Na dude City are getting Europe's attention because of Pep, first time an English team has since Fergie.
Burnley are literal who's.

Bournemouth up to 9th now only 5 points behind Burnley and play great football.
Howe is the best young English manager around.

This might actually be the right thread for this considering what people think of him but personally I think Brendan Rodgers is.

Right after I posted I immediately remembered Brendan. After some thought, I'm inclined to agree with you.
He has an outstanding record with Swansea and Celtic, took Liverpool closer to the title than anyone else has since the end of your golden era with possibly one of the shittest defences I've ever seen, doesn't have an issue playing younger players and has developed heaps of players into solid PL players (Williams, Allen, Ibe) or world class stars (Suarez, Coutinho, Sterling).

Howe is the best English coach. Hate how the Poms expand it to be 'British'. Only way they claim Andy Murray

Gosha suggested, I think he was serious, that he would be a great replacement for Conte and the more I think about it the more i want it to happen.

You are definitely the most anti-English bloke on here. What’s with that?Howe is the best English coach. Hate how the Poms expand it to be 'British'. Only way they claim Andy Murray

I don't see B-Rog getting touched by a top 6 club in England unless he takes over an Everton or West Ham and turns them into a Champions League club.
When Everton sacked Koeman, I did start thinking about Brendan going to Goodison, and they would fit each other like a glove. They've got a young squad with players for the style of football that he likes.
As for your club, Jardim or Tuchel would be your best replacements for Conte.

I just think it's lame you need to claim or poach overseas athletes to achieve sporting success. For a country of nearly 55m that's rather pathetic.

I do want Rodgers. He had Liverpool playing scintillating football and he knows how to develop youth. He doesn’t have a big personality either so I can’t see him clashing with any of the players.

I think the only pathetic thing is you who feels it’s such a big deal. There’s more important things in life to worry about

Rodgers and Sterling seemed to clash a bit. (Steady bruv etc)

The Champions League being spread out throughout the season and played between league fixtures makes it a less exciting tournament than NHL playoffs, AFL Finals and the World Cup.

How would you prefer to see it played?

The way I would like it is all the domestic leagues play their seasons. Then after that the top teams make it to the Champions League and the tournament is played.
So when do the players get to rest?

Interesting idea I reckon. Not a bad one.

They are playing the same amount of games, it's just the EPL games come first, there'd have to be a few mid week EPL games where the CL games were.
