Probably just playing against a lot better standard of opposition that makes it stand out.

Don't know what to make of that signing. Excellent player but it's a big difference in standard. Wouldn't expect the same output as he had Lyon.

Thought the same when a lot wanted him here in the Prem. Arsenal defo have the most to do to get top 4 this season even with Ozil and Sanchez to come back!
 
**** it. Chelsea winning.

Arsenal losing keeps them behind L'pool in the Charity Shield ranking which is good.

**** it Chelsea are winning!

Arsenal Fan TV will go into early season meltdown hilarity after if this stands which is fun.

But God **** it Chelsea are winning! :@.
 
Alonso has been a fantastic signing for Chelsea imo. Very good defensively and going forward and fairly good in the air. Huge improvement from his Bolton days! Don't think Conte will be happy without a few more in yet.

I actually think the opposite and they'll be doubly motivated to not miss out again. I don't think they've enough to win it but I certainly see them as a serious top 4 prospect.

Tottenham look most at risk to me to drop iout the top 4 with the combination of Wembley and no signings/ their squad already weaker. Chelsea should be pulled right back into the pack. They're massively light and an abnormal winning run/ being so injury free isn't likely to happen again. And Utd have improved with Mata giving Mourinho his leader on the field but the rest of the squad and his tendency to revert to type doesn't scare you any more than anyone else. Had you got Morata and not Lukaku I'd be far more concerned. .

There's only City if I'm looking at the other 5 that have significantly improved themselves to think they're the team you need to finish above to have any chance IMHO.

Yeah agree on Spurs! Don't think Arsenal midfield or defence is top four quality imo.
 
Like the look of Holding will be a very good player in a year or 2. This weekend defo got me excited for the new prem season!
 
I wonder if they'd of got Rudiger as cheap if it wasn't for the knees?

Seemed a bit of an injury discount on that one. Weird how after van Dijk turned them down they didn't persist on what was widely reported their next choice from Napoli. Maybe the opportunity for Rudiger just presented itself? Shrugs.

GET IN! Man off and 1-1.
 
If they were playing Real Madrid next, in any competition/format, the ban would somehow carry. UEFA would make sure of that :)
 
Martin Tyler seems to think straight reds carry over, bookings/ double bookings and red don't. So who knows?

Great. The messed around penalties.
