I can see the scum making a panic buy now.

Swansea are playing some absolutely beautiful football against Utd - a lot more easy on the eye than their usual passing game too. If they can keep it up and convert some chances, I can see them pulling off an upset today and being a big threat to all in the league this season!

...... but RVP scores

Yep, that's how Champions do it. Scraping victory against sides that take it to you the whole game is a must and something we are only just getting close to doing
Watched the Liverpool and Arse games. Liverpool looked quite good early on, but Stoke came back into it and really should have gotten the draw. Having said that, they did deserve their win, but I don't think on this game they will be all that threatening as the season goes on. With Bitey to come back, you never know though.
Arse also looked really good going forward early on, but it still looks like they have their dodgy defensive problems which is a good sign. Once Villa got their goal, Arse went completely off the boil and started acting like spoiled children for every decision that went against them (and there were a few unfair ones!). On that evidence, they certainly have not improved at all since last year as you would expect when you buy no one! Benteke had an odd game - he was far from lethal in front of goal, but his hold up and link play really is great at times. Agbonlahor was really impressive - best I've seen him play in a long time.
Watching Man U now and Van Persie is so important to them. Man U very much out played, but then nick a couple of goals in a couple of minutes due to some individual brilliance and some great movement from Van Persie. Swansea playing some really nice stuff, but just not threatening the goal enough. Will be interesting to see how Bony does, as I think Swansea are very close to being a very good team - mixing an extremely well drilled passing team with that bit of extra individual flair. Could be dark horses for a very high finish in the league...

all in all a good first day
Bindippers did look sharp but tailed off 2nd half, Swans were much better than 4-1 suggests and Manure were not nearly as good as 4-1 suggests. As for ars*nal, I'd like to say I wrote the script - I certainly couldn't have written a better one for their first game!
Down to us now, Eagles will fly at us from the off. We have to absorb that and then take control

They've barely had any time to train with the team. They will be regular starters soon.

Hull looking much better with Hud and Jake on the pitch. Putting pressure on the Chavs.
