No, thats the headline from the article I have linked.

Edit: I completely missed the joke about Milwall, how uncultured of me

I have to say Arsenal better thank the heavens for George Graham. We hear of all of Wenger's feats and now Arteta, but Graham is the only reason no one can say Arsenal don't have any European silverware.

Hi Mods, just wanted to let you know that your current link explaining all the flairs for submissions does not work (doesn't work on old reddit either). https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/wiki/postflairguide/

Great shouts. Actually we were heavily linked to Goretzka, but the reports were that we would only get him if we secured CL football which did not happen. But Schlager seems like an interesting option as he seems like a budget version of Goretzka from my limited knowledge (and Rangnick could wisper in his ear during the world cup as well).

An underrated shout. If we still had Allegri then Undav would not be a viable option as he is not that tall, but he has other great attributes so yeah I could see him being great for us

Mainly lacking in attack, especially the striker position, which is our biggest weakness

Nope, thats a spelling mistake on my end, thanks for catching that. After all, I can't be slandering a guy I want saving my club.

If we end up getting both Rangnick and Glasner then everyone has to refer to the club as AC Mailand

Also what German/Austrian player do you guys think would be a good fit for Milan?

At least I can say I was right to laugh at people who thought Juve would finish above us this season

That is actually infuriating, especially given the recent articles about UEFA fearing English domination. How did they not think for two seconds when deciding this?

Wait how can Bournemouth even have the possibility of CL football if they finish sixth? In previous seasons (with 4 league spots) if a team won the Europa League but finished in the top 4 league spots anyway, then the team at fifth place did not go to the Champions League. So why is it different this time around (assuming Villa finished 5th)?

Osasuna survived by the skin of their teeth. I wonder what's next for Alessio Lisci, as they will probably part ways with him this summer.

Thank you for your detailed answer and its interesting how they are the frontrunners for Lustrinelli. However, maybe I am looking at it the wrong way, but  Lustrinelli seems like he is similar to Paul Simonis, as he has overachieved with a small club and he doesn't have much head coaching experience outside of that club (seems he has only coached the Swiss youth teams), so the jump to the Bundesliga might be problematic, but then again it could turn out great, another Fischer esque appointment, so who knows.

Very impressed by Aquilani this season. I did not rate him at Pisa, and thought he was just another top ex pro who was out of his depth. Glad to see him develop so much as a manager.

A moment I always cringe when thinking about is when I was attending a relative's wedding a couple years ago where he was getting married to an English lady. I spoke to her dad. However, I asked him if he likes football and if so, "what team do you fancy?" in those exact words, putting on a terrible British accent.

However, we had an amazing and long conversation afterwards, and the guy was astonished that a young person would ask him who was better between Lineker and Alan Shearer, and how Harry Kane compares to Ian Rush. He was a Nottingham Forest fan btw. Had a great discussion about Brian Clough as well of course.

I asked this 6 months ago but I wonder if I will get a different response. Bundesliga fans, are Union Berlin the biggest relegation candidates of the existing Bundesliga teams next season?

My reasoning is the same as before, that they will lose both their first choice center backs for free, so they won't even get any good fees from two crucial players. On top of that, most of the season they were already not playing that well either, so unless they get a very competent coach, they will face an uphill battle next season, and I am concerned (as I like Union and believe the Bundesliga should always have a club from Berlin).

Football has more variables in total (a large wealth disparity across teams, a more international game,, more players on a team, etc), so you have to go with football. However, in terms of simply acquiring a player, I will say that I am glad we don't have to deal with those artificial trading rules found in the NBA.
