Mock-ups for the new Everton ground have been released. Supposedly it'll be finished for the 2023/24 season. Does look like it'll be an amazing ground.

was that the place that's like a block away from anfield or something?

please correct me if i'm wrong. my internet search is broken at the moment.

They're about a mile apart

And literally across the park from each other at that too.

:( Gueye has left Everton for PSG. Gonna miss him.

"Since making his debut for Everton in August 2016, Idrissa Gueye made more tackles (395) and interceptions (218) than any other player in the Premier League."

He's gonna be a real tough one to replace for sure.

Gueye will be a big miss. I know they're looking at that Gbamin bloke, who's meant to be excellent, but Gueye was the epitome of solid.

Aye, he was. However, in up news Everton have finally signed a striker! Miracles happen everyday. He's 19 year old called Kean from Juventus and from what I've read he's actually a decent player already. Here's hoping he can hit the ground running.

West Ham fans have been presented with 38 strikers "since David Gold and David Sullivan took over back in January 2010. Between those 38, only 203 goals were scored in a staggering 957 matches"

Well that's a rather depressing stat.

So a new season starts this weekend! Or already has if you follow the championship. Predictions? Thoughts? Expectations?

ive watched no news and therefore have no predictions, but i’d like for klopp to finally win the prem this year. if they can. i hope he built up the squad this summer (i’ll assume he did).

and best wishes with that juve kid.

i’m in the process of moving & moving & moving again, so i’ll catch up with the news as the season progresses (if i can).

Nah, Liverpool haven't bought anyone, save for a 16 year old. Man City have bought a new midfielder, and today a new full back. No idea what they're like, mind.

Moving, moving, moving? What the hella going on there? Moving closer to civilization?

And urgg, feel bad for that kid. He's had a rough start already. Hope people remember that he's only 18 or whatever he is.

It is, but without wanting to gloss over it, West Ham are similar to a lot of clubs now, in that they've become a lot more reliant on goals from midfield than from real out-and-out strikers. Arnie was really a false 9 and before that, Payet, Antonio, etc were definitely midfielders. It's true that pure strikers like Carroll and Chicharito flopped but fortunately goals came from elsewhere.


VAR will hopefully favour smaller clubs who've previously struggled to get decisions against the big boys.

I can see a bit of a mini-league forming of Everton, Leicester, West Ham and possibly Wolves, with whoever comes out on top having a real chance of breaking into the top 6, if only for a season. With Chelsea being most at risk of dropping.

Man City will be unstoppable.

A Rafa-less Newcastle will struggle.

My thoughts are the offseason is way too short

Ah nice! How's your Mrs about the whole wanting to live out of a carrier bag thing?

Nah, I'm definitely ready for the season to start. I actually resorted to watching the Audi cup (what? My thoughts exactly) last week. Even the winners Spurs could barely muster a celebration for winning that one.

honest? she loves it

So Everton have just signed a RB from Monaco. A player named Sidibe. "Ah great, a new rb. Just what Everton need!". I decided to have a look on the monaco forums to see what they're saying about the move. Always a bit disconcerting when the fans are especially happy to see a player go. Hope we haven't got a donkey here.

Sign of a solid relationship right there

everyone hates doing housework

it’s just a matter of finding out first-hand

Rooney will join Derby County in January as player / assistant coach to Philip Cocu. Just wondering why he choose that club, wouldn't there be a club in the premier league that would be interested in having him in the team?


good luck on the moving Symbols!
