Oh I don't think they'll challenge for the CL spots, I just think their trajectory is much closer to that than Arsenal's.

And the best example of a team that fucked it up last year is Leicester. They had CL in their grasp and completely choked.

We'll see. Arsenal is breaking in some new pieces and may go in a different direction with their manager. Tottenham is just kind of treading water while slowly sinking. They finished, what, 7th last season?

Looked it up. 6th on a tiebreaker.

Spurs have a nice ramping up period with Watford and Palace before they host Chelsea. Perfect schedule for a new boss. Supposedly Adama Torre is on deck if Harry Kane leaves.

I have no faith in The Brodge but maybe I'm still bitter about 2013. (insert MoJames slip gif).

I like Antonio. That's a guy who seems like he just loves being out there. The cardboard cutout celebration was fun. 

another guy Southampton let slip away. (although he took a long time to develop his game)

Traore's move would be a loan with an option to buy next year. I doubt it's actually connected to Kane moving.

Starting with the defending champions is not a perfect schedule for a new boss.

I was referring to the schedule from this week till you play Chelsea. You already beat the defending champions which was a boost for the new boss so in actuality it helped Nuno greatly. Now he gets more chances to further install and refine his system with the players before Chelsea.

Debatable. You'd almost rather catch City early. They went deep in Europe and it took them awhile to get going last year. Plus there's zero expectation to win that one - you get to play with house money. Chelsea and Wolves as 2 of the next 4 is the more difficult aspect of that start imo.

25-1 on shots.  Is that bad?

Big Sam is rested and ready.  He's never been relegated*

 

*until last season

It was 21-22 to 6 last week without a red in the 35th. 

They get Norwich and Burnley now before Spurs. Have to think Arteta is coaching for his job in these next 3*.

Friends,

Please help a casual club guy out: any Nats featuring right now? Which match should I be watching?

Nothing comes to mind. Sargent might come off the bench for Norwich.

... and honors even in the 13th.

Buendia with a great strike from 18 yards out.

Calmed down a bit now. I had no idea how this squad would respond with so many guys out.

Southampton huffing and puffing with nothing to show for it. 

possession -Southampton 63% to 39%

shots -Southampton 11(3) to 4(1)

scoreless at half time

will probably lose 1-0

Leicester and Norwich are level going into the half. 

How the heck did they need VAR on that penalty by LCFC? That is about as clear as a penalty as you will see.

These Everton Black w/ a red sash jerseys are pretty solid. They certainly aren't an every game look, but they aren't bad. 

Well... apparently they are the away kits for this season.

Their home kits remain my favorite PL look.

Norwich should be level on a nice header but Cantwell is a dumb dumb and was in a needless offside position next to the keeper which disallowed the goal.

Another solid performance for Everton.  Winning PL matches, especially away, is good anytime, but getting off to a strong start to the season was crucial for them to tamp down some of the negativity from the anti-Rafa people. 

He seems to be doing a really good job with this team, which isn't all that much different than last year's team in terms of personnel.

Glad to see the solid start but remember, we were 4-0-0 in the first month last year. Fool me once and all that. 

we have an amazing schedule to start. Only one big 6 club before November. 

although, last year, it was the shit teams that we struggled so much with and we generally did well against the top half of the table so nice to actually take care of business against teams we should. Today was good negotiating ammo for richarlison and Real Madrid. 

would be nice if we could get some money for James and use it to buy another creative midfielder like James…but that actually plays occasionally.

I’m a big fan of our thirds this year. Though we got rocked the one time we have worn them.
