Yeah some are down right ridiculous like the Neymar "secretly" heading to Man U rumor.

Liverpool looked good, mainly in the first half.
Coutinho was a handful.
Best player on the pitch.

That was one of the more exciting 0-0 encounters you will see. Both teams hit the woodwork, both goalies were terrific, especially Cech. Liverpool better in the first, Arsenal on top in the second. Ramsey had a legitimate goal disallowed for offside. Each team denied possible penalties.
Mert and Kos did not play and while Chambers was very suspect in the first 45, he improved in the second and Gabriel looked decent throughout. Sanchez worked his socks off but missed a couple of good chances. Coquelin, Ozil and Ramsey played well but Cazorla and Giroud were too quiet. Both fullbacks were solid. Give Liverpool credit, they are a much improved team this year. Agree with TIS, Couthino is the dangerman and Bentenke was not easy to defend against.
Up next, Newcastle.
Wonder what transfer nonsense will be bandied about today? Messi, Maradona, Eusebio??

I was wondering about Chambers the other night when playing FIFA. He came out last year like a house on fire then was never to be seen again. And same for the start of this year

Cavani to Arsenal is today's rumor. Could happen. PSG have been trying to unload him and Arsenal is desperate for a striker. If Wenger will open up his wallet is another issue. He might be cheaper than the Met owners.
Hope that Brugge can knockout United tomorrow. That stoppage time goal last week by Fellaini was huge for United.
Group of death Group D? No complaints with Chelsea's draw.
Group A: Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo
Group B: PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United, CSKA Moscow, Wolfsburg
Group C: Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Astana
Group D: Juventus, Manchester City, Sevilla, Borussia Monchengladbach
Group E: Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, BATE Borisov
Group F: Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Olympiacos, DNK Dinamo
Group G: Chelsea, Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Maccabi Tel Aviv
Group H: Zenit Saint Petersburg, Valencia, Lyon, Gent

The Arsenal/Olympiacos games will be intense. They will be fighting for that second spot

Walcott over Giroud.
No Ozil.
No Ozil.
all the drama surrounding my Toffees these days, I'd be satisfied with a point in London.
apparently the Stones transfer situation getting messy, where Stones had to check into a hotel with security as supporters are getting a bit too emotional about this...as much as I do understand. Being an Everton fan is a lot like being a Mets/St. John's fan...all that promise but somehow never able to get over the hump, so to speak. If only we could steal 3pts and shock Chelsea on the 12th, then a top four/five would be a possibility...such a rough stretch to open the season. Can handle the loss to Man City because every team is going to lose to them this season it seems. But if this team can't keep pace early...more banners attached to planes from protesting supporters...ugh, what a mess.
peace

Stalemate at WHL but bohemian shockcity as Liverpool and Chelsea lose @ home. Arsenal (sans Ozil) did just enough to deserve the win despite misfiring forwards. Wenger gets credit for signing this OG guy who has contributed two vital goals this season (and I don’t mean Olivier Giroud). The loss to WHAM does not look so bad now that they took out ‘Pool by 3 at Anfield. Newcastle held Man U last week and of course the win at Palace looks great given their success at Chelsea today. So while Arsenal are not exactly playing well, there seems to be some parity in the EPL but who can stop the Man C steamroller? P4, W4, F12, A0.
Chelsea is done. Was worried by Crystal Palace going into game so it wasn't a total surprise. Pardew always seems ready for Chelsea. Time to shift focus to CL, FA Cup and Capital One.
Ivanovic looks done. Whats up with him. Cesc also seems like shell of himself. Frustrating. They really miss Oscar.

Minor knee problem is the official word although there are also rumormongers speculating something else is afoot.
Could have used him yesterday given Walcott was playing but after the red card Newcastle sat so deep there was no space for Walcott to operate. And still he missed a sitter. For a team that has some much creativity, Arsenal are struggling to score but I would be surprised if anyone comes in before the deadline.
Swansea sure love to play Man U these days... Love Gomis goal celebrations.
