Life long supporter .... 120 mill to spend ....
well he is from Milton Keynes so why would he not be a fan 😉
Still dont think he will go unless they were better than Spurs and they are not
Andy Carrol for 80 million?
Well we could mention any signings made by any teams that did not work out! Plus of course every fan for every club grew up within a stones throw!?
And we're off!
Not a bad way to announce your arrival
Edit: Blimey!!! This is a blinding start to the season 😀
😯
Good to see Arsenal have shored up their traditional frailties.
Sighs......
Well, Arsenal looked to be turning the screw, then Leicester take the lead.
Another man city reject coming good for us, big Ntcham with a screamer there!
Give us wee Roberts back anawl ya ****s! 😆
Leicester for the title?
Arsenal are getting really sloppy now, confidence looks to have gone already. How long since Arsenal won their opening fixture?
Leicester will have much tougher half hours, but if they stay confidant they could sneak a europa league spot on this showing.
I'm trying to remember who had the long throw in before Fuchs. It just seems to create havoc in the 6 yd box. Every team should have one!
Delap?
Arsenal are great in the middle third. Terrible at the back, pedestrian in the final third.
well its going to be a very entertaining season if they all "defend" like this
Jose is despising this game
You're thinking of Rory Delap.
Arsenal are all over the shop at the back
Before fuchs, rory Delap, going back further was Dave challenor.
Wow - what a turnaround
and this is why its the best league in the world
La la la la la la la, la la la la ....Giroud! 😀
INCREDIBLE scenes
Long throw was originally credited to Ian Hutchinson in the late 60's early 70's
Football.... bloody hell!
What an opening match 😯
It's like the polar opposite of Italian football
Thankfully 😀

Sanchez is a little bitch.Crying because of a cut on his lip, posting a sad face on Instagram because he had a cold.
Soft lad, I wish he were playing tonight so Fuchs can make him cry like a child again.
You seemed very angry before tonight. I'm guessing this has done nothing for your mood.
Ozil hand ball on purpose? In the build up to the 4th
Never in doubt! 8)

Where is Scotland ? and I meant entertainment not quality so i was thinking of us as well 😉
We have our moments, don't you worry! 😆
Cracking game to start the season. I thought Arsenal got the rub of the green on a couple of decisions, that Ozil handball and towards the end of the first half I though Leicester deserved a pen for wresting in the box when the decision went the other way, but I can understand why they were missed.
Arse!i'd had a punt on Leicester tonight too.
So other than Jose and Mark Hughes can we take it that everyone has abandoned the idea of defending? I know that post Adams/Keown Arsenal has never been a believer
It's bloody great to watch though. Kevin Keenan's gift to the world. He was so far ahead of his time 😀
City v arsenal could get to double figures.
I would just love it to happen
Another dull game when will the season really start
It's 0-0s from here on out.
we dont play till tomorrow
Interesting.
what's up with chelsea? getting humped 3-0.
cahil sent off though
Second season syndrome 😉
Not sure
Conte seems unhappy there
no new players and he objected to the sale of Matic
perhaps there i the usual unrest there?
Perhaps John Terry was what made them great
Giving everyone else a chance...
Abramovich does like to meddle!
aye seen the sending off, did't think that should equate to 3-0 though! Cheers, just curious as it looked odd on livescore!
0-3 at the Bridge, bloody marvellous! Come on Burnley keep it going!
😀
(Huddersfield town fan)
I've been out in'th'ills all day with no mobile signal (bliss) so hadnt seen any results.
So.... Huddersfield are top of the premiership and Chelski got a hiding at home from Burnley? 😆
Hmmm, Klopp seems as incapable of sorting out Liverpool's defence as Rodgers! I'd sell Coutinho to be honest and buy a few defenders. Everyone wants to play for Barcelona or Real, doesn't make you a selling club selling to them.
It's Kevin Keegan football. It's an attitude.
The thing is that defenders have gone to Anfield who were pretty decent players, and previously been part of effective defensive units. Then as soon as they put a red shirt on they seem to just be infected with the same totally shambolic lack of positional awareness.
Didn't Liverpool ship more goals than any other team last season? They just scored more. You'll never win owt if you're totally incapable of keeping clean sheets. But even if they spend Phil's transited money on defenders, I can't see it changing much
It's bloody great to watch though 😀
Yeah I do agree it's more of a collective team mentality than just the defenders. I reckon if they had a top class, commanding goalie there'd be less jitters any time the ball goes near the box.
Man U to win the league based on dull 1 nil and 2 nil victories in comparison.
My mate, who's a lifelong season ticket holder at Turf Moor, just posted a video up on Fiendface of him and his 10 year old lad in the away end at Stamford Bridge, at the final whistle today. They were all going absolutely ****ing nuts!!! 😀
I don't care that we lost and didn't score. I can't wait for MOTD.
Thanks to Huddersfield we're above Palace in the table 😀
I have just rather enjoyed watching that Chelsea game 😆
😉 plenty of RESPECT shown by the boys in blue - at least Shearer was honest as a pundit
Just had a thought there, if we get by Astana(we should, but I'm not counting my chickens), the stars will probably align so that we get liverpool, rodgers v klopp. Not usually superstitious but those kinda match ups/conicidences pop up all the time in fitba!
Mind you Astana are gonny hate us after we put them out with 2 penalties last year, so lets get there first(dodgy defence and injuries to strikers are a concern)! 😆
10/10 for effort Seo! 😀
This is dire
My lord we seemed to hve discovered the rt of both football and scoring goals
Till the goal I was fearful it would be like last season of all possession nd no penetration
Its only one game but it was an impressive team display and finally top of the league 😉

The only thing to say for sure after this first weekend, is it means nothing in the long run.
you've just been listening to mourinhos interview then? 😆Jamie - Member

In other news. JonJo isn't the brightest spark is he? If you're going to stamp on someones ankle, maybe make sure the ref isn't looking right at you.

It means nothing in the long run
It means Liverpools defence look as much comedy value as last season 😀
woohoo, bring on the champions league, here we go! 
Wondered how long you'd be! 😆
still shitting it from the away goal at 4-0! 5 seals it! 😆
So I now want liverpool* out the CL, we go into pot 3 if they do, unlikely I know! 😆
*Or olympiakos
Jonny Evans to City is the weirdest thing ever
Jonny Evans to City is the weirdest thing ever
Was gonna post the same, bizarre*
*though is symptomatic of the dearth of decent British defenders, CH in particular.
It's not just British defenders either - look at the money City spunked on Mangala and Liverpool on Lovren!
Jonny Evans to City is the weirdest thing ever
I was wondering if we'd jumped forward to April 1st when I heard that this morning
Evans is decent. Has improved a great deal
He's a good player, but I don't get how he fits in with the way Pep plays. Seems an odd match
He is consistent, if unremarkable, and can pass out from the back, you have to remember he would be effectively the 4th choice centre back. If he can be had for under 20 million, it makes more sense than 35 million for another unremarkable fourth choice centre back which seems to be the going rate in this transfer window.
Apparently he also still lives in Manchester, and is tired of travelling to the midlands, so it could be a deal that suits everyone, if probably rather inconsequential.
No nonsense reliable central defender
GRanted he is not the name you associate with a top top club but he is a decent steady performer who can be relied on to do the simple things....so an improvement for Cities current lot 😉
What MSP said
these 4-0 drubbings are becoming so predictable
Lets hope we dont do a City - look the best but fade- but the signs so far are very good
Got to be challenging this year surely

I stuck a few quid on another 4 - 0 at 14/1 too 😀
Another great performance, and another clean sheet. I couldn't believe Chelski sold us Matic! They must be regretting that one now. Crazy!
You won your first three games last year.....early days! City won first 6 or 7 and were crowned champs in September by many.
just said the same to my kids FWIW
Still we look good and we have not looked this good for a few seasons so piss off and leave us alone 😈
I'm not predicting anything, certainly not the title.
I'm just enjoying watching some decent, entertaining attacking football, with a team looking to go forward, rather than the sideways/sideways/backwards stuff we've been enduring for the last few seasons
We looked good defencively last season, but nowhere near sharp enough going forward. I'm enjoying Tony Marshall's solskjaer-esque super-sub role in particular 🙂
Football is a bunch of ar*e at the moment! Arnautovic needs to be docked 2 weeks wages for being such a knob. Silver lining at least Hernandez has shown he knows where the goal is again.
