    Brentford have had a decent window. Brought in quite a few players, yet sold nobody of note. If Thiago had had a better World Cup for Brazil, maybe he would have attracted more interest.
    No offence to him, and maybe its because he's spent time as a pundit... But still trying to work out how Keith Andrews has ended up being a very inspired managerial choice for them - I suppose its not fair to him, as he has done a few coaching roles as well
    Genuinely one of my biggest humble pie moments. Was convinced he'd be terrible and be first manager gone last season purely because he seemed such a random appointment and hadn't been a No1 anywhere.

    No doubt he’s doing a great job but a lot of it is the structure at Brentford. I don’t think the manager there does everything they do at other clubs. It’s part of why Frank struggled at Spurs. You still have to be good within the structure though 
  • Imagine a world where:
    Charlton
    Milwall
    Palace
    West Ham
    Tottingham

    All in the Championship
    It would be just our rotten luck if Palace and Spurs get relegated this season, Millwall and West Ham stay put and Charlton get promoted. Nathan out…oh, hang on….

    I thought they were superb against Spurs on the first day.  They was first to the ball all over the pitch, everyone put in a shift, they moved the ball quickly and it literally could have been 6 or 7 had they taken the chances they created..

    Got to hand it to Keith Andrews, I thought they'd struggle a bit once the man who gives me PTSD left them but he's done one hell of a job and took them to another level tbh.

    Absolutely delighted for them and my old school mate Simon who has followed them religiously since the mid 80 with his old man.  Not sure how much more stick I can take off Simon though haha.

    Isak was looking sharper in Liverpool's last match and tonight he looks back to his Newcastle best aided by some weak keeping from Scherpen in the Ipswich goal to score a brace in 9 minutes.

    You’re being kind calling it weak keeping, thought it was dreadful for premier league. I’d expect a keeper at that level to save both. Yes, the first one was a bullet, but he’s got to be stronger.

    Palace winning at Fulham caps a grim afternoon. Fulham in serious trouble this season

    Why are Hull wearing white shorts today? 
    Don’t they usually have black shorts at home?
    It just looks wrong!

    They've worn this kit in all their PL games so far. It's based on an old retro kit from the 70s apparently.

    On first glance, it looked a goal.
    One second and third replay, it looked like a goal.

    Yes his hands were up protecting his face but was far from clear and obvious that he has handled it.

    Anyhow, other than that chance, Forest created nothing.  Sadly, Spurs only decent chance we actually created was in the 87th minute so was far from good enough.

    We looked ok in 2/3rds of the pitch but we look absolutely toothless up front.

    I'd now put next Sat's evening ko, home to Everton is in the 'must win' category, already.  We need to find some patterns of play, we need to find something.  More important, we need to find a bloody goal.

    First time we have drawn 3 consecutive blanks in the league since 1974.

    How the fuck have we spent almost £400m and we still look absolutely f'ing pony!  Only Spurs!!!

    I was just 🤮 after Chelsea scored an early goal.
    The days when top players would want to play in the Champions league has long gone with Chelsea getting the likes of Rogers from a team in Champions league to a team with no European football. No surprise when your bank account shows a few million pound paid in.
    1-1 no Konsa offside.
    0-1

    VAR bollocks, that's another decision VAR got correct 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I just realised that my dislike of Arsenal has gone up a notch, because the only teams I ever usually want Chelsea to beat are Palace and Liverpool. But I find myself cheering Chelsea on against them.
    There’s just something about this Arsenal side (and manager) that is repulsive to me.

    Standard of football is off the charts.

    As an England fan, I refuse to believe we wont win the Euros watching Rice, Saka, Rogers, Palmer and James in this

    It's called jealousy your lordship why you dislike Arsenal.

    It's certainly personal for me about Chelsea. It started when their low life smashed up the Valley. Some of my experiences at the bridge and Abramovich obviously being Putin's bitch in London long before the penny dropped and the rules galore they broke when buying the Premier League.

    Plus the arrogance rubbish I put up with when I ran a football team from the myriad of football Chelski Dad's.

    Other than that they are ok !

    All depends on if they actually stay fit and are picked for it though

    Jealousy? 😳
    I genuinely believe if those Woolwich rejects were the only team in London I'd support Cardiff City I hate them & their fake fans so much.
    C'mon Chelski!

    Suicide prevention week, eh? I hope they have got reinforcements in at Spurs… 

    Sorry, couldn’t resist, obviously a great initiative. 

    Apropos of nothing, and being acutely aware that I am no oil painting meself, Cole Palmer, not the most handsome player football has ever seen, but what’s with that haircut? It genuinely looks like a pudding bowl cut his mum has done.

    Just discussing this.
    General consensus is hes trying to avoid showing how receding his hairline is.
    Which then forced me to Google his partner.
    She obviously is with him for his brains and sporting prowess 🤪😘🤣🤣

    Surely players want to win things rather than just play in the champions league?

    ultimately got more chance of winning more trophies than with Villa

    What a fantastic goal by Arsenal:

    Fantastic cross and dummy by Havertz for Odegaard to score a cracking goal 2-1.

    I listened to the experts on CL in the World cup say Odegaard was so over rated !
    Not for Arsenal he isn't.
