Season Review pt.2
Well we're halfway through our season review so it's that time of year again! Why-
didn't-you-finish-it-last-time time!
Hull - Predicted 13th - Actual 7th - Steve'Nepotism' Bruce
With only 3 points separating them and 5th place Everton, surely they will have to have a huge dip in form! Vincent Aboukabar however is signing of the season/year/century, with a phenomenal goalscoring record! Whenever he comes up against teams like Chelsea, surely they must look at him and say "Why have we not ruined his career yet by sticking him in the reserves?" Which is a perfectly good question! Meanwhile in Europe, they crashed out of the Europa league after an impressive run, but not quite good enough.
Leicester - Predicted 19th - ACTUAL 2ND - Nigel 'I don't even know how this happened' Pearson
People everywhere have struggled to understand how Leicester, with literally 4 mediocre signings all season (Including Ben 'Shouldn't that be Walkers' Pringle)are second in the league. Yet somehow, Nigel Pearson has guided them to victories against Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea! Without signing Emile Heskey! Maybe he just really likes London. Nevertheless with the likes of David 'THIRD GOALSCORER IN THE LEAGUE???' Nugent leading the front, it shouldn't be long before their season tanks horribly!
Liverpool - Predicted 5th - Actual 9th - Didier 'How am I not fired' Deschamps
After Liverpool literally sold the entire future of their club to Manchester City in exchange for Stevan 'when Stewart Downing scores more then you' Jovetic. As well as bringing in the likes of Joey 'one cup appearance' Barton and Hatem 'woops, I should probably check if he's banned forever' ben Arfa.
Manchester City (Aka $hitty) - Predicted 2nd - Actual 1st - Manuel 'Consecutive community shield's' Pellegrini
Helped in no small part by the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho's name, the other manchester club have given their fans a real Bony watching their performances this season. But, with a premier league title compeltely guaranteeed, will an injury crisis do anything to change the fact Manuel Pellegrini's eyes are sparkilingly beautiful? Probably not!
Manchester United - Predicted -3 - Actual 4th - Louis 'Aloyisus Paulus Maria van Gaal'
After a prediction of finishing -3 in the league, Manchester United (the other manchester club) did not have much weight on their shoulders. After stunning results like a 1-0 defeat at Reading, a 5-0 drubbing by Everton (David Moyes must be partying) and a 3-2 defeat to Burnley, Manchester United fans can be very pleased with their season.
'No signings' Newcastle - Predicted 8th - Actual 10th - Mirko 'Hired because of my name' Slomka
After manager Slomka's ambitious tactics 'Leave the top scorer on the bench, that's a good idea' Newcastle are not doing too badly...? Well, despite rumors their chairman was assassinated by Lizard men they are doing exactly as expected! Which is to say... mediocre.
Queens Park Rangers - Predicted 17th - Actual 19th - Lucien '22% win ratio' Favre
The other London club, QPR have been doing badly. Probably because they have Jo '£18million smile' leading the front line. With a surprising amount of goals (see Mauro Zarate) QPR's season is likely to get much, much worse after
injury to star man Loic Remy. Strangely, Lucas 'I'm way to good for these guys' Romero is still at the club - who have the worst defensive record in the league.
Southampton - Predicted 9th - Actual 18th - Frank 'I never even hired you' Rijkaard
After Great Expectations, apparently selling your best striker is a bad idea. Danny Ings has scored... 2 goals Graziano Pelle, who he was exchanged for has scored 7. Top scorer for the Saints is Spanish wonderkid Munir... who wasn't played in their last game. Oh dear. Sergio Aguero is 4 goals behind outscoring the ENTIRE TEAM. Things do not look good.
Stoke - Predicted 14th - Actual 20th - Kenny Jackett 'Potato'
Unlike Southampton, Stoke's main problem is not so much goals, with wunderkid Carlos Fierro doing work that end. Instead their problem is that fact they have conceded the second most goals in the league, and have the 11 points. They have wisely shored up in defence, but I suspect it is too little, too late.
Sunderland - Predicted 16th - Actual 16th - Gustavo 'Gus the plumber' Poyet
Led by the Virgin of Santiago in defence, the chant "When your best player is Itamuleng Khune you know you're in trouble" has resounded around the Stadium of Light recently. With a poor goalscoring record, it's a wonder that they aren't in the relegation zone.
Swansea - Predicted 11th - Actual 13th - Garry 'Trying to sign the Virgin of Santiago' Monk
Goals are no problem for the swans, with £20million man Charlie Austin coming into form, and Bafatembi Gomis scoring a lot as well. Strangely, however they have Aiden McGeady on 50,000 a week. And he's unregistered. Seems like signing of the ******* millenia if you ask me. Other then that there's Gylfi 'Stupid Tottenham selling me' Sigurdsson dicating the midfield and... Shay Given... on 52k a week... to warm the bench.
Tottenham - Predicted 6th - Actual 7th - Mauricio 'I want to be a real boy' Pinocchio
Although they made some astute summer signings, Tottenham haven't disappointed at all. Instead they've simply been ****. Although it's nice to see some englishmen in their squad - Harry Kane looks good and they have some decent prospects (Also Nathan Redmond on 52k a week, apparently)their decision to sell Emmanuel Adebayor was a very poor one.
West Bromwich Albion - Predicted 10th - Actual 15th - Tony 'God' Pulis
Despite the fact they literally have Tony Pulis managing them, West Brom have disappointed. Although they made some decent signings, the exits of Carlton Cole and Claudio Yacob have clearly impacted their squad. With Victor Anichebe, despite only starting 1 game as their top goalscorer with 5, perhaps Pulis should Bless someone else with his expansive knowledge. (for some reason Brown Ideye never moved to them, and plays in Qatar)
West Hamwich United - Predicted 12th - Actual 12th - Brendan 'fall from grace' Rodgers
With Brendon Rodger's attacking style of football and experience as Liverpool manager, what could go wrong! Quite a lot, apparently as that 'attacking' football has yielded the joint least goals in the league, and Emmanuel Adebayor. At least Stewie Downing is doing well...?
I have not received any deals involving Southampton so far.sorry that this was a bit rushed - very short lunch break. Am I right in saying that Southampton don't have any deals set up that I have to worry about?
Wait, Giacherrini and Vergini have left - see Oh, and a couple of other things to take note:
LeedsUnitedAndProud (Sunderland) , Murley (West Brom) , Rootsey (Crystal Palace), and Eoin McG (Southampton) and, of course me are all NEW chairman of their respective clubs. Because of this the transfer window has been extended by 3/4 days (it depends when borne/the players send me transfers). All foreign transfers from the new chairmen's clubs have been canceled. All C2C remain in place.
I let you cancel the loans of Balanta and Markovic because both chairmen had agreed to it.
Yeah, I've had people say something similiar - perhaps some people did not read that post. Essentialy, I'll allow you to cancel if both chairman agree to it. In this case, however Burnley did not want to withdraw.Have they :S A chairmen messaged me that he had something agreed but wondering whether I still wanted to do business
