*Official* English Football Season 2013-14

[Scaly piscine]

Good old CDMs livening up a dull day of football.

Great opening day, Arsenal result was funny and I can't wait for the Di Canio rant tonight.

Salop beat Swindle, shame.

Nice to see Villa get off to a good start, but I put Koscielny in my fantasy team fs.

 

[Nate]

Haha, that Liverpool game was so dramatic.

Arsenal. :/

Who'd have thought that fat Sam of all people would relaunch Joe Cole's career

And again. WAFG.

Welbeck doubles last season's League goal tally in one game. Class finish.

Ha ha, gem of a tweet from RoM:

"Some talking about how Rooney didn't celebrate. Do you blame him? He's gutted. He's been trying to chip the keeper for 5 ****ing years."

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah hopefully it'll give him a bit of confidence, if he gets his finishing up to standard he'll be so, so good.

 

[roseboy64]

It begins.

Roseboy to defend him in 3...

Have no opinion on it really. Would rather he didn't if pushed though.

Yeah hopefully it'll give him a bit of confidence, if he gets his finishing up to standard he'll be so, so good.

He should. He was horrendous at it last year but he's generally been a good finisher so expect it to improve. Also, Valencia didn't look rubbish today so that's good.

 

[Uppercut]

Valencia was OK. Carrick and Cleverley were poor, so we didn't have much possession, but fortunately Vidic+Ferdinand were immense. We're such a different team when they play, invite more pressure but deal with it better and we can play on the break a lot more. I think Moyes will prefer that, he was quite conservative at Everton (although for some reason they got very expansive in his final year).

 

[Burgey]

Spurs won't finish above Arsenal.

Won't have to do much to start better than them.

 

[grecian]

I actually think it maybe not a total disaster for Arsenal, I reckon if they'de won, Arsene would have slid into complacency, but he really needs to buy now, and arsenal really need it.

 

[Burgey]

Fair point that.

As for United, thought they were ok, mind you their preseason form was gash. I didn't think Cleverley was appropriately named, but I may be mistaken after all.

Bad day for the Whites, losing to Crewe 2-1. Lucky Corrin is out of the country.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Good to be on the board early.

 

[grecian]

C'mon Dean Moxey do it for the family.

 

[The Sean]

Chelsea having a training session here - could be a cricket score if they can be bothered.

I haven't followed their pre-season closely, but is Mata not fully fit? Can't see why he'd be on the bench otherwise.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

This coliyr commentator for the Chelsea game is a bit prone to hyperbole isn't he? talking about Chelsea stamping a warning to City and United. They've played 15 minutes of a 38 game season mate calm your hard on.
