A 4-4-2 counter attack? Are you Tony Pulis in disguise?

** The only 'awards' that count are the end of season awards not any in December such as Hernandez winning the North American player of the year or anyone winning the 'European Golden boy'


So does Champions League goal of the tournament count?

@Dan nice work. Only done preseason so far, can't get Hernandez to score!

Just a word to the wise, Hakan Calhanoglu becomes suspended in February up to the end of the season!

Me again. Has anyone watched the tv series "Zoo"?

Season 3 keeps being advertised on Sky and seems decent, just wondering if its worth catching up on and recording the new season?

Ings is a good player


He was a decent player 2 seasons ago.

Now, who knows?

Probably won't get on tonight, hopeful to be on tomorrow to crack on with whatever you're cooking up for us!

Can't be any worse than Sunderland, surely?!

I'd like to see Ings given a crack at the whip as such. His injuries may well have ruined him, or at least his chances at Liverpool, though. I'm sure a team coming up, like Brighton, would be tempted to take a risk on him.

Juventus after Alberto Moreno to replace the likely outgoing Sandro too if rumours are to be believed. I'm never sure about Moreno, he seems to have some decent qualities for an attacking full back/wing back but just never manages to get it right and produce consistently.

I'm just waiting for some signings for Huddersfield and Brighton, interested who they can attract and who they take punts on!

The day before is probably just as 'dangerous', it's the day that the knuckle dragging scum go out, get wankered and light their bon-fires.


What have Prestoners got to do with it?

Always enjoy reading these "world conquering" quests. Lots of new teams and leagues for me to read about

Going well so far, in what I think is potentially a stronger league than is credited. At least the top division, if you make it there

Good work and good luck!

Salah has been incredible in Serie A ever since he's arrived there. Salah - Firmino - Mane with Coutinho at number 8 is scary stuff


Can they do it on a cold, wet, night in Stoke though?

i.e. won't some teams just bully them?

Right, finally got some time to complete my stint with this. Let's start with the transfers
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PEt3BfBPeOYZHhNKEWroSacsLdIso2OsvOXKtdDc.png
A lot of familiar names and faces for you all there. Ulloa scored some vital goals for us so really happy with that transfer, he got the Sunderland goal of the season (unfirtunately not EPL goal of the season) and was also voted signing of the season by the club. Always good I think to have something different come off the bench and he certainly proved that. Snuck in a Ronaldinho at the end of the free transfer window because the formation I was playing suited it and how could you resist! Was using Khazri in the middle and sold Watmore, hence the reinforcements to the wings. Wanted to terminate Manquillo's loan but turns out you can't, so had to send out Billy Jones after bringing in Jenkinson (who finished as the club's top assister).

The games against the big clubs were the most infuriating of all. Especially against Chelsea where we conceded 3 in the last ten minutes after Cattermole had taken out David Luiz for an early bath and got himself suspended for the remainder of the season. City was down to two setbacks, Delph scoring a worldy in the fourth minute followed by another red card. United saw the players on their holidays already.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Lt9nJgpyamwvJVYD5ZTUecp2nyXK3cEnNoy7nQeI.png
This was majorly disappointing. We could just not really control the games and then went out on the lottery of penalties. Something ridiculous like 9-8. I thought this would be the place to score points but my team disagreed.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/GbNMIQ57sNLOeYIiYWkw4AbNUl9zXpo2S9LXiVjk.png
At least we got an important win here. When Defoe scores a backheel to equalise just before half time you have a feeling things are going to get better in the second half and boy they did. Great hat trick for him and he could have had plenty more.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/7VkMnCV5Os7OMbmzKxPDTCazEptVof7BVoP98MLp.png
So there you have it, a tight table and if we had held our nerve in certain games and not lunged in we could have arguably finished anywhere up to 12th. One point and goal difference sees us sitting pretty in 16th and the way teams were jumping around it could easily have been us relegated on goal difference. Thankfully not

Points tally:
Premier League 16th = 10 points
FA Cup 3rd Round = 5 points
Beat Middlesbrough = 5 points


Total: 20 points.

Over the moon with that but gutted about the cup run!
