Week Two Thread

[SAMCRO]

Leicester is no joke for a newly promoted team. Getting the point v Everton last week with a late equalizer, and now playing Chelsea pretty evenly this week. (Of course now they will end up getting smoked in the 2nd half). I'm liking their style of play.

Seamus Coleman ours Everyon up 1-0 over arsenal....double bonus since I started him in fantasy league.

Pretty second goal just now from Everton before the halftime.

Crazy end to ARS-EVR game! Wow. One thing that stuck out to me was Everton's lack of size. Unless Arsenal is just a tall team, Everton had no chance on contested balls! Will be interesting to see if tis hurts them down the line. However, never remember them having much size.

Why do I feel that any chance at the top four just evaporated with 4 pts dropped in the last two weeks?

 

[SAMCRO]

It's early, it's against bottom 10 competition, but it appears Spurs signings from last year are beginning to pay off. Lamela and Chadli are having a love affair today. Spurs up 3-0 after 37 minutes.

Ref screwed Hull after holding on with 10 men for over 40 min.

Missed the Hull highlights. Did notice they were down to 10 men very early. impressive to see them get the lead and hold on for a point being down that long. They are off to a solid start.

Man U looks very disjointed, no flow to their game yet. They'll click eventually, but definitely struggling to adjust to RVG's system.

I can't stand them, but they have the same media/fan affliction that the Yankees or Alabama have. Ridiculous expectations, no patience and inability to comprehend that they don't yet have the righteous personnel for their system.

Van Gaal in his second year will have them back to form.

I expect Man U to be dangerous later in the season as they have a good coach, and too much talent and money, just hope that it is after Arsenal has wrapped-up a top 3 finish in the EPL and Champions League qualification.

Although Naismith was offside. However, it was a pretty counter (from Everton's point of view). From Arsenal's view, pretty much a cluster. Luckily, Ramsey and Giroud saved us a point. Away points against the top team should work, if we can win at home. (better than last years away games )

 

[Waquoit]

Well, Liverpool was rubbish today.

 

[UCFBfan]

Looks like Giroud might miss 3 months with a foot injury....ouch

May force Wenger to actually go get a second striker.

Nah, he's got Sanogo.

 

[ZooCougar]

Looks like Chelsea and Man City right now. But Spurs and Swansea are doing well too.

Holy cow, batman! The League One (tier 3) Milton Keynes Dons, who finished in 10th place in League One last year, crushed Man U 4 to 0. The red Devils need a lot more that Di Maria to fix their problems. This would be like UConn men's basketball losing a 'Connecticut State Cup' to ECSU.

If Man U doesn't get its crap together, they will undergo a series of Steinbrenneresque firings.
