I saw on twitter that Lucci, Sturridge's dog has been found!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This sounds like a good way to finish outside the top 4.

I don't expect Lampard to do that well.

I don't expect Lampard to do that well.

He is coming in at a tough time with the Transfer issues, so it will likely be a unfortunate time for the next season or so.

I was rather impressed with what Lampard has done with Derby. Especially considering it's his first ever coaching job. The sample size is still very small, but I don't think he'll do too bad at Chelsea. Expectations aren't too high and he should be able to take back control in the locker room from the players if you ask me.

And if things don't go as planned I'd expect him to politely step down without hesitation. Wouldn't want to taint his club legacy.

I don't think Pulisic's position is the reason Chelsea misses top 4. They barely made it with Hazard.

 

[Havre]

I don't think it is a given Spurs will end up top 4 if Eriksen and Alderweireld ends up leaving. Possibly the two most important players in Spurs' build up play, but with N'Dombele in and I am assuming at least Lo Celso if CE leaves then they have at least done something to replace what they have lost (also probably strengthened longer term). In other words, I think 3 out of the top 4 should be City, Liverpool and Spurs (any team might just get lost though).

As for 4th I agree that Chelsea without Hazard shouldn't normally make it. But so far I am almost shocked at how little Utd and Arsenal have done. It isn't exactly given that either of those teams will just overtake Chelsea. Close to a three way coin toss for me at the moment. Whoever gets some momentum going....

...and a real manager.

I think we will have an other battle for fifth where all the teams outside of Pool and City fight it out for Europa league football. First to lose to New Castle and draw Brighton in back to back weeks is the winner.

Liverpool's First Preseason game is in an hour. Some interesting names.

Mignolet

So does he get a CL medal?

So does he get a CL medal?

He did, yes.

Peter Crouch announced his retirement from the Prem today. Another legend of the English game moving on....

Best moment has to be from the 2010 world Cup when he scored and did the most awkward robot-dance celebration of all time!

Someday we will get past these kind of incidents

 

[S E P H]

He did, yes.

Lol, after all the pain he gave you lot?

@AB13 I'm curious. What is your opinion of Ndombele?

@AB13 I'm curious. What is your opinion of Ndombele?

Great player, sadly he is brilliant. Not sure if he is better than Torriera though but still a top 10 midfielder in the Prem most likely. He will hate playing infront of a very low crowd full of bandwagons, he is too good for that.

"Not sure if he is better than Torriera"

Man this guy never stops. Quality stuff.

Torriera is one of the best midfielders in the League and I think almost everyone can agree on that. Please dont overexagerrate.

 

[N o o d l e s]

@AB13 I'm curious. What is your opinion of Ndombele?

Probably worse than Xhaka

Where do you have torreira ranked in the PL for midfielders?

 

[AB13]

Where do you have torreira ranked in the PL for midfielders?

Around 7-10

Kante, Silva, De Bruyne, Pogba, Eriksen, Silva and Neves are better, I must admit.

 

[AB13]

Probably worse than Xhaka

Not really, Xhaka is too inconsistent. I could see the argument of course but I do not really think so.
