I approached it with a pinch of salt but it was a fun rumour whilst it lasted.
I prefer to believe he’s joined ISIS!!
Two poor teams, Newcastle and Cardiff. 0-0 was about right. Bad penalty from Kennedy. It could be a long season for both.

Said as soon as I seen the fixture list that Newcastle’s season will come down to feb and March again. We’ll hang about 15th or so and then if we have a good feb or March we’ll kick on and survive. If we don’t, then I can’t see us picking up enough points at the other parts of the year.
Today, we were poor. Kenedy doesn’t look the same player and we haven’t got anywhere near enough creativity.

Are you still sure ? They just don’t look strong enough , really poor defensively and just relying on Arnautovic can only so far - got to be a worry after spending a lot of money.
Got a bet with my mate that West Ham will be the team that struggles and that they will be in the bottom 5 at the end of the season - early looking like a good bet

How did Auba miss that? And then a real oops up the other end. This is not going to be pretty.

Chelsea ripping Arsenal apart - Arsenal can’t keep the ball really poor at the back. Aubemeyang missed a sitter , Iwobi must have a lot of compromising pictures to keep being selected. This could be a big score

Just turned on the radio and it’s 2-2 with Iwobi scoring :rofl:
That’s a proper Homer

Expected result. Can't complain as I had a bet on Kane scoring

A very relieved Blue - Arsenal should've been 2 clear at half-time! But both teams need to learn how to defend otherwise they'll be struggling to finish top 6 never mind top 4! Anyway 2 from 2, and with Morata scoring, and Fulham and QPR getting stuffed, very happy!!!

At least we weren't stuffed that badly. Given our record with Spurs as much a home banker as you'll get and with all the hype re Kane and not scoring in August it was typically Fulham that it happened. Hodgson did a number on us last week and we were short of quality against a top four side (imo) but hoping we're learning enough to be ok. Plenty of so-so clubs down there

Wolves very unlucky not to leave with anything from the King Power this afternoon, but Leicester managed to grab the three points without playing well. Will need Iheanacho to step up now that Vardy will have a few matches off.

Just seen the discussion on whether Pickford should’ve been sent off, not sure personally as I can see both sides, the game has certainly changed but are we expecting a foul everytime a player clears the ball and catches an opponent, the main discussion point is whether Pickford was in control?
Well he must be in control to clear the ball as he gets the timing right and it’s cleared, but then is he intentionally following through on Ings
I sense there will be these decisions going both ways this season and the frustration will be aimed at officials and consistencey!

I was gutted we lost, but happy with how we played. Just didnt have that bit of luck we needed.

No foul, end of. Good to see Hughes is being as consistent as ever. We lost, whine, whine, referee cost us the game, blah, blah. He is embarrassing.
What a difference to last year. Instead of one player in the opposition penalty area when we attacked we had 4-5 yesterday. Did you see that Sam?
Pleased to see Ings doing well yesterday, although not too well of course. After his injury problems he deserves some luck. Not sure about our defending for his goal though. No one marking the oppo c.f. who just stands on the edge of the six yard line.

Silva prefers zonal marking, hence Ings stood unmarked in 6 yard box! Crazy.
Jags last week, Vardy yesterday, full blooded tackles that get the ball and the man, I don’t think Pickford set out to “get†Ings, but he certainly caught him with his studs.
It’s the interpratation of intent or reckless that bothers me.
I thought Vardy followed through unnecessarily and that could have been a leg breaker. Pickford was there first, hit it cleanly and didn't look like he was looking for Ings. Ings really should have pulled out. He wasn't going to get there first and he should have noticed and side stepped Pickford. He could see that Pickford was there, was going to kick the ball at height. It's like riding a tackle, you have to use some nous.
Wasn't it great to see us attack with pace again? We need tightening at the back but neither Zouma or Mina have played yet so they will help.
