Less than two hours until kick-off at the Hawthorns. But not too long until we get the team news.

Possibly also because Chelsea were able to get Pedro in, while Manchester United are very much as you were.

'We Won't Panic Buy' - that's the Mail on Sunday's headline, echoing the questions over Manchester United's lack of goals.

Louis van Gaal is not overly concerned, it seems.

A lot of talk today about whether Louis van Gaal needs to get a new striker sorted at Manchester United.

It's definitely been an arduous start to the season for Wayne Rooney, who defined the term isolated against Newcastle yesterday. Aside from his disallowed goal, he had three sniffs of a chance. And one of those was blocked.

What happened? Wayne Rooney had a goal disallowed for offside - it was a tight decision. But United generally looked blunt up front against a stubborn Newcastle side.

What they said: 

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: "We did not make the right choices in the final third but we played fantastic as a team. I like these kind of games when we work like this, but not this result.

"The performance was one of the best in my period but we don't reward ourselves and there was only one club that wanted to win and that was us."

Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren: "We're disappointed. We knew the first 20 minutes would be theirs but we grew in belief and we should have scored.

"The defending and discipline was superb but we really could have nicked it - we had the chances but didn't take them."

Our friends in Finland are just entering their Sunday league pre-season. Missing a game to go hunting for some trout is not a great way to win over your team-mates.

Paulo Wanchope is everywhere at the moment. The former Manchester City striker resigned as Costa Rica boss last week after getting into a pitchside brawl.

'Wembley Blues' is the headline on the back of the Sunday Mirror. The paper says Chelsea will move to Wembley while Stamford Bridge is revamped for three seasons, starting in 2017.

Fancy seeing Mourinho's men at the home of football?

We'll take a look at each of yesterday's games one at a time, but here are a couple of other footballing headlines you may have missed this morning.

'Man Utd don't need a striker' - Wayne Rooney may not have scored in his lone role up front for Manchester United, but boss Louis van Gaal says he does not need to buy a striker.

QPR confident of keeping Austin - QPR manager Chris Ramsey says he has no "indication" that striker Charlie Austin will leave Loftus Road this summer, despite intense speculation.

In case you were interested, I spent my pre-season moving house, putting up flatpack furniture, lifting fridges and painting walls. Gave myself sciatica. In my first game back someone described me as an 'ostrich' (it wasn't Nigel Pearson). So that went well.

What about your pre-season? Has it been as energetic as that of the professionals?

What happened?

Callum Wilson's hat-trick helped Bournemouth to their first ever top-flight win, as the Cherries survived a Hammers fightback.

What they said

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: "It went wrong from the start. We played a very bad first half. It's not an alarming situation but we can't continue to play without more desire. We simply need a better mentality."

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "It was a really strange game. We were in cruise control in the first half but that seemed to go out of the window after half-time when we made some strange decisions.

"The only disappointment at half-time was that we were not more than 2-0 up."

By do this, Gary Cahill presumably means 'none of us get substituted at half-time boys'.

It's all part of the service, Jack.
