I've been getting more and more into the EPL in the past few years. And I get more and more annoyed that the team I chose to back, Everton FC, has done pretty mediocre, despite having Tim Howard, one of the greatest keepers of all time. Though they did place second in the FA Cup in 2009, I still feel they should go and make some big moves to challenge the likes of Man U and Chelsea. |

That's pretty much what I was gonna say. I thought they gave a reasonable account of themselves last season, though.
I've always gone into the season figuring that the big four will completely dominate... although in the grand scheme of things I don't much care which of them takes the title. I guess I'd like it to be Arsenal for a change, if only because it'd shut my brother up, but... ehh. I don't see it happening.
But aye, I always felt like I should keep tabs on a non-league team, if only to keep hold of the "it's about the sport, not the celebrity" thing that so often gets lost in the Premier League. My mate would be upset if I didn't consider Welling United... _________________

I'm an Arsenal fan who's had enough, and I have no faith in Wenger to sort it out either. _________________

Well, I've always followed Kings Lynn as a retort to those people who bellow "Manchester United?! You glory hunter! Why don't you support your local team?!" And given that I grew up in Hunstanton - 45 miles from the nearest league side - I didn't really have a proper local team to support (Hunstanton played in a local Sunday league sometimes), so I couldn't. The Linnets were who was on the back of the Lynn News so I sort of had an interest in them (saw them live at The Walks a couple of times, and then there was their famous FA Cup run about five years back that got them on to Sky). _________________

I've never really had the problem of not having a local team, but for some reason I didn't end up supporting any of them. There's five teams within 10 miles of where I spent my first 8 years (just outside London), nowadays my nearest league team is within 20 miles but it's not the team I support. I'm actually starting to apply for jobs in the Norwich area now that I'm done with university - aside from the football, I've got a handful of friends and family up there and it's a really nice city so I figure there's no reason why I couldn't base myself there.

My brother is exactly the same, and understandably so... Christ knows what's going on there. I've always had massive respect for Wenger but he's losing it fast. _________________

Ipswich supporter here Hopefully they can accomplish something good with Jewell now managing, Roy Keane did a TERRIBLE job with them. I'd bet that if they kept him they would've got relegated. It's a shame really they sold their best player though, but fair enough they did get a hefty amount for him. _________________

Yeah, you're banned from this topic.
But, seriously: Keane would've seen you relegated, no doubt - I'm surprised he lasted to the new year, to be honest. It's hard for me to say this but... you didn't deserve that. Wickham leaving is a bit of a blow but at least there's a decent amount of money to throw at filling the gap. _________________

Gervinio(?) looks pretty good I think, he might actually bring to arsenal what chamkh failed too, a decent, 20 goal a season striker. The next Drogba, maybe |
It wont make much of a difference, he's not going to be getting any support from mid because fabregas looks like he's off to spain. arsenal need nothing short of a much improved goalkeeper, a big experianced center back, a new creative hub in the midfield, and a striker that isnt going to be spending 80% of the season out injured. unless they get all that before the end of august, then their hopes of a top 4 finish are, in my estimation, unrealistic. |

Particularly since the minor crisis earlier in the year that saw them dragging Lehmann out of retirement, the fact that Arsenal haven't signed a reliable, experienced keeper is almost mind-boggling. I've got a feeling Szczesny will be really good with a bit more experience but for now they need someone else to help fill the hole.
EDIT: apparently Arsenal have had a £10m bid for Phil Jagielka rejected. That's maybe a couple of million short, but word is Everton are looking for up to £20m which I reckon is pushing it a bit. _________________

Chalk me up for the Gunners' fan club. GIVE US SIGNINGS YOU FUCKING HACK
Inter I hope will do well in the Serie A though, huge Maicon and Inter fan here.
I also hope Liverpool goes about beating the lot of the Premiership (except my Arsenal of course). Luis Suarez <3 |
