English Premier League 2015/2016

[J..]

I'm not surprised at all. Italy was caught in the 90's (Juventus), Spain in the 00's (The Fuentes case) and now is it Englands turn. Arsenal is probably not using a shit do to the amount of continuous injuries to a number of their players but who knows.

tbh if it was up for voting I might be inclined to vote for allowing the use of PEDs If anyone can use it then you have a level playing field and still you'll have to work very hard to achieve any success, let alone top results and the second reason would be that some simply didn't win the genetic lottery and they are just catching up. Also, like most regulation, the anti-doping one seems arbitrary. tldr I don't feel the issue is ethically clear-cut.

Anyone else watching Leicester-Southampton besides me?

They either should disallow them for everyone or make them a legal and give them to everyone.

When everyone is doping, no one is doping.

Yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if Leicester got a second.

 

[Besnik]

Yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if Leicester got a second.

Yea they are getting close. At least they should not concede at this stage. They are going to be +7 eventually

Sport organizations know their athletes use PED's and probably can't stop it, or it would cost too much to stop it all together. That's why drug tests are literal jokes, anyone can pass them.

Conte to Chelsea official

It'll be interesting. It's a big formational change and do many teams in the Premiership willing play 3 at the back? He's going to need to sign some new CBs. How will Hazard fit into his formation (for example) - or is he off to RM?

Interesting times. This is quite a disruptive signing IMHO.

I'll be curious to see a back 3 in EPL.

 

[thatdude]

It's going to be extremely tough for him to implement a back 3, IMO. Especially since half his summer will be spent leading Italy in th Euros. Back 3 takes time to perfect.

I think he will still start the season with a back 4 and morph it from there if he gets the required personnel.

Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Conte :notbad:

just sign a few more superstar players and they'll be in clear runaway mode

Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Conte :notbad:

Which side is Mou coaching?

 

[Ronin]

Most likely Man Utd but still not confirmed.

 

[Handoyo]

Pretty sure Guardiola regularly used 3 at the back too, especially in his Barca days. Not too sure about his Bayern tbh.

Fantastic news for the EPL though. Tbh, in the past I'd be jealous, unhappy and scared, because it will just widen the gap between Serie A and EPL. But right now, I'm in despair that Serie A will ever regain its glory days, so the neutral football fan in me is just happy that the most televised league, with hours that makes more sense (most matches are 9/10pm local time) is getting stronger and more exciting.

 

[Eustass]

Conte repeatedly said his preferred formation is 4-2-4/4-4-2, I'm pretty convinced he won't use 3 man backline in Chelsea.

The Payet goal soiled my panties.

 

[Javier'sSon]

What a goal, no one could even pull that shit even on FIFA.

I love goals from freekicks, been a while since I've seen us score directly from one.

 

[J..]

Great free-kick.

Like I said many times, all the big stars will play for Madrid and Barca. All 9/10 and 10/10 players. EPL sign 7/10 players.
