EPL 2021-22

[maninblack 7974]

Any early predictions?

[Bone3421 716]

Liverpool
City
Chelsea
Manu

Is my early call but we'll have to see how transfers go and who gets Kane if he does leave

Long as liverpool aren't ravaged by injuries again I feel they will be right there for the title hunt

@sidis 

saw that this morning.  it is so nonsensical to me...i mean, why would anyone ever go be a coach at a historical shitshow organization with no real success like real madrid when they can be at a continental powerhouse like everton.  just bizarre.

apparently moyes is the leading replacement candidate.  good year at west ham but that will not move the needle at all.  back to tenth in the table...wait.

Villa somewhere between 6-10 where 10th is more likely, but with the right off-season transfers (and a full-season healthy Grealish) could make noise for 6th.

Spursy?

 

[Captain Ron 12862]

 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Why does a stingy club like the Spurs keep going for managers with a history of disagreements with management over transfer policies and spending?  Fucking clownshoes.

They're actually going to hire Jason Sudeikis, aren't they?

Santo turned down the Spurs job. To my Tottenham bros, why is it so hard getting a new boss? Is Levy just utter shit and no one wants to work for him?

They haven't offered the 10 year contract yet.

[MoJames 8244]

For those of us not paying attention to the Spurs search, who all has said no thanks?

Rafa to Everton.

This pic makes me feel...uh...

[sidis 9821]

certainly an interesting hire given his past with Liverpool, etc...

a bigger and better hire than i honestly expected but it has been a while since he's done much.  as always, show me on the field.  get us out of the 6th - 12th in the table purgatory.

We were just waiting to send the school president to finalize the deal.

 

 

[mdmost 42997]

Congrats. I think he'll be a good manager for Tottenham.

Why wasn’t Nuno the first choice for Spurs anyway? That’s a great hire IMO

Fans want someone who'll play attacking football.

Going back basically to the normal Pre-Covid scheduling this season.

Southampton and Crystal Palace - only clubs that don't make regular TV the first three weeks. First three matches are on peacock.

Not great for Everton. 

https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2193203/club-statement

Everton can confirm it has suspended a First-Team player pending a police investigation. The Club will continue to support the authorities with their inquiries and will not be making any further statement at this time

Apparently it's Gylfi on suspicion of child molestation.

[sidis 9821]

i mean, not great for gylfi and awful for victims...

but if european soccer has taught me anything, this is what's necessary to elevate your club.  if we can get james and digne indicted on tax fraud issues, we may be ready to make a run at champions league!

if allegations are true, fuck that guy forever and enjoy prison, bitch.

Lol. Chelsea seems pretty clean character-wise right now. But you never know who has skeletons in their closet (looking at you, Kante).

Was he?  I thought it was just Ribery and Benzema.

A thread worth reading

 

 

[alincoln 2371]

Last season was the first time that the top-4 (City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea) remained the same as the previous season since the glory days of the original Big 4 in the late 2000s (United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal) when the top 4 stayed the same for 4 seasons in a row (2005-2009).  This was the era when the EPL placed 3 teams in the CL SFs three years in a row.

The current UK top-4 odds have United at -350 to finish in the Top-4 (Liverpool and Chelsea are generally -400 and City are at least -1667) while Leicester is next shortest at +450.  

I can't recall the last time there was this much perceived separation between the Top-4 and everyone else going into the season.  

[sidis 9821]

Is this the year of the Quadruple for Everton? Already won the “Florida Cup.” Rafa is one for one on trophies!

Happy Championship day. It has to be the most watch day for the Championship outside of the playoffs.

 

Got the Blackburn Swansea match on right now.

[SimonBolivar 10957]

I hate seeing Wednesday in League One. Its what I get for making fun of Wigan and Sunderland.

[maninblack 7974]

Pep has brought in over 200M off the bench in this match. Must be difficult.
