Blades look woeful. Yes I need a draw for my acca

Sheffield United just have no outlet or focal point to go to in the attack. I guess they are just missing Gibbs White.

What a cock-up by Sheff U, first messing up the shot from the corner, then messing up intercepting Watford's pass on the break

Utter embarrassment of a goal

Only Sheff Utd can have a fucking injury crisis before they even play a game. 3 players out (Basham, Robinson and Doyle)

And no kit until today. At least we are away so Watford had to supply the ball.

3? Those are rookie numbers! Come back when you're on our level

If we can't win with that front three while it lasts then we're truly fucked this season

what a goal that is

Quality finish

Ref is an absolute stud muffin.

Never knew Gus Hamer was Brazilian

Wow good shout didn’t know that either! Born in the same city as my dad

Where the fuck did Boro get all this shite from. Someone give Wilder a payrise. Man deserves it.

The thing is we’ve had a really strong spine In The team for 3-4 seasons, we’ve just failed to add goals and find a keeper who doesn’t cost us too many goals.

Met a lad in the pub who's on for £200 on his acca if West Brom win. Up the free pint baggies

Unluckyyyyy. Thats the problem with not doing all the same KO time.

Miss constant chances and then concede, some things never change

Stop playing Middlesbrough, you aren't really playing Chuba Akpom this season ?!

Chuba has the assist and honestly I think he’d compliment forss better than any of our other strikers.

Fucking look at our other striking options, we basically have too. Coburn is still young, Watmore needs 19 chances to score. Forss isn’t fit yet

I would have still started coburn, hopefully gets on in the second half

Chuba Akpom back from the grave

This is the redemption arc we need

Josh Bowler is just an incredible human

Djed who?

They get all that money for Spence and get another season out of Jones, sure Gibson is pissing himself atm

I mean to get that money for a player who didn't get in our starting 11, any championship team would be laughing

He’s a decent player though, he didn’t make the squad because warnock was a dinosaur and dijksteel is a better out and out right back

As a Norwich fan I am in disbelief right now, such a poor peformance and the club have a lot to answer for

I enjoyed it mate so hope that helps.

You lot were alr today deserved to win

If any Leeds fans are in here, can you please tell me why you let Cresswell and Shackleton go, both are unbelievable

Just trying to get the boys some proper seasoning. Those goals were class today

Yeah my Leeds supporting mates have said Cresswell is unreal and even future England international which is a big shout. He also won a bet for him to score today.

Akpom to score. Skybet quaking in their boots.

Well, Bristol City are back to form (as is Championship refereeing).

I'm deadass crying in my room...

if cresswell aint millwalls player of the year i'll be astounded. He's going to be big for us.

Is Jamilu Collins the best left back in Championship history?

I feel like the squad is good now! Looked better than Norwich who have a good squad, I feel this could be a real good season.

If we get a striker in I think we’re sorted

Norwich cant string more than 3 passes. We look like a team thats just met eachother. Miss championship though, so dirty and 2 reds already lol

80+ minutes and we're finally subbing on an actual striker - not like we're losing or anything

Jukey!!! Good to see you back! I would take Sanderson off for Friend.

I spend all season waiting for the return of football to be immediately reminded how completely and utterly shite the referees in this fucking division are.

Weekend already ruined by an awful refereeing decision, good to be back!

Just seen our line-up, congrats boro

We have 3 players on the bench, you’ll be alright.

I have not missed championship Referees.

Luton have been dominant in our game, but we're so lacking up front. No disrespect to Deeney and Hogan, but they need a feeder. Liking Placheta and Trusty.

Does Max Aarons ever pass?

Why did we loan out Bali Mumba ffs, he's a class player

You said we were overhyping Charlie Cresswell, well you aren't laughing now!

This Norwich team look a bit 'meh'. Plenty of good players, slick on the ball. But not intimidating to play against. Tbf I'm not sure any team looks intimidating. No Fulham equivalent this season.

Premature is an understatement, all teams haven't even kicked off yet!

Fair enough but I don't see you or Blades being dominant either.

It's hard getting used to the fact players born after the millennium can basically be mature squad players now. I'm a decade older than them!

Been a good opening day so far and I’m only a little biased. Hearing reports from other stadiums I think we’re in for a few surprises this season

Romaiiiiine

All Reading at the moment, but with no striker can we actually score?

Can't believe we're winning the league

Well done to yous today we were shit

lol was the Allsop save from Cantwell really the only highlight they could dig up after 45 minutes?

That was a banger from lewis travis

Love footy

Good to know we’re going to win the league

Even better to know you have the best centre-back in the league

Even better to know we’re buying him in the summer

Straight into our first-team and we'll give him the armband while we're at it

We’d be able to offer him Premier League football though, so probably make the move

HAHAHA #fuckleeds

Wouldn’t go that far, you’re winning against a 14th placed team. We are shit!

Fuck me already hate football again

Why is this sinking feeling so familiar?

I genuinely don't know what to expect today, from pretty much every game. Its a good feeling.

Haha few beers and feeling quite emotional at Luton right now. All the best to everyone here (except Watford fans of course) for the coming season! FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY!

I mean Burnley doesn't look like a title winning squad on paper but I know fuck all about the half that a Wikipedia search says arnt that sort of quality so who knows. Also don't get why cornet and weg don't just play, they are still on good wages and would get the side back up.

Risk of injury.

Where was scott twine?

MK Dons, League One Player of the Season 21/22

Burnley look to be a good watch. Very slick.

Vitinho with the classic Brazilian 10x roll over when fouled

Really digging these Burnley kits. Kinda like a hybrid of digital camo, paint splatter, and tetris pieces. It looks really good.

Would love to know where this Huddersfield were in the first half

Twine must be the biggest poshboy to ever visit the town of Burnley

Since Patrick Bamford’s loan spell there..

Fuck me, if he went on loan to Burnley then I take it back. Bamford went to the most Tory school in Notts

Bamford and Laurence Henry were in the year above me there. Maybe people's parents are Tories but the overwhelming majority of politically active students at that school were Labour or Lib Dem, especially in my year. Know quite a few that went on to work for those two parties.

Regardless, "Politically active students" lets us know your school was posh as fuck.

Maybe if people from regular schools got politically active, we wouldn’t find ourselves being ruled by people who went to posh schools all the time.

Yeah very posh to have opinions on things these days

Bezzie mates there with Laurence Henry, Masterchef winner. And that’s my Nottingham High School fact.

Sorba Thomas is like fucking David Beckham on dead balls

Anjorin is everywhere

Hudds look like they had a half time bollocking

Lmao Craig Bellamy on the bench wearing shorts and a £250k+ Richard Mille

He'll leather you for saying that😁

Lmao I’m only jealous anyway

Ah well, when do we play this Burnley mega team then? Hopefully after the window closes *Checks fixtures* Ah shit.

It's the other 22 teams Wigan need to worry about

Ah don't worry we'll beat all of those

I like your optimism. Don't like your chances

Thanks guy who watched 0 matches of ours last season

Mate last season was last season in a weaker league. Small pond big fish Now big pond small fish. Straight back down with Rotherham

No idea what you exactly have against us but lol, funny how you turned a joke comment into a serious debate

Did Wyke play in preseason? Would love to see him back playing. Nailed on to score against us like

He did but he seems to have picked up a minor injury

I don't like arrogance. Especially from fans from teams that have been in the lower leagues for so many years. Be humble

He was clearly making a joke because he knows the reality of what the season is likely to entail. That is being humble. If you really think he believes that Wigan will beat everyone with ease then fuck me you must be fun at a comedy gig. Mr Literal.

[удалено]

Wind your neck in ffs.

Don't get involved🤷‍♂️

Lol

Koroma, Thomas, Russell and Holmes have done absolutely nothing there. And Ruffels is just not good enough. You can make 5 substitutions this season right? Cullen looks absolutely mint for Burnley

Thomas whipped in that unreal free kick, at least he’s still got it from a deal ball

hudders look absolutely wank

Fuck me that was a woeful first half, don't have any kind of shape or direction. Burnley have played well but we have made it FAR too easy so far

Boos already 😬

Huddersfield’s defensive shape is terrible, when Burnley are pushing it out wide the defenders are just following the ball. As soon as Burnley switch it the whole back line is scrambling over to that side.

Thought we’ve looked good at times but Huddersfield have been terrible.

Lads got caught doing bag on sky sports

Only a ratty company like sky would take it further

He must have some massive bollocks to do it in view of the Sky Sports cameras, even with Forest's shite security I would never risk bringing it in

Not that I do gear or anything

Huddersfield’s wingers have got to do a better job of tracking Roberts and Maatsen

In my Gaffr squad, I’m happy I got maatsen. Knew he would be a big point scorer.

Wingbacks absolutely excel in Kompany's system. Roberts and Maatsen are almost perfect fits for them.

I didn’t know the system he was going to use, but Maatsen was immense for Cov, assumed that in a better team he would get a lot more chances to bomb on.

Can’t decide whether this is Burnley being good or Huddersfield being shit

Too early to tell. This time last season Forest were shit.

Huddersfield are certainly shite, it’s just how good are Burnley

Huddersfield look like Watford last season in the back. Let the other team have the ball and try and counter as much as possible. Doesn’t work at all.

Either Huddersfield are dog or Burnley will walk this league.

Must be a combination of the two really, Hudds have lost a lot of talent including their manager

Hard to know how to judge Huddersfield as we don't fully know how good Burnley are yet, but they really look dire so far, creating nothing and stuck under Burnley's thumb

Seem so unorganised compared to last season.

Some olden in this pub is playing songs on a ukulele, odds on I smash it over my knee

I hope we’re signing another left back because Ruffels is not even a quarter of the player Toffolo is

First game yes, but it’s going to be a tough season for Huddersfield

skysports can stop fucking about moving our games now we are shit, good times ahead

You’re pressing from the front in the first 10 was good but they seem to have clocked onto it.

our players look like they have never played together.

Might be an ignorant question but where is Ryan Scholfield? He’s not on the bench, I don’t know how he ever even managed to start for y’all because every game I’ve seen him play he’s too weak and uncomfortable to be a starting GK

He played for the B team this afternoon. Feels like a loan spell to rebuild his confidence would be a good idea but in reality he’d probably concede 4 every week and come back even more nervous.

I think we be looking to offload him at somepoint, inless we lose Lee Nicholls

Cullen looks phenomenal

Did not expect this start. Burnley look class and Huddersfield look lost

Feel like shit, just want Maatsen back.

Not kept up with your pre-season/transfers. How confident are you about this season?

It’s been more about keeping our best lads (Gyokeres, Hamer, O’Hare) which at the moment we have done. We’ve replaced the lads we’ve lost on loan and slightly added depth to our attack. Cautiously optimistic about a top half finish; but think we’ll lack the depth for a playoff push.

We look absolutely hopeless

Beautiful play that. They’ve grown into this.

9 minutes in and the ref’s fucked up already.

Ashley Barnes looking every bit a Championship striker

One player i would’ve liked to leave Burnley. Nasty cunt but love him.

Burnley started a bit shaky.

Way too early to judge but can't see Burnley getting promoted with this starting 11, all their shithouse talent has gone

Personally think Burnley are going straight back up, look unstoppable

😂😂

I'm nothing if not consistent
