BPL 15/16 - The New Season Part 1

[BenTong]

Respect your opinion bro but I can't see how Sunderland is not the easiest of the lot

First red in English football? Wow that's surprising lol

Sunderland fighting for survival. As for the Devils.. This year they busy trying to keep their hair in place. Even the manager.

Ahead of the match at Nou Camp, Ozil had issued a battle cry: "We don't fear Barcelona trio Messi, Suarez and Neymar."

 

Thats the spirit.

Leicester's last 8 league fixtures:

 

Palace (A)

Southampton (H)

Sunderland (A)

West Ham (H)

Swansea (H)

Man Utd (A)

Everton (H)

Chelsea (A)

 

Fancy them to win 4 at least

Fergie back Leicester to be crowned EPL Champion before their visit to Man United on 1^st May; and Ronald Koeman ruled Arsenal & M City out of the title race.

If we go by Fergie prediction, it means Leicester will have to win the next 5 games to top 78 (63 + 15) points before playing its away game at Old Trafford.  And Tottenham to drop points in their next 5 games.

 

Leicester next 5 games:

Away to Crystal Palace on 19/3/16

At home to Southampton on on 2/4/16

Away to Sunderland on 9/4/16

At home to West Ham on 16/4/16

At home to Swansea on 23/4/16

Win all 5 games to top 78 points

 

Last 3 games:

Away to Man United on 1 May 16

At home to Everton on 7 May 16

Away to Chelsea on 15 May 16

 

And now we look at next 5 games for Tottenham (currently on 58 points), I predict Tottenham to drop points at Liverpool & Stoke

 

At home to Bournemouth on 21/3/16 (win) - 61

Away to Liverpool on 3/4/16 (lose) – 61 (They drew 0 - 0 at WH Lane on 17 Oct)

At home to Man United on 10/4/16 (win) - 64

Away to Stoke on 19/4/16 (draw) – 65 (They drew 2 - 2 at WH Lane on 15 Aug)

At home to WBA on 26 /4/16 (win) – 68

Last 3 games

Away to Chelsea

At home to Southampton

Away to Newcastle

 

If my prediction is right, at the end of their next 5 games, Tottenham will be 10 points off Leicester with 3 games to go for both teams.

well, with a leaky defence and short of their 1st team keeper, I really think their defence would be in for a long nite when MSN comes to town...

 

Gunners looking at losing 3 games at home on the spin... something which hasnt happened for the longest time...

i think they already had. Lost 0-2 to Barcelona in UCL, 1-2 to Swansea in EPL then 1-2 to Watford in FA Cup.

 

Next game will be away to Barcelona.

 

Arsenal board had given vote of confidence to Wenger according to Times. His position will not be questioned at the end of season even if Arsenal ended up empty handed.

The entire squad was jaded. No one run in the box at all to make the packed NC defence to move as well. Navas crosses were hopeless. Bony was useless...MC was like playing with 10 men till he's gone.

 

I don't find they have any vital final jab to go further in the CL or the BPL...unless De bruyne and yaya come back fit and strong all the way to the end of season.

Good. Overpaid stars... good for them to play europa cup with that pep botak...

 

Then will test pep if hes truely a good manager.

 

But then hor this team will keep buying and buying... haiz

Man Utd vs Liverpool second leg will be officiated by the "worst" referee in World Cup

[Osprey23]

Liverpool starlet and contract rebel Jerome Sinclair has agreed a pre contract with Watford. This move is likely to be a sweetener for Zielinski as Udinese and Watford have the same owner.

 

It was reported last week that talks between the clubs for Zielinski will commence this week.

Liverpool announced the departure of Ayre in May 2017 today. Successor is likely to be Nicola Cortese.

 

Good choice. Wondering what he has been doing since leaving Southampton.

[Osprey23]

Congrats to City making it into the QF of UCL.

 

Came with a huge price though with both Kompany and Otamendi subbed out injured.

Oh No !

West Ham is interested in Benteke according to Times but unwilling to match is current wage of £120kpw. it was also reported that their first choice is Batshuayi.

 

Only BR pays £32.5m for him at £120kpw. Madness.

Yahoo : Wenger Said to Be Considering Walking Away From Arsenal

 

Arsene Wenger is said to be considering walking away from Arsenal at the end of the season if the Gunners go trophy-less. 

 

The club's 2-1 FA Cup quarter final defeat to Watford on Sunday stunned fans, who had been hoping for at least the consolation of some silverware to dampen the disappointment of a stuttering league campaign.

 

The ​Daily Mail report that the level of anger shown by fans  over the last couple of weeks  has shaken Wenger, with at least one large banner calling for his resignation on display at the KC Stadium when Arsenal travelled to Hull for an FA Cup replay last week. 

 

Owner Stan Kroenke has been said to have offered the Frenchman his full backing despite a substantial recent dip in form, but is reportedly beginning to draw up a succession plan in case of Wenger's shock resignation. 

 

The 66-year-old's contract runs until the end of next season and club chiefs expect him to continue at the helm of the club until at least the end of that deal, but the unrest around the club at what is perceived to be a wasted chance to win the Premier League could see him pull the cord sooner. 

 

The summer acquisition of Petr Cech put Arsenal right up with the pre-season favourites and a strong first half of the season - allied with the failure of Chelsea and Manchester United - left the Gunners as clear favourites to win a first league title in a dozen years as they led from Leicester at the halfway stage. 

Since then though, the Foxes' consistent form and Arsenal's regular stumbles have left Claudio Ranieri's side a full 11 points clear of the north Londoners - albeit having played one game more - and seemingly out of reach.

Don't blame me, blame the fans ...

if next season is Wenger's last season, i hope he really go revamp his team and just spend to buy several heavy weights
