England have already been relegated, are playing for nothing against another team playing for nothing, in the last match before the World Cup, and Southgate is playing Maguire, who shouldn't be in the squad, and Kane? Ivan Toney gets called up and just sits on the bench...

Arsenal's kids are maturing, the manager is growing wiser, and now they have an elite man up front... this team could win a title, if not this year, in the next few.

On Saturday, we have Athletic Club Bilbao playing Athletico Madrid at San Mames, in match that could decide a Champions League place, as Athletic Bilbao comes into this match in third with seventeen points  and Athletico Madrid is fourth with sixteen points, along with fifth-placed Real Betis and sixth-placed Real Sociadad.

For the love of God, please stop polluting this thread with your sh**t. The rest of your post is bad enough, but saying a match in October could decide a Champions League place is worthy of a ban if this weren't an off-topic thread the mods don't give a crap about.

Aston Villa just made an amazing hire after sacking Steven Gerrard, bringing in Villareal manager Unai Emery.

Literally the only thing Emery hasn't won is the UEFA Champions League. He's easily one of the best managers in the sport. If Aston Villa is willing to give him time and a healthy budget to work with, they could easily be in at least the top six within three years.

That is a gross mischaracterization of his CV. He hasn't won anything other than the Europa League except domestic titles at PSG, which basically doesn't count. Now, 4 European trophies with clubs that are not remotely traditional powers, including a ridiculous 3 on the bounce with Sevilla and one with Villareal, who were even more unfancied, is an astonishing track record, but let's not inflate his trophy cabinet. He is an excellent coach and Villa have done well to get him.

Ajax - Union Berlin is tasty, reckon Mayor Halsema will follow her Belgian counterpart and try to ban all Germans from Amsterdam for that.
Why? Will be trying to go to the away game. Hope they wouldn't reciprocate a move like that.

It's the latest trend amongst certain mayors to ban any fanscene that is remotely a bit on the rough side. Leuvens mayor saw their UEFA van and banned not just them from the stadium but the whole city and gave orders to the police to interrogate Germans. Halsema is capable of similar...see also : her ban of PSV fans for ... reasons...

They should permanently ban the English, then.

Ronaldo looks set for Saudi Arabia for an obscene ~€200m/yr that makes Mbappe look underpaid.

Luis Enrique out as Spain Manager.

I have to think the job is Pep Guardiola's if he wants it. It's questionable if he's willing to leave Manchester City midseason though.
Outspoken Catalan nationalist Guardiola will never get the Spain job.

Arsenal 7 points clear on New Years Day if this result holds... Who would've predicted this?

January transfer window will be very interesting.

Arsenal and Napoli both on 50 points halfway through their seasons and there's more daylight between first and second in England than there is between first and fourth in Germany...

Jesse Marsch out at Leeds United.

With Greg Berhalter's future as manager of the U.S National Team in question (to be generous to Berhalter), could Marsch's new availability make him the new manager of the U.S National Team?
Jesse Marsch is young and a pretty ambitious guy. It's hard to see him taking the USA job unless he cannot find a decent club job, which admittedly might be the case.

Union Berlin have the chance to overtake Bayern on top of the table if they can beat rather hopeless Schalke at home.

Easy matchups for Manchester United and Roma (especially after Manchester United's thrilling battle with Barcelona). Arsenal's got a tricky match with Sporting and really should be prioritizing the Premier League more anyways.
Huh You could make better posts with a random text generator.

The #3 and #5 teams in Spain are "easy" while the #4 team in Portugal is "tricky"? Arsenal is an overwhelming favorite over Sporting while Roma is probably a slight underdog to Sociedad.

Bayern Munich fall behind Dortmund in the title race... definitely missing Lewandowski but there wasn't much they could do about him leaving. Still, they are massively underperforming for such a stupidly talented team.

Given how well Tuchel did at Chelsea, this is an amazing hire...but on the other hand, he really underperformed at PSG, especially with the roster he had.
"Really underperformed" = won the league in both seasons and made it to the finals of the Champions League for the first time in club history, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich, who had an even more frightening squad? Sounds like a pretty good job to me.

Tell that to the ownership at PSG. I'm sure they'd love to hear it.
Tuchel was not sacked because of poor results, he was sacked because he fell out with Leonardo and the owners. Again, proving you know literally nothing and just put random words together.

Wild match between Napoli and Milan. Winning Serie A is already a huge accomplishment for Napoli, but you have to say this was a missed opportunity.
