Kitbag sent me an email to say the whole Chelsea range is 20% off. Says its an email exclusive.

After receiving criticism for cutting the Spanish away shirt, Gerard Pique is quitting the Spanish National Team after the next World Cup. The new Spanish away shirt has a "Spainsh flag detail" on the sleeve piping, but to me, it just looks like red/yellow piping. In reality, he just cut he sleeves on a long sleeve shirt that doesn't have the red/yellow piping. But the early backlash was the final straw for him. A public supporter of Catalonia's indepndence, he is not new to criticism from parts of the Spanish supporters. This made me think of Megan Rapinoe, a United States Women's player who has recently knelt during the national anthem for both her club and country. For those who aren't aware, a number of American athletes are kneeling during the national anthem in protest of the injustice that certain parts of the American populace experience. The protest have been met with much resistance and criticism, but the protests continue to happen every weekend over here. My question is what level of "respect" for your country is expected when appearing for your national team? What would be the reaction if an English National Team player protested the queen while called up?

Same for me. It sucks because I get a spam popup every other time I get on the site from my phone and have to close and reload.

I'm sure it has something to do with it. There are going to be a whole bunch of new Swansea fans in America. We're a country that loves to buy merchandise and pay crazy ticket prices to go see preseason friendlies. Outside of that, there's going to be a ton of interest in Swansea and Bradley just from an American soccer standpoint. I'm sure most American soccer fans will be paying attention to how it all goes. He was our national team manager that was both loved and loathed, and here, it's the general consensus that he's a great guy, and great coach that has taken the long way to the "top".

Personally, I'm really excited for an American to get a chance in the Premier League. I always respected Bradley when he was the USMNT coach. A little bit of background on Bradley: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soccer-insider/wp/2016/10/05/bob-bradley-blazes-a-trail-for-u-s-soccer-in-premier-league-but-he-could-get-burned/

Just goes to show that no one in the league is untouchable and we're not out of anything yet. Everyone is capable of losing.

Nine points from three before the first international break Four points from four between the international breaks

We'll have to get used to it. All of the big Nike clubs share the same template for third kits, and most of them aren't much better. PSG seems to get special treatment. I liked the thirds they have, with the iridescent crest Speaking of PSG, Cavani looks to be doing the job of replacing Ibrahimovic up front. 2 in 2

Thorgan Hazard scores against Barcelona while Eden sits at home on the couch.

Yes and no i can't say anything about Atletico because I don't really follow them, but the big money players weren't expensive when they were signed. Aubameyang was only €13m. Schürrle's €30m transfer is the record. They do spend money, but it's spread through a few really great prospects instead of one or two big name signings.

Schürrle makes it 2-2. I always liked him.

The way Dortmund plays really keeps the match open. This is exciting stuff.

Ivanovic was fine against Arsenal last season.

There's plenty of season left with practically all the games against the top teams yet to be played. Everything is just still really close right now.

After the Swansea game, we were in second. In other words, it's too early to worry about it.

At least he's had plenty of matches to see exactly what it is he shouldn't be doing...

Well, if he's worthy of being in the first team, it definitely isn't as striker. He did maybe 1 or 2 things and then jogged around for the rest of the time.

But I don't get outrage of him saying he expects to return to a place where he spent important years and clearly enjoyed it. He didn't say he didn't like Chelsea. He didn't say he wanted to return now. He didn't tell his boss to go fuck himself. Just that he expects to go back to Spain and that when he contract ends (IN 3 YEARS), that's a good time to consider if he still wants the move. I honestly don't get how that can be bad in any way.

Just last Friday, the team was unable to come back, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. Cahill seems to just get worse doesn't he? He wasn't able to cover when Luiz went out for challenges and found himself looking lost a few times. Really hope Zouma comes back soon. I remember in the summer Conte said he was ahead of schedule, which put him at September...

I love that he's completely honest in his thoughts. The same goes for Hazard. I'm tired of hearing the same crap that circles around a question. Courtois honestly answered a question about if he would want to go back to Spain. Not that if he wants to go back now.

Nothing amazing, but it's his first match. I don't know if he'll replace Ivanovic in the next couple of games, but he probably will eventually.

If Luiz is going to try to win those, Cahill HAS to be ready to clean that up.
