Just 4 weeks from today before life under Dick and co kicks off and we will get some answers as to what he has in mind for us, exciting to say the least.
Just realised that doesn't give the players involved in the world cup later stages much chance of making the start of the season.
Isn't it a fifa rule they have to be given a month off between their world cup ending and reporting for preseason training with their clubs?
Needing 2 or 3 weeks to get fit again after their holiday it will mean some players like Hazard KDB Lukaku Pogba Kante won't play until September.
No Stones Walker KDB Kompany to face us on opening day then :-)

Which was why I made comment last week about the Spuds rejoicing that they still had 9 players at the World Cup.

With City 1st and Chelsea our 3rd game in, every little helps. 😂

To be honest I want to see how we fair against everyone’s best otherwise we’ll flatter to deceive, much like England just have.

I'd take a 9pts flattering over a 0 points battering any day of the week mate :-)
Sometimes this things go for you sometimes against you it's maximising the advantage while you've got and limiting the damage when you don't have it that matters come game 38.

Me too 62 and if it works in our favour I’m not going to complain one bit. 😁.

Spurs would have to start the season without Lloris, Rose, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertongen, Dembele, Alli, Dier and Kane. Add the fact that Eriksen, Sanchez and Son will not follow the preseason and barely make it back in time. it might look tricky to get a good starting XI the first rounds.

City must manage without Walker, Stones, Kompany, Mendy, KDB, Sterling, and Delph. With Ederson, Otamendi, Danilo, Fernandihno, D. Silva, B. Silva, Aguero and Jesus barely making it back. This might be an very interesting start of the season.
