Bodo/Glimt3 - 0NEC Nijmegen
the game was done and dusted in the 3rd minute, with later confirmation in the first halves stoppage time. i wanted to watch with intent, but it became an entertaining background watch. auklend impressed me the most bar the usual suspects, other than that i really didnt pay much attention to the game
Bodo/Glimt
Fulham2 - 3Chelseait was a really stressful experience as a chelsea fan, though as a neutral id imagine it to be quite a watch! feel like fulham were really good, but there was a certain man, or a collective of men that were in blue and orange, predominantly playing in the back, that were certainly making their task easier, albeit the positional issues will probably get fixed, since we are in a new system blah blah blah. it had to be josh king that scored, had it?

Ipswich2 - 1Sunderland
Julio, Julio, Julio. As a certain commentator said, a sexy footballer, a very sexy one indeed. Missed the first 20, though the rest of the first half was enjoyable to watch. Can't really rate the game in detail because it was more of a background watch than not, but the second half was a bit... underwhelming, though that Clarke goal was worth the wait. That Angulo goal... perfection. Absolutely satisfying to watch, worth the admission fee, what else? no clue what else to say, except hope that Enciso's injury isn't major, just a cramp or something, looking forward to see him play lol

Hull City2 - 0Man United
Lovely to see Hull return to the PL, was wholeheartedly rooting for them. Absolute class from all Hull centre backs involved, although Egan stood out for me for his defensive contributions. Tzolakis rarely had to do more than a routine save, though keep tabs on him, he's going to be a nice little keeper. Belloumi started on roughly, but eventually grew into the game. Notable perfomances from almost every single Hull player, hard to pick a MotM! No need to comment on that midfield duo, Baleba is a must for united for them to get back on track. After the 70th minute, the game was getting duller and duller, albeit understandable from a Hull pov to see off the game. Nice watch.
