Podium is too easy, it's going to be Mercedes or Ferrari most of the time. I was going to run this myself but incorporate "Fastest Customer" so basically you're predicting the fastest car outside of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull. 

Also, fastest lap would be good.

how about we predict the 4th, 5th and 6th place.     coz as you said, 1st, 2nd and 3rd will always be either merc or ferrari ....

strapping young lad ......

3-0  .. 3-0 against the same team.   wow !!!    if Wenger still has respect for Arsenal then he should  resign.

Given your importance to his professionalism one would have thought he would have preferred to have a clean conscious on the lies being written about him, afterall, he already has the history of deciding not to mention match fixing claims in Italy.

If it wasnt true can you imagine the payout he would get from ALL the media outlets writing the same story.

Lets jog your memory on how forthright they all were 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40229168

 

 

let me just have my say about the news outlet these days ................. i don't believe in anything they say 100%.   Not unless it's an actual video interview of an athlete saying this and that.   but if i see that's it all just WORDS.   i just breeze thru them.   Because now with the internet, these news networks just like any publication needs the traffic to generate revenues and the more JUICY their story is, the more people will read them, the more traffic in their website the more money they'll get.

let's just take that link of yours --- it's from the BBC - a very credible name in the news industry.     BUT -- if you look at the note below that supposedly "text" of Conte to Costa .. it reads ::::  A recreation of the message Antonio Conte sent to Diego Costa  ...     it's not the actual screenshot of Costa's phone.

Seems people here are being naive if they fucking believe the story Conte texted Costa that he isn't part of his plans 

 

Seems Courtois has been opening his mouth again. In all honesty I hope we sell in the summer. If a player doesn't want to be here, flog him. Must be complete torture when you are letting shot after shot in and still getting paid thousands. Hope he fucks off. 

sadly that's the trend we're seeing now.   Aubameyang in Dortmund, Sanchez in Arsenal, Coutinho in Liverpool, them players did something rebellious against their ( former ) clubs for them to be transferred.  ... and now Thibaut is talking about madrid and how he misses his family.   He should have thought it thru before making a move to London... 

back to Conte, isn't that the manager's job to bring the best out of the squad he has ??    but if we look at the table, chelsea is just 6 points away from United and just two points behind Spurs, knowing how the EPL is, we can't predict to what the table will look like on the final Match Day.  so, it's not that too bad for Chelsea and Conte.

all season i'm liking mr Valverde.    a modest person.   hasn't made any jibe against his opponents ....

I don't get the hate to Conte for the Costa malarkey, if he wants to leave then send him on his way.

Who other than Morata could have replaced Costa in the Summer?

exactly.    morata was the only viable option Chelsea had that summer.    his form in madrid that season was good enough to convince the Board in chelsea to pay that much amount for him.

but this fall from grace of Chelsea has Conte to blame.   I

i'm only dreaming -------------- RM winning the UCL again but finished 5th in the league.

Latest breaking news on MARCA states that Gareth Bale has been told by the club that they will be listening to offers for him and that he’s been put on the market. According to a leak from inside the club (not a leak in their constantly renovated stadium toilets), Bale’s credit is finished at the club and that a squad restructure will occur this summer.

So where could Bale be going!

Man Utd?

Chelsea?

Back to Spurs with Kane going the other way?

i feel sorry for Bale.   when he is healthy he is very deadly.   his sprint speed is just phenomenal but sadly he has a very frail body.   now, madrid fans such as myself is smiling that he is back on form but is expecting in two or three weeks time that there'll be news of Bale getting injured again.

but damn, such a very bad season RM is having.   it's like a kid who's thrown his puzzle pieces on the floor and can't figure out which pieces link up ....

what's it gonna be ???    will Conte stay ??

crucial games for City ....

december 10 -- United

december 16 - Spurs

january 14 - liverpool

feb 10 - leicester

feb 24 - Arsenal

march 3 - chelsea

Maybe you lot should ease down on the pre-season friendlies. 

yeah.  that's one of the problems too.    A lot of games during the off season.   I remember years back when they played a game in dubai during the christmas break that their bodies got facked up on the second half of the season.

if they want to play these events ( not the mandatory pre-season friendly ) for money, then they should make it a 15 minute per half game.    It's a worthless game anyway, people only wants to take photos so no need to tire out them players.

I would be very surprised if Real Madrid don't come into form sooner or later because the players are there.  There are various hypothesis as to why this has occurred but to be honest Barcelona have won every single game except for one in La Liga (one was a draw away to Atleti) and the same has occurred in the Champions League (one was a draw away to Olympiakos) and that's not easy to live with.

The difference between both Barcelona and Real Madrid has been that Barça are scoring goals when it matters while Real Madrid's attack in the shape of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema has been woeful!  All that in Barcelona's case with Luis Suárez off form until yesterday away to Leganés.

For Real to win La Liga now is very difficult because at this stage nobody in the history of La Liga has ever clawed back a 10 point deficit to win it.  But there's always a first for everything and that can't be discounted although Barcelona losing 10 points from here on in with Real Madrid not tripping up once more is something verging on the miraculous.  Also add to this which most people are forgetting because they're concentrating on just the fact Real will at some point come into form and that is that Real Madrid have exactly the same points as Atlético Madrid...  It's strange that Atleti are getting lots of criticism (maybe the fact their Champions League campaign has also been very strange counts) while with Real it's been more a case of let's wait and see without the major ripping into you usually get from the Spanish media.

Yesterday's Madrid derby between Atleti and Real is a case in accordance with this mindset because the best two chances of the game came from Atlético Madrid (Correa and Gameiro) while Real dominated possession but only testing Oblak once properly.

yep.    Real basically has the same players as last year.    Watching the Derby last night i can't help but to raise an eyebrow on to where did it all go wrong.    And to compare it with their UCL clash.

but i have to disagree, knowing the egos of Ronaldo and Ramos, Real Can't bounce back from this form.

zero silverware for this season.

with how things are going, i see them with a Round of 16 exit in the Champions League.     A Quarters exit for the Spanish Cup and a third or even fourth finish in the league.

the return of Dembele into action is nigh.     Barca will be a lot stronger with him.        I like this new coach Ernesto - smooth operator, very humble in interviews ...

that went weird pretty fast hehehe

anyhow, rumors had it that Real are now willing to sell Bale for 80 million but who the fack would want to buy a FRAGILE player for that price ??

not even playing and he got injured again ..    they better sell him off and take in some reliable striker or winger.

I can’t beleive I’d ever be doing this but for the first time ever Florentino Pérez has nothing to do with the present situation with the squad. Every sale was requested by Zidane himself except for Morata who demanded it and Real thought it wasn’t going to happen and found themselves in a situation where they were late comers to an over inflated market at the final stages. 

yeah.    this is the first time in a many years that Perez has consented to his manager's request by not buying any "superstar".   no galactico purchase and trusted on the youth coming up the ranks. 

but still, when things don't go his ( perez ) way, he always fires his managers.

2 hours ago, Cicero said:

They lost two big players in Morata and James. A crucial injury to Carvajal (Real's 2nd most important player),  Not to mention a very hectic pre-season. 

They can still pull it around, and sacking Zidane would be retarded. 

Perez is retarded, we've seen it in the past.

Everything is in shambles now.   The defense is like marshmallow, so soft that the other teams can easily toy with them and of course score.     the midfield is confused.  and the attack is like a rusty sword.

what i'm seeing with Real is they are a bunch of burnt out players.
