More to come.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I'm really excited for the CL group stage draw in late August as I'm planning on going to Europe around matchday 2. Might try and catch a game if possible!

Especially if Messi goes to Paris god damn

Good to see your updates again @oilers'72 , hope your health is doing ok

I'm doing well. A little overly tired but a shot or 2 of ENO helps wake me up. Had a spill on Monday morning at about 4 and had to call 911 to help me up off the floor. I think I was a little shaky having a minor chill and fever.

Have to get the CL up to date, then there's the Europa League and Europa Conference League, I would imagine the FA Cup and Carabao Cup rounds would be underway as well. EPL will start soon and there's World Cup qualifying as well.

Hope your avatar is confident through the season.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

This feels like a redemption year for LFC after missing VVD for so long and Bobby Firmino hopefully finding form again like he has in preseason, the guy loves to dazzle in front of fans. So I'd say a little confident?

Unfortunately City is gonna City, United made some major pickups in Varane and Sancho and Chelsea are the defending European champions who just picked up Lukaku.

I'll say City, Chelsea, LFC, United for top 4 in that order. Hoping we can make a push for second or even a title charge but f***ing City bought Grealish and might even get Kane too. f***ing hell

If Messi goes to PSG I'm hoping to catch a match in Paris since France is open to vaccinated Canadians so that would be a fun time. I was hoping to get to Anfield but it's looking like a no go at least for now. I'm ready for the new season though let's bring it on

I think Liverpool can go either way. On the one hand, van Dijk will be back, their schedule to start the season is cream puff easy, and a lot of their players didn’t have an international tourney this summer.

On the flip side, it looks to be a repeat of last year. Their key players are getting older (and some of them want to leave) and they’ve played a lot of games, so the risk of injury is high (Robertson already looks to be out a month). They’ve also only brought in one new player.

I could see them finishing anywhere from 2nd to 7th.


Hopefully 7th …

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Honestly after City, IMO, it's a grab bag between LFC, United, Chelsea and Leicester. 2-5 I find they're all pretty interchangeable.

On a sidenote, I'm interested to see how Lille does this year in Ligue 1, mainly to scope out how Jonathan David plays. Hopefully he has a big year and gets a big club to go after him. Here's hoping!
