southampton - scummers traditionally referred to by pompey fans but bournemouth have been calling them it last few years in an attempt to create a rivalry

hijacked...LOL

come on you saddlers!

got mine at 5pm. 5.01 sold out. 10 min walk to the ground for me

the reaction to this advert enraged me so i'm afraid this comment has touched a nerve there are thousands black families in the UK that would've been buzzing to finally be represented in a christmas advert, rather than the same white faces sitting around with their turkeys. have a think, how would you feel if you grew up with pretty much every tv show, film and advert having no positively portrayed white families on it. thats what black people have had to endure. as you mentioned above, it sounds like your views cannot be changed and this isn't the racism thread anyway...i just needed to comment on this and i suggest you just take a second to think about whether it really is a big deal that companies are looking for more diversity in their adverts

i do feel like i'd regret not having an arsenal player in the team in the opening few games. possibly the easiest start in the league. just don't know who. tomyasu is a good shout

Trent, Robbo, Cancelo, James, Perisic, chilwell i wonder how many teams will have a back 5 out of the above 6. mines the same as yours minus robertson but with chilwell instead

think this is where this season's FPL will be won and lost. can see so many having pretty much the same back 5 someone out of son, kane, salah, haaland will have a comparatively shite season and it'll be who makes the decision to leave them out

joint favourite with mordaunt

can't get excited about this. i have met at least 2 staunch tory voters that said they would not vote tory as long as he's there. now he's gone, that's 2 voters they've gotten back. i'm sure there are others similar. yes i'm sure there are some blind followers of boris, but can't imagine that number is especially high

i've lost track of who's left? JRM, dories, raab?

bean juice is definitely a funny one. i like beans, but hate contamination with the rest of the meal. definitely need a separator with the chips on a fry up though? contaminate away...in fact just pour the beans all over everything

gove, patel, shapps and the rest of the cabinet stompin' a mudhole on johnson, raab and dories run down to the ring to help him, only to slap him with a 3D rees-mogg runs off like a scolded dog and leaves the ring in his limo

it would be fine if they were priced correctly. trent and cancelo both scored more points than kane last season...so why is there a 4+ price difference

yep - the pricing of the liverpool and chelsea full backs is the main error it would've been interesting if they'd priced trent at 10.0 for example

just saw he's the same price as kane, who plays southampton first game so looking at kane for GW1 then swap him out

whats everyone's views on haaland? seems like the room is split on social media personally, he's in my team, mainly due to city's opening games. i just dont see a scenario where he doesnt score goals in those early games

i can see there being a cliffhanger ending. fortunately i don't think we'll have long to wait for the new season to start

fair point. had a quick go raya + 4.0 keeper tbd james trent chilwell perisic cancelo luis diaz salah ramsey buendia neto haaland edouard archer

much easier said than done though. the last couple of years have taught us there is really very little need for this thread at all as our transfer business is so hush hush but what else is there to talk about if we don't discuss the speculation, even if we know 99% of it is totally made up it's when people take it too seriously that it gets a bit tedious, getting irate about a player they aren't keen on because some 3rd rate journo has tweeted about it or taking ashley preece's word as gospel

not a lot of villa players caught my eye for their price. buendia for 6.0 maybe. with the 5 subs i doubt there will be many games where he doesn't feature

do people really start doing their teams now?

because we've spent big money and gerrard said he wanted his business done before pre season i think the only way we see new signings is if someone like dougie leaves

ah missed that, soz in which case, sanson definitely staying!

is this a serious theory? do you honestly think the admin are told which players are on the transfer list and therefore not to focus in on them too much? i refer you back to grealish last season. the deal was done but was in plenty of vids and pics
