New season, new thread.

Footballers really should just stay out of all of this stuff, they make themselves look stupid every single time.

@Mod @coco Pin, now, I'll bring out the whip again!

This Martinez guy is a bit crazy. Two games in a row where he made crazy tackles in pre season. 

This imo a must watch. 

Thoroughly surprised that no top club came in for him. On a free, even at inflated wages, he would be an excellent squad player for Tottenham, United or Chelsea covering deep midfield roles.

He was very poor last season, almost like he downed tools. I was a fan of him before that, but he didn't look like he cared to dig in deep and save Leicester from relegation.

Every football fan should be made to watch this, if only to highlight why sometimes players don't see the "easy" passes fans do from elevated positions in the ground, or even worse a hundred cameras.

You don't even have a second before you get close down.

Lots of United fans are worried. They've been shambolic trying to play out from the back and it almost feels forced. Onana is going to be looking like an even wilder Neuer with the way he sweeps and its going to be hilarious seeing him found out. 

Mount already criticized now too.

f**k Bellingham. c**t tried to crop Reece in the Dortmund game last season.

 

I've seen a lot of people jumping to his defence and saying he didn't mean it and the proof is because he cried. No, he's crying because he feels guilty after his cowardly act has potentially ruined this guys career. I'm amazed that people jump to the defence of this kind of thing, he clearly went to hurt the guy. There was zero reason to stick his leg out like that.

Hes absolutely done him there, crocodile tears just shows hes even more of a c**t, thats a disgusting "tackle" the dirty w**ker.

That's the worst injury I've ever seen. 

Jesus, what a horrible day to have eyes.

He has a serious attitude issue, and he's overrated imo. Glad we stayed clear 

Yep wish I hadn’t watched that one.

Tielemeans? 

I think his profile is similar to jorgi. Tielemeans is probably the better passer but both can't run. And as we have seen with jorgi, it is a bit complicated to have a balance team with this kind of player. 

Wohooo, football is back. 

Next season there are many questions for many of our rivals. 

1. City

What is pep's plan? Foden as Gundo replacement? Diamond midfield? Where do you play Kova? 

2. Arse 

Rice is a big improvement over Partey. But Kai over granit bring many question. Can they also sustain the same form as last year with additional cl burden? 

3. United 

Ten hag started last season trying to implement tippy tappy ball in a team whose best players are rashford, bruno and casemiro. It was a disaster. They got better once they went back to Ole counter ball. Will ten hag try to play tippy tappy ball once more?

Mount is a very good addition. I have no idea about Onana but De gea was very error prone. 

4. Newcastle 

I barely watched them so I don't know. 

5. Pool

So many question. DM? Can you defend with mccalister and szobo? Is it nunez/gakpo? 

6. Spurs 

Kane? and how they handle playing new style under Poste.

I predicted we were going to be laughing at United for buying Onana but must admit I am surprised at how quickly it's happened LOL
