Football Banter

Or maybe it's just the way Klopp sets teams up and/or teams counter attack them quicker
Top of the table clash in Championship tonight which should be a fascinating game should be plenty of goals but half expecting Newcastle to come out on top

Luis Enrique has announced that he will not be at Barcelona next season.

It's good to see Luke Shaw playing again for Utd.

Quote:Tests will be conducted this year in which the team which goes first in a shootout will then have to wait two more turns to take their next kick, in what football’s lawmakers are describing as an “ABBA” sequence.

...The stats at the moment say that 60 per cent of penalty shootouts are won by the team that takes the first penalty.

At least we can probably enjoy MOTD straight after the Haye V Bellew fight!! I bet Sky will want more than £20 as usual

Wolves will go down. I have thought that for a few weeks now.
Rubbish at both ends and not much better in between.
Can't defend, no proper striker and team selection that defies logic.
I have given up. Cannot see where the next win is coming from. League One it is next season . I expect defeat every week now.

So after outplaying Arsenal what's the betting that Liverpool draw with Burnley at home next Sunday , because at this point it wouldn't surprise me .

did Chelsea struggle to beat West Ham last night? Seeing the result makes me think West Ham did their best to put pressure on Chelsea but wasn't surprised Carroll played up front on his own, I suspect many expected Chelsea to steamroller them but it seems to me that West Ham had other ideas. I have to admit whatever methods Conte uses in training or in team talks he does it very well and probably many Chelsea feel that he is doing a far better job than Mourinho did but I would not be surprised if one of the other big 4 clubs comes in for him when he feels he'd done all he can at Chelsea, and certainly I would think he could probably transform Arsenal if it was offered to him

The FA has handed Mings the Bournemouth defender a five-game ban after being found guilty of violent conduct after he stamped on Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Manchester United striker was banned for three games after he accepted the charge after elbowing Mings .
