Gotters Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Weird one this with the seasons so closely stacked, and the grounds still set to be empty. In time honoured tradition though lets have a new thread to discuss all the new issues we've never in any way done to death before. moan about Liverpool and how it really does matter more laugh at OGS who is just a cheerleader and totally out of his depth claim Arsenal are lightweight bottle jobs whine that everybody else dives but our team doesn't (even if you're a Palace fan) pretend its the Wolves thread and talk about Nuno's beard all agree City and their owners are wong un's bemoan financial disparity and use this to justify a teams low excitement tactics wonder who Jose will turn on next as he drags Spurs down to his level nowadays throw in the odd Plymouth reference or Swiss 2nd division team to confuse people who only watch Super Sunday Think that covers things off ? 9 Link to post Share on other sites

SeanR Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 we're back to 3 subs. do we still have drinks breaks? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gotters Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 I suspect the drinks break will go, that was a summer restart thing. Shame as Arteta could make use of those 2 extra team talks to remind Luiz what he was meant to be doing and tell Pepe which way we were kicking. I understand some clubs aversion to the 5 subs, but with the schedule due to be mega packed again there will be a lot more wear and tear injuries, and this will just exacerbate that with players having to play the full 90 more often. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Stopharage Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I’m looking forward to next season. Especially as the Premier League finished at the start of Lockdown and Leicester have Champions’ League football to look forward to. Excite! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
spork Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Has 5 subs been scrapped? I thought they were sticking with it. I've also seen that the English teams still in Europe will get 30 days off before they have to play their first league game meaning if any get to the final they probably won't play in the league for the first couple of weeks of the new season. What about the FA and League cups? Are they still both going ahead as planned or are there some changes being made? It's going to be a bit of a crazy season isn't it?

gospvg Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Where are the fixtures, your broke the cycle @Gotters you can't start a new thread until the fixtures are out. That has jinxed it now, the servers will fail welcome the apocalypse 2 Link to post Share on other sites
dr_manhattan^ Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just to be clear, when we get beat by Olympiakos later, I should complain about VAR and conspiracies in the other thread right? Link to post Share on other sites

The PL is practically La Liga nowadays and teams will be told when they KO and who they're playing a couple of days before. Link to post Share on other sites

Gotters Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Looks like they've 'fixed' offside and VAR for next season. No need for rule changes or anything - they just won't make the process of drawing the lines available to TV, they'll only get the final still demonstrating how the strikers left nut was 1mm past the defenders ear lobe so its clearly offside and no goal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I really want a beard to be offside. With the ridiculousness of the rules I’m sure it’s possible. Who are the premier league’s most bearded players? They bette keep their chin down when through on goal. Link to post Share on other sites

It's going to be a bit of a crazy season isn't it? Still going ahead, starting preliminary rounds 1st Sept, and still the same structure as usual. Dunno about League Cup but can't see why that would be altered or delayed significantly. Link to post Share on other sites
Naysonymous Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Still optimistic about Villa right now. In three weeks we’ll have sold Jack Grealish to Southampton and we’ll be 19th on Xmas day, but I’m happy at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
skadupuk Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Still (always) pessimistic about Palace right now... Unless we buy a significant number of new, talented, younger players it'll be a combined bore and shitfest. Hopefully Zaha's (likely) exit will force the board's hand and we'll be buying some fresh attacking players, that way Hodgson may be motivated to have a more interesting tactic than "pass it to Zaha and he might make something happen" Brighton going down with us (us 2nd bottom, them bottom) is my measure of success this season.

DirkCrisis Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I'm more bullish about Brighton's upcoming season. We finished relatively strongly so I imagine that if we can get someone like Chris Wood (but not him) to replace Murray and link up with Lallana on the six games he plays for us then we can maybe challenge for 13th. Glorious mid table anonymity! Joining the illustrious ranks of Southampton, Everton and Newcastle! Finishing above 15th is my measure of success. Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously a Swiss 2nd Division side or Plymouth Argyle could beat them. Just ask @Gotters Olympiakos look truly terrible. 1-0 Wolves.

neoELITE Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Olympiakos have been all over Wolves for the last 15 minutes. VAR disallowed an equaliser. I don't think this'll end 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites
