Next season should be interesting, and I genuinely believe Suarez will go to Real in the summer. Real are already considering their options as to who to let go to fund the deal. If he does go, Real will be frightening. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/113/#findComment-745193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think he'll stay. Could just be wishful thinking but I genuinely think he'll be up for champs league with Liverpool.Of course that may depend what we do in the transfer market. Defo need a few players.

Alan Medic Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Liverpool were certainly helped by not having European distractions. They blew it by losing to Chelsea not the Palace match. I think they need to learn to play more than one way i.e not gung ho all the time. Perhaps that was down to the managers' inexperience in these situations.I think City are the best all round team and doubt Chelsea would have won it, striker or no striker.Anyway,it's not actually over yet. Rumours have it Sam is on his way so maybe if the players are so pro him, they will play like it. Imagine if they score first!

Otta Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 It could ve an exciting final day if City are level or behind at half time...And yes Liverpool have benefited from no Europe but only in terms of their relatively small squad. I don't really buy that Europe has made it harder for the other teams who can field two all star teams.

Otta Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Very bold words from Bobby Charltonhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27337659I think it's inevitable that United will come again, but I don't think they will ever be the dominant force year in year out that they have been since the early 90s.

red devil Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Interesting story in The Times that Gus Poyet could end up at West Ham. I think he would be a good fit, youngish manager to take the club forward, new era/stadium etc, knows the PL inside out, wants his teams to play attractive football, can even survive a relegation dog fight...what's not to like?

Otta Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Congrats to City, stylish champions (at least it wasn't Chelsea!).4th was the target for Liverpool and that didn't look an easy task before a ball was kicked, I'd have bittenr your hand off for it. But it is gutting to know that they were within touching distance.Oh well.

Really? over the course of the season they accumulated the most points and were deserving winners, at least they didn't have to revert to the special needs penchant of parking the local fleet of buses when they knew they couldn't out play the opposition, and then have the balls to moan when the roles are reversed a la BFS.
