The FA Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup are both about 2 weeks away and the start of the Premier League is about 3 weeks away. Are you ready for some football?

City and United were supposed to play in China today but too much rain created a cancellation. Pep is sad. Closing in on getting Jesus signed though! Pep now with 150% more Pep! Nothing like a manager named Pep.

Didn't get to watch as much football as I would have liked to over the weekend but the opening weekend of the Premier League is on the books.

I guess the only real surprise was newly-promoted Hull City making Leicester the first reigning champion in the Premier League era to lose their opener. (Last in English top-flight was Arsenal in 89-90)

It was good to see Chelsea playing like Chelsea this afternoon and controlling the match against a good West Ham side, eventually getting a 2-1 result on Diego Costa's 89th minute strike.

Cesc Fabregas scored 2 goals, 2 minutes apart, in the first 4 minutes of extra time and Chelsea look to put the reigning league champs out of the League Cup.

Chelsea lead 4-2 after the first period of ET and the Foxes are down to 10 men.

Chelsea's recent form in the league has been remarkable. 5 straight wins with 16 goals for and 0 conceded. This is since their formation change to 3 at the back. They have been playing brilliant attacking football and have been stifling on defense. 21-1 in shots today against the #6 side in the league. Ridiculous! It was like FIFA worth bad sliders.

All that said, long way to go in the season and there's a good chance that they'll be overtaken tomorrow. But for today, top of the league!

Leicester got an extremely favorable draw in the group stage of the UCL. They'll cruise to the round of 16. After that, it will depend on who they draw in the knockout stages. They could exit right away or last a couple rounds, depending on the draw.

There's no "you", just "they". All I do is watch. ;)

That said, done. 30 matches spanning 26 years without a win at Stamford Bridge for the shit from Spurs.

Seven straight wins in the league for Chelsea but they finally conceded a goal after going 601 minutes without doing so.

My team also won yesterday. Blue is the color, our color too, and in the name of our anthem. We had a draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach earlier in the week. Say that 5 times really fast before the brain explodes from the excessive use of teamspeak. ;)

It was great to see City melt down in stoppage time with straight reds for Aguero and Fernandinho. Hopefully the suspensions will cost them more points.

City are fading and are currently out of a Champions League position.

That is what happens when you walk your ass into Burnley, you gonna get burned. Sprus lose and if you look closely, Man City with a win on Monday jumps to the second spot and only 8 points behind Chelsea.

steelerfan

Only 8. :D GTFO.

The educated observer would realize that Burnley are level with Arsenal and are tied for 3rd for points at home with 29 at Turf Moor this season.

12 games to go for Man City since the Man U game was postponed. Thus giving you the 10 points clear. ;) Good last month for City, won every Premier League Match, 2 goal win in the first leg of the Champions League and the only blemish was a tie to Huddersfield in the FA Cup that they played with a ton of reserves due to the CL match coming three days later. Still cruised to a 5-1 win to go the Quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

It sucks because I liked Ranieri, but I guess whatever it takes to get the club turned around and winning Premier League matches again.

Congrats to Chelsea.


Not to take away from the champions but today just happens to be the 5th year anniversary of the greatest final day in League football history. Two goal comeback in extra time. Games being played at the same time with Man U ending just before the City comeback. Two Manchester teams, one the underdog and the other the world beater who just won 4 of the previous 5 championships.
