This is the same Sunderland who've spent fortunes upon fortunes on players in the last few years? You're telling me that they are insufficiently prepared to mount even the vaguest of attacks against a team with a famously terrible defence? Most teams who have a go in games like that get some reward. It's embarrassing.

[Marlowe]

Sunderland were pretty woeful against Arsenal. I've got no problem with setting up defensively, but they barely even attempted to counter-attack when Arsenal were exposed.

[exwhyzed]

Arsenal fan in bitter as fuck shocker.

[Silent Runner]

West Ham lol.

[Art Vandelay]

exwhyzed and Disciple are posting again. Brilliant.

[Headache]

Seven goals so far in our first two games, as a Swans fan it feels like Christmas has come very early!

[Scruff]

It may as well be Christmas. You won't get gifted any easier two goals this season.

I get annoyed when United don't win but it's your own teams fault. It's like how some of your fans handled the RvP situation: "I never want a player to get injured but I'd LOL my Head off". I mean what.

[Revival]

Prepare to be constantly annoyed this season then.

Ah swansea at the top of the league. History is made.

Ah swansea at the top of the league. History is made.

Not that I think the same fate awaits Swansea, but Wolves were top after their third game last season.

[Herbalizer]

Britton played for us when we were 92nd in the entire football league and today he played in the game that put us top of the Prem

[Colonel Dibble]

What a great day this has been for football so far. Watched West ham get battered by a rampant swansea side, then watched Everton, United and Norwich; Switching between the lot. Can't wait for Chelsea and Newcastle, it's good to watch English football again!

[exwhyzed]

Which nob said Plymouth wouldn't score

[Colonel Dibble]

Any predictions for Chelsea vs Newcastle. I think and hope Newcastle might get a 2-1 win. All I can do is pray

[fat flatulent git]

Very happy with a point away at Spurs after hammering Liverpool.

[Colonel Dibble]

And a Beautiful penalty from Eden Hazard, sets Chelsea on their way! 1-0 Chelsea

[hercules]

Thre pens in three games for chelsea now right? Hazard has started his chelsea career well. Rooney's gash was horrible!

Yeah. 5 of Chelsea's goals has been set up by Hazard out of 7. Now he has just scored.

[Silent Runner]

Nice goal for Torres - another assist for Hazard.

[Colonel Dibble]

Fuck me, lovely goal from Torres just before half time and after he was given a yellow for diving, which he shouldn't have got. Nice build up play and yet again set up by hazard with a little back-heel. Torres thumped that one in near post. My predictions may be a little off

[El Pibe]

Which nob said Plymouth wouldn't score

At least they still lost!

Utter, utter shit. Are they there just to amuse you?

[exwhyzed]

It's not Arsenal's fault for not scoring it's Sunderland's for not making it easy. Of course they're gonna defend like mad when you have strikers the quality of Robin van p.....

nevermind.

[Rocafella]

Someone's still butthurt from the end of last season.

[exwhyzed]

I've forgotten about it. I look away when the Sky Sports advert comes on.

[neoELITE]

If anyone wants to make a bit of cash on the betting tomorrow put some money on Oxford to win against Plymouth and for Oxford to keep a clean sheet. We've played six games against league opposition in friendlies x 3, league games x 2 and a league cup game and only scored 3. We scored all 3 against Portsmouth in the League Cup but they fielded an entire team of under 18s (apart from one guy who is a coach and a retired player). We haven't scored a goal against league opposition at all and Oxford have won both their opening games, are at home and hammered us last season. It's 4/6 with Paddy Power just for Oxford to win. Oxford keeping a clean sheet is 6/5.

I don't often bet and I never bet when I'm skint (I am at the moment) but I'd put £100 on Oxford to win if I had a bit in the bank. It's an easy £60.

I got negged for this... I was right other than the clean sheet for Oxford. I think the person who negged me lost out.

All together now everyone. Nice and loud.
