balon d'or

forgot to express my opinion, bit late, sorry guys.

as we all know, rodrigo hernandez cascante has won this year's balon d'or, but before i get into THAT let me just say that i am in fact taking my earrings off to fight w whatever bitch wants to fight.

to start, lemme just state vini jr, rodri and carvajal's trophies.

RODRI:

-Nations League

-Premier League

-EURO 2024

-Clubs World Cup

VINI JR:

-UEFA Champions League

-UEFA Supercup

-Laliga

-Spain Supercup

-Best Champion's league player.

CARVAJAL:

-UEFA Champions League

-UEFA Supercup

-Laliga

-Spain Supercup

-Nations League

-EUROs 2024

So now please explain to me how, when, who and why.

Yall playing because u racist little shits, antimadridista people CANNOT stand us winning. (Btw i didn't include Jude bc i know you know everything he's won this year.)

-"Oh but Real Madrid shoul've attended the gala"

Shut ur krispy kream squeacky clean mouth before i shut it down for you. If there are 3 FUCKING PLAYERS on a podium and the one with less trophies wins...is it respectfull to Real Madrid?? DOES REAL MADRID HAVE TO ATTEND A PLACE WHERE WE'RE NOT RESPECTED??? no, didn't think so.

-"That just shows how much of a sore loser the club is"

Sorry yeah, i have not seen ONCE where we'd lost something legitimely and we've cried about it. People cry when sm is stolen from them, and in this case, you know we have every right to complain about what UEFA is doing. They've lost track with Manchester City, and now im speaking not only as a madridista, but as a gunner. Just ask Michael Oliver about Manchester City, or ask Anthony Taylor about his hatred towards Arsenal. Its every club, every player that goes against City. Gary o'Neil said it clearly: its biased towards a team, because no one can go especifically agaist Wolverhampton, but they can favor Manchester City perfectly.

-"Vini didn't win because of behaviour"

Look up in Google how many red cards due to behaviour each of them have. RODRI FUCKING WINS. THAT LITTLE SHIT IS A MASSIVE MASSIVE PRICK.

my fellow arsenal fans, in how many ceremonies and galas has rodri pointed out arsenal losing against them in the prem? IN EVERY ONE OF THEM. shouting and singing "vini chao vini chao" after winning a trophy u should've never even been near to? singing "girbatar is spainsh" when you win against england, when you live in england and english people adore you? saying ur different than arsenal players bc of your mentality yet you celebrate a draw at homee being "the best team in the world" im sick of him, bye.

omg prem predictions lets go

i think fulham will do the best of the new teams, notts forest will get relegated again and bournemouth will scrape survival

man city wont be as dominant as before but will still be annoying; i dont think haaland will do as much as they want and theyve gotten rid of so many players the team is gonna be v different

spurs will clown their way to 3rd or conte is gonna get fired/leave in december and they come 6th no in between

i think arsenal utd and chelsea will all do worse than they should (esp considering the players they have...) and that the mid table teams (wolves villa etc) will really be in the running this year

oh and liverpool win the quadruple <3

oooooh ok i'm gonna respond to ur predictions with my predictions

i 100% agree about fulham, whenever i see them play they look v exciting and i think they'll do well and defo stay in the pl. i think possibly bournemouth will get relegated? and yeah i agree about notts forest (sorry neco)

i feel soooo similar about haaland. he will be, dare i say, a flop. i think he will do well but not nearly as well as he is expected to. i think man city will yes do well but struggle a bit more this season (but will annoyingly still make top 4)

i feel like spurs will have a strong start and then either carry on strong or have a bit of a wobble but still finish high up the table. if conte quits i WILL scream

i fully think chelsea will not do that well this season too, vibes just feel so off to me. i think it will be like last season where they did like, well but fell a bit flat. utd i think will either do very well or similar to last season and it all hinges on whether that freak stays or not. i obviously want arsenal to do well and i tentatively think they will? i am daring to hope.

i agree about wolves! i also think crystal palace will do well. buuuut as much as i love them idk about villa... i am very much hoping to be proven wrong! but part of me is like. stevie g gonna get SACKED

and 100 thousand million percent liverpool win the quad so true ❤

Right now i understand its all to do with the controversy with ole in Norway and not football matters 🤔 the experience thing is nonsense plenty of ex players went straight into management and did well ! So that's not a problem the same players are doing the same things under ole that they did under jose what happened to maguire has messed him up pogba again saying he wanted to leave 🐍🤬 caused stress greenwood being a muppet and twat Ed being completely incompetent to run a club and deal with the transfer market and undermine ole in that is where the problem is! Having a policeman as your dad should let you see things from a correct view not based on other contexts

No you did not understand me at all. First and foremost my issue with Ole is that he IS NO WAY COMPETENT enough to manage a football club the stage Manchester United are on. He is clearly out of this depth but you refuse to see it or acknowledge it, simple as that. You are hanging onto Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the player, the super sub, the one who has won it in 1999, the club legend and it's clouding your judgement of him. If he wasn't either of those would you still defend his disasterclasses tooth and nails? Would you? No.

You are going on about how it's the players are to blame for everything but do you even realize we have a better squad than every prem side save for Liverpool, City and Chelsea? Do you realize? Yet we are sitting proudly at 15th (with a game in hand) and our football is utter shit and totally unwatchable. These players aren't coached properly or at all for fuck's sake!! What's not clicking about that? We have so many quality players or players with considerable potential but they aren't managed the way they should be. We have no game plan, Ole knows next to no tactics that would actually work and he can't even use his subs smartly! His lineups? Let's not talk about that either cause it's ridiculous what he is doing most of the time.

If our players are such crap then do you seriously think Leicester City, Spurs, Arsenal, Wolves, Aston Villa, Everton, Southampton, Leeds, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and West Ham United have a better squad than us??? No, they are just managed way better, all of them, at the moment. We on the other hand are clueless as hell and so is your hero Solskjaer.. he is counting on a spark of genius from Rashford, Martial or Greenwood to win games for us but that's it. Heaven forbid we concede cause sure as fuck we can't come back from that, he doesn't know how to achieve that. Like how we defended that 2-1 yesterday.. pathetically. So yes, lack of experience is proving to be a HUGE fucking issue and it's laughable that you think it's not. In this moment of time Ole does NOT have what it takes to be Manchester United's permanent manager and appointing him on such basis was a mistake. Oh yes he went straight into management and had fantastic success with Molde in the Elitserien and of course I did not forget that he got promoted with Cardiff City.. then relegated them right away and almost sent them to the third tier... Anyway, like I said he has great achievements in the Norwegian league but with all due respect to Molde and the Elitserien that absolutely cannot be compared to the United job which is an entirely different stage. You refuse to see it cause you can't view him objectively. If he wasn't Ole Gunnar Solskjaer United legend but simply Ole Solskjaer from Kristiansund you would not overlook his shortcomings and fuckups like the way you do.

As for Woodward we ALL know he should have nothing to do with the football part and the transfers but you straight up act like Ole is somehow getting a worse treatment than the previous managers..which IS NOT TRUE. Moyes didn't last one season ffs, he was sacked with 4 games to go which was a bit disgraceful on our part tbh. He was bad but he didn't deserve that in my humble opinion. LvG got more time sure but not much more support when it came to transfers and especially the players he asked for. He managed to win an FA cup though as a parting gift. And José.. he didn't get nowhere near that backing that he needed to succeed and at the same time his ego alone was bigger than the whole club itself and created a very toxic environment in the end. He wasn't it for us either but it wasn't because of his competence. So Ole isn't some special snowflake who has it worst.. all of our managers got the short end of the stick from Woodward and the board and they had to deal with that. Solskjaer can't even put together a decent lineup or manage that squad he has at hand.. what does it say about him? He didn't get the players he asked for but if he can't even coach those he has then it's pointless to complain about that.

Controversy in Norway??? Please you did not just say that to me. Controversy? Your hero supported and played and coddled and captained a player who raped at least 5 women. He decided to just turn a blind eye to that, to excuse that because football and his personal success was more important to him than exposing and excluding Babacar Sarr from his team!!! What context or perspective am I supposed to see this from??? You are one of the very few people on here who know what was done to me and you are still implying I should just excuse that? Solskjaer supporting a rapist? I can't and I won't. You better accept he is very much morally questionable and is no way a saint and I don't fucking care that "he has won it".

Oh football!

So, I realise for people who aren’t into football this will clearly be quite bookish. However, I have recently been reading “The Promised Land” by Anthony Clavane. Its basically about the history of Leeds United post World War 2 and also semi-autobiographical in respect of his life as a Jewish Leeds United fan and the city as a whole. It’s brilliant. I’ve just got to the part where the Premier League starts (1992/1993) and Leeds sell Cantona to Man United for £1.3 million; a transfer described by Clavane as “the worst transfer decision in the history of football.

This got me thinking; there is loads about football history (specifically English) that I don’t know about (obviously) purely because I either wasn’t born, I was too young to be aware of the information or that its been consigned to the annals of time because it’s considered generally too boring or not relevant to recall by fans and media outlets alike. Therefore, when I was looking for something to do last night I noticed MOTD Top 10 FA Cup moments was on BBC1; in lieu of any real football due to the COVID. Oh how I miss football...

Anyway, I thought I would give this a go because I hoped it might fill in some of my gaps in knowledge and at the very least entertain me. Oh how wrong I was. I’m being over dramatic. The goals and clips were all fabulous clearly; however between the 50 year period they seemed to cover and Alan Shearer’s dull commentary (sorry Alan, you’re a Magpie Legend/Martyr but you are extremely dull) the programme just lacked any cohesion, sense of narrative or general bite or Va Va Voom (”Thiery, woah oh!”).

Yes Ian Wrights commentary on his own career is always extremely interesting because of the character that he is and the adversity that he had to overcome; but Gary Linekar? I am sorry but it is time that smug bastard got off TV and gave some one else a go. And I am sorry, but there was literally no discussion of the on going COVID preparations for the Prem’s mooted behind closed doors return. How about discussing and commenting on this rather than relying on the fact that the presenters are using Zoom, to create any semblance of relevance to anything at the moment?

That got me thinking. With, the Bundesliga (an un-competitive league at the best of times) behind closed doors looking like a series of bad training games gone wrong, and the Championship and Prem not coming back for at least another month (?); I still need to fill my football fix. Enter the above video. I have watched Premier League Season reviews before; and they are un-ashamedly great! I think I am going to try and watch every season up till the current one when I have nothing to!  

I tried to start from the first season of the Premier League 1992/1993, where Man United win the league for the first time under Fergie from the afore mentioned Leeds United; who the year before won the last season of the Old Division 1 proper in 1991/1992 with the infamous French man (his last season for the club and ironically the last time Leeds conquered the English Football Pyramid). Alas, there was no review available on YouTube (?). So I had to start here at 1993/1994.

Whilst the review is in 3 parts and its not the most exhilarating season (the commentary provided throughout does its best to reduce any excitement anyway), it’s worth a watch for some of the highlights I have detailed below! And bringing me back to my earlier point, there are loads of interesting snippets and forgotten pieces of trivia that have been lost to the football fan trivia annuls of time (or at least that a late 80′s lad such as myself won’t necessarily know anyway!). So without further a do, here are some of the more interesting highlights (and low lights!) i picked out incase you are too busy getting pissed on the semi-locked down bank holiday (!):

Part 1

The review begins with a blatant double footed tackle that would have easily been deemed a red in the modern game!

Roy Keane signing for Man United.

Old shots of Old Trafford looking tiny!

Glen Hoddle (a Chelsea Legend and eventual bigoted hate monger) becoming player manager of Spurs!

Aston Villa with an Opera Singer in the dressing as they are presumably getting ready for a match?! (Who knows?!).

Advertising boards with “Street Fighter” and “Sega” on them!

John Fasanu brazenly assaulting the Spurs captain Gary Mabbutt (breaking his face) and the English FA running an “anti-elbow” campaign! 

Peter Reid being sacked as Man City Player/Manager (in his first managerial role!) after 6 days (!) and Man City fans rioting in front of Maine Road and the Rozzers turning up on horse back to control said riot! Oh English football!

The emergence of 2 icons in football; Andy Cole (who goes on to have a 41 goal season; 34 in the Prem) and Ian Wright on his way to becoming an Arsenal legend.

Part 2

Tony Adams heading it into his own net! Never gets old!

A young Alan Shearer being interviewed after a Blackburn game and still managing to bore the pants off you.

The death of Sir Matt Busby during January of 1994; the man credited for putting Man United on the map.

Various Matt Le Tissier and Ryan Giggs pingers!

Souness resigning from Liverpool with the Reds 5th in the table and 23 points off first; oh how times have changed these days!

Oldham, Sheff United and Swindon in the Premier League! Spoiler alert - it doesn’t last long.

Blackburn Rovers playing in their AC Milan-esque away kit! Classic.

Paul Ince showing his class at Man United before he goes on to betray the club.

Part 3

Peter Beardsley scoring for his beloved Newcastle. I am sorry but any time any one mentions him these days I just instantly think of Bob Mortimer’s imagined impressions of him every week on Athletico Mince. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqwLFGMHiy4

Mark Hughes scoring for Man U and being recorded in the music studio singing a Man United song I have been unable to find (?!).

Cantona being sent off twice and banned for 5 games and being criticised by Alan Hansen in the MOTD studio in his very 90′s suit.

Vinnie Jones and the crazy gang beating Man U (eventual winners) and Blackburn (2nd place and next seasons winners).

Steve Bruce leading out Man United (to defeat!) in the top of table clash vs Blackburn.

An Eric Cantona homage and montage to the tune of “Isn’t she lovely” by Stevie Wonder!! Yes this actually happens!! Big WTF from me there.

The last season of standing and terraces on the Kop at Anfield.

22 teams in the Prem.

Man U lifting the trophy and saying goodbye to Bryan Robson after 13 years.

So there you have it, if you are missing football and want to fill in some of your gaps in knowledge of the English Game/obtain a load of useless facts; season reviews are my recommendations! For now anyway!

TOTTENHAM PRE-SEASON REVIEW: 10 things we learned ahead of the new season

Tottenham & # 39; s preparations for the season ended on Sunday after losing a penalty shootout to Antonio Conte's Inter Milan

Mauricio Pochettino will be happy with how his team has performed, but has shown his frustrations about the lack of signing systems for a few days until the summer window closes shut.

Here are the 10 things we have learned from the preseason campaign to Totham.

Tottenham achieved a good set of results in pre-season, losing two games and four win

IS POCH THE SECOND COMING OF JOSE?

Mauricio Pochettino is more Jose Mourinho than we think. In a move that we have come to expect from the former Manchester United manager, Tottenham's boss raised his eyebrows by using a season press conference to set the record on signatures.

He claimed that he has no control over transfers – and you can bet that President Daniel Levy would not have appreciated that outburst.

Mauricio Pochettino emphasized in a preseason conference that he has no control over transfers

MAURIC-OH-SO-KIND

Yet Poch is more than capable of being a good and generous company. During the preseason he returned to the hotel team after a meal in a top restaurant in Shanghai and saw a group of reporters enjoying a snack and a drink at the bar.

When the journalists started paying, they were told that Pochettino, who joined them for a quick chat, had settled the bill.

REQUIRES NEED TO TAKE PLACE

His Alli should see this season as an opportunity to answer his critics and prove his doubts wrong. The midfielder of England was unusually silent in 2018-19, as he contributed only five Premier League goals.

Sorry, but you're getting better. Injuries have not helped. Alli was absent for Tottenham & # 39; s last pre-season friendly against Inter Milan after a hamstring injury – his third in a year since the World Cup.

Spurs & # 39; last preseason was marred when Dele Alli stopped with a hamstring injury

KANE STILL HAS KILLER INSTINCT

Harry Kane missed 10 games of the last Premier League season due to injury but ended up with 17 goals, five shortly before the Golden Full Boot . Kane proves that he has not lost his instinctive goal scorer in the preseason.

His stunning mid-line goal against Juventus showed that. The 26-year-old must be seen as the frontman to end 2019-20 as the top scorer of Prem.

& # 39; AUDI CUP CHAMPIONS, THEY WILL NEVER THAT & # 39;

& # 39; Very happy to get my first trophy with this great club. & # 39; Sorry Lucas Moura, but the Audi Cup in the preseason does not count as your first piece of silverware with Spurs.

We had been saying it for years, but Tottenham really has to win a trophy, otherwise their most promising players – and manager – might get itchy feet.

Spurs were crown Audi Cup champions after beating Real Madrid and Bayern Munich

SPURS CAN'T AFFORD SPRING-SLIP-UP

Ask almost every football fan about his predicted top four and Tottenham will always be placed third, behind Manchester City and Liverpool. Do not think that this is a foregone conclusion.

It is worth remembering that Spurs suffered 13 Premier League defeats last season while they waited for their new home to be opened for business. They cannot afford to beat again.

NDOMBELE NEEDS BEDDING

Spurs broke their transfer record to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon in a deal that could be worth £ 64 million.

He has shown signs that he was like the real deal, but we must be patient when he comes to the defensive midfielder. Being thrown in the Premier League, the fastest division in the world, is a tough task.

THIN AT FULL-BACK

For a long time, Tottenham has been blessed with talented full backs. That is getting thinner now. Kieran Trippier has left for Atletico Madrid. Danny Rose still wants to go out, although he can be used against Aston Villa in the Premier League this weekend.

Serge Aurier, Kyle Walker-Peters and Ben Davies stay in the club while a deal for Ryan Sessegnon is dragged from Fulham.

Tottenham sold Kieran Trippier right earlier to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer

SPURS STRUGGLE TO GET DEALS OVER THE LINE

Since the signing of Ndombele, the Tottenham window has somewhat come to a halt. Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso

Spurs was associated with a sensational £ 80m movement for Paulo Dybala, which would have been a statement that signed a half times, but unfortunately that the dust has been bitten.

SPURS TOP LIST FOR MOST DURABLE STRIP

What we also learned from the preseason is that you need deep pockets if you want to buy the new Tottenham strip. The cost of the authentic set of the club is £ 161 – that's £ 90 for the shirt, £ 55 for the shorts and £ 16 for the socks.

That makes it the most expensive set in the Premier League. Chelsea is next for £ 160.85, followed by Manchester United, £ 151.85.

Tanguy Ndombele models new home kit from Spurs & # 39; & # 39; new home kit "class =" blkBorder img-share "/>

Spurs & authentic set comes at £ 161 – £ 90 for the shirt, £ 55 for the shorts and £ 16 for the socks

Tottenham & # 39; s best XI

(4- 2-3-1)

Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Ndombele, winks; Moura, Eriksen, Son; Kane

Will Christian Eriksen stay or go, regardless of whether the Dane wants to leave, he must be in the base if it is available, maybe controversial, but I omitted him Alli, he has to prove a lot this season.

Heung m in Son and Lucas Moura my men are on their wings. I went to Harry Winks about Moussa Sissoko in midfield. Full backs are Serge Aurier and Ben Davies, with Danny Rose expecting to leave the club before the window closes.

Season ahead

What will be a good season for Tottenham? In my opinion, only silverware is sufficient. They are already tipped to finish in the top four, given the state of other clubs.

Chelsea works under a starting Premier League manager in Frank Lampard and has just lost an irreplaceable player in Eden Hazard. Manchester United ended last season with one win in their last seven league games under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The absence form of Arsenal was horrible under Unai Emery last season, and questions remain as to whether they have addressed their defense problems.

So Tottenham must be the leader for a top four finish, but they also have to fight for a trophy. That is what players remember when they retire – not when they have become third or fourth.

Only silverware is sufficient if Tottenham is successful & # 39; next season & # 39; wants to participate

Main factors

SEASONAL RESULTS RESULTS

July 21 – Juventus 2-3 Tottenham

July 25 – Tottenham 1-2 Male United

July 30 – Real Madrid 0-1 Tottenham

July 31 – Tottenham 2-2 Bayern Munich (won 6-5 on penalty & # 39; s)

August 4 – Tottenham 1-1 Inter Milan (3-4 lost on penalty & # 39; s)

Tottenham wants to make a strong start in the Premier League and their first four games are certainly intriguing. Aston Villa home, Manchester City away, Newcastle home, then Arsenal away.

Negotiating good results from those four games would provide a healthy incentive for the coming season. As for the player, they need Harry Kane to prevent the injuries that stopped him last year.

Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura can do odd jobs in advance, but you can never completely replace Kane, who has been closest to Alan Shearer.
