Topic: Premier League Fixtures 18th - 21st August

[Keita Success]

No ones getting near City, let's face it. Their defence costs about 500 million alone. Haaland, Alvarez, KDB, Foden, Grealish. Probably spend another 100 mil in January.

Have to see Newcastle as a top 4 rival for now so hope they lose.

My thoughts exactly.

[CS111]

They dont allow teams to have the ball for more than 10 seconds or they are all over them
Forcing them to punt it anywhere. If you can pass through the pressing you have a chance

Doesn't England have five teams in next season (I'm not sure)?

Eddie Howe’s the first manager to take notes, apparently.

He does have a great pen...and a pad, it's probably a Field Notes pad, not your normal 5 for £2 shite from Poundland.  I bet his pen is a Parker or something.  He is wearing a top that's two sizes too small though, the tory prick.

And the ink’s blood.

Laced with his soul.

[Peabee]

Should Sky just ignore the alphabet to appease Liverpool fans ?  It's two games.

Someone doesn’t know their alphabet. 

[Mozology]

Yeah, I've no doubts about us getting Top 4, we'll outscore Spurs and Utd. Villa and Brighton are never finishing Top 4. As for Newcastle and Chelsea, one of them will but not both. Arsenal and City are certainties.

Worst we do this season is finish 4th.

Think we'll finish 2nd or 3rd.

City could hit the 100 point mark, yawn.

[reddebs]

Fuck off with the apologising for the 'tasty' language. 

It's football FFS, not a knit 'n' natter group round at Betty's 😡

[killer-heels]

City will win the league but dunno, I don’t think they will get over 90 points.

[Wghennessy]

We get another quality midfielder and why cant we challenge?

[CS111]

Give klopp a billion and we'd be watching something special, unfortunately he has to do with leftovers when the oil clubs are dining at the top table. Really is a shame

[Hedley Lamarr]

Someone doesn’t know their alphabet. 

I just assumed they called us shitehawks

[Mozology]

Beat Newcastle and we've an early big lead over them, and they'd still have to come to Anfield, plus two bastard aways  chalked off already.

[killer-heels]

Halland, Alvarez and Foden is a pretty potent front three. All young as well.

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

Foden and Rodri are class, mad losing De Bruyne doesn't have the type of impact it should

[Keita Success]

Forden and Rodri are class, mad losing De Bruyne dor them doesn't have the type of impact it should

Yeah, Foden's absolutely fantastic. Reminds me of a much better Lallana.

[Gazza-LFC]

Again, far worse that Macca's and still on the pitch. What a joke.

[smicer07]

How is Gordon still on the pitch?

[Wghennessy]

How is Gordon still on the pitch? Dirty bastard

[Copenred]

Gordons tackling on Ruben Dias worse than the one that gave Mac Ally a straight red card.

[smicer07]

Gordons tackling on Ruben Dias worse than the one that gave Mac Ally a straight red card.

It's his second one as well.

[stockdam]

How is Gordon still on the pitch? Dirty bastard

Not much different to Mac’s tackle today but Mac tried to pull out.

[RedG13]

Halland, Alvarez and Foden is a pretty potent front three. All young as well.

Alvarez and Foden are playing in the half spaces as midfielders.

[wampa1]

City could hit the 100 point mark, yawn.

Any other team I'd say have the absolute worst set of Oct/Nov/early-Dec set of fixtures you could dream of. If they come out of that top of the league, they're nailed on.

[Wghennessy]

Not much different to Mac’s tackle today but Mac tried to pull out.

Nothing like it.

[killer-heels]

Alvarez and Foden are playing in the half spaces as midfielders.

Yep but they are pretty much attackers.

[stockdam]

Mac gets sent off whilst Gordon gets nothing for similar challenges. We need to kick up about it and ask why things are not consistent.

[RedG13]

Yep but they are pretty much attackers.

Yea with Walker that wide better be getting something from them. Walker basically a 0 down the right. Grealish provides down the left.
Those spaces that Alvarez and Foden are in is where Liverpool want Szobozlai, Elliott, Jones, Mac Allister a lot of the time with Salah and Diaz a little wider. Gakpo can play in those spaces too getting the stuff farther back will help that

[Robinred]

You basically have to discount 1st place from now on even before a ball is kicked. It's already been decided.

You are a wonder, you really are. I cannot even begin to fathom what goes on between your ears.

[JRed]

Another tackle worse than Macs today. Let’s see what happens…

Edit: Oh, nothing.
No way is Macs not getting rescinded. Surely.

[Gazza-LFC]

That's another one that's a  red card by Macca's standards. Give up

[DelTrotter]

We'll do very well to avoid an injury v these next week, they don't half make some horror tackles.

[newterp]

That's 2 reds against Newcastle for worse fouled than Mac Allister - but given yellow.

[Wghennessy]

No chance.

[Caligula?]

They've won the league 5 of the last 6 times, wake up lad 

[Terry de Niro]

I'd completely forgotten that this match was on.
Ah well..

[Wghennessy]

They've won the league 5 of the last 6 times, wake up lad 

They have but theyve lost quite a few players and a very key one is out for 4 months

[Phineus]

Botman, Guimaraes, Tonali and Isak are all good players … champions league level. All other Newcastle players are just bang average. They had season of their lives last season but did benefit from us and Chelsea been basket cases, conte going off rails etc.

Think they’ll be thoroughly average this season.

[Robinred]

They've won the league 5 of the last 6 times, wake up lad 

It’s the second game if the season and they’re 1-0 up with 15 minutes to play. If you’re so certain, draw out your savings and put them all on City; they’re favourites obviously, but to give up in August? Truly pathetic.
