Is there an easier team to play against in this league? I reckon we could easily go the next 5 games without a shot on target

West Ham and sheff united both look like they will struggle this season, but I reckon we’re gonna finish below them both.

Hope so.

Well done Shelvey

Why is it so accepted that we’re not going to see much of the ball? Surely they should be questioning why our experienced manager can’t change that after 3 transfer windows?

Shelvey’s perfected the stand still and point technique when defending.

That’s an absolutely bizarre starting 11. Why is Lewis on the bench if he hasn’t trained all week? Fuck off interrupting the questions you wanker.

Regardless, that shouldn't be handball anyway. The handball rules are fucking shite these days.

I thought the rules stated that the hand had to be in an unnatural position?

Brighton had a pen too. Palace also had a pen in game one. 2 goals ruled out by VAR. Oh well. Penalty was fine, no idea why they played a minute (or 2) extra though. Because of Brighton's celebrations in injury time. Naah, goals are not a reason for injury time and celebrations werent that long. Goals are a reason for injury time They should be but they rarely are.

Aye. let's hope, Steve. Man united 4-1 Arsenal 4-0 Liverpool 3-1 Leicester 5-0 Spurs 3-1 Man City 5-0 Yep, certainly did well against those top teams Steve

All of the other teams to change their tactics

Yep, completely agree with this.

Can you imagine him as a coach? I can’t.

Are they linked with them both? Guess that's the Lampard-Terry connection at work?

Not how they used to do things at Hoffenheim though [/kaka]

But they've been denying them owning NUFC for the last 6 months so I dont really understand this. Maybe Qatar are only pumping £40m in.

Some people have already written him off on here too. Not true. Can only remember me commenting something negative about him in his first match. I simply said that he was gash in his first match, and if that kind of performance turns out to be his norm, then he would be contender for flop of the season. I don't think that will happen, but if it did.

"Bruce kept getting compared to Rafa, which was unfair, so here's a comparison to Rafa again"

Can someone explain what happened on Murphy's dinked cross that nobody bothered with? Do they all think it's going out or something?

2-0, Son fluke and Kane offside handball goal.

Exactly.

We won 7-0. Cheer up man. Weird that you didn’t say anything after the Brighton game. Too busy? I said we were awful. Literally after the game. In the match thread. Bit of an own gol there mate. Keep trying. Apologies, I meant about Bruce, in this thread.

Your obsession with him is going to get as tiring as HTT’s Mexican joke.

Murphy looked pretty good. Great goal from joelinton. They couldn’t be arsed could they.
