Merson tips us to go down

[Hungry Joe]

Let's face it, we're collectively never going to agree on whether the Amex atmosphere is (relatively) good or not. Even the away fans can't agree on that - I've heard everything from 'amazing atmosphere, best we've heard' to 'library' from them. My personal view is that when it really gets going it takes some beating, but it's not a ground design that lends itself to generating that 'immediate' electric atmosphere you quickly get at some grounds (mainly grounds with steeper banked stands, big kop ends, fans closer to the pitch).

 

[BBassic]

I've never minded the atmosphere at the AMEX. My primary reason for going to the game isn't to have a sing-along, it's to watch the football. However, a few beers and an entertaining game and I'll suddenly find my voice.

You are going to hate tomorrow then!

I'll be too pissed to care

Just doing his Super 6 picks on SSN and says it will be an easy win for Leicester, he must be back on the sauce. Funny how he spunked all his career millions away on gambling and now he is on SKY giving out tips

To be fair, there's every reason why it might be - Leicester looked great against Arsenal last Friday and actually it wouldn't surprise me to see them challenging the top 6 or 7 again. Since they won the title, they've sold Kante and bought Slimani , so their squad is pretty settled and barely changed from their title winning season. 3-0 to them really wouldn't surprise me.

As for us, the real tests will be West Brom and Watford, IMO.

It was the way he said it that was more annoying - just completely dismissive - "Easy win for Leicester, Brighton were disappointing last week". No discussion, consideration.
Tbh, I've got Leicester winning 2-1 on my Super Six entry, but I'm not calling it an easy win for Leicester. I think it will be tight, but ultimately home advantage will make the difference.

and a manager who is completely unproven and clueless - he and only he is to blame for losing last Friday. No experienced manager would take off a CM and put another striker on when 3-2 up away from home with 5 left to play in normal time.

Looks like they're gonna lose Mahrez and Drinkwater too

Exactly if he gave his bets as much thought as he did our match then it's no wonder he spunked all his money away

Remember; these are the same ex-playing 'experts' who were in denial re The Foxes title win almost up until they won it! So naturally we're now going to be humiliated by Jamie Vardy and co. It's catch phrase punditry, say what you see, for the bias, elitist and not the most well informed/read.

Again, naturally, we don't really see it that way.

It's time for the boys to ram Merson's words down his rather fat gullet.

Albion.

Is that four times you've met him now?

Seeing double in the same establishment as Merson, around 2 a.m. ish perhaps?

Tipped Bradford to be relegated though

I really dont care what any of the pundits say!

Merson’s final table from pre season.


SS Pundits now- to be relegated.

Paul Merson- WB, Udders, Stains.

Charlie Nicholas- WB, Udders Wet Sham.

Phil Thompson- WB, Stains, Udders.

Matt Le Tissier - WB, Stoke, Udders.

They each say West Brom and Huddersfield are doomed, with Southampton battling Stoke and West Ham for the final spot.

But we all know these pundits don’t know shit!

I assume you're on course for getting 18 of the 20 places correct?

 

[Wozza]

If anyone wants to discuss football with Paul Merson, he’s appearing with fellow Arsenal pros Perry Groves and Pay Parlour at Hastings White Rock in Oct….

Of course.


Although, I do not get paid handsomely for my football knowledge .
And what I was getting at, is that we shouldn’t start getting carried away, because they now think we’re safe.
