EPL Matchday 1

[Elmer_Hauser]

Happy to play the Bin Dippers first up away, Bielsa's Boys have thrived on nearly every challenge thrown at us. Plus we have a pretty cushy end to the season. Pretty confident we stay up.

I think we’ll beat Leeds 8-0. Bielsa to be proven well out of his depth at the top level, and Rodrigo to retire immediately after the game out of shame. Ben White will sign a new long term deal at Brighton too.

OK, can we relegate Leeds?

FYI I will stop using that term ' Bin Dippers' against Liverpool and its supporters (a team i am do actuallu like) and with all due respect northmelbournefc I honestly was not aware of the negative connotations with that slur with regards to mentally ill and poverty stricken people (just did a quick google search)

Although I feel like you probably overreacted a bit and am a bit rustled by some of your sledging towards myself, I do accept now why you were so angry/upset about it.

Hanging crap on poor/mentally ill people is the last thing I want to do.

Call me naive, I genuinely did not know the negative/toxic connotations behind that slur, just been so used to reading it on various Facebook and other football forums I have perused over the years.

I am honestly not trying to save face or avoid an infraction, I just never bothered looking into the negative connotations about that slur until now

Fair play Elmer_Judd, I think that’s a pretty mature response. If only others on this board in the past had the grace and humility to educate themselves and progress as individuals instead of continuing with their offensive posting/running away.

Elmer is trying his best to be one of those well 'ard Leeds fans bless him. Cut him some slack.

I don't think the term is associated with the mentally ill. It's banter that Scousers are poor and a bit scummy. It comes from the song that nearly every set of fans sing when they play Liverpool, even by fans that are from areas as poor and scummy as Liverpool.

In your Liverpool slums,
You look in the dustbin for something to eat,
You find a dead cat and you think it's a treat

In your Liverpool slums,
Your mum's on the game and your dad's in the nick,
You can't get a job 'cos you're too ****ing thick

It doesn't feel that long ago that we were drawing 19/20 to a close... which of course it wasn't. Last season, despite the pause, was an incredible gift from my perspective, and I hope it's the beginning of a run of titles. We have the players and manager to win multiple titles, we just need to keep pushing. I'm expecting a cagey opening game against Leeds, but a win nonetheless.

I reckon Leeds will be well up for MD1. Gonna be a tough game.

They certainly have everything to play for. I think they'll stay up.

Great to have the Leeds fans back on board, along with their passion, enthusiasm for the game & their banter....a long-standing rival with a great history too.

What’s funny about laughing at poor people? Must say I don’t get that one.

It's fun to laugh about poor people to some on here.

It's banter. Like I said, even fans that are from poor areas sing it when they play Liverpool.

You could always tape it & have a lie-in.

No way

No way.

Should make for interesting viewing, seeing how Frankie brings his new-found 'Galacticos' together.

The last part of that is hardly surprising. Leeds last played in the PL in 2004 and there were some older keepers going around back then.

What year do you think it is?
