This thread has no rules on staying on topic. It welcomes diversity of thought and randomness whilst respecting all the (implied) rules of conduct on this board.

So, if you want to talk about any aspect of playing style, formation, player attributes, budgetary considerations, hospitality, whether OT is in Salford or not, Chelsea's collar, or anything else without fear of offending others, then this is the place for you!

Rovers well organised and playing well. If we find a striker will we be better than them?

Koulibaly, sheer class. Reece James all over the park. Chelsea seem to have got over their pre season blues.

Like most, I have a real dislike for Chelsea but fair points well made...and Richarlison coming on for Spurs. It's (nearly) enough to start warming your throat with 'Chelsea, Chelsea, we're having a blue...'. Nah, maybe not.

What does an occasional table do for the rest of the time

Here's one. I do this thing at work called last man standing. For anyone not aware, you pick a Premier league team to win a game each week. You can only pick a team once. If the team you picked loses or draws you're out. If you win you move onto the next week. We started with 20 players and it'll be down to 8 for next week as Liverpool knocked loads out in week one and I know four people had west ham this week. I picked Newcastle week one and Arsenal week 2. Loads of players used up Man City this week so I'm looking good. Anyway, my question is, who would you pick in week 3?

Posted: **Sun Aug 14, 2022 5:59 pm**

For some reason this thread reminded me of pstotto but I couldn't remember his username. I did a keyword search on "surreal" but interestingly it didn't return a single post of his containing that word. I might check for "ironic" under a few of those moaning about going off topic.

Was thinking Spurs, Chelsea or Liverpool but reckon United got no choice but to turn up against Liverpool so leaning towards the other two.

Not at all. I chose my username based on the fact that I liked Michael Duff but also that I am a keen, but pretty poor golfer (despite the genes). The underscore was supposed to represent the usual trajectory of the ball

I think someone else registered as Duffer without the _ but that was after me. Not sure if they understandably changed their username to avoid confusion or association with my views, or stopped posting shortly after joining.

ALK bought a football club without spending a dime, instead they sold all it's players to fund it.

They're away att West Ham so too big a risk.

That's actually brilliant. I think you're the only poster on here using a totally originally invented ideogram as a username. My golf-related ideogram would be something like Spiral////

You mean:

ALK bought a football club without spending a dime,

and sold all it's old players but that's no crime

'cos we wanted some younger ones and they were brought in

and when they come good it's The Championship we'll win!

Collins, Mcneil, Cornet, Pope, Wood.

I'd say our better players not old players.

I suspect I am more in the KRBFC camp when it comes to ALK but your post made me smile and inspired me...

ALK bought Burnley - a speculative punt,
Garlick trousered the cash - the total...ly respected ex Chairman of BFC was legally entitled to do so

Hmmm, needs a bit more work.

Liverpool (away at United)
It’s a tough set fixtures - anyone who hasn’t picked Arsenal will probably go for them away at Bournemouth
