    I was surprised that your lot didn't get promoted last season @Tractorgirlali, I think it's vital that it happens this season. 

    It wasn't a good start for you guys at all @Ignatiusyork, although you can see the manager's point about fitness. You hardly had a pre-season.

    Hi @Ross_Scope
                                 How are you? In response to how I am feeling about the Hammers after two weeks what can I say pretty bleak :( That said it looks as though there is still hope as we played much better against Arsenal and no matter what I'll always be forever blowing bubbles :) Please may I ask, how are you feeling about Leeds? I must say I'm pretty impressed :) Thank you.

    I'm glad you enjoyed that trip @Tractorgirlali, I feel the same about Elland Road :) 

    And yeah there's definitely still hope @WestHam06, I actually like David Moyes so I hope it goes well for him.

    Hopefully you can get back there soon @Tractorgirlali but that in the meantime they can work towards promotion :) 

    Your friend certainly should be happy, it's been a great year or two for Leeds.

    Hi @Ross_Scope
                                  I'm very happy about West Ham's result at the weekend, haven't caught up with the highlights yet but what a result! I agree David Moyes is a great manager and I really like him, I just wish the board would back him in terms of the signings he wants to make. Leeds won again, great result and Bamford has settled into the Premier League rather well hasn't he? Are you surprised by how well Bamford has started the season? Thank you.

    Hi @Globster
                           How are you? Great question, I think West Brom did miss an ideal opportunity to get three points on the board although they were probably expecting to not get any so would still see Saturday's result as a positive one. As for Chelsea, I thought it was a poor performance and they will be unable to challenge for any trophies if they continue to play like that, especially some of the individual errors that would made. They have spent so much money this transfer window that, I feel, if Lampard doesn't start to repay this money with results he could find himself in a difficult position. Thank you.

    I have to say var made some wrong decisions I think spurs robbed of three points yesterday 

    I would appreciate to hear from others people in the scope community think?

    Hi @Globster
                           Completely agree, VAR made some wrong decisions over the weekend and I feel it is bringing more controversy to the game rather than removing it. I understand there are rules and the rule states that if the ball hits the hand in the box then it is a penalty but I think it needs to be within reason which it was not in the Spurs game. I also think they need to be consistent with the rules. I don't think I will ever be a fan of VAR. Thank you.

    @WestHam06
    I am a fan of var  as well
    I totally agree var has totally ruined the beautiful game
    The process  is taking them too long and slowing the game down

    VAR is great in principle but I think it allows refs to hide behind it and not use common sense. I also think the person in charge of watching the incidents on VAR should be an ex-professional player. Somebody that has played the game at a decent level.

    Good question @Globster it would have to be somebody from the lower leagues. No affiliation to a premier league side.
