Arsenal have got Tierney and David Luiz subject to medicals. Good job Raul. Ivan Gazidis was a fraud.
Luiz, 2 year deal - £8m Tierney, 5 year deal - £25m

David Luiz is prone to lapses of concentration but he’s still better than any centre back we have so I welcome the signing.
Alex Iwobi is off to Everton for £40 million. An ok player but we’ve massively upgraded in Pepe I feel. Iwobi feels like a 2nd choice signing after Zaha I would think Palace smartly know they can’t afford to lose him otherwise relegation would be a huge possibility without him.

Norwich are fun to watch Michael...but defensively pretty shocking.

Norwich haven’t played great but they’ve not been bad enough to warrant that score line.

Hopefully facing this sort of attack in their first game will do our young defence favours in the long run. But if we can can carry on our attack like this against ‘lesser’ sides, I’m happy wid dat.

Anything Liverpool can do Man City can do better (except the Champs Lge of course). Man City win 5 nil at West Ham Sterling hat trick. Take it easy City please.

Embarassing from West Ham.
Villa were doing well until they decided to sit back and invite pressure.

Hearing the theme to the first Match of the Day of a new season is always a joy. Seeing Ian Wright in the studio is not.

Hearing the theme to the first Match of the Day of a new season is always a joy. Seeing Ian Wright in the studio is not. How dare you disparage Sir Ian like that! I get he’s not everyone’s cup of tea though that’s fine. Some big games today. Leicester v Wolves is a big one to start with with two teams with lofty aspirations for this season of at least getting 7th place. Newcastle Arsenal might be the game of the day. 2 teams capable of completely imploding. As a Gooner I’m hoping Bruce is as bad as the fans fear (at least just for today) and our new signings get off to a great start. Man U and Chelsea will both have a lot to prove today. United have been written off it seems before a ball is kicked and Chelsea seem weaker without Hazard and the transfer ban. Both will surely want to show their fans they have nothing to worry about.

Chelsea have been unlucky hitting the woodwork twice, but I think they've got a long, difficult season ahead of them.
As for us, I'm hoping Rashford, Martial, and Lingard can find the consistency they've lacked previously. They've got the pace and trickery to tear defences apart.
