Premier League 2022/23 (Part 1)

Is it really embarrassing that I barely know any leading actor/actress?

Tbf Winona Ryder isnā€™t much of a lead.

Not much of a surprise, it does so most years. No winter break where most of the peer leagues have one, and instead those clubs play the busiest time of their season in that interval. So where players elsewhere have in-season recovery, players in England have a higher level of strain.

Just realised that there will actually be an interval of six weeks between fixtures because of the world cup.

What an absolute fuck-up this season is !

Or in other words the world cup will last 6 weeksā€¦

You canā€™t tell me you only just realised that?

This first part of the season feels like the qualifying for a Formula 1 race.

Iā€™m calling it now. If we finish third until the break we are going to win the league.

Oh I can , I always thought it lasted four weeks. As someone who has zero interest in international football , Iā€™m assuming itā€™s because itā€™s been extended due to more teams in it , or some other bullshit.

The tournament itself is four weeks, Nov 20 to Dec 18. The break starts after the weekend of Nov 12-13 and the league resumes on Dec 26.

For those desperate in the UK, league 1-2 runs throughout and the Chanpionship is back on the 8th of December.

I am sort of sickened by the fact that this is the first World Cup since '86 that Canada has qualified for, and I suspect with a team that will be the best in a generation. This World Cup, of all of them over 36 years. In the goddamn fall/winter, played in a country that should never have been allowed to host.

Think it is just another step towards taking the game toward a different type of fanbaseā€¦ Not sure they bothered if they lose the decades long fanatical supporters that have been the foundations of many clubs
In the football calender, roll on December when the PL fires up again

I hope itā€™s an absolute shitshow , and a ratings disaster.

The only way Iā€™ll be watching any of it is if Wales get to the final.

What they may not have envisagedā€¦ is lots of people will come away from the country with a more damning picture of it than they have right nowā€¦ Be interesting to see how the authorities act if two sets of fans riot after a gameā€¦
