    Tragically Bad Prognostication, Once Again: 23-24 PL Predictions Thread

    Back for more punishment after picking Liverpool to win the league last year. Contenders 1. Arsenal - Rationally you'd be a fool not to pick City but what fun is that? 2. City - They have to fall off some year...maybe? 3. United - Impressive work by ETH but I think still a year away from truly...

    Arsenal 23-24: Watch this Space

    After a surprisingly wonderful 22-23 season, Arsenal find themselves in the very unfamiliar position of actually being quite good. But one great year with a point total in the mid 80s doesn't guarantee further progression (see, for example, Arsenal 07-08, Liverpool 08-09 or 13-14, Tottenham...

    Huge weekend of matches in the PL, starting with the Manchester Derby in a few minutes.

    Game week 10/22-24

    Liverpool with half their squad injured versus Forest is a bit of a snooze fest so far.

    Serie A: Anybody's League?

    I'm not the league's biggest watcher but its fascinating to me that during a time period in which most big leagues have become dominated by 1-2 sides, Serie A is currently going in the opposite direction. Nine weeks into the season, none of Juve, Milan, or Inter (collectively owners of the last...

    MW 9/16-9/18

    PL football will be back. Don't ask me why the fuck they can hold games in London like Brentford-Arsenal and Spurs-Leicester but not matches in Manchester like United-Leeds, especially when the supposed policing shortage is London-based.

    Looking into the Crystal Football: PL Season Predictions 22-23

    Yes, the transfer window is still open but its time to get your predictions in anyway. Golden boot - Erling Haaland POTY - Harry Kane YPOTY - Bukayo Saka Manager of the Year - Patrick Vieira Established juggernauts 1. Liverpool - Can the 30+ spine stay healthy over a long grueling season? If...

    Arsenal 22-23: Time to Deliver the Goods

    After an encouraging season that ended in disappointing fashion, Arsenal enter a very important summer, what the Kroenkes and club brass have long described as the second stage of a phased rebuild. My view from 20,000 feet is the following: The club went through a complete dumpster fire period...

    The Arms (Errr, Legs) Race: 2022 Summer Transfer Window

    I expect a number of top clubs to have big summers as Covid effects recede. It begins with Erling Haaland. View: https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1524034164835639297

    Bosmania? The 2022 Winter Transfer Window Thread

    The winter window is typically a time for rumor sites and Twitter nerds to run wild, with very few actual deals occurring. That'll probably stay largely true this season, but with a twist. Summer 2022 will see by far the biggest and best class of players leaving on free transfers in the modern...

    Match Week Four

    Snoozer at Selhurst so far. Spurs’ front line depth is pretty shit. It’s strange they didn’t replace either Bale or Vinicius.

    Euro 2021 Day 1 Game Thread: Italy v. Turkey

    Let's get it on. Italy are flying a bit under the radar. They won every match in qualifying, have some great young talent in midfield, and the veteran Bonucci/Chielini pairing in central defense. Attack looks pretty weak but if Immobile can find a little form and stick a few in the net, I can...

    Arsenal 21-22: Brexit FC

    Supporting Arsenal these days requires you to constantly hold two (or more) thoughts in your head at the same time. It was a terrible, terrible season from a results standpoint and that simply needs to be centered in any discussion. But we were 2nd in the table from Matchweek 15 onward...

    Gameweek 32

    We’re back to the phase of the Mourinho cycle where he responds to conceding too many goals by putting out horribly defensive teams that are usually awful to watch. But Everton seem pretty undermanned due to injuries, especially in attack. I'm not sure that I've ever heard of anybody on...

    Limping to the Finish Line? Football and Load Management

    In most American sports, there has been considerable research and an evolving conventional wisdom about seasonal load management for players. Pitchers no longer throw 250+ innings in a season, few basketball players will crack 3000 regular season minutes anymore, it seems more common for NFL...

    Arsenal 20-21: Artetenal and/or Kia Joorabchian Futebol Clube

    Lots of big questions going into the new season: To what degree will Kroenke back Arteta in the transfer market? Will we sign every available Joorabchian client or just half of the available Joorabchian clients? Even if Arsenal do most things right and continue to improve, can they compete...

    Premier League Predictions

    What's everybody got? Time to go on record... Champions 1. Man City - They'll be run closer by Liverpool and Chelsea but depth sets them apart. Repeating is hard and hasn't been done for a while but a title winning squad hasn't been this far ahead of its challengers going into a new season...

    When the Falcons Have the Ball...

    Lets make some separate threads for different aspects of the matchup. What do you see the Patriots trying to do to contain Matt Ryan and the Falcons offense? Just to kick things off, other than stopping Julio Jones, I think one of the biggest challenges will be handling their RBs in the...

    Bizarre Gmail Issue

    A few hours ago I looked at my phone and it tells me I have over 46,000 unread messages in Gmail. I figure it might be something up with the phone itself but when I logged into my desktop, sure enough everything in my entire Inbox has been suddenly marked as unread. First question: What the...
