Shocking isn't it.

The next statement he said after predicting we wouldn't be able to cope with their front players, was he had no sympathy for Rafa but of all the riches he had last year and how anyone should have been able to get us out of the championship with the squad he had.

Schmeichel first comment is "the first thing is the lack of premier league experience" ffs 9 of the 11 have played in the PL !! do some research ! Sherwood, "Clark I had him a Villa, not good enough used to relegation". Predictable.

Excited now, pre show just started, great we've got mensa's in Schmeichel and Sherwood I'm sure they will be totally clued up on us.

I enjoyed the games today, great to have an interest in the PL again, out from the wilderness

Knockheart that was crap, got a feeling he won't cut it in this league.

Brighton need to be careful they don't get hammered in the end here.

Is this how we have to play this season to survive ? Brighton aren't even counter attacking, they are just sticking everyone behind the ball, doing a really good job though, not sure if I could watch it all season though.

Good first half from Brighton tbh, obviously they've done practically nothing offensively but they've defended very well and kept a great shape, Man City have struggled to break them down.

Absolutely, deliberate hand ball.

Refs are way better than we were used to Shame Oliver is a toon fan I think.

Gottae really suits Chris, looking rather dapper

Brighton actually not doing that bad, holding a good shape and not giving Man City much room to work in, but can they sustain the concentration levels required ?

The team they were so excited about barely drawing at home against, just got beat 2-0 at their place.

Starting off with a 4, as I firmly believe Rafa will not have us in a relegation battle.

Clear red on Cahill like, doesn't matter if he missed the player, his studs were well up.

Palace are laughable right now, they did create a chances in the 2nd half before Huddersfield got their third, but never really looked like getting anything out of the game. They've got a lot of work to do on adjusting to this new style.

He really should have had a hatrick, but took his two goals very well, has to be said, they have bought well there.

Gonna be a tough second game, going there for their first ever PL game.

Missed a sitter there Dann for Palace, they've been the better side in the second half, should have gotten one back, now Huddersfield hit them on the break with a great goal, 3-0.

With the amount of money they have invested it really should be by now.

Wow, that's hilarious, I hope Terry was at fault for all three goals

They've got a lot of talent, but got the feeling they telied heavily on Lukaku last season, not sure if Koeman really is as good as he was when he first came to England. Should be comfortably 7th though.

Mounie so slow there, should have been 3

Not quite as badly as we did. Very true. Hull now 3-1 up, how did that happen, Wolves beating Derby and Reading and Fulham level.
