63% possession away is pretty good going.

We're Never Ever going to win this.

Let's get this mother f**kin' show on the road!!

Interesting, especially as we have and unfit Clyne on the bench instead. I wonder if he might be after a move somewhere else.

Yoshi is probably a bit jet lagged and wont have been 100% in training. No idea on Guly and Punch. Must be injured I'd have thought.

Must be having a sh*t.

Shaw starts, Clyne misses out Boruc, Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Ward-Prowse, Lallana ©, Rodriguez, Lambert.

If all you care about is the table you might be quite disappointed but I enjoyed beating the likes of Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea last year. I'm not sure what else you really want from football. We had a chance of winning the lower leagues but losing at places like Tranmere, Walsall and Rochdale was pretty crap IMO.

I'll give it a go. There are usually a couple of teams who get it spectacularly wrong on day 1, so I'm going with. Liverpool vs Stoke = 3-0 Arsenal vs Villa = 3-2 Norwich vs Everton = 0-1 Sunderland vs Fulham = 0-2 West Brom vs Saints = 2-2 West Ham vs Dragons = 3-1 Swansea vs Man U = 1-2 Palace vs Spurs = 0-4 Chelsea vs Hull = 3-0 City vs Newcastle = 4-1

I vaguely remember a story, I think it was from the French revolution when they were lopping the heads off the aristocracy, where a few blokes were getting the guillotine. Apparently one of them held a grudge against the previous guy who had been executed and when his head fell into the basket he bit the other guy on the nose.

I think Hasselbaink and Fowler at Cardiff a few years ago might have given them a run for their money.

It's probably the first Premier League campaign in my lifetime when I haven't been worried about relegation going into the start. Never say never but I can't see the squad we have going down. Pretty excited overall.

No but I wasn't distracted by a full time job running a football team either. I'm sure Poch is improving, he just isn't quite there yet.

After 8 months of doing French at school I could barely order a coffee with milk and a croc monsieur. I doubt Poch has achieved fluency in a similar period of time.

I wonder if journalists get bored of asking the same bland, generic questions all the time. "How much are you looking forward to the new season?"

Haven't seen them online for less than about £65 with printing. Wouldn't mind one either, for about half the price.

I fear Rickie will have to score 3 times as many goals as Carroll to get his seat on the plane. Don't forget Carroll once cost £35m and used to play for Liverpool and is therefore automatically better.

Lovren's international team mate Ivan Strinic looked a decent LB at the Euros last summer, caused a lot of problems for Italy and Ireland. Haven't seen any more of him than that, think he plays for Dnipro.

I was watching him on Facebook earlier, then he started saying some random stuff about Newport county, then he uploaded some pictures doing some weird pervy stuff with a hamster... I kind of stopped watching after that. Hope this helps.

Was working until about midnight and didn't see the score until then. Couldn't believe my eyes at first, I'd hoped Lambert would at least get a decent run out and dreamed that he might score. To come on and score the winner with his first ever touch for England, that's just a fairy tale. Nobody deserves an England cap and goal more than Rickie, a true professional, a nice bloke and a top player. Come on Rickie, now you've got to earn that plane ticket to Brazil. Incidentally, who was the last Saints player to score for England? Did Crouch manage it before we sold him? Not Bridge, Beattie or Le Tiss sadly. I'm beginning to wonder if it's happened in my lifetime.

It's easier to score in 70 minutes than 20.

What is your West Indian cricket name? Take the surname of the US president when you were born and the name of the town you grew up in. I am Reagan Lincoln

Nasty. Get well soon Rudi.

Boo boys being players who aren't actually booed but who are often criticised for their obvious faults? Perhaps your last sentence should read, 'no actual boos whatsoever, so little time.' Interesting how if someone has a negative opinion of a player it's an opinion, however if a large number of people happen to share that opinion, the player then becomes a boo boy.
