossible to watch the game with anything approaching neutrality
Neutrality is for nice people and accountants.Quote:

Why would he care if Villa get promoted or not??Quote:

how can you want those other 2 scumbags to win?
besides, Derby played a really fun style of football today. All out attack and they've got some real quality in there.
and Mr Boz, the number 7 kid is a Liverpool loanee. Hes good, you should be wanting him to succeed so they either call him back up or sell him for many monies.
seriously lads, please rethink this pro-gypo stance you are on here. its not a good thing.
we have no choice over this
the heart hates what it hates
plus, this is about who in our respective social media circles would be the least painful were they to win
Bang onQuote:

Go Derby it is
can one of you lot fill me in on the Lampard hate? (is it Lampard hate coz i cant see how you'd be hating on Derby).Quote:

He is just a w@#k of a bloke and he wasn't as good as people make him out to be. Watch him play in an England Jersey and you can see how mediocre he really was when relied upon. 10 world cup games, zero goals or assists. And you can't say he didn't have anyone decent playing in the team with him. He was a very good player, but he isn't a Scholes, Viera, Keane, Makelele level midfielder.Quote:

Side note: If Villa get promoted that Gypo won't be with them. He doesn't even play for them now, other than penalty shootouts. He has started 2 games since October last year. So I can take him out of the Villa situation in my own mind. I just assume Elmohandy grew his beard longer and can't run anymore.
Yeah over 10 seasons in the prem scoring over 10 goals and loads of assists as a midfielder means nothing? And you using the world cup as an example also shuns Gerrard and Scholes as they never had good world cups. Also the other players you mentioned play a different midfield role and comparing them is stupid. Compare Lamps to other attacking or further advanced midfielders and he slaughters almost all of them.Quote:

Lampard does not deserve to have the name of his legendary dad.
Good player but a khunt.
man oh man. ive missed this whole Lampard hatefest. never knew it existed.
always thought he was a real good player, and did nothing outside of football to really set off any alarms.
is it true hes a legit genius though? always was told that, and if so, trust me, those type of dudes are always the weirdest most socially awkward group of mother****ers you'll ever know.
still though, whatever you blokes have labelled him as still doesnt get anywhere near being a racist shitbag or a gypo.
Caaarrrnnn Derby.
Yeah he has a really really high IQQuote:

Villa should be in the Premier League, so should other big clubs
but the thing is, and this probably happens for most of us, I feel that the clubs who were in the top flight when I first got into football (around the time of the change to the Premier League), should be in the Premier League now - your Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry, Leeds etc
David Squires actually goes on about this feeling in one of his books, only he says it in a way that's clearer and far funnier than the way I just did - if I could be bothered I'd look through them and find it
