2014/15 Football (aka soccer)

[Puma]

On the eve of the new Premier League season we have a new thread!

A place to talk about all things football related - all leagues, all countries, all the diving and bad calls.

Can't wait until tomorrow when we play Southampton, can't wait until my first trip to Anfield since May. Come on you Reds!

In the meantime

Come on Swansea, Leicester and Crystal Palace. Since they're playing Man Utd, Everton and Arsenal respectively today.

Gonna be a good opening day. I reckon Arsenal will go top/

I wish I could be there too. Enjoy the experience for me

I love watching Swansea!

I love watching United Lose. Swansea is kinda irrelevant to me. Midfield and Defense still needs work for Man United.

Yup. Still need to strengthen.

Oh that was a brilliant start, I so enjoy watching Man U lose. Well done Swansea.

First Home Defeat on Opening Weekend in a long time.

You could have waited till the last thread hit 5,000 posts!

All kidding aside, it is a glorious thing to wake up to seeing that Arsenal had won and United had lost.

My only regret is that I slept through it due to my first heavy bout of insomnia that I had experienced in months on end.

Nonetheless, I am very pleased with these results.

The only two things that worry me is that it might convince Wenger that we're fine as we are and he won't splash on a defensive mid, and this might also be the catalyst that inspires Ed Woodward to spend more. I heard United might be closing in on Benatia now, and as someone who has watched him in Serie A, the prospect of someone that talented playing for United is frightening indeed.

Not as one sided as I would have thought but happy with Liverpool's result.

Also happy my fantasy squad is holding 3rd place

Honestly Its one of the things that movie back to the east coast makes me happy about. I will no longer have to wakeup super early on the weekend to catch games. I can get up at 10 and still watch the games just fine.

I'm satisified with 2nd place at the moment, hehe

Since 1972. Read about that in the local sports section this morning.

Ah Feels Good. Anyway u know I dont think Sterling gets enough hype compared to Shaw or Barkely and he is an English player who actually deserves it which is rare.
