Is it coming home this time? 

Err ... not quite!

Anyway, the EPL kicks off Saturday morning 17th August at 5.00am (Man Utd vs Fulham) 

So can any team put a stop to Man City's dominance?

City have won the last 4 titles along with 6 of the last 7 EPL titles

Could be one of the more bizarre seasons coming right up with all eyes on November (or thereabouts) for the Man City trial..

Oh, oK

What might their penalties be?  If guilty?

I'm excited for the EPL season but without any real tribalism involved in terms of winning big

Like a number of the other clubs, West Ham don't really try and win the League or FA Cup and as for the league, anywhere 4th to 12 the is the goal for a club without a lot of spending power

So it's more about the way we play when you're up against a team like Man City who have 11 of the best 50 players in the world in their line-up

But I really look forward to the clashes between the big guns

A very different way of following a sport don't you think?

The title race will still be very exciting, barring whatever happens I'd still expect City to be too strong. It will be very interesting to see if Arsenal can take the next step though. 

It is but thats a great thing. One thing is for sure, there will plenty of great football being played.

They're still missing a piece of the jigsaw in the final 1/3rd

Reckon a lot will depend on Man City's FFP charges .... the hearing starts in early September and will last for 10 weeks

EPL kicks off in just under 5 hours

Man Utd vs Fulham (5.00am)

Match of the week is probably Chelsea vs Man City (1.30am Monday)

Not sure whether SEN are covering the EPL games this season but if you've got access to TalkSport radio, you should be able to get hold of the games

SEN are covering most of the EPL games again this season

Download the app to access the games and SEN Fanatic looks to be the go-to audio outlet (via the app)

All the big guns (bar Chelsea) won their opening encounters with Tottenham engaged tomorrow morning @ Leicester (5.00am on SEN Fanatic) 

Liverpool too good for Ipswich whilst West Ham had their chances to get a point vs Villa

I see Jamie Vardy is lacing them up again for The Foxes (at the age of 37)  If he's still got that yard of pace, he could be a more than handy sub


Here's my top 10 for the EPL season 

Man City (too many quality players)

Arsenal (will push Man City again)

Liverpool (interesting watch post Klopp)

Aston Villa (underrated but keep performing)

Chelsea (very big squad, perhaps too big)

Man Utd (the dark horse)

Tottenham (away at the big clubs could be a challenge) 

Newcastle (will win a lot of home games)

Brighton (could finish higher if augurs well)

West Ham (a knockout hope)

Nearest the pin wins the prize* (if anyone else here cares to have a go at it)

 

 

*There's no prize

 

A new season, 2 games in and Haaland scores a hat trick! 

Some things never change

Haaland's 3rd goal is sublime but centimetre perfect

The new Champions league format is a virtual Super league

Initially 36 teams and one big ladder (table)

4 groups of 9 teams where each team plays 8 preliminary games (4 home & 4 away but 8 different teams)

The top 8 teams after all the preliminary games all qualify for round of 16 games

Teams placed 9th to 24th play 2 leg home & away matches in order to qualify for the round of 16 matches (another 8 teams)

So in order to win the Champions league a team will need to play at least 15 matches and up to 17 matches

It's a league in itself

For those without cable SBS HD are broadcasting 2 World Cup qualifiers this weekend (live)

Friday 9.50am Argentina vs Chile

Saturday 10.50am Brazil vs Ecuador

These games are always played in front of full stadiums, full of atmosphere and lots of noise 

Argentina currently top the table (10 teams) but Brazil are surprisingly in 6th position

Although, to be fair, only 6 matches have been played out of the 18 to be played (each team)

Man Utd committee meeting in a few hours re the future of Eric ten Hag

Is he safe?

Is Erik ten Haag the right guy? 

It's a bit of a knife-edge situation. Probably should have been let go at the end of last season but they got caught up in the delirium of cup final success. Also the new (portion) of ownership didn't want to rock the boat too much early. But imagine they've seen enough so far and he's far from safe

 

Socceroos vs China on 10HD right now

World Cup Qualifier (Must Win)


Socceroos had all the play, but conceded a soft goal at 20 minutes. Socceroos equalised just before half time.

Now half time ... 1-1.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
