I need to post in the "Strange feelings of football" thread that it feels like United and/or Leicester have the first game of the season every year.

Why is a Liverpool fan starting the thread ? Trying to jinx us or what @RobinLFC

Because all of you suckers are too busy refreshing the Transfer Tweets section

And moaning too, don't forget

 

[Nick7]

Will miss the game. I think we'll start this season off slowly either way. No 4-0 wins this August.

Mad to think last year we got through 3 games in August scoring 10 and not conceding.

 

[Tommy]

FOOTBALL! Weeee!

 

[VorZakone]

Hopefully Fulham and Wolves bring some excitement and competitiveness to the PL.

 

[Klopper76]

Yeaaahhhhhhh can't wait. 2-2 draw with West Ham incoming!

 

[drdoityourself]

I can wait for the season to start

 

[Speedy30]

Yeaaahhhhhhh can't wait. 2-2 draw with West Ham incoming!

Nailed on after all the pre-season hype lol

Friday 10th
Manchester United - Leicester - 2-0, solid start for United.

Saturday 11th
Newcastle - Tottenham - 0-1, as above for Spurs.
Huddersfield v Chelsea - 1-3, and another.
Bournemouth v Cardiff - 1-0
Watford v Brighton - 2-1
Fulham v Crystal Palace - 1-1
Wolves v Everton - 0-0

Sunday 12th
Southampton v Burnley - 1-0
Liverpool v West Ham - 4-1, Pellers will play as Pellers teams do, Liverpool will score quite easily.
Arsenal v City - 2-1 - Yeah, I'm predicting us to narrowly lose this one. Arsenal at home, new manager, new team, a lot to prove, just see them raising their game to stupid levels.

 

[Klopper76]

United will get a 2-0 win or something. Decent line up from them.

 

[Klopper76]

Stupid hand ball. Why do that?

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

What the actual feck? Actually ridiculous, that is never a penalty.

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Stupid hand ball. Why do that?

Looked incredibly harsh to me. I'll need to see another replay.

 

[Klopper76]

Looked like he moved his arm up towards the ball?

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Replay I saw looked like he had it at his side and couldn't do much about it. Like I said though I'll have to get another look.

clear pen

 

[SwansonsTache]

Fecking size of Maguire's head.

 

[padr81]

Looked a clear pen.

 

[Klopper76]

Darmian's rubbish.

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Looks like Gray is going to have Darmian on toast tonight. Will keep an eye on him this season, always looked a talent.

 

[TsuWave]

Darmian is so bad

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Darmian's rubbish.

Bit weird really, he was very good for United at first, and was very good for Torino. Has looked utterly inept whenever he gets to play these days.

 

[SwansonsTache]

Darmian's rubbish.

You are being too generous.

 

[Klopper76]

Close, Leicester look alright so far.

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Solid save from De Gea .. Leicester playing some decent stuff now.

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

That isn't a freekick.

 

[Davs]

Fecking size of Maguire's head.

Jamie Vardy doesn't call him Slab'ed for no reason!

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Leicester have got a few decent young English players. Chilwell, Maddison and Gray the most notable, hopefully Puel can do well for them as they all play in positions England are lacking quality in.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Bit weird really, he was very good for United at first, and was very good for Torino. Has looked utterly inept whenever he gets to play these days.

He was good, and I'm not exaggerating here, for three games at the start.

He's been stealing a living ever since.

 

[Big Ben Foster]

He was good in his first preseason. That's about it really.

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

He was good in his first preseason. That's about it really.

I swear he was good in his first few games for you? Didn't he win POTM.

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

He was good, and I'm not exaggerating here, for three games at the start.

Yeah, I seem to remember him having a good start and United fans being convinced you'd got a gem of a right back, but then it all going downhill pretty quickly from there. Maybe he's just not suited to the league/hasn't settled in?

 

[SquishyMcSquish]

Just seen another replay and it appears I was wrong, 'twas a penalty. Thought it had just been flicked on to his hand with him none the wiser, but he moves his arm toward it .. fair's fair.

 

[Klopper76]

This'll end up 4-0 like when United started on fire last season. Leicester will be finished by the 75th minute.

 

[Klopper76]

Be interesting to see the stats from this. Doesn't feel like United have had many shots.

Don't think they have to be fair. Been a bit of a 'meh' opening game from them, but I imagine the majority will take it given missing players etc .. result is all that matters here. Leicester look similar to last season to me, a possession team but lacking in much creativity so it can look seriously blunt at times. Especially now without the moments of magic from Mahrez.
