The Premier League - 2021-2022

I find international tournaments a bit like holidays, great while they’re going on and really depressing once they end, much like holidays they don’t come around all that often. I’d echo that I don’t watch England until they’re at a tournament, but our run to the final only helped to heighten the enjoyment and increase the depression.

I care far more for Watford, but the chance to win something is few and far between and it’s not really about that in the main. I would of course much prefer we got promoted over winning the Euros, but they’re different feelings. Missing out on promotion would’ve been disappointing because of not getting promoted, the actual game would’ve been incidental. Losing the Euros was like missing out on a feeling, the actual trophy would’ve been meaningless but the whole country would’ve gone potty.

 

Presumably from the start of the season we’re going back to 7 players on the bench and 3 subs allowed?

 

The five subs rule remains, I presuming that means you can name nine subs still.

 

My mistake, the PL were the only league to keep the three subs rule but allowed nine on the bench.

 

5 subs benefits teams with strong squads so in the prem 3 subs is probably better for us.

 

Kate Middleton bagged a prince but this lucky lady just married a King

 

When does the squad have to be announced?
I assume that the rules are the same - 25man squad with seven (?) home grown plus under 21s.

If we don't name 25 players on the given date can we add players later? If we list 24, when a player has a serious injury we can draft in someone who plays in that position. Or, better still, Bale isn't included in Real Madrid's squad and they pay him off and cancel his contract. We then sign him and add him to the squad.

 

I assume you change the 25-man squad list until the end of the window, so 2 or 3 game weeks into the season.

 

No wonder hes always got a smile on his face.

 

A Premier League player has been arrested on suspicion of child sex offences https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57899127

 

It will just be nice to have a little break from the weekly thrashings this season.

 

All over twitter who it allegedly is. Poor bloke if not guilty though as looks like fans have made mind up

 

I would not be surprised if it turns out to be some 15 year old girl who claimed to be older and looks about 20 or so, which would mean the guy did not realise how young she was.

Hopefully it is something like that and not real kiddie paedophile stuff, but just an honest mistake by the player.

 

You are Gary Puckett and I claim my £5.

 

Ah yes. The classic poor, innocent, lovely bloke, who (allegedly!) makes an honest mistake by accidentally cheating on his wife with a child.

A tale as old as time.

 

Blimey, what a post.

 

Please, please, stop.

I know I take the piss out of you for being a daft old duffer, but seriously, in good faith, stop.

Edit: mods, to enable VoR to reflect a bit, you should delete his and any quote posts including this.

In the meantime, VoR if you read this, consider that the girls groomed by the Rochdale gangs also probably looked over 16.

 

It's not ok on any level

 

Even if he knew she were 20, that would be weird, let alone some random youngster who could have been any age...

 

I'll wait until everything comes out before I definitely call him a 'poor bloke'

 

“Voice of reason”

 

Just wait until we lose our first few games, attendances should settle around the 15k mark.

 

Why would we want to get around this?

 

There are 'star****ers' at all levels of football.
They are just waiting and hoping that they relationship or affair turns in to money and then more money.
None of us have any idea what has happened in this case or if it is true. Just wait and see.
The name of the player is free to access here.

 

Careful. He'll be demanding an apology in a moment.

 

Yes, unwittingly texting a 15 year old isnt exactly Jimmy Saville territory.

 

Using my extensive football knowledge and expert analytical skills I've come up with a formation for next season based on our current squad:

BACHMANN

SIERRALTA

HUGHES LOUZA

SARR QUINA CUCHO SEMA

DENNIS PEDRO

KING

The much revered 1-2-4-2-1 formation. You know it makes sense Xisco. Admittedly we'd lose every game but it'd be edge of the seat stuff.

 

Sierralta is all we need. With 2 holders in front of him, he would only concede 10 goals a season: all away at Man Citeh.

 

Unfortunately we still go down with 37 points
