I'm bored now. When does the new season start?

Are all games on the 22/08, the season launch date, or will it be split between the 22nd and 23rd? Usually have one on the Friday night to start off but apparently it starts on the Saturday this season.

that sounds brilliant. sadly i have daughters not sons (no not sadly but you know what i mean) and there isn't a sporting bone in their bodies. they do at least love to go to games.

i'm 60 and miss playing at the weekend. i much preferred the wet and windy over days like today (brilliant sunshine and unbearable heat for those reading next week). nothing like coming in afterwards, knackered, muddy knees, recounting incidents. ah.

I played well into my 40s and was ready to call it a day. It was beginning to hurt too much :)

My oldest lad isnt sporty at all and at first my youngest 2 showed no interest, i thought it was going to pass me by.
Now they share a season ticket, daughter trains tuesdays, plays saturdays. Son plays for the team i coach saturdays and we train thursdays. He plays for a sunday team too and trains with them wednesdays! Plus school team training tuesdays and games mondays!

So yeah … i very much look forward to a break ;)
 
Kind of looking forward to the world cup, not for the football though, for the absolute shitshow I anticipate it being. Infantino's head should roll come August.

Don't mind the break anymore, used to be that I couldn't get enough football but since the increased schedule and the feeling like therr is always a game on that impacts us, the break is a welcome one.

I always enjoy the break from football. Being a football fan is exhausting on the body, mind and bank account. The off-season is a welcome break and recovery period from all of that. Then it’s exciting with pre-season, new signings, wearing the new season’s new kit (although we’ve already spoilt it by wearing it this season and getting beat in it), the build-up to the Communuty Shield and the start of the PL…

Plus, I’m relived the season is over. The PL has been a terrible watch this season: time wasting like we’ve never seen before, lowest ball-in-play numbers for years, a minute to take set pieces, long throws. abysmal officiating, VAR making it up as it goes along and so many games, there’s far too many games now with the expanded CL, and expanded WC+Euros plus an extra international break that never used to exist…

Thank fuck it’s all over and I’m going to relish the next few football-free months. Won’t be watching the WC, I’m genuinely sick of football. Will then look forward to it all building up in late July again.

Thankfully the end of the season gives me the opportunity to get fit, lose a bit of weight, stop drinking as much beer as I have been drinking, and in the process, saving money. Hopefully I’ll be fitter, slimmer, healthier, with more money when the new season starts again.

I played 6 aside into my 40s too

The look of indignation on youngsters faces when a team with oldies beat them was great. Some tried to get physical which was funny too.

Usually one on the Friday, so will probably be the 21st.

Patience, Patience, me ol' cocker spaniel ..... we've got to sign half a dozen new players first !

In fact, seein' as though Pep's cleared off, and Maresca's not even here yet, i may as well make a start on it myself seeing as i'm not doin' owt else ... now which f'kin' draw has Pep left the chequebook in ??? Not took it with him to Spain, has he ?

My wife likes the close season - she can get a good night's sleep instead of lying awake worrying what City are up to.
