Gameweek 1 Discussion

pjohnson

Seen this posted as an idea in the idea thread thingy so thought I'd see how it goes:

Discussion for the "lesser" matches this week. AKA the ones that wont get an individual thread!

Chelsea vs. Burnley
Crystal Palace vs. Huddersfield
Everton vs. Stoke
Southampton vs. Swansea
West Brom vs. Bournemouth
Newcastle vs. Spurs

KaiserGunner

I'll probably watch the Crystal Palace v Huddersfield match. Always interested to see how the newly promoted teams get on. Interesting also with Frank De Boer in charge of a potentially exciting Palace side too.

GreNoLi

I'll dig up a stream for newcastle spurs, interested to see how everton perform as well.

Would this be the first time ever that the PL champions from the year before did not feature as a UK live game on the first weekend?

I know it's live in the ROI but not in the UK.

It's a strange one alright. I'd have thought that the champions first home game would carry more appeal than Watford v Liverpool anyway.

GreNoLi

Newcastle play spurs tomorrow so everton stoke it is, the back 3 is the new back 4 minus one.

Any of these on TV?

Gary Cahill red card.

That_Guy

Gary Cahill sent off.

Clumsy enough but not sure about a straight red.

Johner

Harsh enough I thought but shouldn't be diving in like that.

That_Guy

Craig Pawson is gonna have to be escorted via underground secret passage.

GreNoLi

Rooney should be right up top with Barclay in behind ,when he doesn't get bought, as he does not have the legs.

Anybody watching Chelsea on Sky Sp HD noticing some close ups look a little out of focus?

Great build up play for the goal.

What is going on at Chelsea!

Chelsea potentially top after final day 16/17, and bottom after opening day 17/18. Madness.

Think he will do well this year for Everton. Move made sense

blueser

Luiz lucky not to get his walking papers there.

GreNoLi

WTF! chelsea being battered.

Adamocovic

Been watching Everton Stoke, not the best of games but nicely worked goal.

What's going on with Chelsea? Only saw they were down 3-0 at home

Andersonisgod

The recruitment team need to take a long hard look at themselves, they've left Conte horribly bare for the first period of the season.

Conte also probably regretting how he handled the Costa situation, a world class striker going to waste and here Chelsea are starting Batshyuai and Boga.
