EPL Matchday 2 - On Optus Sport

SA TIMES:

I reckon we'll have too much for Leicester, particularly at home.

Chelsea v Spurs will be tasty.

 

[kreglze]

Chelsea - Spurs easily Game of the Round. Both will go in expecting to win.

Unlike last year, we have a much nicer start to the season, will be important to get early points on the board, and we should be able to against Leicester at home.

 

[chef]

Im pretty worried about our game, Conte has flogged them over the preseason and they look cherry ripe while we had some PR exercise in the US and look rusty as *.

I guess it's at their graveyard so we should be winning. Can see an edgy draw.

 

[Jatz]

Arsenal 2 or 3-0 I would imagine.

 

[Bostonian]

Please don't be s**t at home this year.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Another great opportunity for Leeds to continue our strong start to the season, although granted we played very poorly there last season at St Mary's

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Just end the season

 

[Marcel Proust]

Just end the season

If the mctominay stat is true; 16 passes 8 completed that's amazing.

No point being in the gym all day if you suck at football

Fdj will make them look a lot better

At least we've got the world cup as a good distraction

 

[hawkman]

Who Chelsea? Yeah he probably will

 

[chef]

Fdj will make them look a lot better

Nah, United or Barca.

 

[fingerbone]

I love watching united, its genuinely funny feels like a reality tv show.

16 passes as a midfielder LOL

 

[Bradesmaen]

Two s**t teams against each other. I bet BT Sport are so happy they made this the early game

 

[hawkman]

Do Brentford go in as favourites?

 

[Cruyff14]

Your posts are even funnier when you're bashing United

I did like this line from the Guardian

Manchester United optimism quickly snuffed out by return of old failings | Jonathan Wilson

The manager is new and Cristiano Ronaldo did not start but none of that fixed problems that have haunted United for years

www.theguardian.com

Mikel Arteta, presumably, will be preparing for Arsenal’s visit to Old Trafford next month by having his team train to a soundtrack of grim muttering and resigned derision.

Wilson probably loved writing that.

Would I be right in thinking that Tottenham have more to gain/lose than Chelsea at Spamford Bridge ?

If Spurs lose, than (and I don't agree with this perspective btw) many will just say it's same old Tottenham, not ready to fight with the big boys, naturally I think they would probably be satisfied with a draw, but geez winning away at Chelsea would be a significant sign of intent and ambition for Tottenham under Conte.

Not saying they will but if Spurs beat Chelsea, I think they have the potential to win the league (least from a psychological standpoint)

 

[moomba]

Our place is going to be buzzing on Saturday after yesterday. Cue Pep benching Haaland and a 0-0 draw ha ha.

This whole Spurs can win the league is becoming a yearly thing. Then by like October, it's off.

Nobody is getting near City. I mean did anyone see Haaland on the weekend.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Nobody is getting near City. I mean did anyone see Haaland on the weekend.

The scary thing is that he's only going to get better. He will improve at dropping deep to get involved in the build up play. And the City mids will get used to his runs and put him through on goal more often.
