    Premier League, 2018–2019 “The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.” —Jurgen Klopp Hello Delegates! My name is Matthew McDermut and I will be directing the Premier League during WUMUNS 2018. I grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, a town not far from New York City. I am currently in my junior year at Washington University, where I am studying psychology within the pre-med track. This is my third year involved in Model UN at college and my first time directing. Ever since I was a kid I have been a huge soccer fan; I’ve often dreamed of coaching a real Premier League team someday. I cannot wait to see how this committee plays out. In this committee, each of you will be taking the helm of an English Football team at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season. Your mission is simple: climb to the top of the world’s most prestigious football league, managing cutthroat competition on and off the pitch, all while debating pressing topics that face the Premier League today. Some of the main issues you will be discussing are player and fan safety, competition with the world’s other top leagues, new rules and regulations, and many more. If you have any questions regarding how the committee will run or how to prepare feel free to email me at [email protected].

  • La Nueva Vieja Escuela Tony Pulis
    CLUBPERARNAU P 44 TONY PULIS LA NUEVA VIEJA ESCUELA Agustín Galán La figura de Tony Pulis es una de las más veneradas dentro de la Premier League actual. Su apariencia y sus maneras de la vieja escuela lo llevan siempre a banquillos en los que la prioridad es la permanencia y los presupuestos son tan ajustados que no parecen pertenecer a la competición en la que se baten récords de traspasos cada verano. Con todas estas limitaciones externas, el galés se ha convertido en un especialista en sacar jugo a sus plantillas, como se ha vuelto a demostrar una vez más con un destacado West Brom, que terminó el curso 2016-17 en una desahogada décima posición.

    LOO 2015 | Dick in a seasonal box Packet 4b Written by Ostentatious Hydromancy (Samuel Cook, Filip Drnovsek Zorko, Frederic Heath-Renn, Anthony Martinelli) Edited by David Knapp 1. Version 1.2 of this game changed the colour of its antagonist's blood from red to green and replaced a musical theme that had been criticised for resembling a Muslim call to prayer. A stealth section in this game sees the player infiltrate the Gerudo Fortress while a race against Dampe's ghost allows the player to acquire the Hookshot. Its climactic battle forces the player to fight without the Master Sword following Link's first face-off against Ganondorf. For ten points, name this 1998 Zelda game which is consistently rated the best game ever made. ANSWER: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [prompt on \Legend of Zelda" before mentioned] 2. One scene in this film features the death of a Canadian admiral from asphyxiation in a plot to steal a helicopter. A minor character in this film, Boris, has the catchphrase \I am invincible!", which is proven to be false when he is covered in liquid nitrogen. This film’s main villain, codenamed \Janus", is assured a messy death as he is played by Sean Bean. That death is being crushed by a huge satellite transmitter. The boss of this film’s protagonist, played by Judi Dench, labels him a \sexist, misogynist dinosaur"; that protagonist must prevent the use of the titular Russian satellite weapon. For ten points, name this Bond film, the first starring Pierce Brosnan. ANSWER: Goldeneye 3.

  • “The Special One” Lähtee Seuraavana Valioliigavalmentajista
    “The Special One” lähtee seuraavana Valioliigavalmentajista Swansea City ilmoitti keskiviikkona valmentaja Garry Monkin potkuista. José Mourinho on seuraava valioliigavalmentaja, jolle näytetään ovea, ainakin jos ahvenanmaalaisen peliyhtiö Pafin kertoimet pitävät kutinsa. Walesilaisen Swansean johtoporras sai keskiviikkona tarpeekseen joukkueen heikoista tuloksista tämän kauden Valioliigassa. Valmentaja Garry Monk, jonka alaisuudessa joukkue on voittanut vain kolme viidestätoista tämän sarjakauden ottelustaan, sai kokea seuraukset potkujen muodossa. Pafin vedonvälittäjien mukaan päätös oli odotettu. Garry ”Monkey” Monkin potkujen saamiselle annettu kerroin oli matala 1.10. Kertoimien mukaan Chelsean José Mourinho on seuraavana vuorossa saada potkut. Paf antaa kertoimen 2.25 sille, että The Special One saa lähteä lontoolaisesta suurseurasta. Kertoimen myötä Mourinho on luultavin seuraavaksi potkut saava Premier League-valmentaja. ”Vuodenvaihde on aina myrskyisää aikaa englantilaisessa jalkapallossa. Monet seurat tarkastelevat pelaaja- ja valmentajamateriaaliaan. On kuitenkin poikkeuksellista, että hallitsevan Valioliigamestarin manageri, Chelsean José ”The Special One” Mourinho, on lähimpänä potkuja kaikista Valioliigan valmentajista”, Pafin viestintäpäälikkö Mattias Lindquist sanoo. Chelsea varmisti keskiviikkoiltana jatkopaikkansa Mestareiden liigassa voittamalla Porton 2–0 kotikentällään, samana päivänä kun Garry Monk sai potkut Swanseasta. Jää nähtäviksi, kuinka paljon voitto auttaa Mourinhoa pitämään työpaikkansa, kun Chelsea edelleen
