RE: OT: The NEW Official Soccer Thread
Manchester City and Swansea finally confirm the Bony deal today. Looks like we won't sign a striker this January, but will add one in the Summer. Scouting Austin, Ings, and Cisse.

I know Crystal Palace keeps bugging us for Shelvey and Gomis, but we won't sell Gomis this window. His release clause doesn't activate till the Summer. I could see us selling Shelvey, but I don't see Palace fronting 10 million for him.

RE: OT: The NEW Official Soccer Thread


BT Sport recently premiered a brand-new documentary about Wimbledon FC entitled “The Crazy Gang.”

The full-length documentary features exclusive interviews with most of the players who were The Crazy Gang and featured for Wimbledon in their famous FA Cup victory in the 1988 final against Liverpool at Wembley Stadium. Some of the footballers interviewed include Dennis Wise, Vinnie Jones, John Fashanu, Dave Beasant and former manager Dave Bassett.

“The Crazy Gang” is a fascinating film that delves into the psyche of the players, as well as how they were able to be so successful in the 1980s culminating with arguably the biggest FA Cup Final shock in the history of the 134-year tournament.

Ah, Vinnie Jones, the only footballer to play a footballer acting like a hooligan ever.

It's kind of sad. Britton came up lame in training Friday and is out. Shelvey is still suspended, and Ki is on international duty. That's 3 of our best players out. A Fourth in Jefferson Montero is still out with an injured hamstring, and a fifth in Bony now plays for Manchester City.

That means we had 4 available midfielders with any PL experience, for a 5 man midfield. The choice was, start a young Portugeese striker in his 2nd game for the club in an experimental lineup, or pull someone off the U21's and tell them they are starting against the best team in the World. Monk went with the experimental option.

We've given them 2 of their 4 goals on giveaways out of our defensive midfield pairing of Striker in Sigurddson, and a Spurs Loanee in Tom Carroll who isnt a defensive midfielder.

Leicester's run of games coming up is awful. It's all Top half of the table teams and Everton. They could be cut adrft in a few weeks time.

QPR drops more points at home and is in serious trouble unless they figure something out about their road woes.

Oh, and Thank God next week is FA Cup, and Swansea has 2 weeks to get over this before going to Southampton. Two weeks to heal as well.

Difference is, we've got a game Saturday and you guys dont. Tricky match at Blackburn, but I can thoroughly say that Blackburn is not as good as Chelsea or Southampton.

Ended 5-0 an epic trouncing and could have score another 3 goals at least, both Costa and Oscar were sitting on hat tricks and had shots at a hat trick. Oscar got robbed of his by the Schurrle goal.

It's kind of sad our that our subs would be first 11 for most BPL teams.
