Subs: Nordfeldt, Rangel, Bartley, Tabanou, Cork, Routledge, Eder

[westisbest]

Very early days, but Gestede & Amavi could be quality signings.

[Hero]

Amavi is top grade, you played an absolute blinder getting him.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Excellent officiating by Michael Oliver

[TRUSSMAN66]

Wonder what the classless one's excuse is today..

"Swansea parked bus"

[Duty281]

Chelsea really messed that one up!

[TRUSSMAN66]

Great performance by Swansea.....

Monk is doing a great job..

As for Jose pick one....

The ball boys were to blame

Conspiracy against Chelsea by referee

They parked bus...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Swansea were brilliant, outperformed Chelsea on the day. A flukey deflection away from victory

[westisbest]

Stoke Liverpool could be a good game tomorrow.

Be interesting to see how the big man does this season.

Seems Mr Hooper's appointment was a surprise amongst refs also

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Literally zero point to Sunderland

For the good of the league they'll finally be relegated this season hopefully

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Kaboul #donkey

[Guest]

Kaboul for £3m is one of the best signings of the summer. He's been consistently Tottenham's best CB for the last two seasons

Definitely times when Kaboul has been easily Spurs' best defender. And for £3m that I heard I think its a cracking deal. French caps too.

Kaboul is awful

LiamB's 'expert opinions' proven right

[Duty281]

Perfectly fair to disallow Norwich's equaliser. The referee has enforced the rules correctly - I don't like that rule, about the high boot, but it isn't the referee who makes the rules, he merely follows them.

Fair play to the referee for having the bottle to follow through with it.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'll be remembering this when we're all raving about an overhead kick goal later in the season....

Anyways as I've said, we need some defensive reinforcements badly. Was a little comical at times today

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Watford are gonna be fun this season - team full of goals going forward, but with a defence containing Craig Cathcart and Gomes they'll leak a few too

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Gomes will have a cracking season.

I suppose if we're bringing up posts after one game we should all be laughing off a Chelsea title challenge and praising Ranieri?

Thought the Jerome goal was questionable so can see why it was ruled out. Obvious push for the non-penalty though.

[westisbest]

Need Gestede to bang the goals in this season.

Naive medical staff....that's a new one. Perhaps if Hazard didn't have form for being a bad actress the physio team wouldn't rush to his aid every time he fell over.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Taking a leaf out of Guardiola's handbook with that excuse.

[compelling and rich]

stones getting torn to shreds by watford and smalling putting in a motm performance...... fancy that

terrible game yesterday but a wins a win. and im happy with just the 3 points at this stage. hopefully performances will come later

[Fernando]

Reece Oxford (16 years old) to start for West Ham today apparently That's ballsy, I doubt Slaven would throw him in if not good enough though.

[Guest]

Think Southampton might have the edge today, already had the competitive games & we've been awful in pre-season. Hopefully, I'm proven wrong, but then I see that Obertan starts 

[Dolphin Ziggler]

The Stones highlighted as still having a fantastic game. Whereas Smalling literally won Motm as no one stood out. Good that you looked at scores and decided performances.

[NickisBHAFC]

Really hope that 16 year old can do well. Proud day for him and his family. All the best to him. 

Think this easy arsenal win written all over though.

[Guest]

Pelle gives Southampton the lead

[NickisBHAFC]

More fantasy points for me  

Payet looks an awesome signing for West Ham

[NickisBHAFC]

Great goalkeeping Cech. Signing of the summer.

ha ha was only ribbing, not seen the everton game to be honest. but read he had a poor game

[compelling and rich]

poor by cech that

[Guest]

1-1 Cisse

[Duty281]

Poor keeping by Cech. Very uncharacteristic of him to make such poor judgement.

Anyone see why West Ham got the free kick which created the goal? A high boot near the face, very similar to why Norwich had a goal disallowed yesterday.

No complaints this time, I take it?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Reece Oxford. 16 years old in the holding role away at the Emirates. Playing wonderfully.

[sportform]

Wonder what the odds are on Wenger not shaking Bilic's hand at the end of the game if Arsenal lose.

[Guest]

Wijnaldum baby

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

No more above head height I say

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

So I've been saying Cech is past it....#visionary

[Duty281]

Great awareness from the striker; Arsenal too static.

Not even Theo can save them now!

[NickisBHAFC]

Cech working under cover for Chelsea. 

This is brilliant from West Ham.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Get on the arsenal/draw double chance while you can folks

[Ent]

Lol arsenal.

People tentative to pick them as pl winners due to the belief they will faulter at some point in the season. First day they let down.

West Ham did very well in contrast to Europa league form.

[Duty281]

Brilliant defensive performance from West Ham. Very impressed by the young Reece Oxford (does he get his GCSE results in a couple of weeks )

Two errors from Cech gift them two extra points. A game refereed very well.

Amusing to see the plastic fans leave in their droves.

[sportform]

West Ham to win. That's one of the easiest £10 I'll make this season.

Arsenal's defence looks weak still. Always surprised more teams don't have a go at Arsenal. Especially considering the huge gap they leave at the back.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Dunno about 10 points a season, but Cech is worth 3 to us.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yann M'Vila sent off for head butting Jamar Loza for Sunderland U21's against Norwich U21's today

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The absolute state of Dejan Lovren's defending #donkey

[Guest]

1-0 Coutinho magic

[kingraf]

So overall... Good match day one?

[NickisBHAFC]

Fantastic win for Liverpool.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Keeper should've saved it
