While most are talking about Liverpool and ManC, my prediction is Chelsea win the PL and maybe even the Champions League this year. Sarri already has them playing Sarriball and as the team gets more in synch I think they dominate. Watching his teams are like watching a video game. I am looking forward to what they might do to West Ham this weekend.
I agree they look good and strong this season, but as FA has said lack of goalscorer means City again. Liverpool will be in the mix too but still think the boys in sky blue
Man City's season hinges on de Bruyne returning
Respectfully disagree, huge player but City are good enough to cope. If David Silva was also out for a bit too i would worry. Anyone else would struggle, Liverpool no Salah Chelsea no Hazard
Think the bottom 2 could well stay like that until May
Definitely. In fact, I seriously wonder if Cardiff and Huddersfield - 2 of the poorest teams to ever grace the Premier League - will win a game all season. (Two 0-0 draws when they play each other).
Watched the last 15 minutes of the Cardiff v Burnley game. Its pretty dire stuff.
Seriously wonder what is the point of Cardiff going up. Their fans will be lucky to see them win a couple of times this year. Most of the time they will get stuffed.
All completely pointless them going up if they are not going to give it a go trying to stay up.
At the risk of sounding jealous, believe me I'm not, but is it me or are the mics turned up next to the Palace fans? Potentially to fuel to Palace supporter love in.
You can hear individual Palace fans being really loud, but can hardly hear the home fans when the whole ground is singing/booing etc?
Shocking result for Fulham though. Not been impressed with their transfer dealing this summer, too many new players and not enough continuity in their team selection.
Arsenal aren't Top 2 contenders, but are serious Top 4 contenders. It's a bizarre aspect of modern football, as 4th used to be nothing, but the battle to finish in the top 4 will be really competitive this season.
Sarri has done a fantastic job in such a short time with this Chelsea squad. Their one touch pacy passing and possession retention is a completely different level to last season.

City must be feeling pretty glad they missed out on him and his ridiculous wages.

B'mouth looking extremely sharp going forwards although it's a very stretched game.
B'mouth goalscorer Brooks looks excellent while Zaha is having a mare for Palarse - couldn't trap a bag of cement so far!

It sounds really weird.
You may well be right though.
Pen for B'mouth... scored.
Got a goal that was offside .
There is nothing like the Carra/Neville combo.
Any idea when Neville is back?
Looking forward to Liverpool v City later
Fuckers. Knew it wouldnt be long but christ, not this soon.
6 straight wins in the PL and 9 in all competitions. Sigh.
West ham, Cardiff, Newcastle, Everton, Watford and Fulham.
Brentford at home in the cup.
Vorskla and Qarabag in Europe.
The only 2 decent sides they've played this season (City and Chelsea) have both beaten them.

Shaping up to be a decent title race.
