Afternoon Ed002.
I know you have a soft spot for Chelsea. What do you make of their season so far? There were a good few writing them off at the start of the season but you only need to look at the team and it's pretty decent, I mentioned on here back in August write them off at your peril.
I still think City will win the league again but the likes of us and Chelsea will push City closer I think. Arsenal, if they could shore up their defence, could also play a if part in the top four.
{Ed002's Note - This is not really the place to ask me questions but what has happened so far really gives little indication where the season will end up. As a club there is no doubt Chelsea are satisfied with how the results have been so far but it is very early in the season, and the club know that. There are a few issues they are working to resolve on the people side of things but I think everyone is comfortable. Personally I would think that Manchester City would have to have a bit of a major prang to not win the league or be very close, and regardless of the last couple of weeks Liverpool are in good shape but are now in the "must buy the league" mode. Arsenal are looking to a top four finish as a priority and Spurs are a little in no mans land with major issues over the stadium. Manchester United are suffering a witch hunt and have the toxic fans turning, what that eventually derails is yet to be seen but it will be more difficult to put right. After that nobody is looking great which opens a bit of a door for Wolves to get a little in front of the the others like Everton who, like their manager, are unconvincing and Watford and Bournemouth who have upward blips that probably won't last. Leicester will make a major mistake with their manager which will foul them up and then it is down to those who survive and those who can't find three sides worse than them.}

Good reply. I feel the same. Think if Chelsea can finish top 3 or 4 that will be good for our building up of nextyear. Thanx for the response Ed002.

Ok, thanks for the answer anyway. Some interesting points.

I'm assuming you're implying that Leciester will soon get rid of Puel, Ed002? I've noticed that you're a massive advocate of Puel over the years. Don't know what to make of him, to be honest. Clearly a very decent manager, what he done with Southampton was great, and Leicester look solid, but something about him really puts me off.

Thanks a lot ed, when you say people side of things? Do you mean dof?

Great to get these persuasive comments from you Ed002, all convince, many thanks.

We shouldn’t be happy wrh 4tg place, every year we should be title contenders and although city and Liverpool are better and stronger and more favourites we should still be aiming for it, at least 3rd.

Cfcboy. I’m a Liverpool fan and I know everyone in the media is talking Liverpool and City but I think Chelsea will be up there, especially if you keep Hazard fit and happy. He looks back to himself again as apposed to the dejected figure under Mourinho.

Hello boys, Liverpool fan in peace.
Good to your legend Lampard get off to a wining start, it seams Frank and Steven ( Gerrard ) are in contact with each other, wishing each other luck etc.
It would be great to see a couple of English managers progress.
I'll be looking forward to my pre match pints in Parsons Green ( white horse ) before I take my seat in your away end.
Good luck for the season.

Thanks Drogie mate, best of luck to you too! As much as it pains me to say it I think you have a real good chance this year. I'm quietly confident about our fortunes as well, I find it odd that so many are writing us off already! What are your thoughts on the current Chelsea side?
2.) 04 Aug 2018 09:27:10
I think you have an excellent manager and his style of play will certainly get you off your seats I reackon.
Keeping hold of Hazard and Kante are key imo. I’ve seen Kante live when you’ve come to Anfield ( and Leicester ), he’s like two players rolled into one, an immense player.
Courtois could be a blow but if he wants to move back to Spain to be with his family, who can blame him.
You’ll be there or there about a this season!

I’ll be keeping close eye on derby and rangers, not keen on Brendan Rogers and want Celtic knocked off there perch, was good seeing Lampard and his staff the way they were and Jody, look like a real team Spirit,

Should be goals goals goals. Napoli scored 251 goals on his 3 seasons there!
