Arsenal Update

View attachment 151737

Arsene Wenger retired at the top having just won a domestic double. He was replaced by Marcelo Gallardo and so far it's proved to be a poor decision. The form so far this season has been poor.

Current season highlights include the opening day win against Chelsea and the World League Super Cup triumph against Bayern. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has started this season well but the form of other players has been a massive concern.

The current 3 match losing streak needs to be rectified quickly if Arsenal are to retain their title.

Ron Weasley has today released a list of players surplus to requirements. Please message me if interested.

Paris Saint-Germain club statement:

View attachment 151622
​
Today, the club has announced that manager Laurent Blanc has been sacked with immediate effect. The French legend managed a somewhat decent run in November but it wasn't enough for the PSG chairman as he will pay the former centre-back 6.4 million pounds in compensation. Bernard Arnault has opted for a big name to replace him who left a big European club not too long ago and was therefore a free agent:

View attachment 151621
Dutch legend Louis Van Gaal has taken over at the club immediately and will have his first game in charge against Arsenal on the 1st of December 2016 as he'll be hoping to take the French giants to the next level and hopefully higher up the table after an awful start to the season.

December update

Matchday 13

View attachment 151618View attachment 151617​

The first Madrid derby came today on matchday 13 as Real Madrid lost 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon. Sevilla got an impressive victory against Bayern away from home and Barcelona managed the same against Inter. Valencia and Manchester City drew 1-1 in a disappointing game, just like Leverkusen and Chelsea as well as Corinthians and Tottenham as the Brazilian side got a last minute equaliser. Dortmund and Manchester United drew 2-2 as well as Lukaku saved the Red Devils a point. Finally, PSG got an impressive win against Arsenal as Sane scored one of his first goals for the club and Sanchez's and Oxlade-Chamberlain's efforts were cancelled out by 2 goals from Cavani.

Arsenal continued their winless run following a loss to PSG by drawing against Real Madrid whilst Benfica won 3-1 against Benfica to continue their chase of Juventus at the top of the table.

Matchday 14

View attachment 151613​

With Juventus and Barcelona set to play their game in hand in early January, matchday 14 was full of surprises as Chelsea lost to Inter, Tottenham lost to Bayern and Manchester United lost to PSG. Sevilla made Leverkusen's season even worse as they beat them 2-1 at home and Arsenal's winless run became even longer as they drew with Benfica. Dortmund continued their amazing run as they beat Atletico 1-0 and Manchester City could only draw 1-1 with Corinthians, who stay at the bottom of the table.


As we get closer to the end of the year, Arsenal have finally won after Alexis Sanchez finally scored the goal that gifts the Gunners all 3 points against Barcelona whilst Dortmund couldn't win against Valencia, with the Spanish side scoring a late equaliser. Manchester United's Higuain continued his amazing form under Villas-Boas as he scored twice to give Manchester United a good win against Benfica and Chelsea scored 3 times in 11 minutes to get a 3-2 win against Sevilla. Leverkusen and Tottenham drew 1-1 as the battle for safety intensifies and Juventus couldn't build a gap at the top of the table by drawing 2-2 with Inter. Real Madrid won again as they beat Corinthians easily and Bayern drew 1-1 with Manchester City. PSG's good run came to an end as Atletico scored a goal in the last minute to clinch victory and hope to climb up the table.

Matchday 16

View attachment 151608​

A great end to 2016 for the likes of PSG, Arsenal and Manchester City as they all won respectively against Valencia (3-1), Inter (3-1) and Leverkusen (2-0). Tottenham also managed a 2-0 win against Sevilla and Benfica's 76th minute goal secured them a win against Atletico as the Spanish side's season doesn't get any better. Real Madrid played Bayern in the biggest game of the matchday but the occasion disappointed as it ended 1-1. Juventus got all 3 points against Chelsea and Manchester United also impressed against Barcelona, grabbing 3 goals to secure a 3-2 win with a brace from Higuain. Corinthians managed the impossible as they got a win against Dortmund in what was the biggest surprise of the matchday.

A great rest of the season awaits now as Juventus stay top of the table but Manchester United and Barcelona will keep fighting for the title that's for sure. Valencia, Corinthians and Leverkusen are the main contenders for relegation as of right now but Sevilla or Inter are definitely still in the hat. Benfica are also not looking as good as they did before but we've seen some great improvements from PSG and Real Madrid as both teams slowly climb the table. Arsenal and Atletico also seem to be making their way back up the table as Manchester City and Dortmund prove to be the surprise packages this season. A really exciting rest of season awaits!

 
Welp, that deteriorated quickly... should've been comfortably clear at the top. Still, the Juve-Barca game will be massive!
 
Completely missed the deadline! Guess I can't improve my chances after all :P
 
We have the defence of a brick wall, but the attack has been diabolical. -.-

Improving though!
 
Uh oh!! I am on holiday so can only get on at the bar. Will jump in as much as I can. Come
on Benfica!
 
Update

View attachment 151047

Rupert Grint made big moves in the winter transfer window. He spent over £70m bringing in some young talent for the future.

Just over £36m was spent on winger/forward Breel Embolo to bring him from Basel - it would appear that new manager Marcelo Gallardo does not see a future for the likes of Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck.

Another young winger was signed in the shape of Pione Sisto, an exciting Danish player.

Young Brazilian forward Malcom was signed for £15m from Bordeaux to complete the signings.


The results were much better for the gunners despite losing the first game of December 3-2 to PSG

View attachment 151040

Gallardo will now be looking to guide his team into the top 6 and hopefully push to retain the title.

January update

Game in hand

View attachment 149295​

A solid victory for Barcelona who continue their strong form this season against on-form Juventus.

Matchday 17

View attachment 149294​

Strong showings from Barcelona, Juventus, Dortmund, Arsenal, PSG and Inter got them all impresive wins against Valencia, Manchester United, Leverkusen, Chelsea, Bayern and Atletico as Sevilla also won the all-Spanish clash against Real Madrid and Tottenham lost at the Lane against Manchester City. Corinthians continue their bad run of form with another loss, this time against Benfica.

Matchday 18

View attachment 149286​

PSG seem to have found a perfect fit in Louis Van Gaal as manager as he guided them to yet another win, thanks to a goal from his former player Martial. Bayern smashed Dortmund as Leverkusen won against Real Madrid, with Asensio controversially scoring against his parent club. Benfica and Valencia drew 2-2 and so did Sevilla and Manchester City. It almost looked like it would be the same scoreline at Old Trafford but Lukaku scored the winner in a game which saw 3 of MU's new signings score. Chelsea and Tottenham could also only draw 2-2 and Arsenal battled Juventus to get a 3-2 victory.


Some big surprises this week as Juventus destroyed Atletico 4-0 and Leverkusen grabbed a late winner against PSG to end the Frenchies' good run of form. Benfica also beat Bayern despite going a goal down inside 10 minutes which was nothing short of impressive. In other news, Real Madrid could only draw against Tottenham whilst Dortmund beat Sevilla 2-1, thanks to a goal from Berardi. Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Inter and Valencia all drew 1-1 with each other as the last goals of the week came from Barcelona as they smashed Corinthians 3-0.

Matchday 20

View attachment 149272​

The end of January saw a big game between Barcelona and Bayern and it wasn't as close as people expected it to be. A 3-1 win for the Blaugranas impressed the Barca fans who can now hope for the title as Manchester City beat Real Madrid with the same scoreline. PSG made up for their loss against Leverkusen with a narrow win against Sevilla and Juventus beat Valencia 2-0. Dortmund and Tottenham drew, thanks to 2 goals in the last 7 minutes from Vardy and Alli. Benfica won yet again, this time against Leverkusen whilst Manchester United will have to play without Ramos next game despite getting the 3 points against Chelsea. Atletico and Arsenal drew 1-1 and Corinthians got an impressive win against Inter.

​
And here's the league table with 14 games left in the season:

View attachment 149267
Juventus and Barcelona are leading the pack in terms of the title race and both can hope for a good league finish this season with Manchester United and City close behind them. Real Madrid still in 13th very surprisingly whilst Van Gaal's debut month and a half with PSG has been nothing short of exceptional. Atletico are struggling a little bit compared to last season but still not doing too bad although their fans will want better performances in the future, just like Bayern fans.

 
We do the hard work in beating Juve, only to randomly lose to mid table Atletico... Will try and get a proper update out tomorrow
