AnPheitseog Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 With Ligue 1 starting this weekend, good time to start up the thread for the season. l'OM starts with Dijon, so hopefully an easy win to start the season.

AnPheitseog Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Okay, couple things. This ref is terrible, missed a couple handballs against Dijon (including one that would be a penalty kick) and calling imaginary fouls. That said, Dijon is playing defence really well today.

PaperThin Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 ARSENAL ACTUALLY WON A GAME ON MATCHDAY ONE HOW But in all seriousness, the game was pretty bad for Arsenal except for the short instances where Arsenal could actually get a shot off and score. Lacazette scoring within two minutes of his debut ain't too shabby, either. And Vardy was absolutely amazing this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 That Premier League opener was a rollercoaster, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Did Chelsea swap bodies with Sunderland? 3-0 down and not at the half yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 And Liverpool drew Watford 3-3 earler today. Apparently nobody's backliners have gotten the memo that the season has started. Edit: Now Chelsea are not only down 3-1 but down to 9 men (following a straight red for Cahill and two yellows for Fabregas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimalCookie Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 At least Brighton/Man City is going the way I expected. What a crazy first week so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Proud of Spurs for their win this weekend. Now just freakin sign someone. Huddersfield is by far the biggest surprise of the weekend. Good on em though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Liverpool travel to Hoffenheim tomorrow for their UCL qualifier. Hoffenheim scored the most goals from set pieces in the Bundesliga last year. Liverpool, in case you're wondering, are quite bad at defending set pieces. Whoo boy.

vicfurth Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Didn't get to watch Spurs today. not please with the results, especially when you look at match facts. I wonder if they need to start looking at a new keeper. Lloris is really good but is due for a brain fart now and again. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think it helps that Spurs are playing at Wembley this season as well, as we already know their form when they play there. They should adjust to that, however. Meanwhile, Arsenal was embarrassed, although I will admit Jesé scored a nice debut goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, ManU looks deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThin Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Yeah, heading into the season I thought Chelsea and Man City were gonna be huge powerhouses, which it's still early to tell, but ManU is already showing that Lukaku is gonna be the best signing of the Premier League season (IMO).

Crabcake Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Liverpool beat Hoffenheim 6-3 on aggregate to advance to the UCL proper. They got an extremely friendly group draw - Spartak Moscow, Sevilla, and Maribor. Tottenham on the other hand... Whew. Real and Dortmund. Yeesh.
