I had that feeling watching them last week, and the highlights this week as well.

And mark your calendars for when Watford faces your team. 3 easy points - despite what the announcers would have you believe, they are shite.

Based on what I've seen, Wolves are almost a good team. So, no.

Explain to me like a stupid child why City would be rumored at €100-125MM on Kane but wouldn't jump at Dortmund's rumored ask of €150MM on Haaland?

English teams will pay a huge premium for English players. I'd pay the extra for Haaland without a second thought. Kane has one or two years before he starts to decline, right? OTOH, since speed was never a part of his game, maybe he has a couple more years. Regardless, Haaland is only 21!

I'd pay that $150m right now as well (with Glazers' money, obvi).

Yup. Less jacked and oily, but the same level of finisher.

I hope Traore either stays at Wolves or goes to a squad like Leicester or Everton where I can still root for and enjoy him.

I've seen him have some of his best games against Spurs and I still hope they don't buy him.

Newcastle keeper's hair is something else. Not sure if he asked for the "Moe" or the "Pete Rose".

Seems a little too reliant on the two Portuguese so far.

Would have been nice to see the build-up before the NUFC goal instead of the 13th replay of the Ronaldo celebration. Fucking cuntmuppets.

Guess that won’t happen now as they will instead show 13 replays of the second goal of his

It appears NUFC is in need of a human to play goal instead of an inanimate piece of dog shit. If they call me, I’ll be more ready to play than Freddie Woodman.

yeah, goal-keeping understanding is NOT my thing - but I thought it was pretty weak on the spill that led to first MU goal, and that was definitely what appeared to be sub-optimal work on the second goal. Like, I know it was struck with pace but to go right through his legs...

Nope, that wasn’t his fault but fuck Freddie nonetheless. Even with the slight deflection on the first, the ball hit him in the Mickey Mouse hands and botching that play is inexcusable on a premier league pitch. Would have liked tighter marking on Ronaldo there too, but whatever, it shouldn’t have gotten to that point. This game is much tighter with Dubravka or Darlow in goal.


It’s the hope that kills ya. Which means I’m gonna live cause I have no fucking hope for this team right now.

Well, today we learned that Brentford will not go unbeaten all season, and Arsenal will not go winless all season.

Further updates to be provided as they happen.

Josh Sargent didn't even make the bench, so nobody else worth watching in the fixture. Haven't seen the highlights. Not sure if I should be happy Arsenal had 30 shots, or concerned they only scored one and only 6 were on target. I'll take the points, but scoring one goal after 4 games is problematic.

These behind the goal reaction cams are pretty common but you don’t usually get to see two goals on them…
