The English Premier League Discussion Thread

Haha well he has got it. I hope Stoke get relegated.

Ian Holloway back in the EPL is always good for entertainment, next season the highlight of Sunderland vs Crystal Palace will be the press conferences.

Joe Kinnear is back

Can't wait for his first interview...
By the way, I recently read about top teams (Bayern, Barca etc.) being interested in signing Koscielny. Was he really that good last season?

not really but he's the best defender at Arsenal and up there with Kompany as one of the league's best defenders.

I like Kinnear

Expect an end to fancy french signings and a new era of hard as nails Brits who look like plasterers.

Yes, but Spurs shouldn't sell. One of the top 5 CBs in the world, possibly future GOAT.

What a shock. I'm literately shaking with surprise.

Everyone knows that the way to win a football match is not tactics or training but WILL TO WIN, you have to WANT IT THE MOST. In order to WANT IT THE MOST, it is necessary that the bulk of your team be rock hard British players with a stiff upper lip and plenty of British spunk (you are allowed one foreign player to provide "flair" but the rest of the team are allowed to refer to him as "the poof"), and the way you manage such a team to glory is not by tactical acumen or nuance but by good old fashioned SHOUTING. Shout, shout and shout some more. This is the way to glory, and Joe Kinnear understands this.

He should be the England NT coach then, you'll have better chance to win the WC next year.

Away at United in the second weekend.... that will be a good early indicator as to who is getting it together better and quicker, Moyes or Mourinho...

I think Mourinho will win the EPL. I will be surprised if Moyes wins the league in his first season with the major issues with the United first team (e.g. Rooney wanting to leave, off-form wingers with Nani likely leaving, big hole in midfield and no replacement for Scholes etc).

Depends on transfer window, if he sell Rooney and Nani for major cash and brings in some fantastic players for the money, could be different story

Adidas - Chelsea 35 Mill. Euros a year for the next 10? Wtf? Is this another reparation payment for Dunkerque or for a german final at wembley?? Sick.

Probably because Chelsinho are going to rule the england for a few years and it's good advertising investment

Speaking from experience of developing countries, Chelsea is definitely the most rapidly expanding brand in English football still, it is now as common to see a knockoff Chelsea shirt on the streets of Senegal or Thailand than a Utd one.
