Closed Burnley v Chelsea

[Jusek 2,031]

Only 11 hours until kick off!

Going by the other opening day matches this is going to be quite tough. All the top teams if not all the teams struggled so I don't expect any different from us. Any kind of win would do. I predict a costa penalty and a hazard conversion.

I will be surprised if we win by 3 or 4 goals to 0. First game away against a newly promoted side will be very very tough. Especially after they were runner up champions.

[Hutcho 8,443]

I doubt we will win by loads. Be great if we did but look at the previous 9 games this past weekend.

Only city won by more than a goal. And that was against the run of play.

All the teams are fresh, and crucially are raring to go and wanting to make an impact.

A win with a decent performance and a clean sheet would be great. But ultimately let's get 3 points and move on to the next game.

I will be surprised if we win by 3 or 4 goals to 0.

First match of the season. A lot of key players still picking up form after the WC. Away against a newly promoted, highly motivated team. I'd be very happy with any win to be honest. 0-1 in the 93th minute ... Where do I sign?? :-)

Oh wait, we got Costa now: 0-3

[ParNolio7 285]

No, because not a single team is capable of winning a league (let alone the BPL) playing unconvincingly in most of it's 38 games...

You have clearly not witnessed Anderlecht's title win in Belgium last year :-D

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

It has "Chelsea vs Wigan opener with last second Crespo's goal" written all over it. I even wouldn't mind the same dramatic jammy 3pts this time but I need to wear gloves just in case to be nail-less after the game.

[ParNolio7 285]

Hopefully we win by 2+ goals so I can get $200 bet payout

True love for the club ...

Anyway, you can kiss your money goodbye, not gonna happen (unfortunately).

The play-off system is absolutely ridiculous.

[bethos1 802]

0-3 Costa x2, 1x Hazard

A convincing win would be a great start for this season.

[ParNolio7 285]

The play-off system is absolutely ridiculous.

Evidently!

No one liked it beforehand, no one likes it now, and still we're going through with it #OnlyInBelgium

Anyway, back to topic!

[ParNolio7 285]

Cesc?

Haha, are you not aware that "Cesc" and "Fabregas" are actually the same player, Cesc being the first name & Fabregas the surname

[edetarod 2,155]

is it too much to ask that we win 7-0?

[Kieran. 6,317]

3-0, Schurrle brace, Hazard

[thehappyone 140]

Mark my words everyone

1. Costa hat trick

2. Fabregas goal

3. Chelsea defender goal

5-0

And we will stay top the rest of the season

If this doesn't happen I will volunteer to be tested on with Ebola
