Cole is looking so lively with the ball at his feet. Impressive. J. Pedro is looking good as well.

Guess it’s still legal to just pick the ball up on a dead play and run off with it. Was hoping they’d stop that shite

Three points are three points. We are going to be lethal with Rogers JP and Cole in top form. Caicedo should shore things up defensively but damn we still are shaky back there. Sanchez- can’t we do better?

It was not pretty in spots (Sánchez and the back end), but it's nice when your front three all bulge the net.

Congrats to Coach Alonso for getting a win in his inaugural EPL match.

I’ll take it for an away opener against a rival. Cole looks to be back. I miss cucurella, but I can chalk some of getting beat on the left to Colwill’s early yellow.

I am going to make a prediction based on no Europe, deep young team, Alonso’s Tactics

CFC makes the Finals of the FA and the Community Shield and wins at least one of them and probably both

Like your optimism and yes, the team should be more fit for the entire season.

On a side note, I thought the blue uniforms looked great. That yellow/gold piping on the deep royal blue was sharp. Collars are nice when done well and they looked good. One day we’ll get a front of shirt sponsor!

I saw there has maybe been an offer, but no confirmation of a deal.

Fabrizio Romano says that Nico to Villa is "close." I also saw that there are talks between the clubs for Emi Martinez to turn blue. That would be amazing if it worked out.

Martinez is in. That’s good news. We’re finally addressing that position.

Good but not terribly impressive win vs Luton. Tight match until Danny opened up the scoring in the 2nd half. I guess they feel really good about him to be shipping off Guiu, Jackson and Delap. Penders was a little shaky so it’s nice to bring in Martinez to stabilize that position. It’s shitty that Barco got booed every time he touched the ball- cmon bitch arse England fans get over it. He’s a good one. On to Brighton.

Isn't that the dweeb that Bellingham whacked in the head? Why are we getting rid of one Argentine headache only to bring in more?

Yes, that's why I hate when we bring in Argentines.

Yeah there’s never been a good Argentinian player before

Wait I thought you were talking about the new keeper

Get over it dude. He’s a Blue. And promising. Enzo wants out so let’s get what we can and let him walk.
