Premier League 2018-2019

An evil, murderous, fascist dictator.

And Putin.

If someone's going to post here, I'm going to point out the obvious. Know the game.

 

[Live in the Now]

A 12 point gap is nothing. Liverpool were 25 points off of Manchester City and they think they are favourites going into next season. 12 points is a 2 game swing. I'm not going to go back and look at results to give examples of how things could have turned with a little fortune, because the season was so depressing, but 12 points is nothing.

Who said Liverpool were favorites? Talk about a bad post on pages full of them.

 

[Live in the Now]

Liverpool got absolutely screwed by their December schedule but the rest isn't too bad.

This is highlighted by playing Arsenal on the 29th and Man City on the 1st. No idea how that happened compared to the rest of top six:

LFC play Arsenal & City
SPURS play Wolves & Cardiff
UNITED play Bournemouth & Newcastle
CHELSEA play Palace & Saints
CITY play Saints & Liverpool
ARSENAL play Liverpool & Fulham

All 29th & 1st

I hope LFC play their youth team in Manchester on Jan 1.

I'd rather have those two games be more difficult. The run-in is piss easy. If they have a good first half, they could pile up the points late on.

Thanks to the UK press regulator, any Newcastle fans who wish to compare Mike Ashley with Kin Jong Un in print may do so- at least, as long as they are careful about the wording.

Times article comparing Mike Ashley to Kim Jong-un was fair, Ipso rules

Mike Ashley likes to portray himself as a man who doesn't care what anyone thinks about him. How to square his maverick self-image with this legal action is a moot point.

Of course they will.

Not that it is up to Spurs. He is sold to Utd I heard.

Wouldn't be in this situation right now if not for Bayer Leverkusen.

South Korea to Allow Alternatives for Military Service

He would still have to live there for two years while doing that.

You'd think that serving his country on the pitch would be good enough

The way Tottenham players have stood out for their squads at the WC, dammit, how about winning something with the club, boys?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Some movement on the fixture days/times now is coming out.

United open up the season vs Leicester on Friday August 10th.

Palace v Liverpool moved to Monday August 20th

United v Spurs moved to Monday August 27th.

Keita will be interesting to watch in the EPL this season.

 

[robertmac43]

So will a full season of Arsenal's offense

 

[Havre]

Hopefully Sterling will continue his goalscoring form into the PL season - and Fernandinho his general play.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Trippier is more than welcome to keep this up too.

Spurs have 9 players left, just add Eriksen and Son and you could have their starting 11.

This is going to be the problem with Karius going forward. People will be so hard on him and point out exactly everything he does wrong. People need to just let it go and give him a new chance

Looks like Chelsea will stick with Conte, unless they fire him within the next week or so when the transfer window opens. It would be really weird to fire him later, then the new manager would have little time to assess his players, alter the training and playing system plus influence potential transfers.

I still think if Liverpool go into the season without at least a really good backup for Karius (1A/1B), then they'll regret it. He showed good things in the latter half of last season, but he still made some mistakes outside of the CL final that should worry you. He certainly doesn't inspire confidence, which is a big deal for the players in front of him.

Old photo? Because apparently he posted on his instagram to shut down the rumors of him being out of shape.

As to Karius- recent training snippet...just press play

According to Shaw himself that was two weeks ago. The publication which had that picture (Mirror) also had the story of Shaw resuming training early as well. We'll see how that works. In other United related news, Andreas Pereira will be given a chance to make the first team during the season.
