Weekend Football

[Ascotexgunner]

Just waiting for Celtic fans to start singing "are you Bournemouth in disguise"

LOL 1 minute injury time. I've never seen that before. And he blew up early......
Can only assume it was to put poor Dundee It's out of their misery.

[Franchise FC]

Can imagine the Dundee fans willing Celtic to get another 3 to set a new biggest win that isn’t including them

Richarlison is box office.

[Royal Rother]

He’s a oxf*rd

Richarlison is box office.

That was almost Kebe-esque

[genome]

He’s a oxf*rd

Did you have a problem with Kebe pulling up his socks against West Ham?

[Royal Rother]

Did you have a problem with Kebe pulling up his socks against West Ham?

Uh no, why

What’s that got to do with Richarlison being a oxf*rd?

What were Forest thinking? £140m transfer spend, half of them not in the team and they leave poor old Steve Cook to handle Harry Kane.

Just about to sign their 3rd LB of the summer and the bloke they bought last week has been loaned to, yes you've guessed it, Olympiacos.

[URZZZZ]

He’s a oxf*rd

Perfect fit for his manager then, thoroughly dislikeable bloke Conte is

[URZZZZ]

Strange parallel between Palace and Bournemouth so far, both with the exact same fixture list so far with results not being too far off

Both beaten Villa (H), conceded four to City (A), lost by a few to Arsenal (H) with close games at Anfi…oh

Watford have done similar too, signing Hassane Kamara for £4m in January, selling him to Udinese for £16m last week, and then immediately loaning him back. It's a loophole that FIFA surely need to close. Daily Mail says that there have been '60 transactions' between Watford and Udinese since they were bought by the Pozzo family.

After five matches, Preston are still to concede a goal. And they've only scored one. Four scoreless draws and a 1-0 win. Excitement.

another 0-0 at the weekend

their season so far is:

0-0
0-0
0-1
0-0
0-0
0-0

Absolutely bizarre. Within that run they've put four past Huddersfield in the League Cup, and then lost to Wolves in the following round, so there's goals to be had as a Preston fan. Just not in the league!

Haaland might beat Kane to Shearer's record at this point

[Winston Biscuit]

At this rate he is projected to score 68 league goals this season

[Winston Biscuit]

At HT in the 5th game of the season Haaland is already 28% of the way to equaling the most goals ever scored in a 38 game PL season, and it's still August.

Don’t think there’s a more dislikeable manager around than Conte

Has spent the last few games going on about how he won’t discuss refereeing decisions and VAR yet rambles on about it tonight after it came to the correct decision (I’m sure he was OK when the system allowed his own player to throw someone to the floor by their hair)

And then to say his side deserved to win which simply wasn’t true, no matter how you try and sugarcoat it

Normally ignore managers’ comments before/after games as it’s full of rehearsed cliches but he talks utter nonsense and seems a thoroughly unpleasant bloke. 11 points from 5 games is a decent points haul but I don’t think they’ve looked good at all so far this season. As Mourinho found out at Spurs, relying on a solid defence and two/three strikers on the counter each game isn’t very sustainable

I can think of one. Has Conte thrown the physio under the bus or blamed the local ambulance service for his own medical team not making a quick clinical decision?

Conte's just doing what Ferguson and Wenger used to do all the time. At least he's not convinced himself of his own infallibility.

Yeah, he's a little silly, isn't he. A second hat-trick in just his 5th game in the Premier League, which beats Demba Ba's record of 21 games to achieve that milestone. Haaland has more goals so far this season than 15 of the other 19 clubs in the Premier League. He's only completed 90 minutes once, as well.
