The Guv'nor!

 

West Ham were truly truly awful. Didn't deserve to equalise at all in the match. Chelsea not that impressive either, should have been a much more comfortable game for them against a poor side.

Chelsea were very bitey in the tackle, on the verge of going overboard all game. Went down easily at times too. Not an overly encouraging start for them but 3 points is 3 points.

 

Ballague.

 

I need to stop watching Chelsea matches. I just get angry.

 

Shit match, shit officiating

Thought the same. Chelsea were lucky to finish with eleven and West Ham were lucky to not have more injuries outside of Ayew.

 

Weird. ter Stegen is injured. ESPNFC says Bravo will sign for City, then come back to Barca and play until ter Stegen is fit. Which just seems odd af.

Bravo is the better keeper, but ter Stegen is younger and a big push this summer was to make the squad younger so I guess I get it. tS is a fine keeper, but his howlers are worse than Valdes' big ones used to be and Pique/Mascherano don't play as confidently in front of him. It'll be interesting, whatever happens. Curious who we'll buy, too, because Masip is abysmal.

 

Lord Bendtner should return, just for the bants.

 

Preston home to Derby County today, we've lost the first two games this season, and our main man Joe Garner is on the brink of joining Rangers. Great start so far.

 

Hugo out for 4 weeks

 

holy crap, aguero's penalty saved and the rebound by nolito (edit: twitter says it was silva, but looked too tall to me) off the bar.

champions league is back!

 

Oh shit! Forgot it was Champions League night!

 

the font/numbers on these otherwise pretty city kits are horrendous. good finish by silva.

 

omg aguero what happened to you

 

Of course, he misses two penalties then scores that beauty of a goal.

 

I put him in my fantasy team, that usually does it.

 

UCL fantasy? or are your powers just that good?

 

My powers are that good, I also killed ayew this week and got Watson sent off for Watford.

 

Preston lost 1-0 tonight, 3 straight losses in a row. Wooooo.

 

Three straight draws for Northampton in League One. At least it's consistent.

 

It's alright we're keeping you off the bottom with just 2 matches played. Tomorrow we'll ship some more goals to make our GD even worse.

 

He seems to have recovered nicely

 

Cracking bit of trivia here that's harder than it sounds;

6 capital cities have teams that have won the Champions League / European Cup, name the cities and teams.

 

Madrid, London, Paris, Lisbon, and Amsterdam. My guess on the sixth would be an unexpected eastern European nation.

 

Paris, nope. Rest are good!

 

I know Belgrade is one.
