Bournemouth will be the first opponents for Mourinho's Man Utd and then the first visitors to the Olympic Stadium. Could be two televised matches to start the season.

Managerial Changes:

 

Jose Mourinho- Man United

Ronald Koeman- Everton

Antonio Conte- Chelsea (After Euro 2016)

Pep Guardiola- Man City (On 1st July)

Walter Mazzarri- Watford (On 1st July)

 

Southampton looking for a new manager after Koeman agreed to become Everton's new manager.

 

 

 

 

Liverpool's start to the season is absolutely brutal.

Surprised to see Leicester down as low as 7th favourites.

And they were the last team LVG played! Fun little parallel.

 

I've not gone into war for tickets as I have season ticket and no interest in the away matches for this year.

I think Bournemouth was Mourinho's last Chelsea game as well, although he may have had one more after that defeat.

As expected the seats for match days at Old Trafford are flying off the shelves like no man's business. I'm just waiting for the times and dates to be officially confirmed before trying to book tickets as I would like to go for a Saturday 3PM match. Looking on the Man Utd website today there was a queue for 30-60 minutes before you could even have a look at which seats were left.

Yeah the Leicester 2-1 defeat was his last game in charge!

 

We play Chelsea & Liverpool away in back to back matches in October I think, massive games for Mourinho those.

Tough start for Liverpool!

 

Funny Leicester are 25/1 to start lol.

I still fancy Leicester making a top 4 finish for the 2016/17 season....a niggling voice in my noggin says Hull City in the top 10 at season's end....

Arsenal at 11/2 is a really good price. If they sign another striker I'm sold on that, regardless of whether Sanchez stays or goes.

Southampton have confirmed Claude Puel as their new manager. He took Lyon to the 2010 Champions League semi-final and took Nice to 4th in Ligue 1 last season.

 

 

 

Decent pedigree there then, wonder if they can continue the Southampton cycle & improve even on last year.

Really pleased to hear of Luke Shaw's return to football after such a long absence.

Great to hear he's back. Now I just hope his team have a bad season :D :lol:

Half our squad was missing and we still played better than the majority of last season. Phil f***ing Jones was on the pitch and we didn't suck. I can't remember the last time that useless lump was on a pitch and we didn't suck.

 

So if I were you Roo I'd no bet on us having a bad year.
