19 th for last season champions ?? We will be at least 17th
Were not top of the league but only 3 points off it
I fear a long season go foxes

Our makeshift defence did okay today - only 13 fit first team players ...hated owners (at the moment) ... fans protest & boycott & top of the Premier League even if just for a week

Man City looked weak - scraping through courtesy of an own goal.

Absurd BT punditry putting the win down to Pep's Golden Touch - I really don't think that was the case tonight lads. The win was down to two things; one stupid pen' and an own goal - pure and simple.

And then, post match, they said that they had exhibited the 'soul' that Pep' is asking for - in complete contrast to the (truthful) lacklustre & indifferent City performance that they were commenting on throughout the match itself.

Tossers!

Well we almost screwed that up. Still a win is a win

I can't see Wenger lasting the season. The pressure on him must be enormous and the fans have long started to turn against him.

Good to have the Prem back looking like it could be a good season ahead going on the weekends results so far. Goals Goals Goals for the Super Sunday.

I believe there is a vacant managers position at another Premier League Club

Nearly three hours of a game but we got there in the end!

We bring you £15-20k in gate money, you cheat us out of the competition and get fined £5k? Where is the justice? We are not appealing because we feel sorry for you.

How did we cheat you out of the competition? We might've been lucky to take it to penalties but it was all fair and square. If you mean the player, it was only a technicality, we only had 11 players on the pitch like Bradford had.

This is the stuff legends are made of:

With anticipation high ahead of the visit of Pep Guardiola’s side, Steaua owner Gigi Becali had commissioned a “tifo” at the Arena Nationala in Bucharest to mark 30 years since their victory in the 1986 European Cup final. However, when the huge mosaic was unveiled just before kick off, it was revealed to say “Doar Dinamo Bucuresti” (Only Dinamo Bucharest). According to reports in Romania, the display had been organised by a group of Dinamo fans who posed as professionals offering to help prepare the display before the match.

Just seen on You tube that if Looney plays every championship game in a season, his wages work out at £4600 per minute!! By comparison, a top cyclist like Froome, Contador get £181 per minute for racing. Now, which one of the two is working the hardest I ask you? In my book, footballers are just a bunch of w*****rs, certainly not worth the money they are getting. It is obscene.
