Premier League 2014/15 Stuff it in here.

[Fat Mac]

Southampton are still better than the likes of Newcastle, Stoke, Swansea, Hull etc. Everyone is quick to jump on the Southampton will struggle bandwagon but I'm predicting top 10 again for them.

[st albans fox]

Bookies reacted to opening fixtures with us now 5th favourites to go down behind burley, qpr, palace and west brom.

Almost as bad as the Tony Pulis club branded baseball cap. Almost.

Never even heard the name before: 

Courtois 

Azpilicueta 

Godin 

Luis 

William 

Matic

Wow. Burnley are in for a shock... I predict a hammering possibly 6-0ish!

[Jimothy]

that Burnley fan. Apparently he's not heard of Godin, but he must have because he's heard his name somewhere and it wasn't playing for Chelsea

[KFS]

He's going to have heard of Costa after tonight.

That's amazing, half of those players have never played with each other. He doesn't appear to know anyone that hasn't played in the Prem before.

Someone thinks Chelsea will give them a 'stern test'.

 

Matic - "Serbian international, good player MH, classy version of Dean Marney."

 

"I say this, we'll beat them 3-0. Not only that , like united they will faulter occasionally and the football world will see glimpses of brilliance by Burnley."

 

[Finnegan]

I don't think they're being very serious...

[lgfualol]

I reckon it wont be a thrashing, probably 1-0 chelsea. Ulloa is more expensive than the whole of Burnley's team.

[Guest MattP]

Just watching Rio Ferdinand's performance

 

'Arry said he could be the difference between staying up and going down and judging by his performance I think he might be right.

[Danno]

United signing Rojo, Nani going on loan the other way

[Captain...]

Just heard the Ginger Whinger on SSN, going on about them being the biggest underdogs in the prem for a number of years.

 

Yeah, probably since the last time Burnley were in the Prem, it was only 4 years ago, they aren't this amazing plucky underdog story and they haven't come from nowhere.

 

Really want Chelsea to give them a spanking tonight.

[Corky]

Ordinarily I'd like Burnley to cause a shock, but now it affects us want Chelsea to win.

 

2-0 Chelsea.

his interview in the sun at the weekend was hilarious. he was listing all the things they didn't have.

Just sounds like he is getting his excuses in early, it may work and get his team together in a classic underdog story, and play above themselves, but I reckon a few bad results they will start believing all this inferior talk (as that is what you are saying when you say underdog) and just fold under any sort of pressure.

[ScouseFox]

i'd be pissed off if i was a burnley fan, he's admitting defeat already. "we've got no money, we've got no fans, our ground is shit, we've got no good players, our chairman is just a regular guy with no money, even our kit is a bit shit" etc etc. think i'd want him to maybe focus on one or two positives and say something like "look we know we're underdogs but we're here on merit ready to give it a good go and hopefully surprise a few" as opposed to just crying all the time about how bad his life is. 

[AKCJ]

Hoping that Burnley get stuffed. I think that any sort of decent performance, let alone result, would give them confidence.

[davieG]

or..... if we're regularly hammered and I'm sacked remember it's not my fault and i deserve a job with a PL team with greater resources.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Sean is getting ready for the game tonight: "Chelsea are the market leaders, they cost many, many, many, many, many pound notes." 

[Matt]

Sean Dyche doing his pre match interview on Sky, I shit you not, first answer to the first question "Chelsea are obviously the market leaders"

Just heard that and had a little giggle to myself

 

I reckon we should play Sean Dyche bingo in his post match interview!
