Football (soccer) thread

Yeah Fitz, what Leicester achieved is beyond remarkable. As the season progressed I think every neutral began rooting for them to accomplish the impossible. In relative terms they spent bugger all and yet managed to win the biggest prize in English football.

As for United, well if the board don't get rid of Van Gaal at the end of the season we will continue to slip down the table and our decline will emulate that of Liverpool after their dominant spells in the late 70's and 80's. We've played the most dire style of unattractive football I can ever remember, scoring a measly 43 goals in 35 games. Beggars belief, and to think we still have a slight chance of a top 4 finish is basically a sad indictment of the overall quality in the league this season.

The only positive thing as a United fan this season has been the performances from Martial and De Gea (pray he stays) and the emergence of youngsters Rashford, Fosu-Mensah and Borthwick Jackson. The concern is, if Mourinho takes over, will he show faith in the younger players?
