Arsenal seem to have done well in their opening match. At least Spurs only lost 1-0, and away from home!!

Tottenham are the current tomorrow team they will do it tomorrow,the problem is today keeps getting in the way.

Not even sure that they are the 'tomorrow' team: more like next year, or next decade!!

A scouting team is only as good as the manager and/or owner. It is he/they who tell the scouts what to look out for.

Well the manager is learning English and the Chairman goes through managers like there is no tomorrow,so a long way to go in that department.

Well, that's a curious one, some games are having drinks breaks, it's so hot. Particularly in London I think, but also some other grounds. I remember this at one World Cup, but not in PL. Guinness?

Well, what a weekend of football. West Ham win at Anfield but got another red card (6 from 10 games). Both red cards were weak. Are the referees really trying to spoil the game so that you can't tackle and the English games becomes like tarty Spanish or Italian football? Anyway, then Chelsea and Man U lose aswell. There's been some weird results so far this season. Could it be something to do with the clubs having a bit more money, so that even the lower clubs can now afford a couple of real quality players? Exciting season so far.

By the way, I reduced this using bitly.com, but it hasn't produced a 'bitly' URL. Any ideas why?

I hate this time of year, when the transfer window starts to look like a crazy auction. Man Utd seem to have lashed out £36 million for a French kid nobody has heard of (Martial), although all the scouts will know him, as they know everyone. This isn't football, it's roulette. Money is going to rot the game from the head downwards.

Hope · « **Reply #86 on:** August 31, 2015, 02:18:43 PM »

wiggi, likely many, I suspect, I'd like to see the Summer transfer period close before the start of the season.

That is what my Grandad used to say, he died in 1984.

And in his view, I am guessing, he would think he had been proved right.

Well, I used to watch Chelsea in those days, when I was in London. There's no way I could afford to go now. OK, that's not 'rotting', but it seems damn peculiar to me.

I think he thought the game was rotten in the 1980's 'not like it was in the old days' also in the 1980s it was a hooligan fest. I think we have a warped view of money, earlier today I threw a nutritional Indian takeaway in the bin because I didn't like the taste, to my Grandfather who was born in the 1910's that would have been beyond belief.

In fact to many people in the world today it would be insane. In the West almost all of us are obscenely rich.

Can anybody stop Manchester City from winning the EPL?

Rhiannon · « **Reply #92 on:** September 13, 2015, 07:31:54 PM »

Nope.

Not sure anyone can stop me laughing at Chelsea either.

wigginhall · « **Reply #93 on:** September 14, 2015, 07:21:08 PM »

Every time I see Mahrez (Leicester) I remember how I fell in love with football as a kid. He is a bloomin marvel, let's hope he keeps going, doesn't get injured, or burned out.

ad_orientem · « **Reply #94 on:** September 19, 2015, 08:07:19 PM »

Well, well, well! What a win. COYI!

Rhiannon · « **Reply #95 on:** September 19, 2015, 09:01:49 PM »

So now we do know who can stop City. Shame about the crap home results.

Yeah. The first two anyway. We beat Newcastle, who are admittedly struggling, but we did what we had to do. Hopefully that one win at home will be the first of many. We'll see next week against Norwich.

Rhiannon · « **Reply #97 on:** September 19, 2015, 09:22:45 PM »

To be fair it's an all- new set up there. Could be that it's taken time to gel properly although why that had affected home form rather than away I don't know.

Newcastle are going down methinks.

Andy · « **Reply #98 on:** September 22, 2015, 09:27:44 PM »

Just because it's an incredible feat, but Lewandowski scored 5 goals in 9 minutes tonight, and the last one is a worldy. Unbelievable, Jeff!

Hope · « **Reply #99 on:** September 29, 2015, 10:15:16 PM »

Whilst we are still early in the process, English clubs don't appear to be faring very well in the European Champions League this season. Can anyone see the Premier League losing one of it automatic places which currently stand at 4, iirc.
