Yeah, it's gonna be a great season hopefully. Honestly, I've been a bit disappointed with the quality of the Premier League in recent years, the Top 5 don't perform as well they use to and are not as consistent anymore. I guess that could be put down to the smaller teams having more money to spend on players nowadays. But it's been a long time when we've had a season where all the Top Teams have been firing on all cylinders. Last season, none of the top teams except Tottenham performed well and that's why Leicester ended up winning the title. Now that we have managerial talents such as Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp, Conte, Wenger, Pochetino and Ranieri gracing the league next season, the quality of the teams should hopefully improve. I want to see the top teams at their best. And yes, I can't wait for the Two Best Managers to renew their rivalry in Manchester. I was half expecting our first game of the season to be at Chelsea after Mourinho's arrival at United. We all know the Premier League fixture list is not randomly generated as the FA claim it is.

I think the list is generated fairly but then the likes of Sky and BT, who obviously own the PL, get their say... Hence putting all the best games as and where they like... Not mentioning moving the games to different days just for TV...

On my new found Kodi I just re-watched Blue Moon Rising... Loved every minute of it... Especially Teves scoring against Man U late on...
Welcome To Manchester...

Not mentioning moving the games to different days just for TV... Yes, I believe you're right. Ever since they stopped showing football on free-to-air TV, the likes of Sky have been meddling incessantly with the fixture list and changing the football calendar to make it suit them. I HATE when they show games on Sunday, especially big games like United vs Shity or Loserpool. Who the hell wants to watch on a Sunday? How am I meant to celebrate my team beating Shity on a Sunday when I have to go to work the next day? It's just not right.

Same here... But there isn't many celebratory reasons for you to miss work these days TK surely... Unless of course you have a shot every time Shrek misses the goal...

Lol. Yes, but we still have exciting talents like Martial and Rashford up front to score our goals, Chaz. And we'll probably be adding Ibrahimovic or Morata to our ranks too. I think Shrek is going to play in midfield from now on, so long as Maureen don't play him up front. I don't get why managers have such difficulty in dropping him - he is past his best. He must've been blackmailing Van Gaal and Roy Hodgson...

Optimist I may be but I'm afraid to say that I don't envisage QPR picking up any major silverware this season.

I think Leicester, in all honesty will struggle this season... It was beginners luck and the curse of the PL trophy in the cabinet looms...

I can certainly see Leyton Orient having a cracking season.

I can certainly see Leyton Orient having a cracking season. I see that the O's are in the same league as Uncle Q's beloved Newport... I wonder if Uncle Q will "call" in on you when he makes a trip to watch his boys play at your ground JB...?
You could take him for a pint of Strongbow in your local... Show him the sights...

Pep is a great manager, love his ideals on footy and how it should be played Chas. You've got yourself a good 'un there, although how he'll find the rough and tumble of the Prem where a Watford can beat a giant is yet to be seen. But Shitcoat one of "the best two managers" ?? Do me a favour. Maureen only takes jobs where he has an open cheque book. Never develops youth, never plays attacking football, never assembles a proper scouting team, and he takes snide to a whole new level because that's all he has in his locker. He's fast being found out too, his longevity at a club never stretches beyond three years. Year one, wins a trophy or a title, due to being able to out-buy anybody else. Year two, the infighting begins, usually drags the team to respectability and perhaps a League Cup having blown north of £500m. Year three, total carnage. His nemesis Wenger is thrice the manager he'll ever be. And certainly thrice the man.

I'm dreading the new season.
My lads only stayed in the League last year due to two other clubs being even worse than we were. Any other season, we'd have gone down with our points total. We won't get so lucky this time around.
Mind you we were totally robbed at Leyton Orient by that late penalty. If that was a pen then I'll eat my hat. So God help me the next time I meet an O's fan, I won't be responsible for my ruddy actions. Cheating my lads out of a point like that.
Still smarting from it.
Had some really good away trips last season. It's nice for the rest of the UK to meet us chaps from Newport, it's a treat for them. I remember getting thrown out of that pub in Cambridge for stripping from the waist down. I only wanted to show the guys my "lucky" granny bloomers that I always wear to the match. How was I to know that I'd forgotten to put them on and had inadvertently gone commando??
I recall too that pub at Notts County in the cattle market, where they had bars on the windows and sawdust on the floor. I removed my watch whilst walking in, as I knew I'd be fighting my way out of there after a few Speckled Hens.
I had a very nice trip to Barnet in the cup, and remember thinking what a nice, affluent, North London area it was. Then I learned after that Mo Mouse lived there, how wrong can you be eh?
Also ran for my life at Wolves through their famous subway, got pelted by coins at Pompey and came away £1.53p richer by grabbing them up whilst everybody more sensible sprinted through the alley, and got thrown out at Yeovil for being drunk & disorderly.
Roll on 2016/17!!

Yes all the fat drunken oafs will be back in training soon. One I recall used to put on 3 stone in weight over the summer holiday then have to go on a starvation diet to be able to run again in training! This was back in the day before colonic irrigation lol
