Topic: Premier League Fixtures 11th - 12th - 13th August

[Barneylfc∗]

The main problem here is Utds kind opening fixtures. Don't want them getting a head of steam up.

Like they did last year? And the year before?

[JCB]

Bilic just barely managed to hang on to his job last season. I really can't see him staying past October at a stretch.

cue us playing them the week after he gets sacked...can just see it.

[Sarge]

Paddy Power

Pogba and Lukaku both score in a 4-0 Man Utd win.

That noise you hear is the smug, frantic typing of all the Man Utd fans in the world. May god have mercy on us all.

League positions end of season

Like last season? They were flying after about 6 games, then went to shit once they had to play some decent sides, if I remember rightly.

[Wool]

They are a really good side, I think people are deluding themselves if they think that squad won't challenge for the league this season. Liverpool fans talking about how great they are to watch and all that is grim though.

[Redman78]

Well this is going to be an insufferable week.

Roll on Tuesday!

[Caligula?]

What idiot enjoys us conceding 3+ goals to relegation fodders?

[El Lobo]

A thousand times this.

Are people stupid or something? I know this is tribal, I get that. But this is logic. They're not sitting on 21 league titles for no reason lads, once Mourinho wins the title in his first season he very rarely doesn't win it in his second either.

[Kekule]

So I'm guessing that "the fear factor is back" like it was for three weeks at the beginning of last season when they became champions of August, and then everyone remembered they had actually figured Mourinho out the previous season and it all went to pot, again.

Forgive me if I don't shit myself just yet.

This is different though.

If I had a quid for every time I heard this for the past 4 seasons...

No-one wins the league in August mate.

[Barneylfc∗]

They just closed the show there with

"Top of the league in week 1. Ominous"

 

[RyanBabel19]

I can't wait til we play them in October. We'll see how much they fucking swagger then, the utter c*nts.

Will probably be the usual shite, we huff and puff only to see it end in a shit draw

[AaronSingh25]

That was a bloody grim weekend.

[El Lobo]

That was a bloody grim weekend.

I've seen a lot worse.

[Barneylfc∗]

That was a bloody grim weekend.

Only if you're a miserable c*nt who sees nothing but doom and gloom in life

[Red_Rich]

That was a bloody grim weekend.

City, Spurs, United and Arsenal were always going to win so a Chelsea defeat has kind of balanced our somewhat unexpected draw out.

[Rob Dylan]

Might as well end all football now. The greatest performance in the history of the game. The pinnacle of human sporting endeavour. Everything after this will be a huge anti-climax.

[RyanBabel19]

Shit start but could have been a lot worse

Slightly concerning that we don't seem to have learned from previous mistakes when it comes to preparing for a season but what can you do? We shoot ourselves in the foot season in season out and then act suprised when it goes wrong, who's feet the blame lays at remains to be seen. We don't seem to have a good strategy for taking advantage of good opportunities ahead of rival like the teams we dislike seeing succeed and until that changes we will struggle to achieve anything of note

[JCB]

Only if you're a miserable c*nt who sees nothing but doom and gloom in life

So you've met Aaron then

[The North Bank]

Credit where its due, United have been the best side this season and deserve this title, hate to say it but congrats to them.
We just all need to do better next season.

[jillcwhomever]

That was a quick season I've only seen one game.

[CallumLFC]

Pogba is actually really good. However much everyone here likes to think he is shite.

[Crosby Nick]

You've not met Aaron before then?

I am shocked FC Sexy are only third I swore they won it yesterday.

[JCB]

Pogba is actually really good. However much everyone here likes to think he is shite.

But is he Lukaku good? That's the question.

[El Lobo]

Pogba is actually really good. However much everyone here likes to think he is shite.

He should be one of the most expensive players in the world

I don't think Guardiola will survive he really had to win the league this season.

[Purple Red]

Give them the trophy now.

[jillcwhomever]

Give them the trophy now.

I think Sky already have.

[dernoom]

Brilliant performance. Matic absolutely bossed it.

[campioni]

Heard a bit of the United match on 5 live earlier then put sky on for 5 minutes there before having to turn it off. What time are they presenting the league trophy to united this evening? Is Matic getting the Balon D'or at the same time?

[RJ320]

That's it, they've got it all wrapped up. Might as well tell all the other teams to shut up shop, they've got another one in the bag. Greatest team in the land.

[Purple Red]

I think Sky already have.

Bless them.

Need to thank them for coining "The swagger is back" though.

Will make a nice soundbite when they're drawing at home to Huddersfield.

[jillcwhomever]

Here he is the hero looking so dapper in his suit. Such a ray of sunshine as well.

[Robinred]

Yep. The season is over already. Who'd have thought a week or two ago?

[Iska]

Damnit though, I really didn't want that shower of c*nts building up any fast momentum this year, and giving the next few showers an excuse to roll over for them.  I wouldn't be surprised if they're still on maximum points before we get our hands on them.

[El Lobo]

Are we letting this stand?

Is it not 21?! 

1907–08, 1910–11, 1951–52, 1955–56, 1956–57, 1964–65, 1966–67, 1992–93, 1993–94, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1998–99, 1999–2000, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09, 2010–11, 2012–13, 2016-2017

That's 21 by my admittedly average counting skills.

Yeah, made a tit of myself there.  I forgot 1910-11.
