Lots of attractive games, looking forward to it. Work's going to keep me holed up at home all weekend, so this will be the perfect accompaniment for the second monitor

In the vein of our last new signing who got sent off I hope Arthur kicks Pickford in the face. Would immediately change my mind about him.

Big day for me on Sunday.

Now that the deadline is over, who does @Savant think will finish top 4?

City run away with the league and it will be very tight 2-6. I’m going to sleep on the rest. Honestly think top four will be City and the London teams. Chelsea and Liverpool probably about the same odds to me but Chelsea will probably be more aggressive in January to go for the kill. Aubameyang is going to have to carry that offense though.

I think Utd is better but I think it’s too many points compared to what they got last year to make up that ground.

Steven Gerrard’s last game in charge this weekend (?)

What a hilariously fast fall from grace that would be.

It’s much harder for me to be sympathetic after he pooped the bed the last game of the season. Ruined it with stupid subs.

 

[Live in the Now]

He’ll get until the Southampton match. They signed too many players who joined because of him to just sack him until it’s a last resort.

Too many Saturday games, not enough Sunday ones, no Monday ones.

 

[John Pedro]

Antony to debut against Arsenal... wish he would debut later hahaha probably off the bench, I guess. Biggest test for Arsenal so far, gotta show this team can win derbys also

City run away with the league [snip]

You say that like it was ever in doubt without another global pandemic

Yea I assume he’ll be on the bench and only come in if United either have a multi-goal lead or are chasing the game.

I’d say the latter is much more likely.

It's City then Arsenal and Liverpool quite close then a gap and I'm not even sure Chelsea gets a top 4. They're not in the same level as Ars/Liv right now and probably won't be for a while, Tuchel's system offensively has never been good and now the defence isn't covering for it either.

Last year that game Arsenal lost to City had a red card involved I believe, Arsenal was in that game and kept it close. They've gotten better since, albeit so has City at least in attack.

Right now it’s arsenal/city and then Liverpool/Tottenham.

United are going 36-2 so….

Honestly it’s one of those years where I feel Liverpool either finishes 2nd or they finish 5th. Which probably doesn’t make sense to anyone else. Like if they are in a fight for 4th I don’t think it comes out well. But if they create distance (duh) they’ll be okay.

What was in the Gary Neville post that’s got him in hot water? I’m fascinated that every article I read about it doesn’t show the post, but also doesn’t include a line like “because of the court’s action our paper will not be sharing the contents of the post.”

European games start next week. Two games a week now till the World Cup. Squad depth of every team is going to be tested from now on.....

 

[bluesfan94]

Impossible given that arsenal is getting 114 points

There's an injunction on the post in question. Since it was referred to the attorney General, it can't be published.

The morning of Gigg's assault trial Gary posted on Instagram "TRUTH. ALWAYS. WINS...unfortunately liars get to go first" which because of his "influence" was seen by the prosecution as something that could sway public opinion and by proxy, the jury.

 

[Savant]

Starting XI feels very fan picked today. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing yet.

Darwin, Carvalho, Tsimikas starting over Firmino, Milner (who I though was nailed on to start), and Robertson.



Rotating a bit with UCL midweek. LFC only win if they score first.

 

[maclean]

great chance there

Fat Frank had the grounds crew keep that grass real long today.

Successive dives by Gordon and Gray.
