Well, that was an utterly shit day of football. Extremely limp, even for opening day.
The good stuff doesn't start 'til Monday.

Cringed when I saw the chambers/holding pairing on the back line. Think the manager got that one horribly wrong.
Sanchez struggled and never got into the game.
Ramsey and Iwobi off with injuries. Why does that not surprise me.
Fucking shit. Tired of the same BS over and over again

Arsenal have won 1 out of their last 7 season opening games. It's pathetic that any moron with half a brain can see where improvements are needed, and they still refuse to sign anybody.
It's not good when even actual fans of the team don't know who the starting CB is (unless you were really keying in on those pre-season matches I guess).
Mertesacker was also injured 3 weeks ago, so there's been plenty of time to bring someone in. That's when it became clear that Arsenal absolutely needed to buy a center back. And yet they've done nothing except maybe sniffed around Mustafi (who I think would be a great signing, for what it's worth).
They'll probably buy a center back before the deadline ends, and possibly a center forward, too. In the mean time, Arsenal can barely put a good starting 11 out there against two pretty damn good teams to start the year. But hey, at least Arsenal will finish 4th again!
I think they are still negotiating with Valencia of Shkodran Mustafi. Of course, Valencia are holding out for more money because Arsenal both brags about how much cash they have on hand and are desperate for a defender.
Mostly pleased with what I saw from Chelsea on Monday. They need to be a little more lethal in front of goal, so a sloppy goal surrendered doesn't cost them points......as it almost did. But they dictated the flow of the game, and they didn't screw around in possession. There was a much quicker tempo to their attacks than usual.
Wenger talking some absolute bollocks in his post interview.
Saying "Arsenal are more concerned with making sure they can pay all their wages than spending 300 million." eh?
I see Liverpool has returned to form
This is basically all sportsBaseball is something you really need to have a team you care about to watch. Seeing a random game on TV is about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Rooney probably has Irish lineage since he is Scouse.
He does for sure- but this was about players who were actually from Ireland, not just eligible for the national team. The equivalents would be something like 80 consecutive years of Real having someone from Uruguay, or Bayern having someone from Austria. Pretty crazy.
Disregarding it's legitimacy, doesn't really matter still funny, what is minimum wage over there? Damn that's low
That's about $28-30k a year depending on the exchange, which I think is more than our minimum wage.
Minimum wage based on age? Wtf
What squiggly rate are you using? To me it looks more like $18-19k to me.
Thought maybe a city like London would have at least a higher minimum wage to account for cost of living but I guess it makes sense as well.
Dont think it does - @hayvisAccording to the figures though we do have a higher min. wage than US. /shrug
Would make sense, plus I believe some of the basic benefits you guys have are better. Comparing it to the US is tricky just because state and city differences. To me that wage and living in/around London would be crazy. And I guess if you compare it to the US it would be like a Bama minimum wage while living in NYC/SF. For example California's minimum wage is $10 and San Francisco's $13 (still realistically not liveable within the city).
On another note did anyone make a prem fantasy team and plan on getting through most of the season? I'd be up to have a league with an fellow nutopians who already made teams, just for shits.
