There he is

?He's Man United?

Imagine supporting that shower

What's three feet long, and can keep a d*ck warm?

A Man U scarf!

Probably being kind on United fans there

What was Maulbert thinking bringing on a meme that early?

Man United sounds like the name of a g** bar... or a democrat rally.

Worth every penny

Can we laugh at Arsenal too, while we're at it?

Hawkspur wrote:Can we laugh at Arsenal too, while we're at it?

I never stopped

I was wondering about Gatehawk yesterday. Possibly on his way to DC to follow Ozil?

One of the major things that United and Arsenal have in common is that they are owned by people whose track records in ownership are bang average at best. No track record of good decision making. Long may it continue.

Fullbacks have been our major weakness for a couple of years now. I'm amazed that they haven't sorted it yet. Apparently Sessegnon's coming but he looks like he has a lot of work to do yet to make you feel comfortable about the position, and right back is a bigger need anyway. It's great to see a commitment to strengthening the midfield. I'm pretty excited about that. As far as other positions of need go, it looks like we'll be using academy lad Troy Parrott as a backup striker. He apparently looks decent but is only 17. A new keeper would be nice too. Lloris is a fantastic shot stopper but his command of the area and ball skills are subpar. Gazzaniga sucks but as he fulfils what appears to be the trait that Pochettino looks for first and foremost (being an Argie), he's unlikely to be usurped.

And yep, I think city will probably win but your lot will make sure they have to earn it. We'll probably finish 3rd and Lampard will hopefully win their first 6 games, sign a billion pound contract then suck the rest of the season and get Chelsea relegated.

I wonder if Spuds window is a sign of Erickson leaving. Would be a blow. They're an interesting squad. 3rd place, CL runners up, but lost 20 games on the year (all comps). Something missing there.

I love this Liverpool squad, but think they needed one more piece to be considered co-favorites.

Eriksen has made it pretty clear that he would like to leave, but in keeping with the theme of this thread, not to Manchester United.

I would definitely rather have Eriksen than Lo Celso but if he finds a club he would rather play for who will have him, so be it. Hopefully he stays and we get at least a season with both.

Finished a good window for them. Think Eriksen survives the winter window? Where's his contract at?

Eriksen's done at the end of this season. I'd say there's a 75% chance he's gone in the next couple of weeks with the only mitigating factor being that now the English clubs are out of the equation there's really only Barcelona and Real Madrid, and possibly Juve in play as better clubs to go to. PSG too I guess, but surely by now going to PSG is only one step removed from going to China in terms of money grabbing.

Apparently Atletico are keen but the ideal scenario must be to give him more money for an extra year or two to hopefully get a fee next summer if he still wants to leave.

Despite not doing much about our biggest concern (right back) aside from getting rid of Aurier and Trippier, the depth at midfield, as things stand, is now outstanding. Hopefully Kyle Walker-Peters steps up at RB, as I like the fact that Foyth and Sanchez should be ready to step in as ready made replacements for Vertongen and Alderweireld when the time comes and I fear that Foyth may he railroaded into playing more right back.

Hopefully Alderweireld sticks around too. That is certainly not a given.

Totally forgot that this was only the English window

It's ridiculous. Such a stupid idea.

Hawkspur wrote:It's ridiculous. Such a stupid idea.

I like ending the window before the season starts. But push the season start closer to the other leagues. CL final was 2 months ago

Agreed. The window needs to shut at the same time as the rest of Europe. And the season should start later and end a week or two later. That gap before the CL final was brutal.

It made the final a bit of a dud as well. The heat and humidity didn't help, but a 3 week gap between the end of the season and the CL final? Nonsense.

Anyway, I thought Arse had a decent window. Would have been ten on ten had they brought in a competent CB instead of sideshow Bob.

I think Arse are losing a player or too as well

Liz & Mustafi alongside their forwards should lead to an average score of 3-3

They’re a $h!t team, but they were always gonna win that match.

It's the $h!t that gets me... like every time.

Done... nothing like watching Arsenal fans give a hero's welcome to a player theyve only seen YouTube clips of...

No... he's a melon.

Punditry for the Prem reminds me of a TMZ episode than a,legitimate broadcast.

The Maguire/VvD comparisons made the game unwatchable

Eh, you know you love them really.

And as for this game, I can only say, despite not having Son, Alli or Lo Celso on Saturday, it would be nice if we could keep Eriksen.

peachesenregalia wrote:Honest question: where are Chelsea’s goals going to come from?

whole team of midfielders. ball moves well in the middle third, breaks down soon after

It will be a big struggle for them.

peachesenregalia wrote:VARchester City.

You hate to see it.

Watching Pep celebrate with Aguero while VAR overruled their goal was fun...

City outshooting Spurs 30-3 was not, though. Is it possible they're just better than last 2 seasons?

Pellegrini and Dean Smith.. not clubs spent sheds of money on players (West Ham over last two years) and need results for the investment.

I think lampard is safe through the transfer ban, unless it gets really bad

I do like that Neves kid

Quick callback to threads original title...


Ha ha Manchester United

Mid table starts at the 3rd spot it seems.

5 point cushion

Roberto Firmino is my favorite footballer to watch. It's not just his vision and skill. His work ethic off the ball and willingness to drive into spaces is maybe the best in the world.

You're right about Norwhich. They give it a go regardless of opponent. Great to see

I am now officially a Wolves, and Adama Traore, fan.

Great team to watch. Creative and athletic front 5. Veey good coaching. Really hoping they get top 4 this season... while if course taking a day off tomorrow v. Liverpool.

Pool...unstoppable, Si.
Even their b team kicks ass

They are a machine. Hard working, humble, but creative. The way the academy kids stepped in and did the same thing today was great to watch.

They completed 969 passes against Sheffield the other night, and scored twice unmoved started by long balls. Then the juniors come out and out possess a starting 11 premier sude by 60-40.

They are immense. Great to watch and pull for. Setting a new standard of play for the premier league. Bit similar to 2005 Chelsea.

June 17!

Time to dust off the crown for Liverpool.

Let that be a lesson to the rest of the league. You can't keep Liverpool down for 31 years.

Klopp to Pulisic in 2015, "Son, you're gonna help win me a league title someday."

Going to be a very interesting 2021 season, for sure.

Chelsea has pulisic and werner, whom I wanted very much at Liverpool.

I like what they're doing there.

World football is going to be very interesting for a lot of reasons. The Euro/World going down 18 months apart. Who knows what teams will have money and who knows what the lower leagues will look like in every country.
