[Master Splinter]

It's back! :bow:

Why am I little bit excited? :doh:

I mean the first game will probably set the trend with four disallowed Leicester goals, United avoiding three clear red cards and Youngy/Rashy diving without punishment. All while Mike Dean dances in self-satisfaction in the centre circle knowing he's just added another farce to his collection.

Fuck this shit tbfh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think it's because we don't know exactly how our season will end.

I could do without us conceding at least three goals on the opening weekend, again though.

[Goonermerree]

Someone did a scientific analysis of luck in the PL and Man U came out as the most lucky or should that be 'lucky'? Liverpool the least lucky.

Just what we need, scientists fuelling the ‘woe is me’ scouser narrative.

Arsenal still fifth :lol:

[Letters]

I think it's because we don't know exactly how our season will end.
So...we really can judge it at the end of the season? :unsure:

:patrice:

I'm pretty jaded with football but have to say that while I'm not excited about the new season started I'd say the top 6 positions are fairly unpredictable this year which makes it interesting.

So we WERE just unlucky

Wenger :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Positives for the new season:
Neil Warnock is back. best interviewer by a mile......at least since Strachan
Fulham are back!
Wolves......they cant be worse than the last time, Can they?

Cardiff? WTF! Come in to replace Swansea with a worse kit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tyler and Carragher commentating.

Carragher. :lol:

Feel sorry for the fans below him, they're going to get soaked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Man Utd. :lol:

Hasn't taken long has it? :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Pen....and so it starts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Leicester, Pogba.

Pogba with the Zaza run-up. :doh:

[SMatthews]

Utd off to a flyer as they look to defend the lucky team title from last season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fred seems to be a scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rashford. :haha:

Useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is on Sky One apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decent shot from Ndidi, De Gea saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho. :haha:

How did he miss, offside or not?

[Globalgunner]

Iheanacho. :haha:

How did he miss, offside or not?

Its what he does.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd's right hand side is complete bobbins.

[Globalgunner]

Leicester can still do something here if Marriner doesnt tilt the pitch again

[hobson's choice]

Seems like Sanchez found a new position since going to United. He's quite a good left back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho. :haha:

Useless.

Great strike from Maddison, De Ge saves another ridiculous one...in club football at least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ricardo hammers it back in and loops over with Pogba's clearance.

[Master Splinter]

Ian Nacho fucking everything up.

They'd be winning this with Vardy playing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho ruining it all again.

[Master Splinter]

Ian Nacho is 5 seconds out of sync with the game.

[Globalgunner]

Iheanacho reminds me of Welbeck. Every time the ball comes to him in the box, he is surprised to see it.

[SMatthews]

Great to see Alexis has been as shite as ever in a Utd shirt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba goes for a hit and hope, Schmeichel saves easily.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez. :haha:

What a miss.

Stick to the piano.

[Master Splinter]

Maddison to Liverpool for £95m in January?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaw cuts inside, shoots, Schmeichel fumbles a save.

[Master Splinter]

Great to see Alexis has been as shite as ever in a Utd shirt.

Getting rid of that fat fraud and replacing him with Auba was masterful from Big Weng.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Listening? It's not the radio, Tyler.

[Globalgunner]

Getting rid of that fat fraud and replacing him with Auba was masterful from Big Weng.

He wasnt fat, The rest I agree with

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

It shouldn't be.

[Master Splinter]

He wasnt fat, The rest I agree with

He's fatter than Luke Shaw.

[Globalgunner]

1-0 HT.

It shouldn't be.

Marriner will fix it for Utd in the 2nd half

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gray sends Rashford flying. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amartey booked.

Sanchez does look hefty, has he been stealing Atom and Humber's steaks?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fred booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Darmian shoots and again Schmeichel fumbles it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez's pointless lofted pass again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho with a woeful touch, again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amartey off, Ghezzal on.

Maddison off, Vardy on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez sets up Mata rather than going for goal, bad move.

[Globalgunner]

Ref missed another opportunity to award Utd another pen there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rashford hauled off, Lukaku on.

[Globalgunner]

Foul!. Andreas fault.

[Master Splinter]

Pub passing from both teams.

[Master Splinter]

Why can't the Spain De Gea turn up for once in a United shirt?

FFS.

[Master Splinter]

Lukaku :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Fatty Shaw scores. 2-0.

[SMatthews]

Has Luke Shaw seen any sun this summer?

[Master Splinter]

Vardy :haha:.

That was terrible.

[Master Splinter]

VARDY!!!!!

2-1.

[Master Splinter]

Why didn't you score a minute earlier, you moran?

[Globalgunner]

Vardy. iheanacho couldnt score that in a million years

[Master Splinter]

Vardy loves scoring pointless +1s in losses against the top 6.

[Master Splinter]

Manchester United 2-1 Leicester. FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soccer Saturday is on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle: Dubravka; Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Ritchie, Shelvey, Diame, Kenedy; Perez; Joselu.
Subs: Darlow, Manquillo, Schar, Ki, Atsu, Muto, Rondon.

Spuds: Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Sissoko; Eriksen, Dele, Lucas; Kane.
Subs: Vorm, Alderweireld, Walker-Peters, Amos, Dembele, Son, Llorente.

Newcastle to be known as the Barcodes indefinitely if they lose this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds' third kit is some more garish than ours. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Spuds' third kit is some more garish than ours. :lol:

More Cucumbers than Spuds

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think I'm missing part of a word there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 0-1 Spuds, Vertonghen.

[Thierrymon]

Newcastle :doh:

[Thierrymon]

Joselu!! 1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 1-1 Spuds, JOSELU!!!!

:haha:

[Thierrymon]

2-1 :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dele Alli with it.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Feels even more weird watching them in green than it does us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joselu somehow injures himself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Eriksen, they should sell him.

Dummett shoots wide.

[GP]

Feels even more weird watching them in green than it does us.

Nike couldn't be bothered to make a kit for Spurs so they just reused a Barca training kit.

http://beta.ems.ladbiblegroup.com/s3/content/808x455/e713db535b51651bba61a7f12020b689.png

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aurier. :haha:

WTF?

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

http://beta.ems.ladbiblegroup.com/s3/content/808x455/e713db535b51651bba61a7f12020b689.png
Haha!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Aurier. :haha:

WTF?
That was quite something....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful from Vertonghen but then just as bad from Shelvey.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez flicks it on but wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How old is Lucas Moura really?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That scrote Dier is finally booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sissoko blundering about now too.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

They really might as well play Kennedy upfront because none of them can deal with him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 HT. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dele Alli scuffer. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrendous first touch from Kenedy!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

FFS KENNEDY

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dubravka saves from Sissoko.

Sissoko should be burying that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dubravka tips away Aurier's cross, Sanchez with the acrobatic volley and over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joselu booked for wiping out Dier.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joselu off, Rondon on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a scramble!

Lloris saves from Perez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kenedy. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lloris boots it out of play for some reason.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Kennedy ffs!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yedlin goes for the greatest goal of all time, ends up not being far off a throw-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send Dier off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas Moura off, Dembele on.

Ritchie off, Atsu on.

Ritchie has been very good.

Benitez. :doh:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Good old Spurs rotational fouling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele sends it sky high.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atsu does sent it for a throw-in. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Odd cross from Eriksen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dele Alli off, Son on before he goes away for a month.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez off, Muto on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rondon shot, deflects on to the bar!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Atsu is terrible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dier off, Amos on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Huddersfield 0-1 Chelsea, Kante.

Fulham 0-1 Palace, Schlupp!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neverton. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 2-2 Neverton, FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schlupp ran off the back of Chambers for his goal. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schurrle was hacked down and no pelanty somehow.

Mike Dean is back!

[Özim]

Chambers had a bit of a shocker yesterday, not a good start to his loan deal, really needs to step up, but with a new contract signed up he certainly has plenty of breathing space.

So fr the guy is just not convincing, just doesnt' seem to ever take his opportunities, just don't know if he's cut out for top level football.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme starts now.

Sponsored by Renault and not Ford. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sure Shot. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

There's positivity around the club, expectations we'll challenge, holes in the team seemingly plugged, money spent, coming off the back of a decent pre-season.

3-0 West Ham.

[KSE Comedy Club]

There's positivity around the club, expectations we'll challenge, holes in the team seemingly plugged, money spent, coming off the back of a decent pre-season.

3-0 West Ham.
:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pellegrini isn't a mug I guess.

Emery interview up soon I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful cross from Alexander-Arnold.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino has it taken off his toes, fast move though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexander-Arnold does it again! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah and Firmino both miss it somehow. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 West Ham, Salah tap-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexander-Arnold booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabianski saves from Alexander-Arnold's freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wijnaldum pokes it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arnautovic should do better there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arnautovic with a scuffer now!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexander-Arnold's crossing is hilarious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabianski saves from Salah at close range.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 2-0 West Ham, Mane.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Nice to see every result this weekend going so well.

[SMatthews]

That Renault ad plays like a dig at Carragher.

[GP]

Nice to see every result this weekend going so well.

What do you mean? All of our main rivals look like dropping points.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rice hauled off, Snodgrass on.

[Globalgunner]

Offside!

[SMatthews]

Gonna be another long season for the ‘ammers. Wilshere looks like a passenger nowadays, even this level may be too high for him.

[AFC Leveller]

Pellegrini needs more playa, about 22 new ones infact. Liverpool look good, they always do at Anfield but West Ham have been a disaster, looks like they want the season to end today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pellegrini. :lol:

What a mug.

Mane was way offside.

BLitW is back. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anderson off, Hernandez on.

[Globalgunner]

Hard to believe that a set of professional football players can show such a lack of character. They really should be ashamed of themselves. Some if their fans have spent more than 200 quid to travel and watch this meek showing.

[Master Splinter]

I've not been watching studiously but it seems like Wilshere is playing in the more attacking, number 10-ish role?

Why do he and all his managers keep playing him there when it's clear his best performances have always come when he's been playing deeper?

Woy was little bit mocked when he played Wilshere at the base of midfield for England, but that was the last time he strung a good, influential run of games together.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner freekick hits Wheelchair on his cock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arnautovic off, Yarmolenko on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino off, Henderson on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anfield Screamer. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Keita. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Some idiot kid on the pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane off, Shaqiri on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Some idiot kid on the pitch.

Well at least it's an improvement on a Chechen warlord.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah off, Sturridge on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 4-0 West Ham, Sturridge. :lol:

[Goonermerree]

Wham being trounced. Bit like us last year.:(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 4-0 West Ham, FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-0 Burnley, FT. :sleep:

[Goonermerree]

Pool's last goal was offside.

[Goonermerree]

I haven't seen any of this week's matches, I think I'm the only one who's been watching all of the European multi sports. It's been brilliant, well it has if you're a sports nut like me!
