Bit of bonus coverage on USA channel, Leicester vs Villa. Been on 2 minutes and already the commentator has said "Harvey Barnes" 3 times. Fuck off man.

Hodgson laughing his bollocks off on the sidelines 5-1 down, halycon days at Watford like

Got to be Birtles

5-1 Man City, Jesus

It's too soon to fall in love man. Bruno, stop it mate, it's too soon

Not athletic enough.

Bruno typically was averaging about 3 goals a season at Lyon, he has that in 3 games

WOW

Penalty to Man City, 14 seconds into the second half

Or blast the ball off his clock

Barely worth a quarter of what we paid for him 6 months ago, now would honestly never sell, best redemption story at this club in decades, maybe ever

Magnificent volley from Rodri, 3-1

Nice goal Watford, lovely pass from Dennis

Man CIty 2-0, brilliant cross from the GOAT

We're not yet good enough that we can make this many changes and function the same way.

Pukki reminds me of Ray Wilkins the way he runs

I'd love to think the likes of Badiashile/Botman, Paqueta/Phillips, Osimhen/Nunez are realistic but I haven't a clue. Quite honestly, whatever the club decides to do, alongside EH's input, and we grow steadily, i'd be thrilled with that.

Beautifully put. The absolute nerve of this bastard to refer to EH as "That fella from Bournemouth" man. You're not fit to be mentioned in the same breath you utter waster. Howe has core principles as a man and as a professional that this twat couldn't even dream of. The media sympathy and backing for this pig will always disgust and frustrate in equal measure. Need to let it go but it's hard man.

Watched it again a couple of times. I'm going to hold my hands up on this one and say my initial reaction was probably wrong. I'm still not convinced it was a penalty but my god, it was an awful piece of defending by Azpiliqueta and, basically, Saka took advantage of being initially blocked off by a defender not paying attention to the ball and playing the man.

It's hardly textbook defending and I've seen Azpiliqueta get away with all sorts in the past for sure. I'd have to watch it again but it looked to me like Saka got in between him and the ball, grabbed his arm (pulling it round himself to make it look like he was being grabbed and held) and pulled him over while falling himself. He literally would have struggled to watch the ball as he's being dragged over and off balance. It reminded me of Vardy winning a penalty against Spurs earlier this season where he grabbed the Spurs defender, held him for a few seconds and then leapt into the air like he stepped on a landmine and, of course, got the decision. Just don't like the direction the game has gone in if this is a decision that seen as correct, even hours after with video evidence to lean on. Might be in a minority there like.

That Arsenal penalty decision is absurd. Saka literally holds onto Azpiliqueta's arm and then falls over. It's a foul by Saka if anything. VAR quality as usual.

Moran had some sparkling debut against Wolves back in 91(?). Had a hangover from a night out with Gazza, if memory serves, did fuck all except fall over while missing an open goal from 2 yards, in an amazing 0-0 draw. Probably still had a skin full
