Me too, Burnley playing Thursday night away in the EL should give you the edge today, albeit their overall match fitness should be better as they’ve now played 3 competitive games. The bookies have the same opinion though as you’re a skinny 4/5. I might have a tickle on Ings scoring on his debut though.
It's not so bad once the season starts as you'll get an extra training/rest day but first game of the season is a bitch. Just builds the tension and anxiety. How come you played Friday then don't play until Sunday? Bit dodgy that. Bet Jose is pleased.
Yeah, and brown envelopes gave you the advantage. Saints get 5 days rest until their next game. It stinks!
great answer....but you do know that if we ever do (by some miracle) win a trophy you are gonna suffer for this comment ... pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaasassssseeeeeeee let us win just one trophy .... so I can heal from my matth burn
It's written for Ings to score the winner isn't it? Well that's how these things tend to work against us anyway lol. Not gonna be able to see much of the game but might do a bet builder on the late match. I'd wait for the line up btw as I'm not sure if Ings will start.
Getting pretty nervous now... first day of the season is great but ****ing tense. I'm worried West Ham with a truck load of new players will come out storming, all trying to impress the new manager. Either that or they'll be all over the place and we'll hammer them. 0-0 probably!
Don't think we will be. We're a better equipped side than the tired Wenger era outfit that got dry humped towards the back end of last season. Not to say we can't lose heavily, but there's cause for optimism. I think if we do lose it will be by the odd goal, or perhaps 2-0. I believe we can give them a game though
