Sanchez freekick goal keeps Wenger on his place...
we should sign him (Sanchez, not Wenger), so that in case of a Pjanic&Dybala-substitution he keeps Higuain away from taking freekicks, like he did on saturday::lol3::

Btw. Wenger plays 3-5-2 :lol:

PL team of the year:

David De Gea

Kyle Walker - Gary Cahill - David Luiz - Danny Rose

Eden Hazard - Dele Alli - N'Golo Kante - Sadio Mane

Harry Kane - Romelu Lukaku​

Not many genuine world class names. Must grate with fans despite all that money.

Why the fuck isnt Alexis there? :sergio:
It's hard to take this award seriously once you know how they're selected :D

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...voting-PFA-awards--Martin-Keown-Bootroom.html

I’ve always thought the PFA Player and Team of the Year awards were hugely important. It is the ultimate accolade to be respected and honoured by your peers. Not that I was ever selected — I kicked too many people for that!

I was the PFA representative at Arsenal for five years but gathering the players’ nominations for the awards was always a nightmare.

People were not interested, couldn’t be bothered to sit down and write out their nominations and I spent far too much time trying to pin people down. Out of a squad of 22, you’d do well to get half that number of nominations. It used to amaze me how uninterested a lot of the players were.

To get people interested, I would eventually write up a shortlist of players in each position on a whiteboard and try to get people to choose. In most cases though, I’d pick my team and a lot of the others would just copy it. For some, I filled out their forms for them and they’d just sign at the bottom.
Some of them didn’t like the fact they couldn’t vote for team-mates, while others would make sure they didn’t put in a rival for a place in the team of the year.

The English players took most interest because they had grown up following it. Last season there were six Englishmen in the team of the season, a surprising amount.

The same lack of interest applied to the awards evening. There were lots of players from outside the top flight there but not from the Premier League. Arsenal sent people when Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp won but there wasn’t a huge presence in other years. Other clubs were the same although all players are invited.

LOL sounds like an award for janitors no one wants to go to.


But seriously, Sanchez has 19 goals and like 9 assists...Thats pretty much same amount of goals as Kane and way more assists, half the time as winger even.


One of Mane or Kane should defenitely be booted for Sanchez.

What a list of scrubs. That back 4 is just hilariously mediocre.

That's a team that'd go out of the CL Round of 16, perhaps even out of the group stage given the Spurs contingent

Heard about Ugo's death literally 5min before the CL draw was made. Such a shock as I thought he'd be ok and pull through like Muamba did a few season or so ago.

Awful news. RIP big man.

    I actually rate Kyle Walker, I see him as a very good player and probably the most complete English player if you ask me.
