think its a raffle
What's the definition of an optimist?
The new Watford manager buying himself a house in the area rather than renting.

Totally irrelevant, the point was, Frank was faced with hurdles not of his making, everyone questioned his appointment, the kids weren’t good enough, we’d implode without Hazard etc etc, and yet............

Been very impressed with cheslea , working with what they have .. Frank been fantastic
Think Tammy might be off? Post lockdown he bearly played and you have the new guy
Could win the cup aswell which would be amazin
Teams in 3rd and 4th closer points wise to Bournemouth than they are to the winners , celebrating mediocrity- something that wouldn’t expect from Chelsea and Man Utd but that’s the way of the land at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
theres an echo in here
Man united have impressed me since lockdown. Bruno could be perfect fit for them.
Could see them pushing city and Liverpool next season
The league will be very competitive next season
Just like Chelsea they, (Man Utd), have a poor back line , and it’s the defence that wins titles for teams.
Man Utd got a nice friendly run after lockdown.
Many teams in the past have had good attacks but call short because they can’t defend.
I expect the top four to be the same teams with Liverpool and City having a clear gap behind them

Err, wrong .......................... just ridiculously wrong.
City conceded 1 fewer than us, Liverpool conceded 3 fewer than us. Every other team conceded more!
Chelsea conceded 18 more than United.
How can you possibly start to justify that hilarious suggestion?
If the nature of the competition is fundamentally different due to the change of rules then yes IMO there should be an asterisk after the name of the winners. So the winner of the CL this year should have an asterisk because switching to straight knock out rather than two legs is a fundamental change in the competition.
With regards to Stu's point about agreeing the changes due to health and safety, surely the same could be said of the changes to the CL. For health and safety reasons the clubs have agreed to switch to a single knock out game being played at neutral venues in Portugal.
The potential spike in numbers also doesn't add up as an argument. There are 900 new cases reported in Spain. The PL restarted on 17th June and on that date the UK had 1346 new cases. On 28th May when the decision to restart the PL was made there were 1887 new cases.
Just love the fact that Liverpool fans are now thinking it's a good idea to make the CL null and void when they were so vocal about the PL not being made null and void. And for the record, the only time I suggested that the PL should be voided was in jest because my brother is a Liverpool fan.
Absolutely agree. United have a very average defence, Wan Bissaka aside. They need a top quality centre half with some pace to play alongside Maguire, and a left back. I like Shaw, but he won’t manage an entire season injury free. And if the opportunity comes up to replace de Gea they need to seriously look at it - his confidence has been shot for a long, long time.
They just about have a first eleven to give anyone a run for their money, but still lack strength in depth. The heavy reliance on Fernandes is already showing as he looks knackered. He can’t be expected to carry them every week.
So, not as far off as most thought they were, but still short of challenging the top two. Three signings minimum needed.
congrats on finishing 4th in the worst prem ever bar the top 2 ill send you a trophy over

I’m guessing you must be a Man Utd fan because only someone wearing huge red tinted glasses would even suggest that their backline is good enough
The GK makes monumental mistakes and is close to being one of the worst in the league ( same at Chelsea )
The left back isn’t good enough and doesn’t stay fit enough
Maguire is hugely overrated- headless chicken who can’t pass water
The Swedish bloke just isn’t quick enough , strong enough or commanding enough to be in a backline to win the title - their best CB is out on loan
The right back is very good defensively - Bambi on ice going forward
Chelsea’s backline even worse
If neither team purchases any defenders then they won’t challenge for the title. Liverpool won the title because of their backline being head and shoulders above any other team in the league.
