What are you most excited for next season? (Football)

[Crayo]

Premier and Champions' League coverage here in the States will be at it's all time best.
Very curious to see how well it'll do, what we'll get. Hope it's good enough to follow a team.

If you want, I can tag you week-to-week with the games schedule so you can wake up early enough to watch them on stream. I watch loads on stream; football is a sport where HD isn't necessary at all imo. It'll be hard to follow a team if ESPN is you're only source of BPL games since you won't be able to watch your followed team week-to-week.

I'm interested in Liverpool, of course. I'm not expecting anything great, but maybe a little bit of progression. And I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm very interested in how well United will do under Moyes, it will be interesting how everyone reacts if he gets a bad start, but I think he's fine.

United have a LOT more glory fans now than when Sir Alex took over, and even then many fans wanted him out after 3 unsuccessful seasons, so I reckon Moyes' head will be up for grabs if we win nothing next season. United fans like to go around and take the piss out of clubs like Chelsea and Madrid for appointing so many different managers, but they did that when SAF - the GOAT manager - was here for a stable 26 years. It'll be a much different story next season if Moyes doesn't succeed, though I expect United to stick with him regardless.

I'm really interested in how Moyes does.

I dont think having Moyes in charge will greatly shift the balance of power in the prem, Utd have a pretty strong team, and no doubt a couple of big signings to come in to help strengthen where it is needed, i feel the only diffrence could be how Fergie had that knack of picking up points when they were out of form and playing shit

As for the incoming season, the manager merry-go-round has made it interesting before it has even started, add to that the slow ramp up of incoming faces to most clubs, the wondering if they will be top buys or flops, or if your club has managed to sneak the bargain of the season ala Michu last year

On a personal note i am looking forward to going to see the mighty (hopefully) Ricky Van Wolfswinkle banging in goals for Norwich

He he wolfswinkle.

Sporting Lisbon is my team. You'll love Wolfie, we're really going to miss him.

 

[Crayo]

Love Wolfie too. How much did Sporting sell him for?

10 million pounds

Not bad. Sporting are my Portuguese team too; love them. Their academy is awesome.

Llori will be great imo. Capel is already great.

Capel scares me man. He doesn't look coordinated whilst dribbling. It looks like he's going to trip and fall at any moment 1:

Lmao but it somehow manages to work out right?

 

[seabs]

Sounds like Kanu.

We'll see. The team is in tough financial times right now. We need a couple of young guys to really step it up so we can be competitive again. Last year was our worst result in well over a decade. Also, losing Wolfie has made me almost as sad as when we lost Moutinho.

 

[Crayo]

Your academy will come through. You have some awesome talents in there.

I despise the close season and transfer window in general as "rumours" really grind my gears.

I'm looking forward to watching York win League 2 and, by the look of our signings, we'll be contending.

The Premier League can't be worse than last season, low quality and low entertainment shite. I'm not going to enjoy Mourinho being a fuckwitt or Ian Holloway in the Prem. It's a pretty open title race though. Chelsea, City and United can all win it. I have a feeling Spurs could finish top three as AVB is class. Let me guess, 12 other clubs will do everything they can to finish 17th, even if that means bailing in cups or stop playing decent football.

I'm pleased there was no major tournament this summer because football was really starting to annoy me this spring. A break from it has done me good, even though it never ends - Euro U21's, Confederations Cup etc.

 

[Crayo]

What's with the random hate of football? Mourinho is so entertaining, and Ian Holloway is possibly the GOAT interviewer lmao. AVB is class? I think he's done a decent job, but the only job he has been class at is Porto. Rumours are one of the most fun thing to discuss imo.

I am looking forward to see how Neymar adapts to Barca's style of play and if he can actually bring something to the team.
