Xabi is walking into hell - wouldn't advise.

To be honest - this was my first impression too. He was good at Leverkusen but was expected to step up going forward.

Went to Real, unhealthy atmosphere, was sacked. Wasn't really his fault - but people will remember the sacking.
Now Chelsea, unhealthy atmosphere, he isn't doing his future career any favors here. Get the sack there and your next job is 'Roma' instead of 'PSG'.

How many managers sacked by Chelsea in the last 4 years are doing better for themselves or got a bigger offer somewhere else? I guess most of them became unemployed after their time here - the only motive anyone would want to work with these owners is for the money and the long contract offer.

Xabi left a stable and invincible team to Real Madrid for money and fame and now he's back to Chelsea - he came for the money there's nothing else to say.

I haven't seen any of Bayer's league games this season; is Diaby still with them? Dude should be on Xabi's first list of players to buy- strong, fast and skillful.

To be honest, I completely forgot about this thread after I set arbitrary picks for each match every week. Usually I just do 2-1 or 2-0 results - never draws. I think I'm still in the middle of the table or somewhere close to that, which is OK for what is basically a random strategy.

Would've been higher if Permier League teams were not playing for draws in what feels like every other week.

Superbru is about luck for sure,,, over the last few seasons I practically only set picks for the 'big teams' randomly and can sometimes go up or down. I used to 'research' more in the first couple seasons but I believe I did better with random picks, always within 1-0 to 2-1 also, that is the best strategy in the end and just hope for luck to hit.

Picking like more than 3-0 is very risky and brings very little rewards in Superbru.

BTW Italy are the league with the most draws among Europe big leagues, but England is getting more draws with each season, apparently.

After the referee decision in the West Ham match recently it is completely a scandal that red card wasn't given to Havertz tonight. I think that Manchester City's championship has been stolen this season. Now it is seriously discussed from now on that Pep is going to leave the team by the end of the season. I wish he was able to leave Manchester City as the champion deservedly.

I think Mafia is responsible for stealing that, so lets ban him!  
Man City still have theoretical chance to win the title but now Arsenal needs to lose against Crystal Palace, and that is not very likely to happen.
I cant stand Arsenal winning any trophies this season with their boring style of play, and I really hope PSG kick their asses in Champions League.

First West Ham and now Burnley, wow. Arsenal needed to get mafia help against 2 relegated teams just to win the title 1-0 and 1-0,,, but even if they win their next one 1-0, Chelsea's record under Mourinho survives  

But you know, mafia helped my team last match against West Ham so I do not care, now we need 1 point tonight! You guys are lucky, you have 90% chance for us silly Tottenham for another season in Premier League
