@Skrag what is happening
Quote from: Cirus on 14-12-2015, 16:56:47 PM@Skrag what is happeningThe Premier League is really unpredictable this season; Leicester at the top after 16 games (fetch yeah!), Jamie Vardy is having a party, he recently beat the Premier League record for scoring in consecutive matches (11 in a row). Rihad Maraz is another brilliant player, bought for just £400k from some unknown French team and he's probably the best player in the Premier League at the moment. Chelsea 2 points from the relegation zone, Leicester beat them 2-1 earlier this week. We've got three games left this year - Everton (away), Liverpool and Man City. Absolutely unmissable games, fetching fantasic!

Absolutely unmissable games, fetching fantasic!I've been following all season, it's just hard to believe what is happening right now. I watched Leicester against United and Chelsea and they looked great in both. Against Chelsea they were especially impressive, they have a style that works and I hope they can keep it up to get a top 4 finish. Those are 3 really good fixtures to end the year though, I really want to see how they do against Klopp.Also a big fan of Bournemouth right now. I remember watching them play a friendly against a full strength Real Madrid in Bournemouth in 2013 after they were promoted to the Championship and the atmosphere was really cool. Then I found out about Eddie Howe's story and how he kept saying that if he ever managed in the Premier League he only wanted to do it by getting Bournemouth promoted. Now he's done that and they're beating United and Chelsea! I really hope they stay up and Howe sticks around.Also this is the worst fetching season I've experienced as a Sunderland fan and I've followed a lot of poo pooty seasons. Even the lower league and non-league teams I follow aren't having very good seasons.

In any given match they only have the ball roughly 1/3 of the time, but still win matches with their blinding pace up the field. I'm just worried about relying on Vardy and Mahrez too much; if either of those players is taken out for a long time, Leicester might start losing ground in the table rankings.Don't know much about Sunderland, except that decent striker Darren Bent used to play for them. You've got a new manager now, Sam Allardyce; he might turn things around.

Not even halfway through the season and they have virtually guaranteed avoiding relegation. Assuming they really drop off and only pick up half as many points in the second half you're still looking at something like 50-60 points and a top half finish as a worst case scenario.Sunderland buys poo poo players on ridiculous wages who only show up every once in a while. They were good enough to withstand Palace and nick it 1-0, beat Stoke 2-0 and play a very tight game against Arsenal and then completely poo poo the bed and lose against Watford 0-1 because they can't create chances. Big Sam is a good hire and the team has looked relatively better but unless he has some quality signings planned for January I don't think this squad can stay up. One positive has been Duncan Watmore who is 21 years old and a real bright spot so far. The U21 spot is dominating the U21 league right now so hopefully there will be some players who can quickly contribute if/when we get relegated.Also Chelsea sacked Mourinho, what a mistake
