City got lucky there. Pep still has a lot of work to do.

On today's evidence I think West Brom will be this year's 'overachievers'.

City will get better,

Thought Leicester seemed by far the worst off today. Think it might be a long season for them. With more games then they normally are use to playing.

Nah, they'll aim for 40 points and finish between 11th and 15th. It's what Pulis does.

I am happy. The team is happy. We are happy. Happy.

 

Happy then? 

So CFC Legends RDM/Clarke & JFH have better records than fsw in the Championship - proof that we never needed fsw at Chelsea (ok it's early days)

What a boring opening day of the new season. I know its very early days but we looked better in preseason than what city, leicester and spurs all looked today.

I think i agree, that was like a day of fixtures that you would see when we get deeper into the season. Opening days are usually a lot more exciting than that.

Jose Mourinho has built a partition around the first-team changing area at Manchester United's Carrington training ground to keep them separate from other players.

United's original open-plan dressing room has had doors and glass windows installed to prevent anyone walking through the first-team section on their way to the gym or other parts of the complex.

Mourinho wants to keep his senior squad as a tight-knit group and does not want any dissatisfaction from outsiders proving a distraction.

Mata starts for United, surprisingly.

Mata starts, Mkhtiryan on the bench.

Wasn't the smartest move loaning Ake to Bournemouth, it might turn out to be another Atsu.

Mourinho is going to sub him off in the 1st minute.

Mata with the first Mourinho goal :D

Wow that defender probably had a bet on ManU winning

what a determination by francis to assist mata 

On the other end Baily looks pretty solid

On the other and Baily looks pretty solid

Was thinking the same good purchase by Jose there...

Another lucky goal. Got a feeling Francis will score a header in the second half.

Christ was this how we played too?

That was a dive by Rooney, that f**ker get's away with so much in this league.

Christ was this how we played too?

 

They are playing better than we did...

bournemouth's pretty dreadful

Well, if this is how Bournemouth are going to play this season then they are in trouble. They have been really poor.
