Hard to see Mou surviving much longer. Well beaten by Brighton and (today) Spurs.

Agreed, not even close. Wonder what Alexis is thinking?

Probably cursing Wenger for not selling him to City. Which, I’m glad Wenger held firm; screw City.

Bundesliga officially begins tomorrow with Bayern vs Hoffenheim in the afternoon. Fox does pretty good coverage but not as great as nbc does with the premier league.

Love this league, the intensity and atmosphere created by the fans is awesome. Sadly, Bayern will probably coast to the title yet again but the games are super enjoyable.

I'm ok with your "sadly" scenario Mia San Mia!

Meanwhile in Serie A.....

Ancelotti's Napoli continue to entertain sans Sarri.




While the turnover in the Roman Legion has yet to be settled

Clint Dempsey retired today. Great player, great Texan.

For real. Kinda wish he had done more.

We are ok, he stuck with what he good at. Scoring goals. Not always pretty but always gritty.

MU v Juventus is a great opening round game. Ronaldo vs his old club. Liverpool not in an easy bracket this year.

Brutal group for Liverpool, and Spurs do not have an easy path to the knockout stages either. This should be an interesting group stage.

For those of us relegated to the "Kiddie Table" of European football this season...

Group E
Arsenal
Sporting Lisbon
Qarabag (Azerbaijan)
Vorskla (Ukraine)

Should be pretty straightforward for Arsenal (famous last words); I'm expecting a loss in Lisbon but top the group. I did have to look up where the other two sides were located.

Group L
Chelsea
Paok
Bate Borisov
Vidi (Hungary)

Can't see Chelsea not topping this group.

I can't bring myself to cheer for Galatasaray, so go Schalke.

ARS with the 3-2 win today over Cardiff City. 2 in a row.

Oh boy. If MU doesn’t win today vs Burnley...

 

[Chongo94]

It is just amazing how poor Wenger left Arsenal, defensively speaking. Of course, failing to address the same issues for nearly a decade will do that I guess.

Anyone know why they’re showing the ManU vs Burnley game instead of Watford vs Tottenham like my guide says?

Watching a Mourinho match is painful.

 

[Tom Brown]

Watford great start to the season!

 

[Portland Frog]

Whoa. Watford beat Tott.

 

[Chongo94]

Watford great start to the season!

Did you get to watch it? I’m pissed my guide said that was on and then I turn it on to find Burnley vs ManU.
