Koke Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 The conspiracies are in full swing. Even Stan Collymore is on it. He doesn't like the fact that Hazard and Fabregas have come out and said they don't want Tottenham to win the league. Yeah how dare they not want their local rivals to win the league. That has been translated into Chelsea are gonna miss open goals and roll over for Leicester. Apparently Swansea also rolled over for us. Stoke obviously didn't. That was all down to Spurs being supreme and THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE EVER EVER!!!!1!1!!!1! But us beating Swansea with the same scoreline is just Swansea not trying hard enough. Be prepare for a week full of daft conspiracies that Sunderland played better against Arsenal but were poor against us the week before because Sunderland obviously care more about us winning the title than their own survival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 Would love Pulis to scum a Pulisball result tomorrow night, then us win next weekend with an obvious non-penalty having had 11% of the possession, just to see that forum drown in a sea of collective bile and tears. If that happens they're gonna dig out the Pulis quotes after we played WBA as proof that WBA were "saving themselves" in the last few weeks just to put in a performance against Tottenham and help Leicester out. You know it's coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SpideyDreamerMUFC Posted 25 April 2016 Popular Post Share Posted 25 April 2016 First of all hello foxes fans Lifelong MUFC supporter here, former season ticket holder up until 2011 when money and life commitments ended up proving too much to handle. First of all can I just say that IMO you guys have consummated the greatest achievement in English football history (even finishing 2nd) and it has been an absolute joy and pleasure to watch. I have never been endeared towards a team that is not my own in my entire life, up until the point where I have ALMOST shed tears for you guys (as I keep writing you off and you keep proving my pessimism to be just that--undue pessimism). Thank you for taking a huge beautiful shit on the status quo; and thank you for providing the ultimate antidote to the bottomless chasm of oil-rich success that has ruined this fantastic game for so long now - I thought it would never end in my lifetime. It has rekindled a lot of lost love I have accumulated over the past 10 years or so, and has resuscitated me out of my sleepwalk/zombie like following of the game in recent years. Another point I must stress is that I feel like all this ^^^ arse-licking and sentimentalism from other clubs is HIGHLY patronising and undermining/discrediting to how merited you have been as a genuine title side, and for that I do acknowledge it and I do apologise! Anyways enough of that and back to the point of this thread: I will be honest, before the season started I would have been delighted for Tottenham (if it wasn't United who won it) as I also believe it is a fairytale story and dethrones the usual suspects (although not to the same magnitude as you by any stretch). Tottenham would have been the most conceivable fairy-tale at the start for sure. But after browsing their forum this morning (wondering if they were at least respectful of your achievement) I say **** THEM. They are acting like they are a massive club, but they should be grateful for the season they have had and not begrudge and denigrate you guys for your amazing success. Another thing, just to make the narrative that bit more special, what about Claudio beating the man that was deemed superior and the necessary step-forward from him 12 years ago... only to make that same man lose his job whilst pulling off the biggest shock in football history with a team not worth more than one of their oil-purchased stars.... could not have been written any better! Reminder: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/3742477.stm(check the patronising tone of the article and the comments from Chelsea representatives) I bet they would bite your arm off for him back now. Peace. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kushiro Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 Thank you for taking a huge beautiful shit on the status quo; I've read dozens of Fleet Street articles about Leicester this season but no-one has summed it up as well as that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 (edited) What's Wenger been spouting yesterday/today about us? Can't find any articles but seen references to it on twitter. Arsene Wenger talks Arsenal 'guilt', Leicester success, criticism and injuries in Sky Sports exclusiveBy James Walker-RobertsLast Updated: 24/04/16 6:31pm Arsene Wenger has told Sky Sports Arsenal feel "guilty" over their failed Premier League title challenge. The Gunners head to relegation-threatened Sunderland on Super Sundayhoping to climb back above Manchester City into third place as the pressure to seal a top-four spot increases. Wenger admits his side have not been "clinical enough" to challenge for a first league crown since 2004, but reckons they have faced some unfair criticism during a season that has seen Leicester emerge as shock potential champions. From fan scrutiny and the games he feels were turning points in the season to how he thinks the Premier League is changing, Wenger lifts the lid to reporter Geoff Shreeves... Arsenal eased past West Brom last time out but are currently 10 points behind leaders Leicester SHREEVES: What do you make of the top-four race and where you sit in it? WENGER: "It's very simple. We all feel guilty and we are all looked at like it's a shame we are not winning the league because Leicester are at the top. "But on the other hand, you have to say Leicester have not stolen the points. They have earned them, they have quality. If you look at the PFA Team of the Year, they have many players in there, so they are good players. Leicester have surprised Wenger - but he admits they have been "absolutely efficient" "I am convinced that all the teams today look at themselves and think 'how could that happen?', but when you win so many times 1-0 like Leicester have done, you see they have been absolutely efficient. "It is true that technically many teams in the league are better, but many teams have had more problems. Leicester have had no injuries, many teams have had more competitions. Leicester went out of the FA Cup quite early, but you have to give them credit when everybody expected them to drop they didn't and when they had to turn up they did. "It will be interesting psychologically to study Leicester because it's a very interesting case. There is a theory that says to go to the absolute utmost of your talent you need to suffer in life. When you look at the Leicester team, not one career of all these players was obvious, like starting on the red carpet at 18 years of age in the Champions League. Wenger says N'Golo Kante and his Leicester team-mates have shown "top mental qualities" "Many of the players have been rejected before… it is an interesting case. N'Golo Kante, nobody wanted him in France for a while. That is a good explanation for his character. "These players had a dream that was not easy to obtain, but when they are in a position to reach it, they are ready for the fight. The lesson of the season is Leicester. Maybe they are not the most prestigious in quality of the passing, but they found a way to be efficient and have shown mental qualities that are absolutely top." SHREEVES: Are you saying Leicester were hungrier than anyone else, a criticism of your team and everybody else's teams? WENGER: "That is the difficulty of being honest in the media today. As soon as you come up with a quality it shows that you don't have that quality. They were hungry and efficient. My team is hungry also, but we have to deal with many problems and many competitions as well. "When you play on Wednesday in Barcelona and then Saturday morning, you go to Crystal Palace or Everton, it changes things. Next year, I predict that Leicester will have more problems. Wenger has urged the club's fans to come and support the team "They have found a good balance, hungry players who have not had obvious careers. We are accused the most, but we beat them twice. So we should be less accused than others for not having beaten them. "They go to Man City, Tottenham, Man United, Liverpool and have only lost three games. At the end of the day, you have to say well done. Sport is about performance and when the team performs, you have to be big enough and say well done and respect it and respect Claudio Ranieri for what he has done." On Leicester's style of play, having the least possession and passing accuracy… WENGER: "You cannot last like that. If they win a title like that, you have to say well done and respect. But in the Champions League, if they don't touch the ball, it will be difficult on Saturday. When you run after the ball on Wednesday against Barcelona and then turn up on Saturday away from home, it becomes more difficult. "They will have to adapt, but I am not intelligent enough to see what will happen to them. I am just big enough to say well done to them." Wenger believes injuries hampered Arsenal this term SHREEVES: What did for you and your team was the run of results in March? WENGER: "There were two turning games - Man United and Swansea. At the end of the day, we had many injuries and it was the first time where we could not do a lot about it. "We didn't have Welbeck, Wilshere, Cazorla, all traumatic injuries, not muscular. The positive thing is we discovered players like Elneny and Iwobi. But we were not clinical enough. "The quality of our game collectively for most of the season was good and in March and April, but we didn't get the points we needed and we were in a position where we had to win every game so it makes it more difficult. "Then the coincidence of fixtures. Now we play Sunderland, and we could have played a Sunderland on holiday with nothing to go for, in March and April that has a big influence. I have seen games recently where teams didn't turn up. That has changed a bit in the Premier League as well." Arsenal suffered a shock home defeat to Swansea in March SHREEVES: In the Premier League, is the game in terms of effective football, changing? WENGER: "Yes. The physical levels of teams has gone up and tactical knowledge of defending has gone up. Players who do not contribute to team work are kicked out everywhere. "Then you go two ways: you say 'look that doesn't work any more so we have to change our style, and I wish you good luck when you kick the ball anywhere after people have seen good football for 10-15 years', or you say 'we have analysed well where we are not efficient enough and we do better with the style we play'. "We have to go that way. Our passing has to be quicker, our movement has to be sharper and our efficiency in the final third has to be better. We don't have anybody with 20 goals in the league, so that is a handicap." SHREEVES: Have you ever known a more downbeat atmosphere at the Emirates than against West Brom? WENGER: "You want your fans to be enthusiastic, and we are not playing to avoid relegation. Ideally, you want fans to be happy and I think they can be very proud of a lot at this club. We want them to be behind the team, to be proud of the club and the values and consistent achievement of the club. It is not enough and we can understand that, but that doesn't stop us from performing. The top level of sport is to master all situations." Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry admits the fans are unhappy with the club but it's vital they keep coming to the matches and supporting the team SHREEVES: What about the challenge of facing Sunderland? WENGER: "I think Sam Allardyce has found a settled team that he plays in every game and he has made a decision that it's them or nothing. He knows his team, they know how to behave. The psychological impact of going down or not motivates the players and puts more pressure on this game - on us and them. "Both teams are under pressure so the intensity is huge and the psychological impact of the result is huge. Both teams have to deal with that. We expect a very intense game, fighting for survival, players are more ready to give everything. "I watched them recently, they played good football, they have a good midfield and good variety and Jermain Defoe can score goals form nothing." http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/10254525/arsene-wenger-talks-arsenal-guilt-leicester-success-criticism-and-injuries-in-sky-sports-exclusive Edited 25 April 2016 by MC Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a point about next season in the Champions League but I actually think our set up is perfect for that competition but our league form may then suffer due to players being knackered. We'll see, the squad will be a lot bigger next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know what they make of Atletico Madrid, a team even less interested in needless possession than we are. Clowns. I would be totally honest if I felt like you were playing poor "win at all costs" football, but you're not at all. Yesterday you terrorised Swansea as far as I could see and you never took your foot off the pedal until the final whistle. Proper champions performance. I think Spurs fans are a little bit obsessed with match stats (which are the most misleading thing ever at times) which don't look great in your favour or reflective of true events. I checked the stats expecting Leicester domination which shows how efficient your approach has been. Some of your direct football has been absolutely excellent and pin-point precision. MUFC have dominated possession in every game we have played this year almost, and it has been a snore-fest. Some of your passing moves again scum (Man City) were reminiscent of old Arsenal too. I would take 44% possession and effective, ultra-potent football over the tip-tap shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
