2017/18 Premier League & General Football Discussion

[MUSC4EVER]

A goal every 14 minutes!

 

[m8h3r]

Not if you're a defender or goalkeeper! There's been a goal every 4.3 shots - and one every 1.7 shots on target...

Lucky then that none of my fantasy team defenders or keeper came from any teams played so far.

 

[PzR Slim]

Some appalling defending in the first two games, particularly from wide crosses or corners.

Same here - although one of mine has just been sent off. Yay.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Burnley 0-1 up v Chelsea and they have had Cahill sent off, Huddersfield take the lead v Palace...

Edit, now 0-2 Huddersfield!

 

[Famine]

Edit, now 0-2 Huddersfield!

And Chelsea 0-3 Burnley...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Rooney just scored for Everton.

Huddersfield were top of the Premier League for about 10 minutes....

The scenes at Stamford Bridge!!!

 

[Jimlaad43]

I was very close to making Cahill my captain for this week. I'm so glad I didn't

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Huddersfield now 0-3 up!

 

[Phoenix]

Fabregas sent off... Chelsea with 9 men.

I've watched all 3 matches and I feel totally overwhelmed!
Someone take a picture of Huddersfield sitting on top of the table!!

Premier League!

 

[Michelin]

What a start for Morata, goal and assist... and by a few inches that last ball by Marcos Alonso doesn't land on the correct feet of Morata and ties up the game.

We all said that when Leicester lead at the end of the first day 2 years ago.

If Huddersfield go and win the league then I'll become a Huddersfield town fan myself. Would be an incredible feat.

 

[andrea]

This is like some strange mix of football and "the floor is lava."

 

[m8h3r]

*best headers and volleys league in the world is back*

Fair point, we're talking about Premier League 👍

Indeed, it will be an absolute chaos. I will support them, despite being a Leicester City fan. They haven't superstar players to show on the pitch but they seem to have good chemistry all together.

 

[Akmuq]

Remember last year when Hull beat the Champions on the first day?

They go to Spurs next, without Cahill and Cesc.

I hope that statement comes back and bites him in the ass.

Apparently a single loss in the first game of the season has rocketed the manager of the champions just 2 months ago to the most likely to be first sacked manager this year.

 

[Liquid]

Conte hasn't lost the dressing room by blaming his physio for his players faking injuries yet so a Mourinho season is off the cards.

At least, it's not publicly known if the players have a reason to revolt or why Chelsea have failed to improve their squad.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Newcastle 0-0 Spurs at half time and after being spoilt by the exciting stuff in the last two days its back to earth with a bump, not a lot happening, Spurs have been the better team but the Football being played by both isn't great. Still only half time though.

Surprised you didn't mention Southampton - Swansea yesterday, which had literally two shots on target (both Southampton - from 29 attempts!) and also ended 0-0.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Shelvey has just been sent off for Newcastle, stupidest red you'll ever see, tried to get the ball back from Dele Ali for a free kick, decided to stamp on his right foot whilst doing it, the ref was literally five yards away, what a complete plank!

 

[andrea]

Shelvey hahaha, to step on someone when the ref is a yard away.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

0-1 Spurs, Dele Alli with the goal...

Edit, Spurs win 0-2, Davies with the second.

Man United v West Ham up next, I'm a little nervous...

 

[Phoenix]

Was fun as long as it lasted, Huddersfield.

Man United with 4-0 against West Ham.
Lukaku x2, Martial and Pogba with the goals.
