It does stick in the craw a bit that they basically got their new stadium for free by mugging off their creditors but in the current circumstances, I'm prepared to overlook that for a season. Of course,the other irony is that with Leicester and Spurs all but guaranteed first and second and West Ham...

Man City are my favourites for the title.

I can't see Spurs or Leicester maintaining their form.

Suggestion in the pub was that managers get a video ref call. One per game, where footage can possibly be reviewed. Looks fine in principle, probably full of holes. They've started doing this in NHL this season. Whilst I do agree that decisions are called correctly, it does make scoring a goal feel...

It's a fair goal, isn't it? Or is it just me who hasn't seen anything with the whole of the ball over the line.

bracksroyal10 Getting rid and yet we allow HRK to put in poor performance after poor performance every week.

Talk about players getting too comfortable due to lack of competition.

MOTM performance on Saturday.

And he has really taken to heart the criticism about being lightweight.

Robin Friday

It's not a false position because you can see why they have done well: two very quick strikers on purple patches; efficient style of play; on-form goalie; settled defence. The element of surprise is also important: did Chelsea really expect to lose to them? I can't see them winning the Premiership h...

sandman They should have included a mosque and an ice rink.

You don't need planning permission for a mosque though

Plus we did benefit from him, if only financially. And we would have benefitted on the pitch had he not emerged at a point where there was no opening in the team. And he hadn't under-performed badly when he did get the nod. I love this type of signing too - Trevor Senior and Robin Friday come to mi...

LUX Gr8 result for Palace.

Loliverpool, yet again.

That's two bad results in a row then. I wonder how much longer Klopp can last, with Stevie G reportedly watching from the stands.

Ferdinand was shocking for both goals - like an old man who needed an extra 30 minutes to warm up. Apart from that we were ok. The referee was abysmal but Fernandez and John looked good. It's difficult to pick a man-of-the-match...possibly Blackman again.

First of all, some questions for you: 1. How long did it take you to register for this site? - I'm surprised you managed to register before the game as we have known some quite lengthly delays in the username approval process. 2. Did you not consider a username along the lines of Charlton fans I co...

Thoughts are with you though. If Bond does find some form it will be a tough season for you.

(I don't think that was the case in 1998 when Beckham was sent off - that's still my personal choice for worst refereeing decision ever.) What was the incident? Have I got my years wrong? Beckham flicked his leg back at Simeone and got a red card for being David Beckham in the World Cup quarter-fin...

I hope he gets off, and the Arsenal defender too, because it was extremely entertaining and the kind of battle between a forward and the opposition centre halves I like to see, Seriously? :| I don't think anybody would be silly to disagree with me but yes. Costa has committed some nasty fouls and b...

Costa charged by FA with violent conduct I hope he gets off, and the Arsenal defender too, because it was extremely entertaining and the kind of battle between a forward and the opposition centre halves I like to see, but can't really see it. The letter of the law uses the word violence, and there ...

Good to see Man City giving the Italians a good start in catching the PL in the coefficient stakes. Would really be fun to see a PL with only 3 CL places to go around. I'm not sure it matters too much. Man Utd's turnover only dropped 8% when they missed out on Europe. With the new premiership deal,...

Spurs 9-0 against Bristol Rovers
Colin Lee got 4 and somebody crap got 3
