Premier League Fixtures - 16/17th August (Spoilers)

[NokkonWud]

We may have come second every year. But as the squad isn't weaker this season at all, and with a further player coming in, the only real loss we've had is losing our Assistant Manager.

We lost the first game last season and still won a double .

 

[lemonkettaz]

Yeh but Chelsea didnt look as good as they do now at the start of last season

 

[NokkonWud]

After one game? Odd really as I remember people writing our season off after 1 game last year too...

 

[lemonkettaz]

Im saying Chelsea look a lot better with the players they have at the start of this season.

 

[FrankJH]

One game against a pretty woeful side is no where near enough evidence to say they look a better side imo

They may well end up with a bigger points tally at the end of the season - but Pompey wherent exactly a test yesterday

(Im sure a week today at FP they will give Man Utd a much harder test)

Utd fan by any chance?

Chelsea looked better against Portsmouth than Utd did against Newcastle, I don't think anyone could deny that!

 

[NokkonWud]

I don't think anyone would disagree, however Chelsea weren't missing 8 serious first squad players and playing a further 2 who weren't fully fit (Carrick had a knock and Rooney was ill).

 

[The_Judge]

We don't allow that word on here. Big Kev were awful yesterday, even with a million first team players missing, they should have turned us over.

 

[Miguél]

News just in The FA have decided to hand Chelsea the premier league trophy for the 2008/09 season based on the first game of the season!

NokkonWud in "getting his football facts wrong shocker"!

Sod off, lol. I was leaving the house. I know what I meant!
I was even at the Reading 0-0 game. When you draw with Reading it feels like a loss.

I am rarely wrong regarding facts though, you seem to have me confused with another Man Utd fan.

 

[red11]

Oh thank God, there it is! I've been looking for it. Form a queue behind me guys! And no touching my backside G|mp, who do you think I am.... Baz? I don't rock that way.

A draw was a fair result. Our finishing again highlights the need for another attacking player up front.

 

[G|mp]

I've resisted the urge thus far, ill wait until 4 games in

Thats for pressing the panic button not yours Dave

 

[cheets64]

Dont worry lads, we will win you the league on Sunday like we did for you last season at Chelsea.

Wasnt trying to deny it - but it would be interesting to see the result of Pompey playing so badly at OT (even with the same players we had for the 1st 20 minutes) to get a true reflection of the differences
