Idk if it was luck as much as Wolves’ ineptitude in front of goal. Wolves dominated possession and had 3x as many shots. It’s just that most of their shots ended up in Row Z. Traore couldn’t hit his ass with both hands right now.

I’m glad to have Lukaku. Wish Mourinho had never run him off. He reminds of drogba v Arsenal.

All that said, Chelsea looked boring and as if the team weren’t having fun. Every attack had to go to Lukaku first it seemed, and whenever anyone else attempted to shoot he looked irritable. I don’t like the looks of it, but we’ll see in time.

I think we may have been given both a gift and a curse.

Which is sad because he gets himself into great positions and is damn near impossible to get off the ball

Rebecca Lowe has the top four as:

Chelsea
Man U
City
Liverpool.


Anyone else have a guess?

After 2 matches, it’s throwing darts blindfolded but sure, I can see Chelsea winning it. The defense is as good as it was after Tuchel came in last season and with Lukaku leading the line, our top PL goalscorer won’t be Jorginho with 7 pens. It’ll be interesting to see how Werner is going to be used. When the lineup was announced this morning, Chelsea’s bench would be starting for 16-18 other PL teams.

Those 4 are so far ahead of the other 16 I think it's a given.  I'd swap the Manchester teams.  Liverpool is a wild card aging team wonder if they can stay healthy this year.

Yup, our #'s 1 through 11 can win the league again.  Our numbers 15-20 have to get in the mix, we're fighting for Europe again.

Hell yeah I do.  Hard to get top players if you're not competing in CL, and EL is a hinderance to making CL the following season.  The difference between us and EL last season was a buzzer beater GK header goal, I don't to be anywhere near that again this year.  You start to slip out of that top 4 with regularity and all of a sudden you're in purgatory with Arsenal.

L'Equipe is reporting Cristiano to Man City since they won't pay Daniel Levy what he thinks Harry Kane is worth. If Kane plays Thursday against Pacos de Ferreira, I bet he stays.

They are owned by a country and ffp isnt enforced at all.  160m to them is equivalent to me losing $20.  In fact if I bet its even less if you do the actual math.

Kante was absolutely robbed. He was MOTM in both legs of the semifinals and the final.

It’ll be interesting to see how, at 36, his legs hold up to the physical beating of the EPL. We’ve already seen this season that refs are letting more physical play go. He’ll probably take Grealish’s title as most fouled player.
