LIVARPOOL!

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

It's been three days and none of you fuckers has put up a thread yet?

June is without doubt the worst month. The football's done (except for the CL final but as no English teams are involved it's poo poo). The transfer window hasn't properly opened yet (don't tell City that). Friendlies haven't started (don't tell Liverpool that). So what can we talk about?

Managers
There's been a number of managerial changes since the end of the season:

Sam Allardyce has left Crystal Palace to drink pints of wine on the beach
Arsene Wenger has defied expectations and signed a new two year contract extension (hahahahahaha)
Marco Silva has left Hull to take over from Walter Mazzarri in a move that sent waves across the division

Promoted Teams
We welcome all the hundreds of Huddersfield, Newcastle, and Brighton and Hove Albion fans to the Premier League thread. I know this is going to be a difficult time with such an influx of new posters, but I'm sure we'll find a way to manage.

Beach Pics
All the Arsenal players are on holiday so expect a lot of pictures of them topless on beaches around the world

That's it. There's nothing else to talk about. gently caress this dead gay sport and this dead gay forum.

can't wait to watch us draw 0-0 away at huddersfield and see numerous replays of a fat man who's only left yorkshire twice jump up and down like his team aren't bottom by fifteen points

This is the first time that I'll watch my team in the top flight, looking forward to being patronised by pundits, being called a pooftah by a mancunian and getting beat every week. Oh and also everyone being confused about why we have a rivalry with Crystal Palace.

Do you have an actual seagull as your mascot? I feel like that is the most important question.

Yeah, it used to be a dolphin but at some point in the late 70s it got changed to a seagull after Brighton fans regularly chanted that back to Palace fans chanting eagles. Yeah its about as noddy as it sounds.

Don't forget getting 3-6 points out of your matches against Liverpool.

Sorry for triple posting but Rooney got brought down and has been arguing vociferously with the ref about being denied a penalty even as the crowd's clapping Carrick for being subbed off. This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen

LONDON - Police conducted a raid on a block of flats in Barking, London, on Sunday morning as part of the investigation into the terror attacks on London Bridge and Borough Market last night.

Sky said the raid was on the home of one of the attackers - implying that police already know the identity of at least one of the three terrorists. [The names of the attackers will be published in this post as soon as they become available.]

Twelve people were arrested in the raid. Locals told Sky that they recognised a neighbour as the suspect who had been killed by police last night. One suspect, seen in the image above, wore a close-cropped beard and wore an Arsenal away football shirt.

No homo but Seedorf is an Adonis and will be ripped until the day he dies from being too in shape.

Rooney will die six months after retiring after gaining 100 pounds in a week.

Rooney didn't look the slightest bit out of place playing against retirees. Him arguing strenuously with the ref after receiving a weak push in the box was hilarious.

But the funniest bit was Carragher slamming into Gary Neville lol :cawg:

He's still as passionate as ever, you see. He can't help getting fired up, he's a born competitor. Any club would be lucky to have him.
