Yes football is back! After a fairly uneventful summer with no European tournaments worth noting and who the gently caress cares about Olympic football we are graced once again by Premier League football starting in 2 weeks Welcome to all the new posters that somehow found our bastion of shitposting about IRL Subbuteo, not sure how you found us this summer with no notable European tournaments going on tbh but we hope you hang around, pick a fun team if you dont have one already. Your current league table: We welcome Watford and Norwich back to the league and newcomers Brentford make up our promoted teams. For the nth season in a row Arsenal start top of the league, however insider knowledge has told me this will be rectified after the first week of the season. During the summer Manchester Utd went and bought all their transfer targets and have already been crowned champions, so this obviously wont blow up in their faces. City may or may not spend £200m on Grealish and Kane Liverpool ive been told are stil poo. This is eternal. We bought Ibrahim Konate, another CB with....poo poo, a poor injury record. Oh and Newcastle have kept Steve Bruce on for "reasons"... Notable dates: 7th August - Everyone's 3rd favourite team (behind Leeds) Leicester City play perennial under investigation for cheating Manchester City in the Community Shield. 13th August - League kicks off with Brentford hosting mid table cloggers (and my darkhorse relegation candidate) Arsenal 14th/15th August - Rest of our Match week 1 fixtures CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Aug 2, 2021 |

Strange that the thread promoting the league where European champion Jorginho plays for European champion Chelsea wouldn't mention that.

The last European Championship was won by Portugual. There was supposed to be one last summer but the pandemic cancelled it and they just decided to skip it until 2024

Leeds are actually everyone's second team now op. We've signed a new reserve goalkeeper to replace the racist one that we sent out on loan because no one wants his awful contract, and a fullback from Barcelona and thats it. Prepared for a tricky second season

Ready for another mildly disappointing spurs season in which we miss out on Champions League, bottle the Europa Conference at the first hint of a decent team and get done in a domestic cup semi by probably Chelsea. The neutrals might not hate us as much now Mou is gone though, but I don't rate Nuno as the manager to really get the team to push on. On the positive, new signings and potential signings look good and I'm sure the cheese room is ready for a big season.

I'm hoping Southampton can manage to play well over a whole season rather than the half season we managed last season. We've signed a left back to replace Bertrand and a couple of Chelsea youth players but perhaps more importantly we've finally got some deadwood like Hoedt and Lemina off the wage bill. Aston Villa can gently caress off with their £25m bid for Ward-Prowse though, if we do sell we better be asking for at least half their Grealish money.

Arsenal look to have spent approx £75m this season without having got appreciably better. In fact, since they haven’t replaced Odegaard, they’re probably worse than they were in the second half of last season. Arsenal hosed around all summer buying kids who are by all accounts bad and taking six months to wrap up the Ben white deal. Now they have to panic buy the attacking midfielder that Arteta has been saying he’s needed to make his system with for two years.

I have received word that Erling Haaland may or may not be interested potentially in a transfer to European champion Chelsea but Dortmund are not altogether uninterested in selling for the wrong price and Roman hasn't not submitted a bid to be confirmed yet Tier 1 journo btw

Really happy with United's transfer dealings so far (which are down to Ole's strategic planning if they're successful, and a final blow from the accursed Woodward on his way out if not), but honestly not sure that we'll have the depth to win the league this season unless Liverpool and City both drop off from where they were respectively in the last couple of seasons Progress still better than being Tottenham, though

https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/1422463473045417995 More on the changes: https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/var-rules-premier-league-new-season-b1895481.html quote:The idea that a player has to go down to guarantee a penalty is one that has governed most of modern football, but such “streetwise” moves could be stamped out of the English game as part of a series of rule changes for the 2021/22 season, that also see “the benefit of the doubt” returned to attackers for offside decisions.

Kane still hasn't showed up and apparently still hasn't phoned Nuno yet. Went on his hols to Florida which means he gets an extra five days of not training when he gets back, an inspirational bit of skiving
