Yea, really not ideal at all. 3 points this weekend will make me feel better about it!

Have to hope West Ham get battered next week now!

Theres certainly worse times to play Chelsea... 3 points and your chances of survival are very good.

Hope you do it too, I like having Midlands teams in the prem!

Obviously got blue and white blinkers on but they’ve been in our half 4 times and scored 4 goals

Keeper sat on a tartan picnic rug?

Yet they had 14 shots, 8 on target? Remarkable

Loving the banter towards Newcastle’s assistant manager on social media today from some of the top broadcasters in the country. Light hearted and funny

Usual entertainment at Leeds. No wonder there's so many grey and bald heads in the crowd.

I think he booked the wrong player, poor refereeing.

 

[Slime]

How is that not a free kick and a yellow card?

 

[Slime]

.................... and a great one it was, too!
Garnacho, different class!

 

[Tashyboy]

What a game between Notts County and Chesterfield. If KDB scores that free kick we are talking world class.

United showing again today how desperately they need a clinical finisher. Something like 27 shots on goal to score twice. It’s been like that far too often this season.

Makes it all the more galling when I read this morning that, allegedly, we could have signed Haaland for £4m from Molde before he moved to Dortmund.

He was never going to Utd Billy, he was a City fan from 3 1/4 years old Joking aside Billy. Talking to my lad re Keepers. If Utd are after one.He reckons the one at Inter is the one to go for. Re Centre forward, who do you fancy.Kane is the obvious choice but what about Martinez from Inter

I'm not Billy, so apologies for butting in.
I'd go for Matinez, without hesitation, but right now I'd take almost anyone.
I'd even keep hold of Martial!!

I may be a voice in the wilderness but I’m not keen on the idea of Kane. Spurs are likely to hold out for silly money for a player who is a couple of months shy of his 30th birthday. Don’t get me wrong, I’d happily see him at United, but if we’re going to spend £100m plus I’d rather see us move heaven and earth to recruit Victor Osimhen. He’s been scoring at better than a goal every other game since 2018 and has seen a fantastic return at Napoli. And his best years are ahead of him as he’s only 24.

‘Keeper wise, I like David Raya. There’s not an awful lot to choose between the top goalkeepers in the Premier League when it comes to shot stopping these days, but Raya seems well capable of playing the way Ten Hag wants. And he wouldn’t cost anywhere near the astronomical wages De Gea is allegedly on.

It’s an open question though Slime. Had a good pal who I worked with at me last pit. He is a red. Buzzing he had a ticket for the FA cup final

Get in there County.
