By Zabojnik Go To PostAllegri sure is looking good.
By Mangoverboard Go To PostWatching the Bundesliga season preview on BT but it seems to be a history of every club instead of squad and tactics analysis like I hoped :(Bayern: Pep doing some crazy shit, only things that are sure: Vidal getting a yellow card, Götze sitting on the bench, Ribery being injured, winning the league
Wolfsburg: Pass it to de Bruyne and hope for the best, Euro League finish
Gladbach: Herrmann is shit again, Euro League finish
Leverkusen: Bellarabi is shit again, CL finish
Augsburg: nobody expects them to do shit, finish on a CL place
Schlacke: "everything is getting better with the new coach", actually, it's worse. Midfield finish
BVB: Dat Tuchel, 2nd place finish
Hoffenheim: Nobody gives a shit, midfield finish
Frankfurt: Veh is back, Meier scoring goals, midfield finish
Bremen: Skripnik being great with a shit squad, midfield finish
Mainz: shit squad, no proper striker, relegation battle
Köln: playing 0-0 half of the time, midfield finish
Hannover: shit squad, shit coach, shit city, relegation
Stuttgart: new coach needs time, Ginzcek scoring lots of goals, midfield finish
Hertha: overpaid squad with overrated players, relegation battle.
HSV: LOL, relegation battle
Ingolstadt: Dat Audi money, low midfield finish
Darmstadt: stadium is a shit hole which will disgust all the sissy professionals, decent home record, terrible away record, relegation
Better than bild themselves could have put it milch

By Laboured Go To PostGod, I'm already feeling bad for Rose and how hard Darmian's going to fucking ream him.
I thought Damien is a bench player?
Did Gaal not say Damien is a bench player?
I left him out in fantasy league for that reason.

He's started every game and been singled out for individual praise every time. He's starting. He even said last week he's settled on Shaw, Blind and Darmian as three of the back four.
Prepare your angus steakhouse.
No way he's a bench player.
Not sure if he'll start since its his first game in the PL.
If we sign Pedro and DeGea stays then the only place I'd really be worried about is CB. Kind of critical lol.

By DBT85 Go To PostPalace have signed Wickham.They have quite a few forwards now.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostThey have quite a few forwards now.
None of them top quality though. Chamakh, Gayle, Campbell, Wickham, Bamford... surprised they didn't cough up an extra 5m and get Austin.
Xbox one is probably not worth it for another year or two. Should bite after a massive price cut plus a much much better library than it currently has. The thing is headed for a library of mediocrity and unless I see a more positive approach and more diversity than I will not go around recommending it to anybody.

Chelsea's run this year will depend entirety on having minimal injuries again. If Azaarrrrr and/or Fabregas get put out for a couple of months it's going to be difficult for them, I think.
If they are all fit all year then I think Chelsea will do it again.
I know the majority of you don't care for comics, but for anyone that might be interested if recommend reading Saga. Just a brilliant space opera. Best series I've read in years.

If they have the same luck with injuries than last year, then yes they have the best first XI in the league (and comfortably the best manager). But think of the amount of kicks Hazard gets; one day; one's gonna put him out of action. They already look pretty blunt without Costa.
It's very fucking silly to predict Arsenal for the title, but they've got such strength in depth in the business end that if they do avoid injuries they can do it.

Everyone likes Swansea but they had a lot of luck last year, defo think they'll be back down around 11th to 14th this season.

I think they've bought well, still have no Europe to distract them... home and away wins over United and Arsenal last season is extremely impressive. May not finish as high as 7th, but I'm not sure who will.
Everton can't defend. West Ham have an unproven manager. Southampton have lost Schneiderlin. Palace lack a top forward. Maybe Stoke, but N'Zonzi is a huge miss.
Southampton will also be interesting with no Schniderlin in the centre, also what's the dealio on Forster? His leg fall off yet?

I was at that game. Sensational. Clev was truly a deserving balon d'Or winner.

Best series I've read in years.Have you read Chew or The Manhattan Projects? They're both a bit more comedic than Saga but they're my two favourite series that I've read recently. Still haven't got the fourth TPB of Saga yet.

Best series I've read in years.It's great. Read the first two TPs. Could easily be adapted for TV/film but Vaughan is dead set against that.

Serie A will be quite interesting because, on paper, Inter and Milan are likely to have more consistent squads this year, but Lazio have resisted selling in hopes of solidifying third. Napoli have also tried to build a more consistent squad but it remains to be seen how Sarri will fare. Roma haven't really done much in the mercato either but if they keep Romagnoli they'll have an improved defense.

Liverpool could finish in the top 4 this time with Benteke, Firmino and Clyne. though if Lovren starts every week then they will be 5th at best
I think Y The Last Man would make a very good TV series. Somewhere like HBO could probably do it justice.
