I found the correct channel! I have Sunderland at Arsenal, Liverpool at West Bromwich, and Norwich City at Fulham ready to record. I am going to watch Sunderland at Arsenal live~

There are actually more Scottish coaches than English coaches in the Premier League at the moment, so I don't think its been forgotten as such!

If you're interested in the evolution of tactics try giving 'Inverting the Pyramid' a read.

Bring back Obertan!

No seriously, i dont think we will buy another winger even if Nani goes.

1) we are broke and have already overspent
2) I think we are leaving out our over reliance on the wingers for this season and opting for wide midfielders
3)If that is the case we have young, Val, Roo, kaggy,Wellbz and giggs who all can be competent as wide attacking midfielder.

Sounds good, I appreciate you taking the effort to give the sport a look.

If you fancy watching creative attacking football laced with tactical discipline, I suggest you watch Liverpool.

I'm hoping we see little of Giggs this year.

I wouldn't go as far to say we're broke, we've got funds to sign one more big player should the need arise, and if Nani was to go we'd easily be able to bring someone in.

Fantasy team is done. Very satisfied, now. Had to give someone the axe that I didn't want to, but my team improves massively because of it. Sorry, Sergio. You'll be back later, I'm sure. <3

I axed Bale.

Brought in Yaya and I fancy Newcastle to keep a clean sheet.

I'm calling this now...RVP to be injured before round 10. Will miss at least 5 games and will not score more than 10 goals the whole season.

It sucks how few live matches are on over here. The only 3 o'clock match on TV in Ireland is West Brom vs Liverpool. There aren't any 3 o'clock games on in the UK, right?

Damn, the 'less important' PL matches are shown on a channel I don't have. Damn you, Sportklub+! I'll have to upgrade my subscription if I want to avoid watching Newcastle via streaming.

I don't plan on banking on clean sheets this year. Too many goals were scored last season in the PL, and with few exceptions, it was hard to predict what teams would keep a solid defensive record.

This year I'm going with cheap goalkeepers and I'm going to just rotate Home/Away with my defenders, and have one stalwart that plays every week, either Vidic or Kompany.

Also, axing Bale is crazy talk. He's going to be one of the top scoring midfielders this year, and Spurs don't have any strikers so he's going to be scoring their goals for the first few weeks. I expect him to average 8+ points per game, at least until Adebayor signs.

Van Persie starts press conf by thanking Arsene Wenger and Arsenal players, fans, staff for "all their help"

"From my side and Arsenal's side, there is no hard feeling. No one is angry with me and I'm not angry with them"

His move reminds me of Ba's move to West Ham. I know what he's trying to do :p

I bet Nani signs. I know he said there's football outside Spain or England, but it's too early in his career to move solely for money and risk a step down in pedigree. Fergie maybe doesn't think as highly of Nani's reliability as he himself does, but if the Welbeck renewal is any indication, he'll definitely get 100k+ per week. He's likely trying to eke out as close to 150k as possible and the club is probably being mindful of the wage hierarchy.

Seville are offering us Negredo for 20m :/

Completely agree.

30M€. 10M€ goes out of Javi's salary, which is another way of saying "don't worry, you'll get a raise to compensate for that 10M€ soon enough, but for now let's pretend you're basically paying to play for Bayern."

Rumour: Mino Raiola could soon become Claudio Marchisio's agent.

You needed a midfielder United?

No worries, Marchisio will stay at Juventus forever!
