Brighton playing in blue, so Brentford thought it was a good moment bring out their own (hideous) blue kit. Hmmm…

Couldn’t find a thread on tonight’s fixtures but Sheff Utd look like a different team tonight than they did against us!

Yes! Already two good opportunities.

One of the good things about Prime is you can mute the commentary.

Jay Rod misses a sitter.

2 good saves by Bentley. Ref did well to let play continue.

Sitter? Not really.

chekhov

Was he? They never checked that, other than to say, ..."and Grealish was onside" It was possibly marginal. Are you conclusively sure it was offside, as a result of it being checked by your TV channel or just going with your own thought? I was wrong. Looks like he was definitely onside. I was trying...

chekhov

I appreciate that but how can you explain a ref playing advantage and then seeing that Grealish was clean through then stopping play ,Hooper has form for giving crazy decisions he’ll be dropped to the championship for a couple of weeks and then reinstated for the Burnley v Everton match,if that hap...

a multi billion pound industry being brought to it's knees every other game by pure ineptitude Football has the officiating it deserves. The way referees and match officials are abused and harangued, it’s no wonder that young people coming into the game don’t want to get into refereeing. Players th...

Grealish wasn’t offside but if he was Hooper wouldn’t know and should have let play go on and If he scored VAR would check for offside
Hooper has to be demoted for next round of matches
Dreadful refereeing

We shouldn’t mind, it’s Man city after all.

That is a 'dodgy' decision.
Sees foul. Play on. Pass made. Realise receives and is ahead of the pack....all seen by ref.

Then he blows for the FK.

Hmm...

Aye, but Grealish was offside!

Seems not too long ago I watched him score a wonder goal at the turf

Which one was that?

chekhov

On a recent RIP thread someone stated that such and such a person had “past away”. The pedant in me wanted to correct them. I refrained, guessing that I’d be accused of being disrespectful and, ahem, a pedant.
On this thread I feel amongst friends.

Now a penalty for Turkey. Hilarious decision!

chekhov

An outrageous decision. Dead legs him from behind before flattening him with body weight, no ball contact. I'm seriously thinking of giving up on football. I go on Munster rugby if it doesn't clash with Clarets but I might just go egg chasing. Sounds like you’re referring to the 2nd incident. The 1...

Okay. Strange, odd, confusing, peculiar. Pick your adjective. The point is that two teams we were much better than last season have been allowed to close that gap.

Hmmm…isn’t the season only a third completed? Have some patience, and see how we compare at the end of the season.

Nathan Tella comes off the bench to score his first goal for Bayer Leverkusen!

Much as I liked Maxwel, I can’t think of a player type we need less than ‘a winger who isn’t always available’

Scores cracking goals…

chekhov

Tella also not getting a look-in at Leverkusen, although they’ve had a storming start to the season, top of the league ahead of Harry Kane’s Bayern.

I'll have a guess based on history.......injured?

He’s usually been on the bench so far this season, so evidently not injured. That’s not to say he not injured at the moment. Real shame it’s not working out for him with Wet Spam.
Maybe a cheeky loan deal in January..?

Nothing wrong with Arteta he's proven himself at Arsenal and the guys a winner.

Surprised. And a little disappointed.

chekhov

You need the lines to get it parallel to the goal line and centre line Otherwise you can’t tell whether he is offside or not Championship don’t have lines and goals are given when player is 2 yards offside Not rocket science Please indicate just 1 goal from the championship last season that was sco...

The urgent action required is for the infantile behaviour of managers on the touchline.

Think Norwich are hampered by injuries. No Barnes, and I think Sargent too. Shame cos they started the season so well.

Nathan Tella on the pitch for Leverkusen. He hasn’t had much of a look-in this season. Hope fully he can establish himself.

chekhov

That's fine. But it seems like Henderson wants the best of both worlds. He wants to earn silly money by playing in a mickey mouse league yet still expects to be taken seriously as a top level footballer. He's not and his international career should be over. Haven’t read all the thread so may have b...

Great 1st half by the way. Impressed with Sunderland, giving it a real go. Could be 3 each.

Fair play to Ukraine. Gives them something to be cheerful about amid all their country’s going through. Their fans looked happy!

For a flair player Jack Grealish plays a lot of backward passes.

Rooney appointed. Shame for the old manager, probably made their best start to a season for quite a while. I can see this backfiring.

Everton leading.

Not sure whether we want that or not. It is against Bournemouth. Keeps them below us.

Absolutely too early to be worrying what other teams are doing. As long we beat the teams around us we’ll be fine.
I hope Everton win btw!

chekhov

Ex-players very rarely offer revealing and interesting insights into what it’s like to play football, well okay, they can be occasionally interesting, but they are relied on far too readily.
I’d rather listen to a football journalist that can articulate his (or her) thoughts.

I don't imagine he is saying "ref he never touched me I slipped" considering the next action is a straight red. I could be wrong and Patrick is pleading on behalf of the keeper I suppose

Fair enough. And apologies for my slightly sarcastic comment.

Bamford might find himself being asked to explain why he is appealing to the ref after diving

He is definitely saying something to the ref.
Did you hear what he said because I don’t believe it’s possible to make it out?
