OK, so now we know pretty much who's going to be at each club and have seen the first 3 PL games, anyone care to revise their predictions for the League?

I think it'll be something like:

1) Man City

2) Chavski

3) Scum Utd

4) The Arses

5), 6), 7), 😎, 9) - in any order: Sperms, Liverpool, West Ham, Everton, Stoke

 

It's utterly baffling that Klopp hasn't signed a competent left back, preferring to use [the right-footed midfielder] James Milner there (because Moreno is a walking brainfart). Nearly as daft is not signing a deep-lying midfielder; we've been crying out for one ever since Mascherano left.

 

 

Bearing in mind we look like signing Sissoko, I think we'll finish 10th.

When I calm down - and decide where I'm going to do it - I will also be going on a killing spree

Little hiccup for Jack Wilshere on his way to Bournemouth earlier this evening, in case you're wondering what's taking him so long to sign...

If (big IF) Wilshere manages to stay fit this could be the deal of the window.

You don't rate him, then? Thirty million quid, too...

Still, Levy stiffing our neighbours (apparently, deal was agreed between Everton & Newcastle and personal terms sorted, then Sissoko turned his phone off and next thing the Bitters know, it's being reported that Sissoko is signing for you Sperms )

Prior to Euro 2016 he probably would have gone for £20m - again too high.

Ashley has well and truly pulled Levy's pants down (ew.....what a thought) over this deal.

Well it makes a change from Levy pulling Liverpool's pants down (although Ashley has also 'seen us coming' a couple of times - and Wijnaldum is still to show anything decent in a Liverpool shirt)

Hmmm, I think I may need to revise my opinion regarding Ashley pulling Levy's pants down.

I can almost predict what's going to happen next i.e. Sissoko is shipped out after a couple of years - and at a profit.

Alternatively, Spurs could sell Sissoko to Everton in January and pay Newcastle nothing.

It's really not going to be as simple as that, Merc.

At £6m/year, if you sell him for £20m after a year, Sperms won't just have to pay Newcastle the £6m and be able to pocket the rest.

Indeed, I edited my original post to make the point that we could sell him to Everton in January. All pure profit.

No wonder the Newcastle website said the fee was undisclosed. There's a bloody good reason for that.

A shrewd move by EH and could mean the difference between us staying up and going back to the championship, IF Wilshire can stay fit for more than a handful of games!! Mind you he will train harder than ever before as EH trains the players like sas soldiers.

On another note I don`t get why Liverpool didn`t go for Joe Hart?? Surley Klopp can see what a liability Mingolet is.A real opportunity missed there!

The phrase "out of the frying pan and into the fire" would apply for any replacement involving Hart. His temperament is shot.

We've already signed a keeper called Loris Karius, considered one of the best young (23) keepers in Germany and first choice for Mainz. Klopp knows the guy.

I also think Hart is a great keeper, and undeserving of the criticism he's has from what look now to be bandwagon-jumpers. I do, however, think he needs to refocus, perhaps because he fell for the glamour of being at plastic, moneybags club Citeh. Good move from him to go to Torino; gets him out of the glare of the PL. I think the whole episode will be the slap round the chops he needed.

Having watched nigh on 40 mins of the Manchester derby, really struggling to pick out a single Utd player who can condone their own performance. It guts me to say it, but City are at least twice the team Utd are right now.......

Half time requires changes from Utd. Replace Mkhitaryan, Lingard and Rooney. 

New City keeper having a nightmare. Hart must be chuckling to himself!

You won't see a better 'assist' this season than the one provided by Lucas in the first half of the Dippers - Lester game.

Absolutely brilliant.

Very fortunate for Wenger today

Excellent win for Spuds

Manchester Derby was a good watch....................really not sure about the City keeper, he could prove costly

Totally agree, obviously PEP sees him each day but for 90 minutes he didn't impress anyone id think

Apart from the first 15 minutes (when we were under the cosh) I can't remember the last time we had to put in so little effort for a game. It was an absolute hammering and more like a training session.
