Don't necessarily disagree but the context is a little different, we were on a huge upward curve, had just come within 4pts of the title and were clearly the second best team in the country at the time and just as likely to win the league, although it didn't work out. I think it's more the "saga" aspect of this thing which is tiresome, he's been rumored to be moving in each of the past 2 or 3 summer windows.

I mean i'm crap at predicting scores but i'll go for 2-2. They're light a couple of talented midfielders but we might be without Schar (haven't heard anything concrete) and so could stretch us a bit and opening day often throws up weird and high scoring games. That said EH will have learned a lot from the April game and i'd expect there'll be no repeat of that and Emery already showed his shit by taking the pre-season game so seriously.

Should have happened Last Christmas

"We've become so small time"...self-awareness at an all-time high in Chickentown

There's always some mug club comes along and bails out the big 6 from their terrible purchases. That said, a plyer like Maguire can still be a functional defender in the right system.

Bet they couldn't accept that fast enough

Think Caicedo tried to force a move to Arsenal in the winter window. Seems like he doesn't care which club he goes to so long as it's a big money move to any London club. Bit of a tosser.

Feel like we've barely scratched the surface with the boy Isak, so much more to come from him

We're building quite a squad like and reducing the overall average age all the time. I do think it's slightly odd that we ended the season and probably I felt like we needed an LB and RW and we've actually signed an RB and LW, not what I expected but wtf do I know.

Wonder where Ashby fits in the long-term planning or if he fits in at all really with the Livra signing. We have a lot of talent and depth at the position now, assume the the like of Manq and Krafth may be moving on? Edit - wasn't really thinking past Tripps but I suppose Ashby then becomes cover for Livra

Agreed and got fucking robbed at Anfield into the bargain. They are the one I want to beat the most this season, even if that is a bit petty. Hate them honestly.

Absolutely aching for us to give Liverpool a good hiding this season

Barcelona are the pits as a club, they truly are.

Everton are going to be a hoot this season

Same

I've been on the Jack and coke a while, this thread has been brilliant, the future's bright. Cheers lad

This thread is class

Feels wrong liking your post as well

Aye think the goal was as much Rich's fault as anyone's

Targett, Dummett, Pope and Ashby all at fault apparently
