Welcome to #lcfc, @DennisPraet

Will give my shot also but will try to go bit mad and bold.

Poch has worked some kind of master plan and last year of Toby and Eriksen they will smash the club into PL title. Like last year going in point by point with City and Pool. I think teams know how to play agaisnt city and Pool thus the point cealing wont be so high like last season. And in the end Spurs will take it home. (dont laugh)

1.Spurs
2.City
3.Pool
4.Arsenal

Now comes the tricky part. I really would think Leichester would push high top 4 but they did not replace Maguieri and think their defense is shaky but they will be scoring goals left and right. Also think we will see the biggest fall of a giant - United or Chelsea. One of them will drop out from Europa League even and have crash season - my bet is more on United as Chelsea has more experience on the team to carry out games.

5. Chelsea
6. Wolves
7-9.United Leichester and West Ham(would but them higher but that defense... Attack can be amazing with Haller leading the line, think they might be suprise team noone is expecting. Pellegrini second season in charge and he will do some magic. Haller, Anderson, Yarmalenko and Lanzini/Fornals is spicy.

Relegation:

Newcastle
Norwich
Palace

First Sacking - Palace or Newcastle

New singings to watch:
Haller - Big 1.9m guy, strong, not selfish and makes good passing/movement to others, but has good finishing - 15g/15a
Ndombélé - Will dominate the midfield and help to make PL title push.
Pulisic - will fill the void Hazard left.

Youngsters to shine this season:
Dwight McNeil from Burnley - he made Burnley tick last second half of the season and will help them against relegation this year - 5g/13a
Martial

Biggest dissapointment/let down of the season:
Robertson from Pool
Rashford
Zaha
 
1. City
2.Pool
3. Utd
4. Spurs
5. Arsenal
6. Wolves
7. Chelsea

Relegation. Newcastle, Norwich, Palace

Flops. Lo Celso, Pepe, Pulisic
Top buys. AWB, Rodri, Ndombele
 
I envy the lower leagues who don’t have VAR.

Ruining the game.
I assume you saw the Sterling/Jesus offside call. How the **** is that offside call advantageous, I mean what advantage did Sterling have in that situation what was it I think maybe 2mm or his armpit was offside lol. I've said it before but I think VAR should be used only for absolute howlers or in this case overturn a goal in the offside position only it the position clearly assists the player in getting the goal. This decision goes against the reason the offside rule was created as no advantage was gained from his positioning.

I think my views as a match-going supporter are quite clear on the continued VAR carnage that's all geared toward the TV audience but yeah, that absolute joke of an outcome was the main crux of that post.

Clear and obvious. Which that wasn’t.

Deciding where an arm ends and a shoulder begins, with an armpit classed as offside is an embarrassing joke for the game. You’d be hard pressed to find many football fans that would have any issues with that goal.

I naturally don’t want City to have any advantage but if that’s the outcome the games heading down a real bad path.
 
Huhh, lost good ton of post history but at least the site is back up. For more info see here guys.


Sad thing is that I was on vacation and did not check so much back here and hoped some good reading at work to be done about Mou and
 
Glorius goals.

Maybe we could make some poll or voting of best/worst/overhyped PL players/teams of the decade?
