Oh right fair enough then from Laurentis, i thought he was doing it thinking he knew more than the manager etc.

And yeah Sarri English is what i thought could be big issue as well, not only does he not know English but he is very old to "learn" it easily at 59. But hey the way Napoli play out from the back is awesome and he is such a well organised tactician, just whether or not he can do that in England. Be interesting appointment.

Also the Spurs link is so interesting, Poch said after the semi final defeat to Yanited "it might take another manager to win something here" or something like this, so will Poch be leaving?


Actually, Sarri's english is pretty good. He worked as a banker in London till his 40s. He rolled into coaching through the amateur divisions, and worked his way up the ladder for 15 years now. That's pretty impressive considering he didn't have any prior football experience.

Oh wow didn't know that, thanks for this information!

I've been too busy to post lately but had to comment on this. It wouldn't surprise me if Poch leaves soon. Spurs had the best defensive record in the PL last season. Less than 12 months later, look at that back 4 now:

Walker: sold to Man City
Alderweireld: 100% leaving this summer because of money
Rose: spoke out publicly against Spurs' transfer/wage policy last summer and is now Davies' backup, despite being a much better player. Almost certain to leave this summer.

I'd be gutted if Poch leaves, but why would he want to stay if key players are sold every summer?

edit: Dembele will definitely leave also, again for financial reasons. Best of luck replacing him!

Yeah Alderwerield leaving is big he was awesome and like you say one of the reasons why your defense was amazing last year. However he still has some useful defenders there, Vertgonhan when i have seen him in certain games was an absolute beast and was doing very well. Rose to Yanited with Shaw going to Spurs is also rumoured which is good right? Might be able to remake him into a solid left back.

But yeah if he leaves, wow that isn't good for you. Unless you get a top replacement in for him, but even then might be hard.

Referee has been poor which is annoying, such a big game for top 4 and they give an awful ref. Should have been michael oliver here! Milner did an absolutely shocking tackle on Hazard which would have caused a riot if it was on Salah but didn't even get a card.

Last time I looked Eintracht Stadion was only 700m away from my flat. Not sure how you get 40km.

Meh. I'm so done. Why did I buy a ticket for Kiel. Why did I take a day off for Karlsruhe in the relegation. We aren't going to score a goal this season anymore anyways.... we need to somehow rescue ourselves to penalties vs. Karlsruhe. If we even manage to reach relegation playoffs

I'm a Chelsea fan and they're currently 5th. But I'm also a football fan, and I think what Liverpool and spurs have done this season deserves the champions league spot. How about we beat Liverpool next, and then sneak into top 4 at their expense, and they win the champions league. Everyone wins


It's happening XD

Best game I've seen baka play. Also feels good to have a striker that doesn't fall down after every physical contact.

that was a nice touch but i think could have done more, hoping there is another celebration for him with all the old players like Bergkamp and co all giving bit of speech and stuff. Still was nice just though could been even more. 22 years!

Going out in style, and in a very Arsenal way indeed.

Playing the utmost beautiful kind of football there is, winning by a huge margin, in a game that doesn't matter

And that's officially my last shot at making fun of Wenger

If Chelsea win the FA cup and somehow make top 4 do you still sack Conte?

I would because he shapes the team to play like minnows when against top sides, both home and away. He does that sometimes against mid table sides too. It doesn't evel feel tactical like when mourinho parks the bus sometimes. We won't go far with conte.

I'm kind of happy he didn't go to Qatar or such at least. I'd assume Japanese league is a bit less questionable on the human rights and corruption stuff.

Japanese league is also a lot better than both Chinese and Qatari leagues for sure right as well. Also lucky Iniesta, i would love to go live in Japan for a few years playing football living like a king
