Premier League 2022/23 (Part 1)

Yes…I feel a lot better now, thank you.

Could be a few issues if Truss and Sunak follow up their threats on China.

His old man was a good man too - massive shame he passed the way he did.

One of the three rape charges against as yet unnamed footballer dropped.

Other two charges still open, so careful on comments.

There’s some woman on twitter with about 11-12k followers claiming to be a victim of rape from said footballer, proper lengthy tweet on the subject. Won’t post on here as I’m uncertain if it’s within the forums guideline.

I can’t see Fulham being the worst of the teams. Then again it is Silva in charge and he usually falls apart after several months.

Golden Boot: Mo/Nunez/Son
*Haaland will end up with a better goal per game ratio, but will spend more time in the physio room than on the pitch, so will miss out due to being a soft manc twat

Manger of the Season: Klopp

First Manager to be Sacked: Ten Hag, but Fat Frank to follow a couple of days later.

I don’t Ten Haag will be sacked, he would have to be worse than Ole.

Their squad was very weak and lacking any balance, and they haven’t strengthened. If anything they are actually considerably weaker, having let Pogba, Mata, Lingard and Matic go without having replaced any of them means they have 2 senior midfielders in Fred and Mctommony. They still will have Maguire in defence, and unless Ten Hag completely changes the way they defend, he will still be a massive liability for them and cost them games, so I can see him being under serious pressure come Oct/Nov

What level does Ten Haag need to be at to get sacked by say Christmas? Bottom half? out of the top 4 race? Relegation zone?

The lack of incoming players will probably prevent Ten Haag from coming under any serious pressure for the first year. I’m not sure any of those you named made that much of a contribution, and perhaps some of the youth stepping up can help fill gaps for a short while.

I think everything has to be a disaster for that to happen. Not just the things we see, but the day to day work, relations with players and staff.
