Much better this. Most we've caused problems against a City side in about 10 year.

Ake injured free fiver back then.

6 goals in pre season and the daft fucker skies it when it counts

This ref is a cunt.

Willock's pass there was horrible

Bruno, Schar and Ake cards 110/1. Canny start

Yellow for a first foul alright you mad Aussie cunt

That's fucking crap defending. Game over then.

I reckon a gutsy, battling performance with a few half chances created but ultimately two late sucker punches. They're too good. 0-2.

On the Harold boost early and also backed him to score a header with 365 at 9/1.

Fucking septics

He'll be in a toon top before next weekend.

Btts in the four Championship games & one Conference game tonight 24/1

7 goals from open play in 33 starts last season. Hardly setting the world alight

Joao Pedro, Colby Bishop, Andreas Weimann anytime treble (if they start) 33/1

Class. Go on Palace

Rebacked this 130/1 Coral.

Return the favours: Salah/Diaz 85/1 Diaz/Nunez 125/1 (both PP) Ward, Guehi & Fabinho cards 110/1 Nunez, Salah & Diaz to all score & assist 85/1

Thought J.Pedro looked handy whenever I saw him tbh. Young player who can only improve in our setup. Wouldn't be against this at all.

I think as the window nears to a close we'll be more likely to either pay that extra £5-£10m to get a priority target over the line, or we'll be able to get a loan deal as someone becomes available. There's no way we don't do anything at all IMO, would be such a miss if we didn't strengthen the front end of the pitch.

What a pity it was to see Honest Kai Havertz for Chelsea on the wrong side of a blatant foul not given today. Amazing how the entire bench kicked off about it, clearly they have short memories after the refs handed them 3pts versus us last season. Entitled southern cunts.

Backed Brentford heavy last night at 3/1 which undid a lot of the damage of Saturday 3pm. Sheff U, Blackburn, West Ham treble today. Will have a few dabbles on the Chelsea game too.

Wilson's PL record for us is a couple of goals short of 1 in 2 and that spans the Bruce era and only includes 3 games since Howe sorted us out properly. A good enough striker will still score goals in our current side with Bruno and Trippier looking to create, whereas we know Wood can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Give us a creative CM and a right winger but Wood still only gets you a couple of goals max in those 16 games he's likely to play. I'd back a proper striker to get more in our current side within that number of games.

Those of you who are saying Ramos or a.n.other striker is less important than a right winger or centre mid - it's worth reminding you all that Wilson has only been fit to feature in 46/78 (59%) PL fixtures since he signed for the club. As it stands we're statistically likely to see Wood start 16 games this season. A striker is absolutely fucking critical IMO.

Usual 0-something and move on. I'd shake hands on keep it to 3 and no injuries or suspensions.
