Just like the WWC, the league should really think about competitiveness and the integrity of the competition, given very few of these teams taking part have a real chance of beating us, as well.Me to.
All those teams trying to take points off us, bastards!

Wonder what the chances of that happening again are. Zero would be my best guess.
I see the Champions get to play at home in the opening match...

It's often when tricky PL fixtures coincide with CL games that league points are dropped. I would rather have some harder games earlier on when we can concentrate on them, without the coming CL match potentially distracting.
We have CL group game midweek before Liverpool away in November. As with last season Liverpool fixtures may decide the PL?
In December we have United Home, CL group game, then Arsenal Away.
In April we have Liverpool home Saturday, 1st leg CL 1/4 final midweek, Southampton away weekend, 2nd CL leg midweek, then Newcastle home weekend. Newcastle will presumably have new investment then so could be a different beast altogether next season.
January and May are both interesting times for the scouse ****s.
