Anyway the new season is nearly upon us what are your thoughts?

Be interesting to see how Arnie Slot starts at Liverpool, going to be a big change so I'll be watching Liverpool's prices closely

Chelsea with Maresca as above but not that much of a big change due to their merry-go-round policy

Ten Haag given another year at Man U, I'm not sure about this possibly a fresh start was needed, a slow start should see the end of him

Hope Arsenal can push City again they are the teams to beat

Everton will be watching paint dry as usual

Ipswich absolute fodder, they may as well build/sort finances out for 25/26 in the Championship now

Hopefully plenty of goals and green

No major transfers in for Liverpool? That's got to be a negative.

I believe this was mostly by design, Liverpool have used the pre-season US tour as a squad assessment period so August was always going to be the busier month. Expecting a few players to come in soon.

Been quietish for most clubs, fair play rules possibly becoming an issue for everyone.

Or go out, Carvalho had a good pre-season, looks like he's got his wish for first team football. Sepp VDB was decent in preseason too, been playing his way into the shop window and dying to leave but offers aren't high enough. Kweeve been linked with interest from Juve, can't find any sources only the Scum on that one though. There were reports of Celtic interest but they wouldn't pay the money wanted. Probably more clickbait reports than anything.
After Caicedo and Fernandez both going to Chelsea, I pay little heed to any "reported" transfer news now unless it's someone live actually signing a contract.
Happy with Szobo and Macca instead of those pair of Chelsea dicks though :P

Big coup if Liverpool can land the underrated Zubimendi, tells you everything what their new playstyle is going to be

They had too many massive L's in the transfer window in recent years, albeit for all the right targets that mostly opted for Real instead

Meanwhile United still going with the overpaid injury prone player approach with the likes of de Ligt

And Chelsea fans seem to wake up to a new signing every day now, think they just signed their 8th goalkeeper

Does anybody have or is aware of data around extra times? I'm looking to quantify and cross check some late goal stuff.

I think you could use CGM software and regardless you could see there are goals in 90 min only - that's mean that they are scored in 90+ min.And if average added time is +6 min a goal to be scored in exactly 90th min (in all of these games with goals in extra times) is 0.171 goals only.Same thing is at FH with 45 min.

Omg there are rumours that Liverpool are signing a player! The very last club in Europe to do so.

We don't even care who it is, JUST FIRE UP THE OLD BABELCOPTER 🚁
