Top 7 in the Premier League looks pretty daunting already. Can't see anyone else breaking into it for a sustained period.

Absolute magic being in the ground (thanks to NO). Shelvey and Ritchie, man.

A proper fucking graph-off going on here like.

Throw Reading's record-breaking season in there too. Say it quietly.

Only one £90M midfielder on the pitch. De Bruyne has been incredible.

Even the sound quality of Football Focus is shit in the 'London Stadium'.

Leicester 5/1 to beat Liverpool today.

The thread title and negativity Hope we do well. Think it's reasonable for him to lower expectations before his first game.

Free agent Charles N'Zogbia linked to Burnley & Middlesbrough. Has he been mentioned in our search for wingers?

Janmaat was one of a handful of proven Premier League players we had left. Our squad is weaker without him. He's been sold for less than his market value. Not a disaster but no need to try and spin those facts.

Exactly what we need in this league. Anita running his bollocks off and making us more 'solid' is not. Pitiful fee. Who's going to replace him on the welcome committee?

Tempted by Pogba anytime but just sticking £50 on Man Utd to win for the Betfair offer.

The 'He still might I suppose.' kills me. Stunning.

If someone could sort me out a winning bet for the 365 offer that'd be grand.

Us, Villa, Norwich, Leicester & Man Utd to win - £10 @ 20/1

No offence, but are you mad? Neither played well but only one was trying to lead the team on the pitch. Hear Lascelles has given a good interview mind.

Captain in all but name, always organising. Looked like he was babysitting an extremely nervous Lascelles.

Petulant and frustrating but simply Premier League quality on the ball. Must let him play.

So difficult to get a ticket for this, man. Couldn't even get a home one at the box office this morning without Fulham booking history. Last plea to anyone who has a spare pop up today!

How do you vote in the poll if you think we're certain to get promoted but not necessarily as champions? Anyway, 10. Huge value in the 'record points total' bet. Reading lost 2 and drew 13.
