Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!

This would be a just punishment, therefore will never happen. -
Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!
duke313 replied to ClaretMahoney's topic in Other Football
A 25-point deduction this season would have seen them finish only 2 points behind us -
That's working out great so far
-
I've no real feeling on him leaving or staying. He could be a great player so if he stays, great. If he wants to go to Chelsea, then also great, we rinse them for every penny we can get. I've a feeling he might kick up a bit of a fuss next season, his reputation has grown so will be expecting more game time.
-
He would be starting for most PL sides.
-
Yeah, the team that did that in the 90s and 00 was Man Utd, not us

Reducing the odds will get more people to bet in it, as it makes it look like something big is going to happen (points deduction). The bookies will make more money from thousands betting at 25/1 than a few 100 at 2000/1. Because City aren’t going to get relegated. -
Pretty much this. Players of Duran's age grew up with Chelsea being one of the very best teams in the world for a long time, it's why the like of Caicedo went there instead of Liverpool.

City 25/1 to get relegated next season. Bookies tanking the odds to get mugs to bet on it, same as Sky Bet do with transfer rumours. -

He won't be back here, he'll end up at Chelsea or Spurs -
Would take both
-
He may have changed his mind since we've qualified for CL?
-
Red Star playing at the minute and he’s not in the squad despite coming on as a sub in their last game. Hope he’s not had an injury setback. Don’t think he’ll be making the Euros at this rate. Was looking forward to seeing him.

What a great way to run a club
-
Can see Mourinho going back for the trilogy
-
Todd Bohley at the end of every season.
-
Was looking like they might be a challenge next season. Oh well, benefits us
-
Tuchel and Bohley fell out, can’t see that happening. Tuchel just needs to wait until Ten Hag is sacked, and the United jobs his.
-
Bohley is an idiot. Poch gets them European football after a ropey start and looked like they were improving in the 2nd half of the season, would have carried that form into next season. Theyll probably hire De Zerbi or somebody and finish 10th
-
They are, that’s why they’re considered elite, they can do both. If Barkley signs or not, we still need a Kamara type DM.

Euro 2024: Group C (Denmark, England, Serbia, Slovenia)
duke313 replied to limpid's topic in Other Football
Because literally none of them have international tournament experience. This isn’t the Premier League, international football is totally different. Those five players have less than 25 caps between them, it’s a bit naive to think they’re going to just carry their PL form into the England setup, a setup they’ve barely been a part of. If England are in extra time in the knockouts against teams like Portugal or France, I’d rather have Rashford to bring in than Eze or Gordon. -
Into Other Football it goes.
-
I always take defensive stats with a pinch of salt. Teams at the bottom of the league are always on the back foot so their defenders will be making more tackles, interceptions, clearances etc than defenders that play for top teams.

Euro 2024: Group C (Denmark, England, Serbia, Slovenia)
duke313 replied to limpid's topic in Other Football
I’ve a feeling he might regret not taking Rashford, especially in the latter rounds against tougher teams, he would have been a good option off the bench. Yes, he’s not had a great season, but United have been shite, and that hasn’t stopped him picking Maguire, Mainoo and Shaw. -
I do. There are different types of defensive midfielders in the modern game, the ball wining type (Kamara) and the deep playmaker type (Luiz). They are both DMs, they just have different instructions on the pitch.
