In keeping with that analogy, it would also be appropriate in that it'd be amazing up top, shit everywhere else.

They bought themselves a Bugatti Veyron with a Renault 1.4 litre engine in it and 2000 Firestone tires on it.

Some fantastic business from Hull yesterday. Mo Diamé, Gaston Ramirez, and Ben Arfa.


Will be a tough 2 games this season.

[Kick]

They did well overall imo.

Sold Long for 15m, brought in some decent players.

They got Snodgrass and Dawson too.

All players who can help their style.

[Shed]

Indeed. Quite impressive from them.

[Kick]

Can't see them getting anywhere near relegation this season.

[Shed]

I'd have had a hard time seeing it a week ago, I'd think it's almost an impossibility now after that deadline day dealing.

[Kick]

Yes.

[RedOranje]

I still think we'll see two of the promoted sides go straight back down, with West Brom or Villa (despite their strong start they've got a very weak squad) face relegation this season.

[Kick]

Burnley will go down, I think QPR could save themselves if their players Gel, Leicester are strong but I am not sure they're good enough in attack.

I see Palace going down without Pulis there.

[RedOranje]

I am unduly, uncharacteristically, and unabashedly convinced that Aston Villa are headed for the drop this season.


Which in all likelihood means they'll not only survive, but finish in the top 10 comfortably and knock Liverpool out of at least one of the cup competitions out of spite.

[Kick]

They've got 7 points already, that is a decent haul for a 'relegation' team.

Likewise

A welcomed prospect, especially around these parts, but sadly I can't see it happening. In fact, I'd be very surprised if Lambert lasted the season.

QPR could be relegated to Conference unless they pay £40m FFP fine:
FL chief executive Shaun Harvey has confirmed Queens Park Rangers could be banned from the Football League and consigned to the Conference in the event of relegation from the PL if they refuse to pay a huge fine incurred under its financial fair play rules

Edin Dzeko declares Chelsea the biggest threat to Manchester City's hopes of retaining their title:
The Bosnian international isn't discounting the rest of the top four contenders but reckons José Mourinho's men are the champions' most serious challengers
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/edin-dzeko-declares-chelsea-biggest-4191994

"As with every season, there are several teams that will battle for the title of champions in England."

"This season Chelsea might be the most serious challenger, but we mustn't ignore Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, or United, who will certainly be much stronger than last year."

"After all, everyone has got stronger, and everyone wants to be first."

Frank starts for City against Arsenal...

Almost embarrassing how much these English commentators on NBC are cheerleading for Danny Welbeck here. 15 minutes in and about 12 of them have been spent talking about how tremendously immensely emphatically fantastic he is. Barf.

[Shed]

Lamps off at HT. Says it all really.

[Shed]

And the game ends 2-2!!


Means a win today will put us 5 ahead of City and 6 ahead of Arse with both to play us in the next 3 or 4 weeks. Have to take advantage today.
