So the new season is almost upon us. I would like to wish all EFL and non league clubs all the very best for the upcoming season. I hope that it is a successful one.

2015/2016 season was a breath of fresh air with no mind games like in other seasons and that a popular club achieved the ultimate prize by becoming english champions for the very first time in their history. I fear with the return of the arrogant one to ot that normal service has resumed and that the mind games will be unleashed again.

As for leicester city. I aint making no forecasts and will be just taking one game at a time. Where leicester end up on may 21st remains to be seen. It is going to be an interesting season

I am disappointed that leicester have seen fit to accept participation in the EFL Trophy. This competition is for league one and two clubs and should have remained that way.

I'd like to wish all clubs that aren't the one I support a f*****g awful season.

Sky will be oblivious to the fact that the national league starts next saturday. Doubt whether they will give it the time of the day. But the olympics come first for me so football can wait.

Cant understand why the football season couldnt have wait til the 20th august so that there was minimal olympic overlap. But the PL have shown that they have no regard for the olympics

Why should they?

why on earth should the premier league give a monkey crap about the olympics?

I wish football wasn't part of the Olympics. It's my least favourite element, even as a football fan. The Olympic games should be where we obsesses over the weightlifting and fist-pump when we get bronze in the pole vault and go mental when we win the synchronised diving doubles.

And if the PL have shown a lack of regard, then surely so have the Football League, National League etc given that they start next week.

I actually quite enjoyed seeing the one off Team GB in London for the football, shame that it got put to an end, as a combined team this year (well mainly probably Welsh players) could have been a good watch!

never agreed with football, tennis or golf in the olympics anyway.

We didnt qualify during the 2015 European U21 tournament, we needed to get to the semis.

Rugby yes or no??

True, but I doubt that we would have fielded one even if we had qualified sadly.

Theres no such sport as rugby as im sure ive seen you pronounce on here before and besides, its off topic to bring it up in a football thread.

There is rugby sevens which is I think, I am correct in saying a version of rugby union.

Sorry if it is off topic, I was just wondering if that fit into the other sports that you listed, as not really worthy of being in the Olympics.

Then you should have mentioned rugby union as im sure i have seen you castigate people for just stating rugby before and not defining union or league.

And as i said, its off topic for a football thread.

Wonder about it somewhere else, this is the football forums.

Fair enough, sorry for the question.

Leicester getting hammered against PSG. Hopefully not a sign of things to come in champions league.

Friendlies are just that, PSg made 11 changes to their team!

Was just a friendly. So is no indication to the new season. While it is always great to win a defeat can help you concentrate on what areas needs to addressing

A win doesnt mean that you are going to sweep aside all before you in the next season. Though fans of other clubs are perhaps thinking otherwise.

Not sure anyone is thinking that tbh.

Bet leicslad had a croissant for breakfast this morning.

So you take it off topic and then moan about bats a couple of posts later

you read my mind pal. Nowt better than having a croissant for breaky. After all we are european

Thought about having a pizza but didnt want to spoil me dinner

Care to show me where i took it off topic?
