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

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

I don't know what you mean OP.

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

This is true. Updating the OP

I remember when Utd and Arsenal fans would bitch over who's team was better.

Now all they have is who's owner is worse

It was an incredible 10 game run tbf but Arsenal beating Chelsea was probably the most important game

Some of the problems Arsenal are facing now are down to decisions made in Wenger's latter years, such as having players like Mustafi on stupid wages which led to the club having to terminate his contract so they didn't even get a fee for him

Yes but those things are still happening.

Look at Willians contract

Arsenal are a fail club that could do with a season in the championship.
