Also would have loved to see how Marco Silva was there next season.
But as Swansea stay in PL this gives Leeds more hope for singing Bartley.

Silva will be fine, he'll have an offer in the PL imo

Kroenke will allow Wenger to have a 'dramatic shift' in Arsenal spending this summer after a disappointing league season. [L'Equipe] #afc

That's a lot of money for a couple of PL titles from City

 

[woolly]

Bastards! Rather they stayed up than the long **** trip to South Wales!

Lost three good ones that are getting replaced by Brighton and potentially another frigging London club or Reading!

This is NOT a good thing!

You will however, get the joy of a trip to Newcastle which makes up for it a little bit Scouse.

Also worth noting that they spent like 90% of that sum,starting 2008, not 2003.

Whoever signs Pickford from Sunderland this summer will get a really good prospect. Kept scoreline tonight respectable.

Not that bad really 2002 was only our first season back into the Prem. We're were in Div 2 in 99/00.

So, bar some freak accident City joins the top 3, and Arsenal need to win and pray Liverpool lose or draw.

If it were down to the player he wouldn't be going anywhere.

It's not inconceivable City could yet miss out.

Slim as all heck like, but Everton will doubtless lay down at Arsenal Sunday in the hope L'pool f-up so there's a chance there for Arsenal's goal swing.

What do you think about the owners of Leicester City?
Since King Power is about to take over Belgian club: OH Leuven (OHL)

As long as they dont make OH Leuven a feeder club for City then they should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Just read that the FA want to implement a 2 matchday ban for players making a schwalbe. Only after a penalty or red card has been mislead to the referees and a jury of 3 all agree that the player faked it.

Not sure if this would be the ideal way to handle the problem. Video refs would make things much easier and would make it more fair for the opponent they are playing against, because they still get the penalty or red card against them... Not to forget it is another subjective way to discuss a punishment.

It's a step in the right direction at least.
Great news.

wtf is a schwalbe?

wtf is a schwalbe?

"Schwalbe" is one of those few German words that are used in the Dutch language. A "schwalbe" is the act, performed by a soccer player, of deliberately taking a dive with the objective of obtaining a free kick or penalty. We do have also a Dutch equivalent – "fopduik" (lit.: fake dive) – but "schwalbe" is far more popular…

Thought it was common a football word. My bad

Get in Kane lad! F off Lukaku!

'Spurs been fantastic even accounting for Leicester sacking it off. Same City since Pep has had a settled backline.

Utd and Arsenal got some serious work to do to catch back up the top 4.
