Luton won't win the league - Premier League 2023/24

This is getting rather ridiculous now

🚨 Romeo Lavia has chosen to join Chelsea from Southampton. Liverpool were pursuing but are aware of decision. #CFC & #SaintsFC have good relations, so no issues expected on deal or personal terms. Fee likely to be around £50m + add-ons @TheAthleticFC #LFC https://t.co/EjmFknCViS

fucks sake

Lol was just talking about this - I assume FFP doesn't apply to Chelsea

who does it apply to at this point?

lol i can think of one team it does

cough

good luck tonight obvs

cough

I'm cautiously optimistic about the season at the moment which if you're not before you've played a game then things really are grim

gonna enjoy watching this while working.

"cautiously optimistic" might be a little strong but I don't think things are as bad as our pessimists are painting it

not until there's evidence, anyway

starting with, I guess, Cunha as a hypothetical number 9 is not a statement of bold intent

hope Kalajdzic stays in one piece this year

Mason Mount sounds like the name of a hipster folk band

enjoying the pace of this one

Utd absolutely abysmal so far. Van Gaal vibes

so close Sarabia

damn it boys you learned last year that missing these opps comes back to bite you later. so close again

Good effort, good energy, no striker

Ditto for Utd. Apart from the first and second part

think Kalajdzic will be a super sub?

he ain't 90 minute ready but maybe could fire one on target in a 20 minute appearance

Cunha leads the league in almost goals

Enjoying Wolves' gameplan of simply running at Utd

please just find a forehead here.

jfc. i don't know where the goal is gonna come from at this point.

Cunha's had a helluva match otherwise

like we didn't see that coming.

hey look, Fabio Silva actually taking shots that have some velocity in the direction of goal.

Kalajdzic! the giant

pitch invader in a promising attacking position. thanks dick.

this should be a pen

which means it won't be probably

jobbed again.

Blatant peno

as much as they should be, those are never given

That was decent but about what I expected, away at Old Trafford is a free hit, time to worry is when you go on a run of brave battling beatings

anyway, I would LOVE to know what these cunts do on the training pitch because it's looking like another season of them playing like they've been introduced minutes before kick-off

gonna take some absolute hammerings again with this midfield set-up too

Our middle 3 bossed your middle 3 for most of it, yeab

Didn't look a pen to me btw, it was off his head and away before Onana hit him

I think Onana fouled the bloke who didn't head it. Maybe still a foul idk

I've just got those "didn't work him, didn't earn it" blues

very very hard to care about this league any more between ffp meaning nothing, oil money collections of brilliant players playing boring football and var giving united the old daytona catch up boost of ten points a season

we will welcome you into the high stakes hard charging world of the usl championship

i have failed the language test multiple times alas

and proudly

olise to chelsea. they won't stop till they've got em all.

Wonder if they wanna spend £30m on Elneny

Already got another xp

Roméo Lavia to Chelsea, here we go! Deal agreed between clubs on final fee short of £60m add-ons included — structure also agreed 🚨🔵🇧🇪

Lavia will undergo medical tests this week, just informed by clubs that the agreement has been reached.

Exc:
🚨 Man United chief executive Richard Arnold told the club’s executive leadership team in first week of August that the club planned to bring back Mason Greenwood. The club then aborted scheduled announcement for August 4. Details @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ZpGvoH0zTv

yeah, fuck this club

NEW @TheAthleticFC

🚨Manchester United’s plan to bring back Mason Greenwood included listing football pundits, politicians & journalists and categorising if they would be hostile or supportive. Domestic violence charities were assumed “hostile” https://t.co/p78gQ5wKto

i dont want to make this a club v club issue because fuck knows what club would definitely behave any differently but jesus christ this is incredible own goal stuff isnt it

i guess we'll need a new thread soon, but i'll leave my RIP Neto tribute in this one

Noooooooo

Hopefully this means they're planning to land another whale in the transfer window :(

Miss you already Pedro

tbh he was the best option to sell for the money and two months ago i'd've expected this. shame he's opted to throw his career away but hey

fuckin chelsea fuckin city

genuinely league destroying cunts, and the fa useless cunts

spend all that money to finish 6th

Hopefully.

that Leicester miracle season gets harder to harder to believe the further we get away from it. hell, hard for me to picture anybody winning hte league with just 81 points anymore in this era of disparity.

well its even weirder when you remember 21 of those points were the last several teams lying down in front of them to stop spurs winning it

when does 2025/6 kick off

don't know if i've ever bothered to watch a Charity Shield game as an adult

anyway somebody needs to start the new thread, i'm useless at titles so it won't be me

oh im watching spurs

lol i did wonder but couldn't be bothered to google

friendlies are meaningless obv

Aston Villa won't win the league - Premier League 2024/25

Forgive the lack of consultation re: title but as an insufferable fan of a top 4 moneyball club I have taken the liberty. I wouldn't want to die without knowing what luxury is

consultation has no place in the Prem so i'm fine with this

with city winning it again its morelike cuntstultification amirite
