Where are you lot talking about football if not here.. ?

[Jam]

Oh nice one.

Liverpool's made some amazing signings this summer, their team is outstanding anyway. Big things coming their way.

My team, Arsenal... new manager, 5 new signings, alot of players out... Emery focus hard on work ethic, pressing, pressure play, studying the opposition, he doesn't **** about, we've already got a great attack, new gk, new and experienced centre back and RB, new defensive midfielder in Torreira (Uruguaian), and of course the standard purchase of an unknown 19 year old french potential.... all these additions are exactly what we needed... Under performing players like Xhaka, Iwobi will improve and hit their potential under Emery. Really looking to how the new look Arsenal get on. Huge changes.

Sp*rs hasn't bought any players, but haven't lost any... yet.

Chelsea under Sarri will be interesting, their key players wants out. Sarri has zero experience of winning a title.

Mourinho will be entering his 3rd season, we all know how that goes.

City... will be devastating as usual.

Looking forward to seeing Fulham, great style of play.

West Ham under Pellegrini, spent the most this summer, in theory they should do better than previous seasons.

Newcastle, lol.

This is what I predicted PL table wise:

1. Man City
2. Liverpool
3. Man Utd
4. Spurs
5. Chelsea
6. Arsenal
7. Wolves
8. Everton
9. Leicester
10. Bournemouth
11. Burnley
12. West Ham
13. Palace
14. Brighton
15. Newcastle
16. Fulham
17. Southampton
18. Watford
19. Huddersfield
20. Cardiff

The only bold one is Wolves being 7th I'd say.

[jd90]

^The bold one is United third! I predict Jose will be caught trying to shoot one of the younger players, Pogba will debut 612 new haircuts whilst being crap on the pitch and replying to every single criticism with ''World Cup tho'' Jones will play 20 games and get a new five year deal despite everyone with half a brain being able to see he has no footballing intelligence at all.


Spurs will get gazumped and sign nobodies and just pray Eriksen and Kane are bang at it. City will have it much, much harder this year.


1) Liverpool (ANYONE but Liverpool, please god not Liverpool)

2) City

I'll do the rest later but that's how I am predicting the top two.

^ If Cardiff aren't bottom i'll be stunned (unless Warnock is sacked very early that is)

[Tom Morello]

I dunno I think they'll do ok, Jose for all his faults can grind out results for fun but they'll be way off 1st.

Can't see anyone other than City winning it, still think Liverpool will drop too many points to lesser teams. Don't think they'll be a lot between 3rd and 6th.

The rest of the league is hard to predict, teams like West Ham could be good if their team clicks but they could just as easily be awful. Cardiff surely won't stay up or at least I hope they don't, hate Warnock.

[Ghost Viking]

Come on Wycombe Wanderers in league one!! (Is this the right place for efl??)

[Tom Morello]

^Yes for Efl but not Wycombe (sorry, I'm an Oxford lad)

England games only on sky sports is utter bs, i won't be watching on principle

And because it's a bs friendly. And England bore the shit out of me anyway.

Even the qualifiers bore me tbf. I'm guessing they'll be on itv ... along with the awful bitter sweet symphony intro

[Tom Morello]

^It's this nations league thing now, no more qualifiers. Looks like Sky have all England games now, oh well at least no more cheesy lines from Clive Tyldsley for 2 years at least.

[Rocket Spud]

Nah, it's still normal qualifying, beginning March - says here.

[Rocket Spud]

Also, itv will be showing the qualifiers for the next euros and the next world cup - sky have the friendlies only i think.

[Tom Morello]

Oh... this nations league stuff has confused me so much.

[Rocket Spud]

Haha, yeah me too a bit. I'm not sure what it means to England but i think it has more significance for the minor nations. Though i'm not certain of that

[Bambos]

Staggered champions league matches on telly (bt sport) tonight, there could be very little movement in this household

[T]

Feel for Spurs there...Inter robbed them at the death!

[Rocket Spud]

Missed the earlier game - typical spurs?

Can't take your eyes off of this one!

[genovese]

Another win for leeds and a clean sheet. Onwards to the premiership. Finally

Sadly yes they let slip a 1-0 lead with 5 mins to go and ended up 2-1 to Inter


Can't take your eyes off of this one!

Yes i presuming you were watching the Liverpool game.. Liverpool aren't firing on all cylinders yet but grinding out the results compared to last few years they would of struggled!

[T]

Interesting score so far from the City game and Ronaldo been sent off for Juventus

Yeah, they're still just as entertaining as last season, never a dull moment.


Anyone fancy an upset this afternoon? Liverpool, United and City have 'easy' games, and this is on the back of a champions league match - somethings bound to happen.

[Rocket Spud]

Day of reckoning for Mourinho - currently 2-0 down at home to a relegation fighting Newcastle

[Pia]

Guess he’s not getting sacked in the morning then.. Knew Man Utd would end up turning it around, grr. I don’t get these fans who are blaming the board rather than Mourinho - he treats his players like shit, it’s no wonder they’re lacking in confidence when they play. He’s a child, how can he expect respect from his players or anyone the way he acts!

Real Madrid are struggling a bit atm aren’t they! No wins or goals in their last four matches :/

[Tom Morello]

Another ****ing international break.

[wez]

Last night I went to watch Wales v Spain. Not really supporting anyone other than just wanting to see some goals and some of Spain's star players I got to see Ramos and De gea

Now lets hope England can get even with Croatia.

[wez]

its nice.. no its great to see the Germans doing so badly at the moment, i know i sound bitter but i did have to spend two weeks surrounded by them recently on my holidays
