The Big Statement Thread 2013/14

[Guest John Hancock]

I think, whatever happens in the league or in the World Cup, Louis van Gaal will be a Premier League manager next season, which is a shame, because it means the Dutch national squad will probably poach Frank de Boer from Ajax, where he's been excellent.

[Guest Boyo]

Big updates done today, and I'll finish the rest in two weeks :xyx.

 

Once that's done, I'll start the "Summer Transfer Window Big Statement Thread", which will be a big statement thread based on the summer transfer window :xyx :P

 

Cheers!

How about a World Cup edition?

[Guest Boyo]

Yeah we could do a mini one, perhaps in the form of an actual World Cup, with groups of four and knockout rounds...

 

Hmmm, I wonder if it could work..?

 

Cheers!

[King 277]

England won't make it out of their group, there you go the first one :)

[BRM 220]

Thought you would be behind England this Summer considering they're basically Liverpool-lite

 

Steven Gerrard will retire from international football once England are out.

[Guest The B-Man]

England won't make it out of their group, there you go the first one :)

 

Yes they will, Italy won't :)

[Guest Boyo]

I don't know why but I think he'll be sacked wen top 4 is mathematically impossible, a caretaker will take charge until the summer then a full time replacement will come in, probably after the World Cup of it's an international manager like Van Gaal.

Oh my f'n God Ryan you've called this one bang on the mon-

 

Oh you were talking about Tim Sherwood :P

 

Cheers!

[Ryan 188]

Haha mannnn if only I said Moyes! :lol

[Guest Jamster26]

Nice to see my Sturridge to get atleast 20 goals predication coming true. Shame I didn't put a proper bet on it! Shame we couldn't keep him for longer at Bolton but was good whilst it lasted.

[Guest Boyo]

OP updated :xyx. I'll finish this (with scores) some time this weekend. One or two of the statements need some research :P.

 

I'll also come up with either a World Cup BIG STATEMENT thread, or a transfer window BIG STATEMENT thread, or both. Hmm.

 

Actually, thinking aloud, I may just do a World Cup "thing" thread. Hmm, something fun and World Cuppy. In a thread. brb.

 

Cheers!

1. Bacary Sagna

2. Robin Van Persie

3. Cesc Fabregas

 

Cheers!

[King 277]

Bacary Sagna

[Guest Magic]

Oft, bad year for me, I've gone from top to bottom in one fell swoop. Must do better next season.

 

Also, Fabregas.

[Guest John Hancock]

Van Persie I'd say.

[Guest Boyo]

Right, erm, since there was no winner, round 2 :lol :

 

Complete Boyo's "Wenger XI":

 

Seaman

 

Sagna -- Campbell -- Adams -- ?

 

Fabregas -- Vieira

 

Walcott -- ? -- Pires

 

?

 

Cheers!

[Guest John Hancock]

Seaman

 

Sagna -- Campbell -- Adams -- Cole

 

Fabregas -- Vieira

 

Walcott -- Bergkamp -- Pires

 

Henry

[Evil Gringo 279]

Pshhh... That line up is rule invalid for a start because...

 

A) Dixon and Lauren were both better right backs then Sagna

B) Freddie was a better player then Walcott

 

Although J-Rock's picks look right to me - Unless he Bergkamp is behind Ramsey in the pecking order somehow?

[King 277]

Seaman

 

Sagna -- Campbell -- Adams -- Lauren

 

Fabregas -- Vieira

 

Walcott -- Bergkamp -- Pires

 

Henry

[Guest Boyo]

We have a winner.

 

...drumroll...

 

Congratulations to John Hancock, Big Statement Champion 2013/14.

 

Well played all, we'll see you all again in August :xyx.
