Same here. I've also got Barkley in my fantasy football team after stupidly leaving him on the bench last week so I want to see how he does

I had Wellbeck on the bench because Lukaku had two games, and I thought Dzeko was bound to score against the Barcodes, whether he started or not.
(and he didn't even get a bonus point)
I also picked Azpil....but Mourinho didn't.

I picked Arsenal's Wilshere and Oxlade: Wilshere was booked and was useless; Oxlade went off early with an injury
(and Wilshere only came on as a late sub today)

So, not an auspicious start for me

Cant believe that i'm looking forward to the Villa-dippers game later! Some fairly uninspiring football today - hope we're getting rid if the dross games early in the season.

Surprised Hull are ahead, after the showing against Chelsea i'm surprised they knew how to get out of their own half.

I think Davide Santon has earned a paycheque from West ham today, he's done more to break up Newcastle attacks than Hammer defenders.

Me, also: it could be quite a good game. Villa were decent enough against us at Villa Park last season, until Clark's blunder
And then Liverpool look more of a team, without Suarez

Could be a good game, although I'm recording it to watch later on

According to the rolling stats, Newcastle have had 13 shots and the West Ham keeper has had to make zero saves....well that was two more off target there.

Gouffran had a shot from 3 yards miss the target, they are just really really terrible.

Awful football but I think both will finish mid table.

Sturridge once again showing he has just as much natural ability as anyone on his day....now if he starts producing that consistently and learns to play as part of team he'll score 30 a season.

Villa started like this against Arsenal & ended up looking very good. Hard to tell which is the 'real' version.

Liverpool look a better side than Utd from what I've seen so far. If they can defend properly, they could cause a few upsets this season.
