Whole lot looked like handbags to me.

Exactly that, just pathetic behaviour and the referee just had no choice.
Instead of a ban, the players should be made to play the next game wearing a nappy or watch the next game from a pitchside cot.
I can't think of a current player I despise more than Neymar.

Neymar claims he was racially abused by Alvaro (apparently called him a monkey). If true his reaction and the reactions of his team-mates were absolutely justified and it should be Alvaro being vilified, not Neymar.

It’s just cool to hate Neymar.
Given his reputation as a tosser I'd be taking his accusation with a pinch of salt until it's backed up by someone else. Front the footage you can see he was red carded for punching someone in the back of the head who was arguing with a different player. So not as a direct reaction to anything said to him.

So called hard men rolling over on the floor .
It’s embarrassing they should be ashamed of themselves.
Wasn’t a decent punch thrown all night.

Some hit that from James. Thought Brighton deserved the equaliser (albeit via some ropey keeping) because they've been the better side by far. But James was having none of that!

Lamptey looks class, he's having Alonso on toast. Loftus-Cheek was terrible, not surprised he's gone off now.

Lamptey and White at the back look very good for Brighton, Lamptey has been superb. So many talented young English RBs.

Agree on Loftus-Cheek, he was dreadful. Havertz reminds me a lot of Ozil based this display, and not in a good way. Not doubting his quality as think he'll prove his worth as the season goes on but been a very poor debut. Nowhere near physical enough, knocked off the ball too easily, not tracking back or tracking runners at set pieces, not pressing well enough, been very poor.

Brighton are a lovely team to watch but badly need someone to score goals for them. They need their own Danny Ings. Another one here who is full of praise for the young right back, Lamptey. What a standout game he had. How often is the man of the match a right back by some degree?

Chelsea have a heck of a squad now but will be hamstrung until they get a keeper that is up to the job.

Blimey, that will be some window for them. A good number of players will be getting splinters there this season.

How would you feel about Rice going? Would it give Moyes the money he needs or will it weaken you too much? You could always get 2-3 Chelsea players on loan for the season as part of the deal ?

Rumours are the asking price is 80 million with 60 being the upfront fee rest add ins

Think Moyes wanted Barkley included in the deal but they value him at 30 million so gets lower cash to do replacements with

Personally I don't mind if he goes or stays. Prefer him to stay ofc but if we can use the money and actually buy replacements

We need a CB , a lb and a RB

We also have soucek who is a boil in the bag rice replacement

Bale being linked to a move back to Spurs hope it goes ahead as we need something to give us hope of some progress.

After watching the first game it’s not looking good.

Apparently there is something in the rumour for once this time (I watch Alasdair Gold on YouTube who actually has some knowledge of the goings on at Spurs). I'm a bit torn on it really, obviously we could use him, but if he comes in and we do well it'll just be everyone saying we were crap without Bale and he just bails us out every time, just like 8 years ago. Shouldn't complain I guess - we look dead in the water otherwise.
