2016-2017 Soccer Thread: The Post Leicester City Apocalypse

[Roranora]

Pep hates England so much, and it amuses me greatly.

happy new year lol

Johnson: "What was your view of the red card for Fernandinho?"

Guardiola: "You are the journalist. Not me."

DJ: "You're the manager. I'm sure the fans would like to know."

PG: "Ask the referee - not me."

DJ: "Are you concerned that's his third red card this season? Is there a discipline problem with him?"

PG: "We will accept. Like I said before, the team with more ball possession we have always sending-off. I have to understand the rules here in England. I know you are specialist but I have to understand it."

DJ: "So the interpretation is perhaps different in England?"

PG: "Of course, yes. Around the world our keeper in the box is fouled, not here. I have to understand that. Claudio Bravo is fouled."

DJ: "It's his fault?"

PG: "He is fouled. Here not - that's OK but I have to understand that."

DJ: "You don't seem that happy that you've won."

PG: "More than you would believe. More than you would believe, I am happy."

DJ: "You're not showing it."

PG: "I'm so happy, believe me. I'm so happy. Happy new year."

DJ: "Are Manchester City in the title race?"

PG: "Yesterday, no. Why today are we in the title race?"

DJ: "Thanks Pep."

PG: "My pleasure."

hah. That interview is pretty funny ... Pep definitely has a case of the Mourinhos

[Talint]

Arsenal deserves better than its fans.

[Roranora]

I want to see & hear White Hart Lane welcome Chelsea tomorrow night.

big game is big, and sadly I don't think I can convince my fellow yanks I should take a 2hr afternoon break. grumble, grumble FA

[Talint]

Any points for Spurs tomorrow will be a miracle.

I'll even take a 0-0.

[Zetanio]

Yep. I will gladly take a draw but

COME ON YOU FUCKING SPURS!

[Roranora]

Awwwwyeah.jpg

Wintry weather's been helping me out on the right days. I get to be home for this one

[Zetanio]

HERE WE GO

[Zetanio]

Oh boy. Hazard misses a free goal.

[Zetanio]

Pedro on a yellow already.

[Zetanio]

This is crazy.

[Zetanio]

[Zetanio]

[Zetanio]

WE'VE GOT ALLI

[Zetanio]

Fuck you Chelsea.

Fucking eat dicks.

[Talint]

WE'VE GOT ALLI
DELE ALLI
I JUST DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND!

[Zetanio]

2-0 that should have been 4 or 5 vs Aston Villa.

FA Cup blah blah.

[FallingHigher]

Got to love the cup, my team Derby County (league below the prem) beat West Brom and we're in the draw for tomorrow. Hoping for a big away tie

[Roranora]

Eh, you get to host Leicester. I guess that's an okay draw for Derby.

Full 4th round draw

Spoiler: show

Crystal Palace or Bolton v Manchester City

Middlesbrough v Accrington Stanley

Fulham v Hull City

Blackburn v Barnsley or Blackpool

Burnley or Sunderland v Fleetwood or Bristol City

Rochdale v Huddersfield Town

Millwall v Watford

Manchester United v Wigan Athletic

Chelsea v Brentford

Lincoln or Ipswich v Brighton

Southampton or Norwich v Arsenal

Plymouth or Liverpool v Wolves

AFC Wimbledon or Sutton Utd v Leeds

Oxford United v Newcastle or Birmingham

Derby v Leicester City

Tottenham v Wycombe

I'm still amused Liverpool have to travel to fucking Plymouth next week for a replay.

Also, go Lincoln City!

[FallingHigher]

Don't think we'll get through as I can see Leicester wanting to get far in the cup this year with their poor league form, but never say never. Hope they just don't move it to a Mon/Fri when I'm working else I won't be able to go.

And yeah Plymouth pretty much parked the bus the other day no wonder
