So true isn’t it.
Proper Football Man, ain't he?Newcastle are crap.
Steve Bruce is such a turgid manager; he’s got to be a buttock slapping, grand wizard to keep getting these gigs
I’m making the mistake of judging teams after one game. I think I’m wrong. I’ll give it this weekend too. If we beat Man City, we are definitely winning the league!
so with a draw how do you think we will do now
weird since the name change this thread has disappeared off the front page
I’d be pretty keen on Arsenal winning before a Liverpool win. Some early doubt for Liverpool would be great. And I think we’ll be competing more closely with Liverpool than Arsenal this season. Draw would be best though.Chelsea and United dropping points means the weekend went as well as we could've hoped for. Now for next weekend we either want Pool v Arse to be a draw with multiple red cards or for Pool to absolutely annihilate Arse, with multiple red cards.
I know we didn't play great against City but I'm even more optimistic for this season now.
Renamed.Race for the top 4 or race for the title, in my mind, suggests this is a place to talk about the clubs around us as well as us in comparison.
PL Campaign makes it feel more about us game-to-game so naturally there's not as much for people to talk about because that's mostly all covered in the match thread.
Indeed. And if there is one thing I've learnt since being a member of SC, is that posters religiously stick to the thread topic in their discussions...Race for the top 4 or race for the title, in my mind, suggests this is a place to talk about the clubs around us as well as us in comparison.

Not sure why it was changed, it's killed the thread, I think we either have race for top 4 or race for the title.
Yup, it isn't one or the other, top 4 or title. Over the course of the season it'll be changing all the time. If Eriksen stays and finds decent form, and Ndombele and Lo Celso settle in really well, I think we have an outside chance of challenging for the title. If say 2 of those 3 DON'T happen, we could well be in a dogfight for 4th.It should be spurs premier league race 19/20. Then it would never need changing, whatever happens and we wouldn't have pages of discussion about whether we should change the title or not.

Hope to god you're right of course - or that we do better than that ?. But on top of the Eriksen issue and the question of how TN and GLC bed in, our back 4 is a ways off peak Walker, Toby, Jan, Danny circa 2016. I guess we're favourites for 3rd but a lot would have to go right for us (and wrong for City and Pool) for us to do better than that. And if things click for Arse and MU, they could definitely challenge us for 3rd.We lost 13 games last season, I don't see us doing that again, I think we'll be fine for top 4. I honestly think we'll get 2nd and be a lot closer to city.
