General Football Thread

We have made that much profit from 5 or 6 players in a shorter period.

 

I see Skysports have made the following predictions, then put in a disclaimer - 'The algorithm does not factor transfers, so Liverpool's league-topping £176.9m spent on players this summer could influence the standings as the season progresses.' #whybotherthen

Looks like a big sheap of hit to me

 

Yeah, really. What's the point.

 

I dunno if any of you guys like Bob Mortimer. I love him. I listen to his podcast "Athletico Mince" which is suppose to be a football podcast, but isn't really.

Bob does predictions before a season, and as he supports Boro, they talk about the Championship. His prediction for a team to watch was Norwich.

I was chuffed he said that, but I don't agree with him. It was lovely to hear him rate us though.

 

The games we have left in August - WBA, PNE and the (once mighty) Leeds at Home and PNE away. I'd be THRILLED with a points total of > OR = 6 at the end of the month and then we have the Old Farm Derby on 2nd Septemeber.
It's a VERY tough league and I'm still confident we can improve on our position of last season!!! Vok>

Reminds me of Bassong! Didn't realise Edworthy also had 4 relegations from the Prem on his CV

 

I'm looking forward to seeing Madders play today; he's supposed to be recovered from his injury.

 

I'd like to see him play well and Leicester win, just to piss off sourpuss Mourinho

 

Well, in several of our televised matches from last season, JM got the Sky MotM ....... (he didn't have too much competition though!!)

LCFC starting 11 - 1 Schmeichel, 18 Amartey, 5 Morgan, 15 Maguire, 3 Chilwell, 25 Ndidi, 23 Adrien Silva, 14 Ricardo Pereira, 10 Maddison, 7 Gray, 8 Iheanacho
Vardy is a sub and Maguire still a Leicester player!!!

 

I know what you mean. Mourinho is "special" alright.

 

Madders starting for Leicester. He really should do, but I really didn't think they would start him. Fantastic! Also, Gray starts. 2 awesome young English talents starting, who might not have been predicted.

 

I'm going down the pub to watch the 2nd half!!

 

Good Lad. Drink to forget he ever left us!

 

United Pen in 75 seconds. What a surprise.

Not many teams would have got that given.

 

Bet Jose is livid with the Refs this season already.

 

I changed my Avatar when he left Aberdeen and I'm NOT changing it again!!
NO - ManUre get a penalty!!!

 

So nice to see Luke Shaw starting a season. Hope he plays well. That's lads lost so much of his bright career through injury and Jose.

 

Chillwell took a free-kick ahead of Madders, also standing over it. Wouldn't get that here mate! Grass isn't always greener!
