Wimmer to Southampton then?
Hmmm, Blackpool fans would disagree

We had a big squad at the start of last season then let Oscar Mikel and ivanovic go without replacing them then Costa is in limbo, matic is sold, and JT went. We're still at least 3 players short, it's been a terrible window for us so far.
People scoffing at the idea of us spending money but do some research? We've lost a lot of players, manager is fuming about it, we generally sell to buy to stay within FFP, our net spend is low this season, same thing as Jose was 2 years ago, we're competing in multiple competitions and unlike other teams we actually like to win trophies.
The club want young players with resell possibilities and Conte was experience. Think he is going to get what he wants, because the board will know he will actually walk if he's not getting backed

I was sceptical of City, but watch them come out with a 6-0 and brutalise Brighton, staring at every other club whose played today who had any inkling of challenging for the title.

Still shaking my head why they let Batshuayi start instead of Morata. He's hold up play is shocking today. I miss Costa.

I loved Michy in preseason, but he's been shocking in the Community Shield and today as well. Crazy how Morata scored with 10 men and assisted with 9.

Now think that before today there were people here insisting that he's better than Morata. Lol.

Happy for Rooney to score on his second debut. However we're going to need to be much better, I'm not holding out much hope for the next few games we have. A new striker to change with Sandro is needed quickly.

It's been a weird day but I will be stunned if City don't walk away with this.
Ignore him - Arsenal win one game and he's already running his mouth off
In Chelsea news...
Positives first I guess: Morata looks a class act. Christensen grew into it, Rudiger too - having both of them in a new look back three is probably what cost us though. Nice to see a bit of fight second half as well, rather than us looking sorry for yourselves.
Negatives... Cahill's idiocy cost us the game. Him going off forced 2 new guys into a back three with Luiz (who isn't the best organiser). Also I think going to three at the back after the red was a mistake, we should have just gone 4 at the back so we could keep pressure on Burnley higher up the pitch.
Other notes: added time remains a massive joke. Pawson constantly pointed at his watch when Burnley were wasting time and we got 4 minute added on. Four. In the second half there were 5 subs, 2 goals and a red card BEFORE any time wasting.
Oh and Burnley can fuck off. Run around a lot and defend with as many people as legally possible. They're like Allardyce's Bolton without any of the quality or flair.
I would have been way more worried if we didn't create chances. Swansea came down to do one thing.
Charlton fans would have something to say about that too.

So much salt in that tweet.
This would only make sense if Wimmer is leaving us and our Juan Foyth efforts have failed.
Blame the ref, criticise anyone but the players and totally ignore the reasons why you lost just like Mourinho's last season.
Also, Clattenburg's a wanker.

Alien 3 Silva.
Stay losing Chelsea fans

bless.
Least Charlton fans didn't have their Prem parachute payment disappear. The Oyston's are scum.

I mean, I'm pretty sure if you read my posts above I called the defending awful?
Not sure there's any posts where I said we played wonderfully. Ref is a twat and looking for it, but we also played dreadfully in the first half which was unnecessary

Amazing start for the season! Arsenal wins, Liverpool draws, Chelsea loses 😂
Go Brighton!

They're all shit, but seeing as everyone (who've spent all day shitting on Chelsea, shockingly) were all whining that I said it wasn't red, figured I'd point out someone who agreed with my assessment.
We'll have to see if the red card is rescinded, assuming we appeal it

Brighton still haven't conceded 3 goals...
Heh. Now that this thread has a measure of activity again, surround sound bollocking is to be expected - especially if a big team loses. Just gotta roll with it.
Mourinho Season
I'm going to save this just so I can remember Huddersfield were once top of the premier league.
Reckon we can beat Newcastle next weekend...

"Very good call by ref". Really? That handball was extremely obvious.

Nice catch by the ref to see the hand ball at the end, it was so brief but he caught it.
I was talking about the tweet.

Thought he blew because he collided with the keeper.
