Updated the OP with 4 leagues and their respective teams. Clicking the badge of any team will take you to their website. If anyone notices any errors, please PM me

Will work on adding some more leagues if people want that

We'll put goals past any side in this league on our day. Problem is we've conceded 2 goals in every one of our 4 games so far (league and cup) so that needs resolving. We're not going to score 3 every week.

Can't argue with 7 in 3 though.
Midweek we didn't hve a chance until seventy
Odd minutes when we scored and today we scored our first chance on half an hour so the quality is there but the gameplan is all wrong

He must have had some idea when he saw the FFP rules coming in. He pretty much sold out, surely.

And I'm pretty sure he came because Arsenal wouldn't accept a high buyout clause at the end of the term.

Of course, That's why I was questioning why he would resign considering he signed a contract knowing this.

Not really worried though, since it has to be fitness and our midfield still choosing to pass out onto the wings bypassing RVP and Kagawa.

How is that evident? The story apparently is that we waited until we knew what was happening with Song to make a move.

Tiote apparently, which is a laughable suggestion at this stage. Really don't know why he hasn't pulled the trigger on M'Vila.

I'd imagine that's the main sticking point, and I'm sure Wenger's got contacts embedded within the National Team who've informed him of his character. I appreciate that level of consideration though, team spirit is hugely important, although I think there's still an argument to be made for buying quality players regardless, City won the league with Balotelli, Tevez, and Nasri.

Skybet have a 4/1 bet tomorrow on Arsenal and City to win, and I've just lobbed £3 on. Either way I'm guaranteeing myself some satisfaction tomorrow: either Arsenal drop points, or Liverpool get something at Anfield, or I could potentially soften the blow of defeat with a nice little £15 return.

Was a fantastic goal.

Also glad to see Lukaku do well today. I was a little harsh of his play during preseason, but he is still young and it looks like this loan spell will do him a world of good.

I agree. It's very strange, which points to there being a very logical explanation.

Casillas is the best goalkeeper in the world, for me.

TBH I don't think Cech or Cesar are as good as the other three in that picture.

De Gea could be one of the worlds best eventually. He's already a brilliant shot stopper. He needs learn how to deal with crosses.

The Mirror think Spurs are after Dembele. That would be such a waste for him.

Going to be an interesting week, for sure. I think they've left it too late, and I've made my feelings known all summer about how crucial I see a Modric replacement to be.

Properly excited for tomorrow now, just wish I could've got a ticket. First game at Anfield plus Nuri's watching in the stands, should be a brilliant atmosphere.

I think I've said in the past I reckon it'll be another Cesc situation. I reckon you could get something if City are anything like what they were at Southampton.

Danish transfer window won't close until 3 sep. So we will sign Modric when he ends up not going to Real and being desperate, 5 year deal.

Modric still hasn't signed for Madrid though.

It will be hilarious if he is still with Spurs after the window closes.

Everyone knows he wants to leave. That would leave him in a slightly awkward position.

De Gea needs to work on his catching/punching from corners. Once that happens over the next 2-3 years, he'll be up there with the best.

It saddens me that Berba isn't even a part of the matchday squad anymore.

For his own sake I hope he moves away from United. SAF has made it clear that he isn't needed anymore and Berba is too good to waste away on the sidelines.

Incorrect! We gave him permission to play, our goalkeeping coach insisted on it, apparently.

De Gea needs to learn how to deal with crosses. It's his only weakness. He needs to learn how to just boss whoever is in front of him.
