And, we're off.....2016/17

[fundy]

Every big decision gone arsenals way and still lucky to scrape a 0-0 draw thanks to Cechs late save, another horrid performance, carrying far too much dead weight far too many comfy in their roles without actually performing, no leadership, defense as creaky as ever, big names look barely interested and reliant on a couple of individuals to turn the game. Coquelin shouldve seen red and Leicester shouldve had a penalty near the end. Will anything change before the window closes? of course not lol

Not a bad performance at all against the champions.

I agree Coquelin was fortunate to stay on but I think 0-0 was a fair result.

Kos was immense today and thought Holding did well too.

Kos was indeed outstanding, he was pretty much on his own though (bar Cechs late save). Not sure how 0-0 is fair when we shouldve had 10 men for 30 mins and they have a clear pen turned down though.

Honest review, 2 things to add, I would tell Wallcott he is not to shoot only pass when in the box and Holding was lucky that free kick came to nothing near the end.

Yeah but it might have been more dangerous if Ulloa got past him so took one for the team there a bit.

Or stay on your feet and tackle properly rather than diving in on the edge of the box!

Anyway, can we all agree now that if Man U win the league, they've bought it.

Saves any arguments later, then.:thup:

Bought it with free transfer?

Hate it when owners try to buy success :rofl:

Apparently it was all the referee's fault for not sending Costa off, according to Tony Gale. Unfortunately, judging by the comments on a Chelsea forum, he may have a point……….

Oh dear Diego. That's embarrassing and pathetic. Cut it out. Now. :angry:

Quality player when he's in the mood.
But at times I see him as more of a liability.
That dive today was pathetic & should have been a 2nd yellow.

 

[Liverbirdie]

Agreed...or if Citeh win it ...... Sad the way its gone really. Dont think there will be another Leicester for some years....

Stop being so bloody reasonable - where's the fun in that?

Thats one expensive Chinese that.......as Dave Whelan may say.

It was.

However, he is some "baddie" though.

We nearly got him the year before you did. Him and Suarez would have played together for a year - I think I might have booed and hissed at them.

Another Liverpool fan (armchair) keeps slating another team for NOT trying to "buy the league title".
No pleasing you lot 🙄😬

Dive was laughable at the time, crowd baying for him to be booked. I think no-one, including me, realised that he was booked earlier!

How can grown men not feel embarrassed when they see replays of themselves acting like that?

 

[john0]

Good win for the Boro, nice to be playing league derbies again.....especially when we win them 😀

Can we describe the majority of professional footballers as grown men?

The West Ham goalscorer "thinks" that might be the first Premiership goal at the new stadium. Well, it's the first Premier League game, and there's only one goal, so it's a definite maybe!!

i wonder if I could donate him a brain cell so he has a pair to work with?

Fair point.
