    Interesting. You reckon Bournemouth will get a point? Big call.

    I backed West Ham to bounce back after the drubbing but true Brighton are decent at home.

    Difficult calls again. I can also see Liverpool being really flat against Soton and I've gone heart over head really but interesting to see you've backed Liverpool too.

    Brighton have changed their style and are going to be much more attacking - especially at home, which means they’ll have to push up higher and their 2 somewhat immobile CB’s will be exposed more this season imo.

    I can see you making hard work of Soton, but you’ll create enough to win the game, albeit with the score line maybe not truly reflecting the match.

    Nah we ain't got enough quality in defence.

    Think we'll cause them problems and maybe even take the lead but ultimately give up a couple of stupid goals which will cost us.

    We won 1-0 there last season and drew 0-0 at home ... but both teams have changed quite a bit ... not just personnel but also tactics ...

    We actually completed the most passes of any team in the opening PL fixtures <yikes>... never thought I'd be writing that ...

    Hoping their 9th choice keeper Bernard Cribbins has a howler today.

    Tough game for us today - probably the toughest. If we can come away with anything I’ll be happy.

    It’s probably come too early in the season for us though. Key players out either injured or suspended and the new signings not bedded in properly.

    Got to target their keeper in that game. He’s bound to be a weak link.

  20. Plus Sterling already looks like he's going to have a stellar season.
