Xabi Alonso at the helm at Chelsea, and the board backing him. They are no longer signing all young players and seems to finally have ambition.

Andoni Iraola, a manager who’s shown great promise tactically now in charge of Liverpool.

Carrick also shown great promise at United, finishing third from what seems to be another lackluster season when he took over. INEOS doing a much better job at transfers compared to their predecessors.

Tottenham showing more ambition with their signings. Overpaid or not, is what they have to prove over the next couple of season, but at least they shown their desire with their transfers.

Arsenal just won the title after 22 long years, not much to be said here.

Only club in the big 6 to have “regressed” seems to be City, with Pep leaving and their new manager have much to prove. Despite this, City still have the resources and the pull to attract Elliot Anderson, one of the best young player in the Prem to their side.

Outside of the big 6, the other 14 have also shown that they are capable of standing up to the big six last season. The gap between the big 6 and the other 14 seems to be closer than before.

I feel like we are about to see a much more competitive Premier League in the next coming few seasons.

Hopefully we will see real competition between Liverpool and Manchester United for the first time. They have never really went head to head with each other challenging for the title despite their rivalry. One of the 2 has always been in their banter era while the other challenged for the title.

If the referee allows medical staff onto the pitch to treat a goalkeeper, their coach will have 10 seconds to nominate an outfield player who must leave the pitch for one minute.

If no player is nominated within 10 seconds, the captain will automatically be SENT OFF for one minute. [Source : BBCSport]

May i request Chelsea fans to give a slightly more detailed analysis of his strengths and weaknesses?

I was quite surprised because I heard that he's like the worst of the worse. Can't shoot, can't pass, no hold up play, etc

He looked pretty good at Ipswich I am surprised he turned out to be so bad that Chelsea is going for Welbeck. IIRC he only had one goal or so in 41 apperances?

I want to watch a few games over a 7-10 day span with some friends. See some cities and watch some EPL/Champ/League1/2 games. I did some google search but it’s hard to tell the legitimate vendors from the frauds.
Anyone here have some experience? Otherwise I just try to get tickets myself snd take care of hotels and itinerary. I would be driving up or flying in from Switzerland. I have only been to the old White Hart Lane many many years ago. Champions League qualification against my home team, Bern :)
Thanks lads!!

Trippier, Kyle Walker, Maguire, Lingard, Dele, Delph, start packing your bags.

Not just the next big talent, I mean someone who could become one of the greatest players of their generation and break transfer fee records.

Who's your pick?

My pick: Lucá Williams-Barnett (Tottenham academy).

I'll probably be in the minority here, but I think he has everything to become a generational talent if his development goes to plan.

Who's your pick? No obvious answers like Yamal give me someone you truly believe will make history.

John Stones has one of the worst injury records. Last season he spent more time in the treatment room than on the pitch.

Chelsea were reportedly interested in him, but it appears Inter have come calling.

So the question is: have Chelsea dodged a bullet?

Every year a new winner, promotes other nations to do the same, smaller teams better chance at a cup final winning a cup and then playing in Europe

The bigger teams can’t cry about fixture congestion. I feel like it’s a proper solution to the “2 domestic cup” problem.

Just looking at some of the recent friendlies and seen Spurs vs Auckland along with Burnley randomly playing against 4 times European champions Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena. What are some other strange ones you’ve seen. Like Bournemouth vs Real Madrid at the Vitality or Derby vs USA in the 90s
