Haven't watched highlights properly yet but caught a quick shot of Stoke giving away about 10 nailed on pens. None given.

and score 4 in every game.

Quite cheap at £460 million.

Lukaku is absolutely the right player for them.

At this point it looks a straight race between them and City.

I might have a cheeky tenner on Arsenal now though - the odds will be quite good right now, & if they keep hold of Sanchez they have a chance. Getting beat by Stoke can happen to anyone, & Leicester are a strong side, so their two opening games really haven't been bad.

Thing is with Lukaku is that people say he's not a big game player which may or may not be true, but he does guarantee consistent goals against the smaller clubs.

Look at how many draws United had against the likes of Bournemouth and Wba last year, he can (and likely will) be the difference in those games.

No chance of Arsenal winning it, the manager simply isn't good enough.

Man united will go the whole season without conceding a goal

Bets for Bantz thread for this

Fancy putting your rep on the line?

Avatar and sig bet?

Go on evil boyo...lets do this?

To be fair he did score when we beat them 3-1 at the lane...so he is a big game playa

Good for the spongers.

I ride a 10'7" traditional longboard that I picked up in California a few years ago. It's designed for small point break waves, but I'll take that beastie out in all sorts of conditions here. Whether it's two foot slop or overhead and grinding.

Been doing a bit of research this morning, checking out some mini mal's for next year.
Reckon a 7'6" should do me.


A mate of mine makes boards, not cheap though.
Have a look at Howzi Surfboards.

I'll b going more budget though!

Whether he's a big game player will depend on whether he gets the service against the better defences. My guess is that in that team he will. He's a natural goalscorer, and a one man wrecking ball. Not what you might call a cultured footballer, but in a Mourinho team, he won't need to be...

Re the Arsenal manager, I'd love him to finally prove everyone wrong.

They aren't, so he won't.

He still needs to read the game better

He has everything bar a good first touch. He masters that he'll be a real monster striker. I'm talking a consistent 1 in 1 striker.

Look at Suarez (for example) excellent first touch, literally scores buckets of goals due to his first touch.

Poor use of literally, Sky.

Gayle deserved a yellow for the way he threw himself on the floor, he was going down before he was touched

I'd have had him sent off but I've backed Hudds.

They don't look like a relegation team to me, I watched their game last week and they never stopped running and harassing palace, defending from the front, and they look organised at the back too. Maybe they don't have the quality, but if you can do the basics properly it's a big bonus, that's something West Ham haven't been able to do for 2 seasons.

Huddersfield are a Liverpool-lite. Very good attacking gegenpressing team.

Wagner being Klopps best mate is helpful too. Having Ward on loan last season massively helped them get promotion.

I don't see them going down either.

Yeah literally.

The table suggests Liverpool are Huddersfield-lite
