Not taken long for Nathan Aké to introduce Bournemouth style defending at Man City.

I'd give Barnes a run out on Wednesday we have to get stuck into them.

You can't blame Tarkowski for wanting to join Leicester.
They play some good stuff, think they'll get top 4 this season.

We're 2-3 games into the season. Far too early to tell who is going to do what. Last season Norwich were heading for the Champions League.

Am I alone in getting fed up of watching players I. E. Vardy and Kane who fall over in the penalty area every time someone touches them? It’s cheating really isn’t it?
The problem is that the FA and referees have been working to make the game like this. By their years-long decisions to make the slightest touch into a foul if and only if the "fouled" player falls over, they have encouraged diving.

Referees ought to be given a bit of revision as follows@

1. Incidental contact is not a foul.
2. If a player throws himself to the floor after incidental contact, it's still not a foul.
3. Even if a player is lying on the floor crying his eyes out and screaming with imagined pain, incidental contact is still not a foul.

i think it was understandable that fans wanted a system that could allow for correct decisions using technology, but the game relied on three match officials for way over a hundred years without too much trouble. Most supporters just accepted that it had to be done like that. The bulk of that period there was nothing much in the way of replays either.
Now we have a ridiculous state of affairs, both with technology causing even more issues, and the added implementation of petty minded rule changes , especially the insane hand ball rule. it is making the modern game look foolish.

I was talking to my brother in law today and he was saying how the Premier League this season is turning into more like the Championship, where anybody can beat anybody.

He might not be far wrong. Some bizarre scores so far this season.

Still can't understand why we weren't in for Bowen 6 months before he went to West Ham.

Probably because he went for 18 million.

Look at what he went for in the January... With 6 months left on his contract, £22 million
£60-80k a week in wages PLUS he refused a relegation clause in his wages, instead demanding a release clause of £20 million

We basically spent that much on Gibson. Nothing to say we couldn't have picked him up a bit cheaper as well 6 months earlier, Hull knew West Ham were desperate so pulled their pants down a bit.

Wolves are struggling to get going this season, you do have to wonder if their marathon campaign last season is catching up with them, and they don't have the biggest squad to start with, could they be sucked into a relegation battle?

West Ham are a strange beast, they were terrible against Newcastle, and since that defeat they've netted 13 in 4 games, and look a totally different animal.

Plenty of goals again this weekend, IDK whether that's down to great attacking or poor defending, perhaps a bit of both.

Surely Leicester can't pull it off again can they?

As for VAR stick it up your jacksie.

His wage demands meant it was a non starter for us.

Probably so. But if we aren't willing to shop abroad and now the better Championship players seem out of our reach you have to wonder where we go from here.

We got Wood.
We can get others but we have to be realistic and smart in our shopping.

You could ask how Hull were able to spot this lad when he was down at Hereford and he'd only played 8 first team games...

Our scouting network for the UK is slowly improving so in theory we would spot the next Bowen, but let's not forget we've already got McNeil.

Plus a European scouting network takes time and money to set up.

These VAR ruling's are certainly killing football. I thought it was there only to correct obvious and blatant errors. The handball decisions at Spurs and Palace were an absolute joke. Can't believe Newcastle walked away with a point. If it had been a boxing match it would have been stopped well before half time. Not sure what to make of the Mourinho comment about Spurs deserving more respect. I've said for many a day that the PL is loaded in favour of the bigger clubs when it comes to getting dubious decisions and i'm sorry to say Jose that includes Spurs.

Interesting idea re accidental hand ball in the area just been posted on the BBC's sport pages.

Ewan: I don't know why we, as a sport, have forgotten about the indirect free kick. Why not have an indirect free kick for unintentional, but potentially game-changing handballs?

To me, that's an idea worth thinking about. If only fans were in charge of the game.
