Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Blues Harp]

going to have to pip rs,spurs and arsenal to have a chance at top 4

...in reality we are not going to do that this year....its a steady rebuilding process from the shambles left by martinez.

2004 they come knocking for Rooney for a huge fee.. he scores a hat-trick on his debut for them
2017 they come sniffing for Romelu - he scores 2 on his debut for them..

I think they might come sniffing for this tremendous prospect we have called Oumar.

Anyway.. let's hear it for West Ha Ha Ha Ham..

 

[Billy Dean]

the only weaknesses in that starting XI are Rashford and Valencia

Rashford is ace imo

 

[ToffeeDan]

Can't be a bad weekend when West Ham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Stoke all lose and the RS lose 2 points in the dying seconds.

 

[Huyton Layne]

West Ham look like they can't create chances at all. Utd we're even having to snuff things out. Chicharito will score about 8 with that team if he's lucky

 

[Blues Harp]

looks like manure may win the Champions by end of August trophy this year....not a good w/e for the rs lollol

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

United fans thinking they've won the league already; insufferable set of people. It's WEST HAM. They're a dreadful side.

They'll be in the hunt this season though

United looked very, very good.

The bubble blowers were not really a test, but, manure look greatly improved over last season.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Not looking forward to playing United at all

I'd take a point from that right now if you offered it me

has nothing to do with Martinez anymore, Koeman has brought in a bunch of his own players. just don't think we have enough to compete with United,Chelsea and co anyways

Agreed...could be quite a game when we play them on 17/9......hoping we will have improved by then.

I don't think our defence is robust enough to cope with United.

 

[darkwingduck]

Very impressed with United. The spine of their team is strong as hell, then players like Rashford and Martial can destroy defences, and Mkhitryan and Mata aren't bad. For me their weakest area is left back. If they sign a good left back they will take some beating

Well, I don't fully agree with you there, although though I appreciate the sentiment

We've had two windows cycling out a big chunk of Martinez players, meaning Koeman is still trying to gel his own team

Schneiderlin said in the paper that it might take until October before we see them properly coming together, and I think that's fair

It's going to be a rough start I'm afraid, but I am confident that we'll find some form as the team play more together
