Hi there 🤖 👋

Delight. Ecstasy. Joy. Thrill. Sorrow. Dejection. Agony. Disappointment. Edgy. Nervy. Tense. Anxious. Get set, the emotional roller-coaster is back! With the 2014-15 Premier League season set to kick-off in just a few days from now and the transfer window heated up with the managers still on the look out to fill the gaping holes within their squads, this seems an ideal time to preview the season ahead and make some (rather useless) predictions which may start looking rather silly come the end of the season, but do hell with it....

The above report says that Chelsea’s collective, progressive thinking can steer them closer to the EPL title — a trophy they have not won since Antonio Conte’s first season at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have engineered some fantastic business over the last few weeks, having already secured the services of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. The signing of the prolific duo indicates the bold statement Lampard and his side are putting forth, as they snapped up both of them even before the inception of the transfer window....

The Premier League title, the final qualifiers for the European places, and the last relegated team will all be determined on the final day. Manchester City (1st, 90 points) are only one point in front of Liverpool at the top of the table, but they control their own destiny in the Premier League title race. A win over Aston Villa on the final day and they would beat out Liverpool (2nd, 89 points), who have to win and hope Villa pull off an unlikely result....

On Wednesday, New York State Attorney General Letitia James filed the civil suit against Trump and three of his adult children, Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka. The 214-page lawsuit seeks repayment of the money from allegedly fraudulent practices and to remove each of the Trumps from their current positions in the Trump Organization. The filing alleges that the family enriched itself over a 20-year period with “numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentations,” as well as “grossly” inflating the former president’s net worth by billions of dollars....

In an interview with the BBC, Klopp revealed his admiration for one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players and described a chance encounter with the legendary EPL midfielder during a walk in the park. The German manager also explained the mindset of his players as the EPL prepares for a potential transition to relative normalcy. Klopp was also candid about his Liverpool squad’s preparations ahead of a EPL restart in the future and stated that the unexpected break and leveled the playing field to a considerable extent....

On the other hand, Fulham faces an uphill task considering their recent patchy form which slots them in 14th place with one win, a draw and two losses so far in their first four matches. Striker Darren Bent is still suffering with an injury, so Dimitar Berbatov is set to start as Fulham’s only striker at Stamford Bridge. Let’s have a look at what stats have to offer for Chelsea vs Fulham...

In case you didn’t know… A product of Newcastle United’s youth academy, Carroll signed his first professional contract with the Magpies in 2011. The Englishman played 80 league games during his first spell with the club, scoring 31 goals in the process. The 30-year-old left The Magpies to join Liverpool for £35 million in 2011, a deal which made him the most expensive English player at the time. However, his move to the Reds didn’t go as planned and he managed to score just six goals in his 44 Premier League appearances for the Merseysiders....

The Senegalese, who moved to Naples from Genk in 2014, has established himself as one of the best central defenders in world football. His phenomenal displays in the Serie A and the UEFA Champions League have convinced EPL clubs of his quality. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have perhaps been the longest-standing admirers of the defender. The record EPL title-holders have had a big-money bid rejected in the past due to the notorious Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis’ reluctance to sell....

Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses will be going for their first major senior title against a side who know all too well what it takes to win this championship. Germany have won this particular tournament a record-breaking eight times. There’s also the sub-plot of the Golden Boot, with England’s Beth Mead and Germany’s Alexandra Popp both going into the showpiece on six goals each.

Liverpool secured their sixth European Cup with a win over Tottenham in the final in Madrid in June. But they opted not to parade the trophy on Friday, when they opened their Premier League campaign with a 4-1 victory over Norwich at Anfield. Asked about that decision, Klopp was seemingly unaware of the possibility, but said he would not have done it anyway. “Nobody told me I have to. Is that what you do usually?...

De Gea ensured Luis Enrique’s first game in charge of La Roja yielded three points when he made a superb save to deny Marcus Rashford a possible equaliser in the first half and was involved in a controversial moment when England were denied a share of the points in injury time. Danny Welbeck thought he had made it 2-2 when he put the ball in Spain’s net, only to have the goal ruled out for a foul on De Gea as the keeper attempted to bring the ball to ground....

Long Beach School District Superintendent Jay R. Smith sent a letter to parents of students at the Long Beach Middle School in Mississippi, notifying the new quarantine procedures. The letter states that the quarantine would begin on Wednesday, September 30 and last for two weeks, with students allowed to return on Wednesday, October 13. “Currently, 15 students have tested positive and 165 are quarantined,” Smith wrote in the letter, while noting that these number equate to 35 percent of students being affected by the virus....

While at GDC, the fine folks at IndustryGamers had a chance to sit down and talk with none other than Epic Games’ President Mike Capps. It was previously reported that Capps would love to bring the Gears trilogy to the PlayStation 3, but that’s not all the news that came from the brief powwow held at this year’s GDC. When Capps was asked if Epic had plans for Gears of War post-launch, he seemed to think that the franchise still had plenty of other stories to tell....

For the uninitiated, FTL: Faster Than Light is a roguelike set in space that was developed by Subset Games and was released in 2012. While some have taken issue with FTL: Faster Than Light for its high level of difficulty, other fans consider it to be among the best space exploration video games, and now a new group of players will get to experience it for free thanks to the Epic Games Store’s ongoing promotion....

The Epic Store is free to sign up, and many of the free games are for PC users. Once the games are added to the players’ libraries, then they can keep them indefinitely. The introduction of the free games, which reached three free games in the first week of January, was the first big challenge towards Valve’s PC monopoly. Some are saying that the release of so many free games is a way to overlook some of Epic Games’ many controversies....

The game has players control a massive destroyer gunship. It takes aim at the classic trope of space combat simulators with tiny reticules and blows that formula apart. Rebel Galaxy was released in 2015 by the five-person team at Double Damage Games, including Eric Schaefer and Travis Baldree, who boast designer credits on Diablo, Diablo 2, and Fate. Rebel Galaxy and its sequel, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, are already on the Epic Games Store, and it is possible that the free release of the original will boost the sequel’s sales....
