21/22 Football Season

[OstrichMania]

Put your discussion, comments, predictions and anything else about the season here! This thread covers all leagues (Premier League, Serie A, LaLiga, Ligue 1, MLS, among others). I'll post my predictions here soon.

Also happy about Leicester winning the Community Shield, well done to the foxes!

First Premier League game today, predicting a 3-1 win for Brentford.

My Premier League 2021-2022 final table prediction:

2. Man U
3. Liverpool
4. Man C
5. Leicester
6. Everton
7. Tottenham
8. Arsenal

Nice to see Celtic and Rangers losing league games already

I am a little shocked to see Brentford only have 2 British players in their starting line up.

Victory for Brentford today. The atmosphere was incredible, and I also liked the fact that they applauded Saka as he went onto the pitch. Embarrassing for Arsenal, and definetly not a good start for Ben White!

Ronaldo returns, I now firmly believe that United will win the league.

I'm not so convinced. I don't know whether United can create enough chances for Ronaldo. Time will tell, though.

But they might finish higher than Villa now though 7th, pffft!

If he was 26 not 36 and Fergie was in charge, I'd tend to agree.

However, he isn't and he isn't so Utd.

Fair enough, I do think though whatever happens, this signing will be a game changer.

It will mean Juve have off loaded a burden for £28M
It will be fun to watch Man U fail again.
In my opinion he is the second best player to play ever but he is 37 in 4 months....

But he's Ronaldo. He got exceptional physical attribute. If there's any player who can make it in the PL now in 37, it's CR7 for sure.

Looks like he's going to at least try to squeeze in a small contribution before hitting that dreaded 37 Year Old Wall

I’ve not had a great start so far, considering I’m a Doncaster rovers fan

Currently enjoying this season as a West Ham supporter, and handing Manchester City their first League Cup defeat in 5 years is a serious achievement!

 

[OstrichMania]

Ronald Koeman has been sacked from Barcelona. Can't say I didn't see it coming after their terrible run of form.

How do you think I’m feeling as a Sunderland supporter!
