Very sad! Overdone it on holiday reading between the lines?

RIP Kevin Campbell. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...rmer-arsenal-and-everton-striker-dies-aged-54

Very sad, liked him as a player at Everton. I'd read a few days ago he was seriously ill.
RIP Kevin.

RIP Kevin Campbell, good player and really nice bloke. No age either, I heard he was ill but didn’t realize it was so serious.

Sad times at the Den. We lost our Chairman in a car accident last July and now our goalkeeper. Just when I thought it was a bad as it could get I hear about Kevin Campbell’s passing. A truly awful day.

R.I.P. Matija.
R.I.P. Kevin.

Had a colleague at work die suddenly last weekend, he was only 55. Certainly puts thing into perspective.

The first one is an easy will against lesser opponents, but the other four, i’m not so sure

I guess I forgot that Bournemouth, Wolves and Spurs are good now!
Last year we had Aston Villa (H), Man City (A), Liverpool (H), Brighton (A), Brentford (H)

Ohh bugger.

I’ve got lucky or as you say maybe not so as it’s my eldest daughter’s 21st birthday party on the 17th Aug.

 

[RoyleBlue]

Easy start for my lot - Liverpool home then Man. City away!

 

[Brown Bottle]

Steve Cooper confirmed as new Leicester City manager. Should be a good fit imo and I hope he does well, harshly treated at Forest I thought.

Cheers BB

Given you can lose around three games to win the league, Arsenal could easily lose three of the first five. Bring it on.
