And We're Off!
GW1 Reminder Klaxon
Liverpool vs Bournemouth tonight, meaning that the long wait for GW1 is over. Is it a long wait? It’s felt a bit longer because there wasn’t an Olympics or a World Cup/Euros. Something to tide us over. We had the Club World Cup, but that wasn’t very watchable for the most part.
Anyway, not going to write much here other than to post the link for you lot to join the league - look, I’ve made you a custom button.
I’ve been agonising over my team selection, of course. And I will continue to agonise right up to the deadline, which is 1830.
So if you haven’t made a team, get on it. You only have 9 hours.
In the meantime, for posterity. I’m going to post a predicted table.
Arsenal (mock me all you want. It was 1st or 2nd, and I didn’t have the heart to put us 2nd again)
Liverpool (could easily be another runaway title, but I think the defence may be a wee bit leaky, though that could definitely be offset by a thermonuclear attack. If Isak signs, I might retroactively change this)
City
Chelsea
United
Villa
Brighton
Spurs
Newcastle
Everton
Forest
Fulham
West Ham
Palace
Bournemouth
Leeds
Sunderland
Brentford
Wolves
Burnley
Oof, you know you’ve not thought things through properly when you get to the bottom and realise you’re missing Brighton, only to pop them right in at 7th. I do think it will be very tight from 5th to 9th, and if United and Spurs aren’t as good as this then I won’t be shedding any tears.
