August 17, 20251 yr 2 hours ago, Zico said: ps we beat Sunderland 6-0 at home 3.5 years ago and look at them now We beat Ipswich 5-2 at Portman Road in the same season, and they reached the Premier League the year before Sunderland. Tier 3 to 1 is very achievable.

They looked like they need another 2 weeks pre season . Impressed by their resilience and defensive strength. Expecting them to be top or second (again) at the end of the season. Way too early to be judging them mind. They have a tough August/September. If they are anywhere near the summit after games like they will face in the first two months I will be fancying them to get the job done this season.
August 18, 20251 yr Some pundits already saying Liverpool will win it, and that city aren't good enough. We're one game in! Motd did a brief analysis of Liverpool's defending and teams may well be able to exploit it.

I have it on good authority (@davidjack 😉) that our longest spell outside top division is 15 years, not 17 (1980-1995...next longest was 1964-1978) We’ve managed 73 seasons in the top flight - The most of any club without winning the fucker! And as Zico said playing football in the top flight every decade. A big ask in modern day football to achieve that status again. I’d happily settle for top end of the Championship with occasional promotion pushes. But our fine and fantastic history and tradition suggests it could be better! Anyway back in the real world, despite our lofty ambitions, I’m happy with what SS is doing currently and I’m happy to demonstrate an element of patience while this new squad and brand bed in.
August 18, 20251 yr As an aside, Arsenal celebrate 100 successive years in the top flight this season. That is some going.

Look how many of our lot were close to self harm after the season opener at Stockport. It's a mad world.
August 19, 20251 yr Adrian durham on comms last night, said Everton look as bad as alan brazil at the end of cheltenham week
August 19, 20251 yr I listened on talksport. Their pundits saud it was a definite penalty, and reckoned the defender knew what he was doing by leaning into to ball, but making it look like he was trying to tuck his arm away.

He didn't just make it look like he was tucking his arm away, he did tuck his arm away. Any defender that doesn't try to get his body in the way of that shot isn't doing his job (even though Pickford would have saved it). I read there were only 9 pens for handball in the Prem all last season. If they're giving them for leaning towards the ball it will be more like 90 this season.

He was unlucky that's for sure, but it hit him on the arm and prevented a goal scoring opportunity. Penalty for me. Just.

August 19, 20251 yr Just said on the radio Huddersfield fans are groaning as they've been caught in possession countless times by playing it out from the back.
August 19, 20251 yr Watching Stockport, they move the ball so quickly, looks like they have an extra man on the pitch. Got to disagree with the folks on here that wrote them off preseason.
August 19, 20251 yr 38 minutes ago, Zico said: All eyes on Rangers v Bruges Sounds like a shocking start!
