Kid Icarus

Lyle Lanley. I can't think about him as anyone but Pardew, but it does make you realise how many of them are like that. Martinez is the elite level version of the same thing imo and you could probably argue Mourinho is becoming that too.

No chance, man.

I can't believe anyone could have watched the Euros final and come to that conclusion like. If anything he was running forward into space too often.

Still think he'll start bagging goals anyway tbh. Nothing's really changed for me. Definitely need to create more for him though.

Aside from a few daft moments, I think Shelvey's been a pretty consistent 7 for the most part since Howe came in tbf.

I'm going for the Dyche Hodgson wildcard and saying: Norwich, Brentford, Leeds

I'll have a much better idea after our match with Brentford. Also, the poll needs to be fixed so you can pick 3.

Think you're both right, somehow. Leeds didn't look like scoring aside from the 2 they managed, and Man United's 4 are largely because Leeds simply don't defend properly rather than Man United being really good.

Our goal difference isn't looking too bad now

Oh that's lush from Fernandez

Reminds me of the hacky football matches we played as kids. Always ended in tears

Absolutely can't stand that Klich for some reason.

Possibly the worst 'keeper in the league, from what I've seen.

Dat attacking fred

I know I should want a Man United win, but I'll never get bored of them being shit.

First thing that came to mind for me too.

Hoping that Bielsa probably leaving at the end of the season messes with Leeds in the meantime. Didn't have them as one of the teams to potentially go down, but with Bielsa hanging over their heads and some key injuries it feels much more plausible now.

Yesterday's 'assist' by him is why you shouldn't take stats at face value. Burnley were honestly shite yesterday. It was a very weird 3-0 win.

It was also no less a free kick than the shoulder barge on Fraser in an almost identical position for us a moment earlier imo.

Don't even think it needs to be whispered like, he's out on his own as the clear winner at the moment.

To quote @Wullie(because I'll never forget it) "What's wrong with wishing he was dead? People die all the time, why not him?"

Oaaar noaaar

Hats off to Arsenal for not doing an Arsenal today at home to Brentford.

That Bailey for Villa has looked incredibly shit every time I've seen Villa.

It's starting to look like teams have worked out how to play against Villa and they have no answer for it yet.
