different level

Really hope Morata starts instead of Bats as he desperately needs game time. Rudiger should also feature in the heart of the defense alongside Luiz and Cahill, while Azpi plays as a RWB.

Point still stands.

That's what I mean. Not many leaders in our established lineup among the ones who are supposedly good at set pieces/penalties. Cesc, Willian, Alonso, Luiz... at least one of them should have stepped up.

The penalty takers choice was odd to say the least. A centre back, a GK and a new guy. Can't really put any blame on Alvaro tho, I think he did okay after he came in, considering we went to 10 man in the last 10 mins. Hopefully he starts against Burnley and we finally sign a full back and a midfielder next week.

Wow, what a bunch of losers. Amazing how we went from Lamps, Drogba and co to these guys.

This is no Champions League final. I couldn't care less...

I recall Ivanovic getting a straight red against Man City in the 2012 Community Shield match and he didn't get any suspension, He played in the PL opener against Wigan and even scored.

Absolute cunt of a ref. Fills Chris Foy's shoes perfectly.

Come on, Antonio. Morata for Bats, please.

Wow! Moses of all people! Nice!

Anyone getting 2015/2016 season vibes?

I'd wish him the best of luck, but that would be a blatant lie on my behalf. Not a fan of us sorting it out for our rivals.

Useless refs. Really starting to appreciate the EPL guys.

I'm never going to watch a preseason game again. With nothing to play for our players don't even bother trying.

Cunt of a ref. He's ready for the Premier League.

I wonder if the sleeve sponsor will be added to the shirts they're selling in the megastore, so you could have an exact copy of what the players wear during matchday. I think I'll wait for the season to start before buying.

I mean I'm very happy and excited, but £70 m are way too excessive for a player that is somewhat unproven to be the leading striker of a top team (or any team). I'm still cautiously optimistic, I hope he fulfills the great expectations we have for him and turn out to be the world class striker we paid for.

It is what it is, a plain blue shirt. Would have been better if the sleeves were in a noticeably darker blue tone.

That's just a plain blue shirt with our badge and the sponsor. Looks boring with no creativity put into it. Hope the actual one looks nothing like that.

As bad as we were the cunts still got a gift goal which was utterly embarrasing. Am I only one left with a bad taste from what was a great season for us?

Just goes to show how greatly this team overachieved this season. We were never that good against the top 6 sides. No complacency with the summer deals, please, otherwise I won't be surprised if we get spanked heavily in the Champions League next year.

LMAO. Well, I am now.

OMG, WOW! I was just typing that I'm almost done with this shit, lol. Right on fn time, Diego!

We're losing this, aren't we?

Alright, that's more like it. 93 points and 30 wins ends the second best EPL season by the winning team. Don't party too much because there's the FA Cup final waiting in less than a week.
