What a depressing picture. There are no matches to watch until the clubs use the pre-season to start whoring themselves out to the highest bidders. Here is a selection of what might be entertaining to watch for your club this month...

Arsenal:
July 19 - Bayern Munich (Shanghai Stadium - International Champions Cup)
July 22 - Chelsea (Bird’s Nest Stadium, Beijing)
July 29 - Benfica (Emirates Cup)
July 30 - Sevilla (Emirates Cup)

Bournemouth:
July 30 - Valencia (Vitality Stadium)

Brighton:
Norwich hosts them on 29th of July, and the only poo poo that will be found in either dressing room will be Norwich's squad (Condolences BSE)

Burnley:

This space left intentionally blank

July 22 - Arsenal (Bird's Nest Stadium, Beijing)

West Ham:
July 28 - Werder Bremen (Betway Cup)
July 29 - Werder Bremen (Betway Cup)

Fun topics of discussion:


How much did Arsenal pay Santi Cazorla's surgeons, and can I be one of them too?


But can they deliver a performance that isn't massively poo poo?


Will he just gently caress off already?


Fuckin' Jurgen Klopp.


Is David Silva starring in a remake of Philadelphia?

Niederkorn is actually German for "weirdly-shaped, tiny penis." It was Pep Guardiola's nickname at Bayern.

I wish Pulis was still running the pre-season training at Stoke. At least the players would start the season looking fit instead of taking 2 months of the season to get to match fitness.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/06/jermain-defoe-edie-howe-bournemouth-raring-to-go

quote:

Defoe speaks with the six-year-old’s family every day and they exchange messages. “I was away and did a little video for him,” he says. “He did one for me just before England played France. He did a message, which was nice. Even at this stage where he is in pain, he always seems to find a smile.”

But what did Bradley say about his move to Bournemouth? “He didn’t really say anything,” Defoe says. “I thought he was going to tell me off.”
