  1. 1. Barclays English Premier League

Not strictly an American view since I was born and raised within 5 miles of Old Trafford and now live here in Tennesee, the team that is playing the best soccer is Arsenal in my opinion. My brother in law is a big Manchester City fan so I did not exactly relish my Sunday chat with him and my sister this weekend after the loss.

 

Rooney has been a bit of a disappointment for me this year. As for Chelsea, though Mourhino was not a personal favorite of mine, he certainly knows how to coach and I don't think they can make up the lost ground.

Well Mourhino got fired, but Avram Grahm is a GREAT replacement. Since he took over he has only lost once.

 

But I think Manchester United will come back and maybe even take the Treble. The way C Ronaldo is playing right now the quadruple is possible.

 

Arsenal have an AMAZING young squad, but right now they are relying too much on there younger players like Flamini, Bentdner, Fabregas. I know Adebeyor is going CRAZY right now but I dont think its enough to stop Nani, Ronaldo, Rooney, Anderson, Giggs, Scholes, Tevez, Carrick, and so on. Man U's bench players would start on any other premier league team. There depth will lead them to premier league glory.

 

P.s. Im not a Man U supporter so thats an un bias opinion

Go Arsenal. Long time no talk Online. How are things?

 

Things are going great although I am extremely busy and have not had a lot of time to spend on CoachT. We started Soccer Practice yesterday so life just became a little busier but nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable.

 

I have never liked Arsenal for obvious reasons, but I do admire them and I think their youth is not that big a problem. I hope I am wrong, but I think they will win the Premier Champioship this year.

 

The team that shocks me the most this year is Newcastle. A lot of talent but they seem to lack confidence. I don't expect the change of manager from Sam Allardyce to Kevin Keegan will make much difference. It would be nice to see Owen leave Newcastle and play for one of the top four clubs again. He never worked out at Real Madrid but I still think he can make a contribution to the EPL.

Good day for me as a Man Utd fan when they absolutely demolished Arsenal 4-0 in the FA Cup. The score could easily have been 7-0. Gallas and Fabregas absolutely stank the place up and Rooney really came to life and they simply could not mark him. Lehman actually had a good game and not one of the goals was his fault.

 

I managed to watch it live via a Slingbox at my brother in law's house which streams their TV over the internet.

Been a Man U fan since I first watched them in 1965 when I lived in England.  Was lucky enough to have been at Wembly(sp ?) and got to see England win the World Cup in 1966 against West Germany.  Team had both Bobby Charlton and Knobby Stiles from Man U on the national team.

OnlineLC, how do you like Mourhino now?  I figure he has one more year in him and then hopefully it will be Giggs turn.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
