Football

But they didn't look good under Martinez though. Stones was told to piss about with the ball and not go past the halfway line and Barkley was told to pass sideways - still scored 12 goals though in a shit season

4/9 on now with Coral; £25m, personal terms all agreed apparently

Mata to Everton that is btw

I like Mata but you need to play to his strengths, he doesn't adapt too well to certain systems. Hope it works out for him. He's about as close as it gets to being the finished article.

Serious question, where do you play him? 3-5-1-1 next season with Mata in the hole behind Lukaku (should he stay)

Batshuayi deal is official. Pleased with that.

He'll hopefully be a newer, better upgrade on Pienaar.
Told to stay up top/out wide. I'd hope he'll play just off Lukaku(if still here) but then that begs the question; what will happen to Mirallas? Deulofeu needs to start playing more too so we seem to have decent options in attack.

Kone & Niasse will hopefully never wear a blue shirt again

Amazing though really isn't it. The 2 best managers in the world/Prem are fighting it out over Stones and Hodgson sits him on the bench behind Chris fucking Smalling!?!

You know it makes sense

Flawless photoshop

I know, hopeless...still in last season's shirt FFS!!

Still got time for the fans this French team. Look at his little face.

£13m price drop for Mata. The LvG effect.

At the same point that you were the best team in the world?

So how are these transfers shaping up Pisti? Do you think you are building a squad to challenge for top 4?

Why the fuck do I stray out of this football thread to the wilderness of the rest of this forum and get in arguments about evidence?

Does anyone know who Viktor Fischer (Left Wing) or Bernardo Espinosa (Centre Back) are? 'cos I don't.

One's Danish, one's Colombian.

thanks. Are they awesome? I bet they are awesome.

Does it matter, we can say they are awesome. No one wants experts anymore.

We've been living the world, as it is now, in this thread for years.

THEY ARE AWESOME. I knew it.

I also feel fully prepped for this new reality and will stop squabbling about truth and proof.

I thought this thread was all about #facts and the rulez.

#facts and #postfacts are all the same now.

TEH RULEZ never change

If experts are no longer trusted then does that make Mike our most knowledgeable poster?

Strangely, he always has been.
We've just been blinded to the truth.
