Casper determined to use the wrong hand there.

That might liven Leicester up for the second half. Some result for Hull and Mike Phelan if they can hold on to this

BoJack Horseman

Outside the box?

Bobby Baccala

Liverpool

Leicester get some amount of penos

Unearthly

Chelsea

Outside the box. Mike Dean useless

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Thanks Mike Dean, good to have you back.

Chelsea

The big sides always get them decisions via the small teams :pac:

Darkglasses

Manchester United

Dreadful decision

Skylinehead

Leicester are all over the place.

GreNoLi

Ah Christ...

BoJack Horseman

Yep; they seemed to get a disproportionate amount of them last season.

Bobby Baccala

Liverpool

Entertaining game so far.

When you have a direct running game like Leicester last year it's not that much of a shock.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Need a Kante clone.

Hull 1500/1 for the league, don't miss out this time around

Exactly, when Liverpool won 13 (I think) in the 2013/14 Suarez/Sturridge season people were moaning like morons apparently unaware of the most likely circumstances to win a peno.

Mike Dean starting the season as he means to go on ... awfully.

Hull look comfortable.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Bah.

Just hope leicester don't get relegated.

Harry Palmr

Hull for the league then...

Meant to post this here earlier. Posted it elsewhere, this is what I guessed the table would look like at the end. Can't be bothered to fill out the template others filled in. Should move Hull up a spot perhaps

3 Chelsea
4 Arsenal
5 Liverpool
6 Spurs
7 Stoke
8 Leicester
9 Everton
10 Southampton
11 Swansea
12 West Ham
13 Bournemouth

I don't think it will happen but I wonder has it ever happened in a major league that a team got relegated after winning the league?

A promoted team winning the league in the season after promotion has happened a couple of times (Nottingham Forest and Kaiserslautern).

Man City in the thirties are the only top-flight English example I believe.

Should be a good game between everton and spurs.

Barclay scores on opening day again.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Great stuff.Barkley's in my fantasy team and I tipped him to have a great season earlier in the thread.I'm on fire today.

Spurs still Spurs; there's something comforting in that

HalloweenJack

Surprised to see Givrn out there, though Butland was back already and didn't Hughes go for someone else over Given past year after Butland's injury?

Watching the Everton Spurs game. Poor goal to concede, it wasn't even a very fast ball in, just Spurs not having a clue.

NIMAN

Chelsea

Butland still injured I read earlier.

Bobby Baccala

Liverpool

Fair challenge by Kane

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Garbage decision against Kane.

Mushy

Not even a challenge by Kane, awful call

Agent Coulson

Leicester

Negredo with his first for Boro.


Boro made some very clever signings I have to say.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Alli's general control of the ball is fairly suspect.

Chelsea

Given booked for mouthing to the ref be interesting to see if its kept up

HalloweenJack

Gueye looking very good for Everton so far. I don't remember seeing much of him last year, it couldn't have been hard to impress in that Villa side.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Lloris off injured.

Niska

Watching Soccer Saturday through facebook is better than on the telly, as you get the ad breaks but don't get the ads.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Spurs and their brainless fullbacks need replacing.

AdamD

Deulefeu is squandering so many opportunities

Like the look of it. Handy the way they keep the PL scores on the bottom right of the screen.

SantryRed

Roger East is an awful referee, I genuinely don't think he understands football.

HalloweenJack

Well worked goal for Spurs.

Delofeu will be kicking himself. He's done well but his end product has been woeful. A bit better and Everton would be well ahead.

Manchester United

56 minutes into the game the SKy commentator says "Delle Alli, the no 20, just wants to be known as Delle", after calling him Delle Alli all game, just then and everytime afterwards.

GreNoLi

Manchester United

Good point for spurs, new striker looks decent.

Harry Palmr

Pardew out!

Guardiola has City set up very strange at the back.
