Slightly OT, but it looks like former Premier League stalwarts Bolton Wanderers, along with Bury, will be going into liquidation and facing expulsion from the EFL. Sad times.

christian eriksen is good as gone. he erased tottenham in his mind and seeks a new adventure obviously. i expect him to be moved by 2nd of September.

It's early days but don't think anyone will be able to stop Liverpool or City again, there will be a big gap between them and third again

Nice to see Leicester putting together a good start, I really rate their team this year

I fully expect Liverpool to win the league by at least 6 points.

Can't see anyone touching those two, though I think Man city will win the league easily because they have so much depth, not sure Liverpool can handle a few injuries.

It is great to see Leicester in third, hopefully Arse and Spurs draw tomorrow, so we can hold on a little longer, We've got a nice little team but haven't hit our stride yet. Tielemans has been poor (even though he scored and had an assist today).

Unai should be fired.

I was at a wedding and missed the game. Looked pretty entertaining.

An away point at the Emirates is decent but disappointing not to win from 2-0 up.

Xhaka and Luiz are trash. They can and should be replaced. Glad Arsenal didn't bottle it.

Time for real football at last after the borefest of "international football". The qualifiers are a complete waste of time for the top echelon of teams and the weeks of inactivity early in the season just ruin the momnetum built in the top leagues. Perhaps we should just allow the top echelon of teams direct entry into the finals or get all the qualifiers played in a 4 week period at the end of the spring, after the leagues have finished.

Anyway looking forward to Manure Leicester. Big six team at home should be a guaranteed win, we should be happy with a point but now's the time to make our move.

Vardy to skin Maguire inside out on his way to a hat-trick as Leicester win 1-3.

Norwich though... This could be a famous win

Rodri makes it 3-2 as I say that

Despite Spurs being excellent today and looking more like themselves, Norwich stole the show with that win over City. Tammy Abraham had an impressive outing at Wolves too. Not to discredit Norwich at all, but City's defence looked shambolic at times. Big ups to Farke and the players.

Pep can't hold a candle to klopp. Started out with a much better team, spent three times as much and finsihed with one more point over the course of 34 games as his inability to adjust well saw him knocked out by a greatly undermanned tottenham team. So happy klopp won his cl. Salah getting injured vs madrid doesn't make klopp's 2018 ucl final run less impressive than pep's cl wins

Let me restate, taking Liverpool and dortmund to cl finals was a more impressive feat than either of pep's cl wins.

How where we so bad against Watford!?

Post #98 » by **coldfish** » Sat Sep 21, 2019 6:19 pm

Watford the ire of an irritated ManCity side. They are going to go on a "hulk smash" type run for a while.

But your lot have a 5 point lead over them already. That's not so easy to catch up.

De Bruyne is a cheat code.
