Latest predictions
“It'll be Fulham, Coventry and Man City who go down”
“Tzolis will get 15 goals and 15 assists”
“Left-wing I've got Tzolis for Team of the Season. You lot are about to witness G/A”
“7th Liverpool. I think they're still in a transition period and they've lost Salah [...] that may have a bigger impact on the club than we think”
All Theo's takes
“Emery makes players that you think were just done and shit good again. Like Barkley looks class every time he comes on”
“I don't know what Jaissle has done with Wissa but he looks like the Brentford player again”
“Right now in my team I'd have Groß, Anderson and Rice”
“I think Forest will capitulate. They've lost their best player. I think the manager will have a fisty-cuff with the owner”
“Going forward Aston Villa are fine, it's just defensively they rely on Suzuki too much. You look at Lindelöf and Mings at the back...”
“Tzolis to Arsenal. Only £34m and he looks sharp. Steal, absolute steal!”
“I’m a big fan of this guy, Dorgu. Love him. He’s so mental he causes chaos. He’s definitely a left-winger and not a fullback”
“Garnacho should go La Liga or Seria A. Just get out the Premier League. it's not suited for him”
“Yalcouyé, I think he’s class. I know people rate him at the minute but he could do that Brighton thing where he goes boom”
“You look at the players in the Spurs team and you think surely they can't be shit”
“I don't disagree with Liverpool finishing outside of the top 7”
“Do you not think Arbeloa is trying to play a certain style football that he just doesn’t have the ability to with the players he’s got”
“João Pedro's finishing, it might actually be the best in the league other than Haaland”
“Everyone just knows Madueke's levels. He's just a bench player”
“Sávio is the most overrated player I've ever seen in my life”
“I look at that Villa defence I think ‘God, that is dogshit’”
“Damsgaard goes a little under the radar. If he looked a bit sexy I think he’d get more plaudits”
“Man Utd have a better chance than Liverpool and Chelsea at winning the title”
“Colwill is Chelsea's only shining light in defence I think”
“Rayan, he is extremely hyped and I think he's good, I just think we need to chill out a bit”
“I can't see Glasner staying the whole season”
