It's called the Liverpool delusion effect.

It's called the Liverpool delusion effect.

That takes more than 1 season to come into effect. Chelsea don't stand much of a chance with those strikers

Yeah, adding assists and goals in Fabregas and Costa to a team who threw away the league last year has decreased Chelseas chances.

Chelsea and City will be clear at the top.

All you really have is Costa, can't see Torres doing much yet again. I hear he might be planning to offload Schurrle.

To suit my argument you've won it once in the past 8 years... turning slowly into Arsenal.

Compare our squad of the past 8 years to the one we have now. Fabregas is an assist machine. Not acknowledging him is lol. Torres won't play much. Doubt Schurrle is going anywhere and he only had a bit part role last season.

Arsenal have won 2 FA cups in the last decade.

Chelsea have won 3 Leagues, 1 Champions League, 1 Europa League, 4 FA cups and a League Cup in the last decade.

Have to say CFC are in with a shout!

Schurrle is a fab player! I don't see why they'd "off-load" him.

It would be a bit silly to ignore that Chelsea have a great team and on paper will be one the ones to beat, hopefully on the field they crumble.

[FeetMagic]

Schurlle > Willian IMO

already? Don't think so.

He is a great impact sub.

City are the team to beat. Strongest on paper.

Well when I said one of the ones, I was including city in that, I'll spell it out for ya next time mate.

[CHDad]

Schurlle > Willian IMO

It is close. William is solid and works his bollocks off. Schurrle seems to only do the business off the bench. I would prefer Schurrle started ahead of him. The whole having defensive attacking midfielders is holding the team back imo.

[CHDad]

Well when I said one of the ones, I was including city in that, I'll spell it out for ya next time mate.

The is no one of the ones. City are the team to beat.

I'm not ignoring them, just don't think they will be close with their current squad. Mata was an assist machine and he sold him thankfully.

I'd rate Chelsea's chances the same as Arsenals. City on top and us 4th

[CHDad]

If Mata is an assist machine then Fabregas is an assist factory.

[Jam-Fly]

City are favourites, but it's gona be a two horse race between Chelsea and City. Arsenal should show improvements and will probably finish 3rd.

Not sure where United and Liverpool fit in. Liverpool were class last season and it was a pity they blew their one chance at the impossible. No Suarez and Gerrard a year older won't help, and I don't know how their new signings will fit in. Rodgers is a great coach but hasn't always been the best in transfer market (or whoever is responsible). If the transfers in work out, they could do well. I think there'll be a hangover from last year though so top 2 again is definitely out of the question. I think they'll finish 4th but it's tough to call with them and United as there's a lot of new variables with those two clubs.

If United get Rooney and RVP performing to the level they're capable of, that alone will make a massive difference. Van Gaal will surely need another defender brought in to avoid seriously struggling at some point in the season. Think it'll be an improvement on last year, but the top 4 these days is incredibly competitive so think they'll just finish fifth. Really close to call between Pool and United though.


Outside that, who knows. Not many people talking bout Spurs but no real reason to talk about them. The team has good players so hopefully Pochettino gets the best out of them. I think a team like Leicester could surprise and get a top 8 finish.

Honestly think at worst for united they won't be more than 5 points off 2nd and will be a handy 3rd. Not going to invest money in them actually winning the league but if I were to bet I would bet on them top 3, just not gonna lock my money up for a year at odds on though. Might include it in a year long accum, gonna do a few of those

What's that kebab place in Portlaoise? Was driving to Dublin about 2 years ago and my friend was one of those that wants to stop every hour. We stop off at this kebab place in Portlaoise and your man tells us people come from Dublin for the food there. It was fairly decent, very good as far as chippers go I suppose.

edit: actually looking at the above, think we tried both O'Gormans and Season Bistro but they weren't open or something

[Jam-Fly]

no wonder you're so good at Countdown.

Actually, is there any clip of you from the show? Never saw it the time you were on.

[mdoug]

Nah I can get higher than that on betfair if I wanted and wouldn't miss a few hundred in a betting account the way poker has gone of late. Probably just going to have a fun bet with Chad and then have one big ass €500 accumulator with ridic fun bets to return 100k+

Anyone any thoughts on who will get promoted from each league?

Zam Zam kebab house main street??

rumour has it the food chiefs were in there lately, got some bad press about the town seemingly. not sure exactly what was up though

I was too strong a character to get wrapped up in it all - I would passively attend certain internal meetings but I was always several moves ahead in the game of chess. I always made sure that others knew I was several moves ahead.

Facepalm.

Since mdoug won't give you action would you like to take Leicester and I will take Hull in a €50 season match bet. Give us a second team for the season.

Brag: first five figure trading day
Beat: was negative

What/where are you trading Shane?

lol Celtic.

St.Pats would have knocked them out.

I just wanna wait until I find out about fellaini/kagawa/hernandez/nani tbh, in a weeks time I'll do some fun bets re: united but when it's your team you kinda wanna wait to bet. If Jamfly says no I'll have Leicester, otherwise we'll discuss this next week.

Gonna have a 1000/1 accum for €100 too, gimme some tips for who'll get promoted in all the leagues mate.

Lucky fucker Keane, I definitely would

[Keane]

I would as well tbf but I'm def better looking than that guy

[Flushdraw]

lol delusional united fans

Meh, Man Utd have been pretty much best priced to win the league with PP for weeks now and people probably looked elsewhere to back City (PP best priced now)

I've backed them to lay them after 8 games. They start against Swansea, Sunderland, Burnley, Queens Park Rangers, Leicester, West Ham, Everton and West Bromwich.

City have to play Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Newcastle in their first 8.

Seems better value backing Utd over City

[Jam-Fly]

Yeah I will obv have to

bleh, talk about not putting my money where my mouth is :P Dunno why I said Hull would get relegated, they've a decent manager and a decent squad, I suppose I couldn't see anyone else getting relegated. Gwan Mdoug, it's all yours.

This having another team to root for does interest me though, I think Villa could overachieve if either of ye want to take another team versus Villa? Ye can have any of the teams I've listed below Villa (bar Stoke, just because the bookies seem to think Stoke are class. I don't like Mark Hughes so was probably harsh to them in my prediction).

[mdoug]

I would as well tbf but I'm def better looking than that guy

If this is true then why does he have this hottie? He doesn't even have the Irish charm either... time to step up keane and get us some pics with hotties in jerseys this weekend, a girl in a jersey tbf

[Jam-Fly]

Zam Zam kebab house main street??

rumour has it the food chiefs were in there lately, got some bad press about the town seemingly. not sure exactly what was up though

Could well be, can't remember the name at all tbh. We parked in the square (what I'd assume would be called the square anyway) by a Ladbrokes and it was just around the corner from that.

[hotspur]

Lol.
I know the fella behind Dialog Ireland, one story about Tony Q involved a masseuse with an altar to him (picture, lighted candles, the works) in her office.

Mike Garde? Having an ultra Christian guy behind a site exposing cults is kinda like a Southern Baptist having a site about evolution imo. The site smacks of a smear job on organisations which might draw people away from Christianity, and I am assuming this is his real aim with the site.

There is stuff about the Dublin Buddhist Centre on it, and warning people about them is bizarre. Yes there are some things which could be said about the sexual behaviour of founder of, what is know known as, the Triratna Buddhist Order, but having this up on the site about the DBC is ridiculous imo.

Experimenting with a solitary trip to the theatre. Feels liberating.

My preferred choice. Has the advantage of permitting going on a whim, and not having to feel responsible for the play being good that you dragged the person to. Also being with someone not enjoying it lessens my enjoyment.

Soton for me for 50 plz, think they'll still get top 10 solely due to the incompetence of other teams
