Premier League match discussion thread | 2014/15

So, because of the World Cup, this summer seems to have gone much quicker than usual and the Premier League is back already.

Saturday:
Man Utd Vs Swansea - 12:45pm
Leicester v Everton
QPR v Hull

West Brom v Sunderland
West Ham v Tottenham
Arsenal v Crystal Palace - 5:30pm

Sunday:
Liverpool v Southampton - 1:30pm
Newcastle v Man City - 4pm

Monday
Burnley v Chelsea - 8pm

One thread for 380 matches is a bit much.

Pussy.

Stayed up to watch Manchester United vs Swansea because google said it was going to start at 3:45. 

It's already  4:25

Does Paul Merson pride himself on being a moron? He seems to flaunt his ignorance like a badge of honor.

10 minutes into their first game, and the United fans are singing about Gerrard Pathetic.

There certainly won't be any United related songs at Anfield, tomorrow.

This has to be one of the overall poorest starting lineups in United history.

1-0 Swansea.

Pretty sure Bony hasn't touched the ball at all.

Just went back and watched it on the TV.

Captain fantastic 1-1

Aloysius

Man United 1-2 Swansea

LVG picking up where Moyes left it, breaking records. First time United have lost their home opener since the 70s.

Going to finish 3rd, apparently.

LVG, football genuis.

That was as bad as the dross Moyes served up

They just don't have the players anymore. Crap squad.

Give it 3 months, Gaal is a notoriously slow starter   

Dat knee-jerk

At least Moyes seems like a decent chap, watching this Paul Merton lookalike fail has been much more satisfying so far.

It might have been better had United put in a performance and result similar to Moyes's 1st game. Now van Gaal might actually realize how shit the squad is and spend some serious money.

Everton drop points.

Shame that Spurs had to nick a last minute winner.

That result had me a bit nervous, they looked like they would be as boringly efficient as Everton with van Persie adding an extra level.  Thank heavens it turned out otherwise.  

Sanogo is such an anomaly in the Arsenal team.

Why is Giroud not starting? He's not that good but I'd still play him ahead of Sa-no-goal.

Not been overally impressed with Arsenal so far. Was expecting them to be 2-0 or 3-0 up by half-time. They'll probably blitz Palace in the second half, though.

I threw £50 on Arsenal to win as soon as they went 1-0 down, so I won't mind too much if they do.

And where's RR today?

Celebrating how quickly the balance of power in the league is being restored, I imagine. 

Arsenal win in last minute, like Spurs. Hmm. I won a nice sum of money because of it though. £50 returned £120, and I originally put £15 on Arsenal to win before the game started, which returned £25, I think.

Hopefully we do the business tomorrow. No one has a GD of more than +1 so, we have a chance to go straight to the top.

 

Lol that looks unintentional. He looks surprised when it sticks to his chest.
