We bottom of able, I think you know I aint please about that, but we were expected to lose against man u so hopeully we'll do better next week when we have jardel.

Portsmouth did well to win on their debut, Sheringham and Berger scored on their debut which showed they have good new signings.

jardel aint gonna make a difference is he? To score you have to work as a team and i thiink jardel will be a flop.

The new signings for the newly promoted clubs seemed to do well and some scored - Sheringham, Berger and Ferdinand. Portsmouth did better than I expected today, but it's early days. First day results aren't too much to go by.
I think that Man Utd will be championship winners this season again. Ronaldo looks to be a class act, I'm looking forward to watching 'The Premiership' tonight to see him play. From what I've heard on the radio and on TV, he was brilliant. I think it's too early to comment on how the other clubs will fare. I just think Man Utd have too good a squad, and will sail to championship glory! Arsenal simply haven't signed enough quality.

agreed with last post

I'm actually quite shocked that Fulham managed to win!

paul b, were you listening to Radio 5 live?

Paul B · 16-08-2003, 18:46

Yes, indeed. Why?

16-08-2003, 19:07

elliottume · 16-08-2003, 19:12

16-08-2003, 19:25

Cristiano Ronaldo the new number 7.

elliottume · 16-08-2003, 19:28
