The English Football Thread

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

The Premier League this season on paper looks short of quality. Take West Brom, Swansea and Southampton and Stoke eighth to 12th, then the likes of Burnley, Palace, Hull, Boro, Watford, Bournemouth, Sunderland all could possibly be fighting relegation. Take all those teams and you wonder how on earth the TV deals go for such astronomical amounts of money. This is not a Chelsea fan being smug and superior but when Leicester won the league and enormous credit to them doesn't that show that the league isn't that great ?. Man United won the league in Fergie's last season with a very average team we after the loss to Spurs played the end justifies the means football when we won the league in 2015.

Think Zlatan may bag a couple here against Bournemouth.

Ake with the winner celebrating with Eddie Howe in front of a petrified Mourinho. UP the Cherries come on!!!

Christ, 90 seconds in and these NBC commentators are already drooling about United...

Bournemouth gifting a goal to United, have looked much better than them but now down a goal. You can see United have had a short preseason, several look off the pace, especially Rooney.

Brings back so many memories

So United have one front at half time. I guess there are some "Chelsea fans" that are extremely happy at the moment.

very lucky to be in front, Bournemouth toothless up top. 

[Pizy 17,860]

Two absolute gifts from Bournemouth for the goals.

Man United is so lucky.

To be fair that Zlatan strike was pure skill.

 

Big statement match from Mourinho here....

[Tautvix 1,321]

Yes they are lucky. Jose won 3 titles for us with this "luck". And he will win his 4th with Man Utd now.

If Bournemouth didn't giftem the 2 goals the game would be completely different.

Lol you can only beat whats in front of you though.

[Pizy 17,860]

Bournemouth can play some pretty football when in possession but they're woeful defensively.

This is the sort of team that the likes of Zlatan will destroy and score loads against. My tip for Golden Boot.

This is what Man Utd fans used to say about us with Jose. If if if... If doesn't count mate. And we used to say that about SAF too  And he has 13 Epl titles hasn't he

[Tautvix 1,321]

I wish we are lucky with Conte too because otherwise we are not gonna fight for the title.

Exactly and if hadn't gifted goals still might be ahead anyway. Either way winning at the moment..annoying
