Liverpool scored literally right after I posted this thread. Not sure how I feel about that

Turning point in this game was when Tadic came off

Just like pretty much everyone else this weekend. Arsenal and Spurs didn't deserve 3 points either.

MOTM for me has to be Mignolet. No one else really stood out. That last save was world class. I just wish he could be more consistent.

Not sure what to think of that game. Is Soton still as good as last year despite selling everyone? Or have Liverpool taken a step or two back?

World Cup rust, new signings have yet to mesh, and still playing without a few starters/difference makers. Moreno, Lallana, Flanno, Agger, Markovic, Enrique, and Falcao (troll face).
So, pretty much like everyone else this weekend. Arsenal were sh*t. Spurs were sh*t. Chelsea will probably be sh*t, as well.

T-minus 30 minutes to the start of the 39 week long tragic saga, "Will Alan Pardew be Found Floating in the Tyne?"

Yep, couldn't agree more, this was a weekend that SO FAR has shown the parity this year may present.
As far as my MOTM, it has to be Tadic in a losing effort. He brought about most of the Soon attack, and the game quite significantly changed when he was subbed out prematurely.

Unimpressed with Liverpool for most the match. couldnt sustain much on the attack, but made a couple big plays (the delivery to sterling on the first goal was first class) and escaped with 3 points... for match 1, I'll take it.

Not sure what these Newcastle attackers are aiming at.

That whole setup/goal was pure class.

Despite the fact that the greatest soccer club is owned by a Tulane family, I could care less than less about soccer. I probably watched more soccer in this year's world cup than I had in my previous 51 years of life combined. And it wasn't all that much!

I've never seen a whole team that's as one-footed as Newcastle are this year, and that's without a healthy Santon on the left acting like his right foot doesn't exist.

No they weren't. I was getting the same problem on my computer. You could avoid the double posts by posting through your phone through a browser (weird), but it still took a long time to go through.
I was going to start a new one, but thought about you being able to edit the title so I didn't. Oh well, let's see if Calallen is up to the challenge.
