Deuce

These midweek matches always sneak up on me. Seems like nothing much to see here, business as usual. Gayle rolling right along.

People don't half talk some real shite when it comes to goalkeeping, in general. "Shoulda had that." The 'that' referring to the ball knuckling in at 60 mph from 20 yards out.

im finding the whole premier league boring, thought i'd miss it. told my mate yesterday i didn't want to go up :lol: With exceptions, the PL is boring. PL clubs are far more risk averse than those in the Championship. When the priority for many is simply to avoid relegation and stay on the gravy train, the result is conservative, boring football. There's more margin for error in a 24-team league as well. I love the fact that we're actually scoring goals and winning football matches, regardless of what league we're in.

Aye. It's almost as if Rafa Benitez is a better judge of a player than some of the lads on here. I'll see your Ciaran Clark. And raise you Jack Colback. Honestly think Rafa sees him as no more than a workhorse, just a body he can throw out there to give Hayden a rest. He'll be upgraded upon at some point.

Been very pleasantly surprised with him. Going from Captain Fistpumps and a Colo who couldn't give less of a fuck to this guy and Hanley, been night and day. Just hope Clark doesn't turn back into a turd at the PL level.

fair point

There's always potential for a bigger win. Or a bigger loss. It's irrelevant, frankly.

Allardyce will be back before long.

Worrying that we allowed them a goal and didn't put at least 6 past them. Rafa should be feeling the heat.

Walcott barely misses his third, off the post and dribbles across the face of goal

Swansea getting some good chances

Admittedly one of my prouder moments: did you kill him, Mick?

Let himself go since causing the death of his father, like.

Fer is crap

Surprised that fat mess Lowes can hold a breath long enough to form a coherent sentence of any length.

Arsenal down to 10

Ozil 3-1 Feel like he's somehow underrated still.

Think we'll win this.

Yedlin played 2 matches for the U.S. in the past week.
