EPL 2017/18 Season

  • The new season starts in 10 days, boys & girls! In today's news, Daniel Sturridge decided to get his annual injury out of the way early this year, unless this is just a tease for a truly devastating one later on.

  • I'm incredibly excited. After coming in for the last two seasons after they started, this will be my first full season of the Premier League.

    Repping Newcastle United because of DeAndre Yedlin (and because after learning about their history, they appeal to me as a Seattle sports fan). They look in danger of going right back down to the Championship, though.
    Colin Kaepernick is a great person, something that the NFL is sorely lacking.

  • Chelsea starting their defense of the Premier League title like a house afire today. Wait, no, I mean dumpster fire. Sorry, I got my conflagrations mixed up. :)

    Liverpool is kind of like the English national team. They think they can just roll out the ball and the name will win them every game.

  • The two most impressive teams in week one, to me, were the Manchester sides. Of course neither of them were playing a top tier opponent, but still.

    Grossly inaccurate.

    Liverpool have their issues but it has nothing to do with believing the 1980s were yesterday

    Doesn't want to play wing back there either. I think he might end up at Liverpool.

    Pfft, you can have him. It's not like we need young,quality,fast,homegrown wingback/strikers.

  • United still play the same way as last year. They lack creativity and width and are not strong in the back. Their biggest (only) improvements are replacing Ibras stagnant play with Lukakus movement (does that equal more goals) and Matic freeing up Pogba to roam higher up the field.

    Not sure if it secures a title. But certainly challenging for one. Still see a lot of draws coming.

    Indeed the squad is so small no way they can go deep in Europe, FA Cup and Leauge play. This team could be facing major burn out this coming winter. Either they pull these players back from loans or pray for a big January window. At this point, they do not need a big name they need a lot of decent players to increase team depth.

    agreed, but more concerning is that atleast 2 and perhaps more of those exact type of players chose to play elsewhere or remain put instead of joining Chelsea.

    I have not heard of any drama outside Costa, so unsure why the Champions are having a hard time attracting people.

    Word around town in Conte's strength is his weakness. He is a hard ass when it comes to training. Some players don't want anything to do with a coach who has stated: "I want my players to eat grass and start from the bottom every season."

  • You'd think high wages would overcome that. Also... Barkley and Ox don't seem guys shy about working hard. Conte may be a part of the issue, just think there is more in there. This was a team on the free fall with Mourinho. Conte turned it all around but it feels like it's short lived. Two hard working tactically sound coaches having player issues. Could be the players that need to move on.

    That is the rub. Why go to the trouble of rebuilding the squad when you can just bring in a new manager.

    If you look at the start of the Chelsea run in the 2004 season they had:

    Drogba 26
    Lampard 26
    Terry 22
    Cech 20

    That was a young back bone that set the team up to be the most successful that it has ever been. Where are those players now? It looked like Conte was looking for youthful mix last season but it seems like he has turned away from that.

    Honestly I've not seen anything like it. (Atleast not from a team who wasn't recently promoted) Have they scored?

    This is Manchesters league. Which Manchester is really up to them. Was really impressed with City today. Pep and his system are overrated for me. He needs the worlds best. But he damn near has it and they look the part

    At this point, you would have to start to wonder if Place players are purposely not scoring in some kind of match-fixing sort of way.

    I think United hold on and win it in the end. Jose can suck the life out of any team at any time. Also, he always wins in his second season with the club.

  • Holy cat fish man.

    Palace is looking really good since the start of the season can they keep it up in early 2018?

    Can anyone beat Man City? Looks like Pep has built his Barca-lite and has the team rolling.

    Chelsea? Looks like they figured out the 343. Looking for a FA Cup title.

    Squad depth a real issue this time of year.

    Hope Arsenal give WBA a good pumping later..........followed by a Seahawks will as well.



    Dont do it to yourself. Never pull for Arsenal. Palace is in the ascendancy anyways and will finish top 15.
