officeglenn Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 5 hours ago, Crabcake47 said: Chelsea defeat Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup final on an early Eden Hazard penalty. Paul Pogba, the £89m man, misses an open header to potentially equalize with less than 10 minutes to go. Tuned in about the 70th minute and it was a pretty drab match. But then again, I was rooting for both teams to lose. If one of them had to win, I guess Chelsea was the better option since it meant ManU couldn't equal Arsenal's 13 FA Cups and Olivier Giroud wins another trophy (4th FA Cup in 5 years for him).

officeglenn Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 In what might be at once the worst-kept secret of the week and the biggest swerve Twitter ITKs have ever been handed, Arsenal have appointed former PSG and Sevilla boss Unai Emery as their new "head coach." I think they've deliberately avoided the term "manager" because, with the new front office structure at the club – including Raul Sanllehi and Sven Mislinstat – Emery will be mostly focused on on-field tactics, while other people handle transfers and contract negotiations. Arsenal also announced a sleeve sponsorship deal with the Rwanda Development Board. The left sleeve of the club's shirts (men, women, U23s) will feature a "VISIT RWANDA" logo. It's rumored to be one of the largest, if not the largest, sleeve sponsorship deal in the Premier League, though no financials have been confirmed.

Crabcake Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Here’s my official prediction for tomorrow. Madrid dominate possession to the tune of 65% but produce no real chances until Ronaldo creates an inch of space and puts them ahead 1-0. Salah ties it in the second half on a counter attack, Liverpool miss three sitters and Madrid win on a 95’ goal, either a baloney penalty on Ronaldo or a Ramos header off a corner.

Crabcake Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 0-0 at the break. Two injuries, Carvajal is out for Real and replaced by Nacho. Sergio Ramos, master of the dark arts, dirtily pulls down Mo Salah and gets away with it, forcing Liverpool’s best player out of the game to be replaced by the still coming back from injury Adam Lallana. In case you can’t tell, I’m still a bit salty about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wolf Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Real Madrid with one incredible, world-class goal. And two incredible goals, that are incredible for very different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I hate that club so much. They don’t deserve it. They won this game because they injured our best player and got lucky for two goals. EDIT: And they got here on a late penalty from Ronaldo and a goalie error that benzema pounced on as the GWGs in the previous two rounds. Perez must have sold his soul to the devil to give this club so much dang luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Oh by the way, Mo Salah is going to miss the World Cup because Sergio Ramos dislocated his shoulder. So that’s a “go not-Spain” for the WC, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Is Real Madrid basically the successor to Man U during their golden era with Sir Alex When they won 13 Premier League titles from 1993-2013? (Ie the impossibly seemingly eternally successful team that is very polarizing) And considering Crabcake is a Liverpool fan..... Dare I say he hates Real Madrid more than the Penguins?

I respect the rest of the team, specifically Bale, but not him. 1 hour ago, SabresRule7361 said: And considering Crabcake is a Liverpool fan.....
