Premier Lg EPL Matchday 1 - On Optus Sport

[Magma]

very chaotic half with both looking good on the counter and poor in defence

 

[Visions]

On first view thought both the Salah and Chilwell offsides were offside but were going to be very close. However the lines drawn up on both seemed to make them look further off than anticipated.

 

[Loonerty]

Ended the half well after going down early. Would've been amazing if Jackson had kept his shot down but still happy.

 

[10Dulkar]

Chelsea missed a trick not giving Jackson the #5 shirt.

Apparently the new home kit isn't on sale until 23 August in anticipation of them finding a new shirt sponsor.

Bill Leslie on Sky here intimated if Spurs had used their concussion sub then Brentford would have got an extra sub. No idea if that's correct.

Davinson looked promising when he signed but he was dire (or Eric Dier?) last year. He copped some real stick from the fans.

Ange said we filled out the wrong form. Wanted to concussion sub him but made an admin error so regular substitution.

I see the North interchange steward got a new job

UK ads are certainly different.

UK ads are certainly different.

Very. Usually gambling ads. All of Ladbrokes, William Hill, SkyBet, Bet 365 and Betfair have advertisements during Sky Sports games.

James/Sterling combo down the right is causing us a few problems.

Ditto Salah going the other way, he and Diaz are finding acres of space vacated by Chelsea’s fullbacks as they push upfield.

With Jota injured I’d like to see Gakpo moved up to false 9 where he’s more comfortable and Jones coming into midfield.

 

[Zidane98]

That's a pen. Miles away he seen it from.

 

[darth_timon]

Hmm. Handy by Jackson?

 

[moomba]

Was pretty close to.his body, but would have been pretty nervy wait for the call. Seen them given.

 

[ADL9798]

What? Has to be a penalty, if that doesn’t hit Jackson’s hand it’s going in the net.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I don't care if they're given or not given. Just be consistent with it.

 

[Magma]

i dont see how that isnt a penalty really.

Highlights so far.

Maccas ad with woman eating Big Mac with knife and fork. WTF.
Guy in vet clinic with a fish in a bowl is somehow an ad for your credit score.
Idris Elba as Circus ring master. Stokesy didn't complain about spirit of cricket having a ball shot out of a cannon....

Lowlight.

Webuyanycar. Sick of that crap already.

The WBAC ads are doing my head in. Half the ads are atrocious. Bring back the classic Tango ads.

Yeah that car company is shite. The adds have got worse. Thought the maccas ad might have been universal

 

[Whiskers]

I want Chelsea to win but how is that not a penalty?
They give penalties for the most minor of technicalities like they did against Spurs and overly harsh on offside calls.
However they can make all types of excuses for a handball these days.
Doesn’t make sense.

Here comes Darwin.

 

[moomba]

Fernandez is quality.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Fernandez is quality.

He's ok, he's not 100m worthy. Plenty of his type available. He's not quick, he's not a game breaking passer and he's not a great defender.

 

[Visions]

Liverpool are going to destroy Mac Allister's career having to carry this non existent midfield.

He's following the well worn path of Brighton players to top teams. Cucurella on the bench says it all

 

[Loonerty]

Colwill has completely pocketed Salah, been a great game.
