f**k sake. Any chance of VAR ?

Although I'm not convinced the general narrative of City falling off post Pep (atleast straight away) will come true it would be hilarious if it happens and we've timed our run (with Paez joining) to perfection and gazump Arsenal straight away.

One can hope, as touched on the other day though, Olise would block Paez pathway for sure, but at the same time we still have an entire season to go through without Paez. Therefore, you can understand why they might not want Madueke there the only natural RW. Nkunku and Palmer are gonna be in the upper central zones, where Paez also likes to vacate; Enzo.. we’re waiting on how the bald Enzo is gonna handle that. Ultimately, there’s a domino effect either way. Good luck to them.

Trial this fall, no? 

Wonder how long it'll last. 

Problem is. It will galvanise them, ‘us against the world’ bullsh*t, Pep will be loving it. Date of decision is also Summer 2025, so they can cruise to a 5th title and as mentioned their final 5 fixtures are an absolute breeze. Arsenal are the only other established force development-wise who can match them, bar a Leicester miracle from someone else. 

Boring boring. f**k me, just hope we can at least go for a Cup.

Call it a juicy first fixture, that sounds more optimistic!

At worst we're only 3 points behind the leaders after the first day. Easy peasy to catch up 

3 points behind and a damaging goal difference 🤣

f**king hell, just turned the calender to write in the August fixtures knowing we were at home to Citeh first game and saw we are playing them 3rd August KO at 22.30 !

Took me a while to figure it out !

I need to find the preseason fixture list and what sites I can stream them on. 

Keep procrastinating and I'll probably forget to watch the first match. Gggrrrrr

More importantly can you stream the football instead pls, not that anyone says your nakedness is less important, but it's the final!!!

Lol

 

On a serious note:

One of the things I really hate about the UK and football, I mean it really gets me very angry. We are the only country that can't get access either via legal/illegal streams to ALL the Premier league games because of TV rights and money! They would rather not show games than losing rights or money!

Every country i have lived in has ALL the Premier league games either as a subscription or part of a sports package. Oh, pls don't make me go off on a rant again...changing the subject back.

 

so Val...how about a compromise. We pay! We will pay for the nudity but watch the footy? 😘

Nah...I love new tech, just hate the restrictions and constant pay per view bollocks.

The most important question is: Are we gonna defend the Premier League Summer Series ?

I think the friendlies should be on the official site! Though, over the last few years it's advertised but hit or miss whether it's on there!

My old man bought tickets for the Milan friendly despite me telling him not to. It’ll be my second day in Edinburgh which he knows because he’s taking me to the airport. Silly old bastard.

Yeah, the fixtures are up, not sure if all of them are there. They used to show friendlies ages ago on the website iirc. 

Can we get a preseason matches section on here so we can share working streams and yap about the games pls?

I don't think I've ever watched a streaming site that didn't freeze the moment a goal is scored. Lol

We can't share those links in posts as we'll get copyright claims! 👀

Oooo....maybe a private (non searchable) section may magically appear, lol, jk bud.

 

Cheers anyway mate. Can we use the normal match thread for yapping though? I never see preseason games in there. I guess not many try to watch preseason anyway.

Show some initiative instead of scouring the internet for pornsites, and create the pre-season thread yourself! Sheesh, kids today....

There isn't a PL Summer Series this year. The PL couldn't come to an agreement with the clubs re broadcast rights for the Series. Clubs decided they could earn more dealing individually with promoters and broadcasting on their own platforms.
