Oh, how happy Southampton almost made me today. Hope we can get three points at Goodison Park tomorrow. GGMU

Certainly would have been one of the more auspicious debuts in the premier league.

Should be a good one. I wanna see how rvp fits in and howard in the net is always good

+1

I am hoping RvP+Roo will yield a goal scoring salvo similar to what Man City brought to the table last season. However, I won't be surprised if we drop points.

RVP will be the next Berbatov

Fellaini with a nice header, RVP warming up.

Did you see the speed Fellaini put on that? The only explanation is that he has springs hidden in his afro

Performance enhancing hair? I'm fine with that.

He's been the best guy on the pitch today.

Epic

Fellaini had an amazing game today. RVP was almost nonexistent once he came on the pitch.

United in crisis.

United in crisis.

Yep... It wasn't like everton looked *that* good

United in crisis.

As much as I enjoy seeing United start the season off with a loss, the season might be a bit more enjoyable if they're near top form. I'd rather them not win the title, but if United have a bad year, City may just walk away with it. I imagine we may never again see the drama of the final weeks and certainly not the final day of last season, but I don't want somebody to have the title sewn up in mid-April either.

Someone should tell them it's not January.

It's still the best league on the planet, somebody will make a run of it

Man u and others have too much money on the pitch to not be competitive

 

[DarthVisor]

I think United will be fine. This is not how we wanted to start season, but we have 37 more rounds to play. Have to be more creative. And please, Fergie...sell Nani!

 

[milohimself]

Adebayor back to White Hart Lane. wewt

I still think AVB should pick up Llorente or Dzeko

 

[milohimself]

Anybody watching CL play-off qualifiers?

Dynamo Kyiv might make short work of Borussia Mönchengladbach

 

[milohimself]

Looks like Kyiv will be the first to qualify for the CL this season. M.Gladbach would need to win at least 3-0 in Kiev to qualify.

Chelsea losing 2-1 to Reading at half.

Chelsea losing 2-1 to Reading at half.

Good.

 

[NochNoch]

Good.

Too bad it didn't last.

 

[KingNick865]

Chelsea finally managed to pull in front, even though Torres was well offside.

That was bad.

That was bad.

Game probably should have been a draw... Offsides needs to be tracked electronically iyam
