Other Games 22/23

[toonotl 2978]

Probably the perfect draw. Home game. Against relegation fodder so they will probably rest players. And City v Liverpool eliminates one of the favourites from the competition. Wonderful.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13863]

We play that friendly a few days beforehand as well so the players should be fresh and ready. Depending on how badly England shit the bed, you could have had Trippier, Pope and Wilson back for a couple of weeks at that point too

Man U getting Leicester would have been the perfect draw, but obviously we can't grumble. Leicester have started to pick up a bit of form and stilll have some dangerous players, and Man U are obviously up and down as often as some of your mams on here 😉, but again have some very dangerous players on their day. The only thing about the Man U draw is that Kompany will be desperate to get one over Man U, so they might cause an upset.

6/1 on a club that hasn't won anything since 1969? Really generous odds that, mind.

Apart from Liverpool/City, we are the only PL club who managed to draw another PL team

And Bournemouth.

Eh? Final’s on the 18th so games will be 20th/21st.
 

Not that England will be in the final mind so it’s a moot point.

If you think about summer tournaments the players involved are very rarely available for the first game of the season regardless of how much they’ve played. But as you say if England can’t get out of a group involving Iran, USA & Wales… 

[MrBass 2651]

I think you're over estimating Wilson's and Pope's involvement. 

 

That said, I completely glossed over the fact we have players from other countries! 🤦‍♂️ so I guess we could feasibly be without Trippier, Bruno, Botman or Schar.  All of which would most likely have started on the bench for this one anyway (well maybe not Botman).

Man City one down at home v Brentford. The title chase is ON. 

[Gemmill 44851]

I fancy some of the "Big 6" spunkrods to drop points this weekend. 

 

Spurs

Liverpool

Man United 

 

All on the watch list.

 

Goes without saying that Chelsea will be dropping points. 

[Gemmill 44851]

Man City hoying themselves all over trying to get penalties. They can feel Eddie's Sensations breathing down their necks. 

[Tom 14011]

Beating Brentford at home isn't for everybody.

[Dougle 3329]

10 mins extra time at Man C

Toney giving his old team a hand, you love to see it

[Gemmill 44851]

Close the gap on these clowns tonight.

We could be within 2 points of Man City by the time I'm eating my fucking dessert tonight.

Obviously but he's had a great season so far compared to Raheem Sterling.
