Unrest at Galaxy?

Tonight Sky Sports News reports the manager of L.A. Galaxy may well be on the move before the new season begins.

Jaminator is quoted as saying "While I'm not confirming nor denying any move at this stage, I cannot deny that the lure of a higher rated team would be an interest when the franchise list is released for the upcoming season. Having taken this team to forth place in the Premiership, beating the previously undefeated Champion Subz on the way, there's only so far I can take a team of this calibre. In order to be better placed to challenge the top places in the league, I must align myself with a powerhouse able to provide a larger wage budget."

This has come as a shock to most, as Jaminator had never mentioned any potential unrest at the club. However despite rumours of himself moving, he was still able to provide us with a list of L.A. Galaxy's players which would be available for transfer prior to the new season beginning.

"My squad has done fantastically well to achieve what they did last season, but in order to remain competitive we must freshen things up around the place. Now before any fans or other managers get any ideas, last seasons front two will be staying put, Martinez and Gnabry will be remaining Galaxy players for the foreseeable future. However, I can provide a list of those who would be subject to a move, if the right bid was to come in:

Denis Suarez - Spanish - CAM - 79 Rated next Season

Fabio Borini - Italian - Forward - 76 Rated next Season

Benjamin Henrichs - German - Right Back - 76 rated next Season

Michael Keane - English - Centre Back - 79 Rated next Season

Now, not all of these players will be able to leave without us bringing in new faces - squad levels dictate this - but providing valuations are met, we see no reason why these lads can't leave the club."​

La Grande Fuga!

The red and black half of Milan is still celebrating as the rossoneri pulled off the Great Escape and avoided relegation by winning their play-off. The drop was looking nailed on after the first half of the season as Milan were rock bottom of the Championship with just one point. Despite the pundits on the AG podcast consistently predicting his team was doomed, head coach Big B never lost faith with his team, and backed by their fanatical supporters, they finally hit some form, started picking up wins, particularly at home, and pulled themselves out of the automatic relegation places to set up a play-off against niwintz and his Lyon side.

The pundits were still writing off Milan's chances, as Lyon had taken 4 points off them earlier in the season. In those games, the Italian side had struggled to contain Lyons pacey counter attacking and accuracy from long shots, and conceded 5 goals over the two regular season games. The play-off game looked like it would go the same way early on when Lyon attacked quickly and with the defence sitting off wary of his pace, Traore struck one from distance and niwintz was 1-0 up.

Fulham back into the Prem

Fulham will play premier league football next season all be it via the playoffs after a 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.

Fulham were dumped big style last season from the Premiership and Lowes came under attack after selling high profile players and bringing in no one to replace them, And thus paying the price when other clubs were buying and making strong squads, Lowes who was highly criticised for spending more time on the golf course than concentrating on the job in hand saw his side dumped into the Championship.

After a meeting with the chairman pre season, Lowes went to work on strengthening the Fulham squad, He brought in Joe Gomez, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Javier Hernandez and when getting to the playoffs landed Jese Lingard who turned out to be the man who fired Fulham back into the Premiership.

Hammers Celebrate Success Season Review

When Riverman took over West Ham wholesale changes were promised and quickly started with several new additions but it was the late season additions that really turned the tide. The playoffs were the target for the club

3 wins from the first 4 agsinst Red Rhinoceros and Chadji30 got the Irons off to a good start with Tosun smashing in the goals

A mid season dip followed and hideous forms in friendlies combined with a poor league run, with defeats culminating in a real low with a 7-2 thumping at the hands of DiodeX saw drastic changes needed.
Split games with Harryn9000 followed before further splits with eventual champion Jeffantony1988 where West Ham turned in arguably their performance of the season reversing a 2-0 half time deficit with 5 goals in 12 2nd half minutes including a hatrick for Tosun in his last game for the club

This is where the impetus changed and despite 17 goals the departure of Tosun and arrivals of Calvert-Lewin and Penaranda gave the side a fresh new look and Emotionalworm was despatched twice to seal a play-off place before consecutive losses to Jlizzle4shizzle ended the season
