My friend linked me an article from last time Mourinho was sacked and I didn't read the date and so I went into "nope, fuck you, I don't believe it" mode.

Tough times.

I can only attest to what Nigel was feeling during RM's 12-13 campaign. Though it's not like Courtois is going to decline.

What amazes me about the Eva situation is that people completely forget that another Doctor was involved in Mourinho putting on blast but since he's a dude, who curs rite?

But lolsexismdoesnthappentomen

Fuck life and fuck everybody.

Fuck Rooney.

I'd laugh, but Swansea got knocked out in the last round by Hull.

Oh, and to respond to a much earlier comment... Swansea's my team but there's no way they're finishing Top 5. After last year's overachievement, I'll be content with a Top 10.

Chelsea. Lol.

I guess all Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool needed was an easy matchup against Chelsea.

Arsenal continuing to strive. Could this finally be the year

Swansea ran into Arsenal at great times last season. Stark contrast to today.

Also, West Ham continues to prove themselves to be the Bad-Good Team. Wins against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool... losses to Bournemouth and Watford.

Same shit, different game.

Why the fuck do we keep playing Rooney? He's a hindrance to the team and stops us from progressing, like RVP last season. As much as I rag on Van Gaal and his idiotic tactics, he's not too blame for Rooney having the first touch of a blinded five year old child and not being able to finish anything anymore. There's no excuse for the way he's been playing.

I don't know why we don't play Martial with Mata and Herrera behind..

"Top 5" Swansea just lost to freakin' Norwich. Whoever suggested that, thanks for jinxing them, because jinxes in sports obviously exist.

Maybe as funny as his goal celebration is (if you forgot, well, he hasn't gotten to use it in forever), Gomis isn't a No. 1 Premier League striker. Still, I think the most alarming thing today was the defending, especially on set pieces. Last season's squad stole plenty of points with the back four carrying them. Sure, this season they held Everton to a scoreless draw, but Everton were largely defending in numbers, too.

Taking words out of peoples mouth since 2015... DARK DEMON!!

I really do wish Barca had 'lethal' Pedro back though for them goals

Yeah, we'll pretend you weren't acting like Pedro was great in the summer, kk kewl.

Yeah, 'we' as in only you I suppose..

And how are you great in the summer unless you mean the first 2 weeks or something?

I commended him for his performance but never called him 'lethal' or proclaimed 'I wanted him back at Barca' or or orrrr........... that all 'Barca players were awesum'

But you know, whatever befits Dark Demon's agenda to make himself seem like a superior football fan as he always does, kk kewl.

On another note though, Barca plays tomorrow.. a pretty hard fixture against Villareal and we had another player go down in Rakitic. I just hope Neymar and Suarez keep their goal fest keep going with us also keeping a clean sheet. 

We need all these players back before El Clasico in 2 weeks from today, but RM also has some players injured and one out due to 'personal reasons'. 

This will be a really interesting El Clasico, not the best without Messi but interesting.

Good news for Real is that James and Bale should be fit for Sevilla. As boring as Real are, I don't think they are necessarily defensive. Beneitz more or less at Real is more of a preventive coach rather than a defensive coach. Benetiz installs a proactive defensive style where everyone in Real works to prevent a goal before the opponent can even launch an attack. Tons of pressing with a lot of overlaps, very intriguing how this will correlate to El Clasico in two weeks time.

Chelsea are now jobbers

*puts on a Man City shirt* you motherfuckers boutta get a taste of Aguero!

If only he wasn't injured...

David Moyes has been sacked,again.

Feel bad for him, he was never good enough for United although anybody trying to follow Sir Alex with that squad and the expecatations was in for an impossible job but he's still a good manager for most teams who aren't realistically going to challenge for a league/Champions League qualification but his stock is really going down now. Seen alot of talk he could go to Celtic if they ever sack their manager and he'd be a good choice for them, he's guranteed league titles there and he can't really do worse than get into the CL groups for Celtic which they haven't done since Lennon left and Lennons already proved he's not that good a manager at Bolton, also seen talk he could go to Swansea but they'd be mad to sack Monk off a bit of bad form considering all he's done for them (and he's still a very young manager) and Moyes really doesn't fit the way that Swansea want to play and I can't see them going for him considering they like managers who play possession football (Martinez to Rodgers to Laurdup to Monk) where as Moyes is pretty defensive although he'd still do well there imo.

Hopefully he rebuilds himself back up wherever he goes, not sure what job seems realistic for him in the Premiership, you'd have to be insane to want the Newcastle job with the likes of Ashley running it. Although I'm sure there'll a panic sacking soon enough. Chelsea might be looking for somebody soon to ''help'' them with relegation #StepfowardAgentMoyes

In other news, we've gone 500 minutes without conceding a goal which is pretty good that our defense is alot better than the clown shoes defending we had last season but christ our attacking is so, so, so, poor and non-existent. Still not understanding why we don't put Martial upfront, couldn't care less if it's his natural position out-wide on the left, he's so much better up front it's insane and he's our best striker since Rooney's long past it. Sad we're still making sacrifices for Rooney and there's people out there STILL making excuses for him. If we put him up front, he's useless and hinders us, if we put him behind Martial instead of Herrera, he's average and nowhere near as good as Herrera and he's a horrible version of Paul 'GOAT' Scholes in midfield, only position he should be playing in is on the bench.  Martial , Mata, Lingard (Depay when Shaw comes back, Memphis plays MUCH better with Shaw and he's fallen off a cliff since Shaw got injured) and Herrera should be our attacking options with Schmidfield behind or Schneiderlin and Carrick but Schweinsteiger is so fuckin good though and Carrick's sadly declining in old age this season.

Of course, I don't expect that to happen and we'll continue to play Rooney anyway to continue hindering the team because he's da captain~!

Ireland qualify for the European Championships.

We won't go far but the summer is going to be insane.

I don't know how familiar you guys are with Swansea's players, but Garry Monk started Kyle Bartley for Federico Fernandez, Leon Britton for Jack Cork, Wayne Routledge for Jefferson Montero, and Eder for Bafetimbi Gomis.

Monk was lauded as this technical genius by the media after the early season win against United, but this, for the most part, looks like he's just starting worse players over their better counterparts in hope that something works out. I get that we're coming off an international break, and some of those guys are international starters, but a part of me wonders is Monk is panicking a bit for his job. This is the first time the rumor mills have talked about him possibly getting sacked.

Classico time! Which side are you on?

Arsenal
