About damn time.. screw that team!

I said their season was a fluke...  They are bottom feeders club

anybody see Pogba today? me neither

cautiously optimistic because of how well City started last season and we all know what happened... but I really love the style of football that Pep has installed. if not for Bravo's miscue that was as dominant a performance in a derby as I could have possibly hoped for.

I called it before the season started...  Manchester United is packed with slow physical players.  They will struggle against teams with quick passing, counter attack.  Today was a perfect example.

Yea, Leicester had a great run last year, but they were always frauds. Everyone else in the league just sort of sucked last season.

They looked below average in every game this year so far.  Mahrez flair is gone.

Very high scoring Saturday so far... lots of good games. 

[Ja Rhule]

Wow... Manchester United is really struggling... Loosing to Feyenoord and Watford...

[Raskle]

But, but.. they've got the chosen one, who spent a ridiculous amount of money in the transfer window.. how can they lose??

 

Now I just need Chelsea to start tanking again with them, and I'll have a happy year so far.

Chelsea has looked average so far... they got Arsenal next week so that will be a real challenge.

We looked bad the last 2 games. Need to find more offense but can't push forward because Cahill and Ibrahimovic can't defend. Need to move azpilicueta to RB and bring in Alonso at LB. Luiz and Terry at CB's. Still limited, wish we could have moved Matic and got a better off threat to help Hazard and Costa. 

 

Kante looks great, enjoy watching him play. Just need more firepower and I'm not thrilled with Oscar, Willian, Matic and Pedro as the supporting cast.

Arsenal got the best D in years now with addition of Xhaka and Mustafi.  Next week will be a good challenge against Chelsea.

PS: Xhaka first goal :p

Harry Kane out 2-3 months with ligament damage.  This is huge.

[Raskle]

This ref is poo... misses three painfully obvious penalties committed by Middlesborough. Gives them foul kick after foul kick, and a yellow for Walker when it should have been foul committed by their winger, until they finally convert a goal, and now they're back in it.

 

This game should 5-0 and out of reach. Total fuging bullshit.
