But those teams have got to wake up early and get going too. Usually the big guns aren't in full flow until later in the season. To balance it out we have the easiest of home games we could have wished for.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I'm assuming every team will be at a similar level of performance at the same stage of the season.
There you go!
Only posted it for the laugh and to have a joke about it. People taking it a bit too serious.
Wasn't mean't in a "Oh look, The Brodge is drunk!! Shame on him" kind of way
Its usually the lower table clubs you have to be wary of early doors. The West Broms, Leicesters, etc don't half put on a performance before disappearing into mediocrity.
Like Crystal Palace?
Yep, another team to be wary of.
It's a tough start and could put him under pressure. If they manage to steal a win or two though then they could find themselves in a good position once they come up against the easier teams.
That is a fair point, but I don't see how that affects your first 7 away games...
and Liverpool.
That fixture list is borderline comical.
Uncanny David Brent impression here, especially from 0:16.
Sure to generate many laughs
I am looking forward to next season, I hope he survives the chop.
I think he'll be gone by the end of next season, if not before the end of the coming season.
When he's mumbling this 'good la' oooh' I was literally waiting for this 'deluded liverpool commentator' to kick in with his commentary.

There is some mumblings in Serbia that he or Liverpool (same shit) placed Markovic on transfer list,maybe its due Firmino joining,in any case if true i find it weird move just after one season,put on side he bought attacking player so he could force him to play wing back.
in fairness, he is terrible.
We can agree or disagree about that,terrible? No,he isnt,he wasnt before in Benfica and he isnt now either.
Markovic has ability, but he is unbelievably lightweight. I think Ibe looking better than him from the start has changed his situation.
To be fair I never really saw him play for Benfica so I can't comment on that, the lad clearly has talent but every single game I've watched him play for Liverpool he's misplaced at least 6 passes a game, struggled in the defensive third, failed to beat the first man with deliveries and generally been sub-standard. Based on what I have seen, I don't rate him at all.

Interview with Brentan asking Jamie for Help
I have a feeling that Rodgers has had nothing to do with any of their signings this summer.
We usually have great starts to the season, Its the Nov/Dec period where we usually have issues.
Maybe that is why they were good signings
Carragher impression is terrific.
Exactly. My wish this summer was for Rodgers to not get fired but also be kept a million miles away from player purchases. Seems like Christmas came early.
Or he learned his mistakes from last season.
Isn't that what they say for all their signings?
No. Normally, when they sign, every one is a world beater and indicative of brentans genius. Then they actually play football, are a bit crap, and become the committees fault. The best example of this is Bibotelli. Last seasons transfers have been so bad though that they kind of broke the rogers genius in the transfer market meme, so its been flipped.
This time, they look sensible proven players so are nothing to do with him. Those that fail will, no doubt, become brentan's boys soon enough.
Let's just see how good they are next season before we come to any conclusions.
I usually hate impressionists, but that Carragher was brilliant.
Or maybe he had nothing to do with their signings last season?
I hope you're wrong.
I do not understand the evil thug look on his and Skrtel's face!
Caption time: What time is the "Thai" massage scheduled?
Been told to shut up about transfers, or much else. Good, about time he got back to the real business.
Come on Brendan.
Come on Brendan.
I think that's a shame, really. If the owners are going to back him properly, at the very least they shouldn't make him feel like he's on thin ice all the time. They should let him be himself - if he ends up doing well, then he'll have been justified in his self-confidence.
I assume him saying that there is no issue with Sterling was just the company line?
