All of them? Thats a start then......friendlies serve nothing but bad luck for Clubs.

I like this comment from another Chels

Supposedly Sheff United are not a good team, yet they only lost to liverpool because of a fluke.

VAR and such luck will ensure they win the league. It is the measure the football authority took to help them. I accept that. I don't like it as they dont deserve it.

Will be the first not deserving league champs in a long time.

Sheffield United have shit for talent but are an incredibly cohesive team who play a unique system that gives top teams fits. Overlapping CB's, lolol.

They are a quintessentially English minnow menace. Burnley and Bournemouth are archetypal examples. No other league in the world has these type of teams to such a degree. Closest would be La Liga (Eibar, Alavés, Getafe, and so far this year, Granada, etc.) and to a lesser extent, the Bundesliga.

I think Leicester are going to smash them badly. Only downside is Maddison is out with an ankle injury.

Nailed this one, lolol

Leicester look decent......can they keep it up though? Do they have EL?

[Vesper 29,202]

Leicester have a great chance to grab points at the bindipper palace.

No Europe, only the two domestic cups. They finished 9th last year in the EPL.

Hmm they have a decent chance then I guess. They are run well it seems though.

yes, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha stepped up after his father died in that horrid tragic helicopter crash and said full steam ahead

their scouts are fucking aces

they rarely make a bad buy

Caglar Söyüncü (has really been a revelation so far this year, Maguire who?, lol) 
Jonny Evans  (super solid veteran who has added stability)   
Filip Benkovic  (great potential at CB, they scuppered us to grab him)
Ricardo Pereira    (one of the best RB's in the EPL, I almost rate him over their mega hyped other fullback, Chilwell)
Wilfred Ndidi    (a 22yo rock at DMF)
Youri Tielemans  (wonderful CMF, I have loved him since his Anderlecht days) 
Dennis Praet (great pickup from Sampdoria, who so so miss him in MF)
Marc Albrighton   (got him on a free 5 years ago)
James Maddison   (their most creative player, I rate him a bit more than many here, who hate him for some reason)
Harvey Barnes  (bags of potential, only 21)

then the two big question marks, who, if they do come good, makes them so deadly
Demarai Gray  
Ayoze Pérez

lol, Steve Bruce looks like a flogged dog, dead man walking

Ashley has destroyed Newcastle

Good on them man.....a good Club is run well both on and off the pitch, they have it locked down. SOme good players they have, come next season they will likely lose a couple of them.

Ashley is the epitomy of a horrible owner that has no fucking clue. or he just dont give much fuck.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Some fucked up rumours over Spuds struggles, involving Jan Vertonghen caught sleeping with Christian Eriksen wife.
