  1. I agree. Just because Connor Gallagher doesn't have a fancy Foreign name you're all turning your noises against him. 

    Most of the best players in the PL don't have fancy names and are British.  Palmer, Gordon Bowen, Saka, Solanke, Watkins, Toney, Gallagher,

    Chelsea have a lot more PSR concerns. However, of all the players they would sell, Gallagher would probably cause the most outrage. 

    Still pure profit, and they haven't offered him a new contact

    It will be my first time working in China from June, I will be teaching English at a Private School in Nanjing.

    Previously I have been visiting there many times since 2003, I am fascinated by the country.

    Possibly because 10-12 days is not that long and China is a massive country. If you have longer places like Hainan, Hong Kong, Taishan, Xinjiang, Anhui, Guilin and Yunnan are wonderful places to visit but you would need literally several weeks.

    When in Beijing the parks are wonderful, Forbidden City is a must and around Tiananmen Square are interesting places. Jingshan Park is the back of the Forbidden City and the view at the top of the hill overlooking Beijing is wonderful. Beihai Park is also nice. If you have time, try to visit the Great Wall at Simatai or Jinshanling as there are less people, last time I was there for half a day and we saw literally five or six people.

    Many people don't like Beijing because it is very Westernised and the air quality is still one of the poorest in China because of the industry.

    Shanghai is Nuts, so many people. Zhujiajiao water town is on the outskirts of Shanghai and worth a visit, it is an ancient and very beautiful little place, great food, museums and shops but can be very busy at the weekend.

    For Shanghai itself the Bund is interesting as it the Light Show at night, the Yu Garden and the Old Town is great but again always VERY busy. I really love the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund and its Long Bar, elegant and like you are in a time warp.

    Have a great time!

    Thanks for your reply! 
    So for 10-12 days you think Beijing and Shanghai is doable? 

  4. Here is how I see the race: 

    Man City - Settled and strong.
    Arsenal - Settled and strong 
    Liverpool - No Klopp, new manager, not stable, unpredictable. 
    Villa - Settled and will get stronger 
    Chelsea - Finished strongly, more settled. Will be our biggest contenders for 4th.
    Newcastle- They're strong at home, if they keep their best players they will challenge
    Spurs - Ange interview yesterday was odd, seems unsettled club.
    Man United- Not worried about them,
    Bournemouth- Dark Horses
    Brighton - Not worried about them

    The place has gone mad. 
     

    Of course there’s always a chance, but if people are really looking forward to an easier route because they think we could actually win the champions league rather than looking forward to actually being in the competition then you’re getting ahead of yourselves.  
     

    It might be another 40 years until we’re in the competition again. I hope it isn’t, but it might be. I want it to be memorable, I don’t want to draw the shit teams because we might get a bit further. 
     

    If we manage to consistently be on the competition then it changes. But for now I’m savouring taking on the best teams in the world. I don’t really care about avoiding them because it would make our “route to the final” easier.

    Lets win it!
