Grujic might be the greatest preseason player of all time. Hope he gets a shot this year. Ryan Kent shook the **** out of the defender to set that up too

Eh, he was definetly totally screened. Don't really want refs to guess wether the keeper would've saved it or not when deciding offsides

Megafail though being on social media of any sort during a sporting event you might be a bit behind on.

I think the complaint was that he was robbed of the drama of a penalty shootout

Last week I was impressed when Spurs beat one of the top teams in the world, PSG, with an excellent, mid-season like performance.

I thought to myself, we could really be one of the top teams out there.

Then we lost to Roma and got beaten by City like a red-headed stepchild.

Now I'm questioning if we can finish in the Top 4 again.

Sturridge has said the injury is nothing. He actually looks like he may have a sprint back.

Season-long wager. If you could get 18/1 odds on which team will most outperform expectations, which would you take.

Here are the point handicaps:

Man City +0,
Man Utd +2,
Chelsea +3,
Tottenham +7,
Arsenal +8,
Liverpool +9,
Everton +18,
Southampton +26,
Leicester +28,
West Ham +32,
Stoke +35,
Bournemouth +35,
Newcastle +36,
WBA +37,
Palace +37,
Swansea +40,
Watford +42,
Burnley +43,
Brighton +44,
Huddersfield +46

The 3 that look good to me are Man City, Everton, and Bournemouth..

WBA do look good

For some reason I expect Newcastle to do fairly well too

United probably the worst

Chorley manager Matt Jansen said a "misunderstanding" may have been the reason a pre-season match between his club's under-21 side and Wigan Athletic ended in a 14-0 hammering.

oh yeah 14-0

our next friendly is against the women's auxilary balloon corps seniors and i think we'll give them a pasting too
