Honestly I'd happily see Rovers come back up for the derby, I think Ayr United will be the team to beat though.

He's our only legit backup in 2 positions, and in 1 of them the player who is first choice has become injury prone.
Its far too late in the window to sell him with that in mind, he'd have to be replaced within a week.
I think he can develop into a top player, he's only 23 and can play full back and CB. Klopp seem pretty sure he'll sign a new contract. There's no guarantee £34 million would get us as good a player in this market now. If he did leave we'd have to buy two CM this month and we're struggling to get signings in as it is.
Consistently good Hitch
And that March to May gave quite a few nail biting performances too!
Can is a great back up and I doubt we'd be able to easily replace him, if he left it would probably hurt the squad overall.
Ancelotti lost all pre season matches in 2002/2003. He won the CL.
Liverpool would already have him if they hadn't fucked around.

They'll begin the season with a loss to my Boro today. Us and Villa should clinch automatic promotion. Mackems to suffer another relegation, hopefully.

Looked old, slow and leggy against Liverpool and I'm not convinced about some of the younger imports like Sanches
Surprised that there's healthy sized toongaf
25 BBC journalists were asked to predict the Championship table and the averages taken.
Middlesborough and Fulham to get promoted, Burton bottom

I don't think Villa are going to anywhere near that well.

Awesome OP
Today let's see if my club manages to win the Supercup from Benfica. I'll be there rooting for them, hope it goes well.
20h45 today, same timezone as the UK if anyone is interested.
That Vitória SC crest is easily one of my favourites.

Reading at the edges of playoffs feels about right, unfortunately. We lost some good talent over the summer. Hope Jaap does well enough to stay on though.
First match for us is QPR.

You should use streams anyway as Sky can't show every match. The incentives really aren't there to go legit.

Aye that 3PM rule is so moronic, even Klopp called it out on it's bullshit
Only thing I miss is Sky Sports News/Soccer Saturday

It's also one of those that's very meaningful for the people in the city as it has the 1st King of Portugal and patron of the City drawn on it. Don't think it'll change anytime soon hehe
It's incredibly archaic yeah. I can't afford to go to every match and even if I could the only way I can get away tickets is through my supporter's group once in a blue moon. If I could subscribe to get legitimate 4K streams at a reasonable price for just my team I would because I hate having to use streaming websites.
Lashley

Same, there's a massive market they're not capitalising on.
I think it was 90m last season who streamed PL matches, but who can blame them when none of the 3PM matches are available in the UK by legal means?

Just go to the pub, mate. I'm sure there's plenty of blokes spouting absolute shite about football there. And at least with the drunks you'll get coherent sentences out of them.
Lashley

That's the excuse, aye.
Showing the 3PM matches makes zero difference, it never affected the attendances when they used to show it
I saw this coming. This happens all the time.

For some reason that reminds me of this years Fiorentina away kits:
Each colour represents the different teams of calcio storico (historical football).

Congratulations to Celtic for winning the 2017/2018 SPL title today.

Or Leigh Griffiths, hell or Scott Brown

Griffiths had a spell at Wolves. Didn't do particularly well.
Leigh Griffiths had a serious attitude problem when he was in England, I've always had a soft spot for him though and would like to see him get a chance in the PL.
Scott Brown's too old to get a chance now.

I saw that a few weeks ago, it's pretty awesome! Both the actual calcio storico and the fact that the club went out of it's way to make sure everyone gets a shirt in their own colours.

...and Danny Drinkwater? what
He still got one
it really is
Reschke's gone too.
although, I'm still not sure if this really a bad thing considering beantia, costa, sanches and kurt were all his transfers :|
