Oh, you're one of those people! I've had a few go AWOL and it's bloody annoying Also, because we don't/won't 'steal' anything in return!

Ironic that Haaland lost it completely at the end there over that ludicrous Ref's decision but he has to also acknowledge he cost City today with that open goal miss in the first half. By his standards, it was a shocking miss and quite frankly, a poor performance from him overall.

This game is a typical example of why we should do away with the Saturday lunchtimes and keep a Saturday evening slot. Atmosphere is ten times better.

Well Gareth, you've been given a great draw there. Only you can hold us back now.

Yeah, another nuts start like Swansea in the week. We've conceded first a few times now but this team normally creates enough to score themselves, thankfully that's what we did. Have to say, as happy as I am with three points, we really need to work on our concentration levels. Made that hard work unecessary really, even when 'Boro went to 10 men. They hit the post from us being sloppy, it shouldn't have been a warning we needed. Deserved win over the 90 mind for sure. No one touches Summerville as the best player in this league. He's so so good. Honestly, he's just unreal that our biggest battle in January will be keeping him without a doubt. And sometimes, you have to pinch yourself to believe Archie Gray is only 17. Basically playing RB even though he is a midfielder and the lad is so composed on the ball, he continually seems to play the right ball or not panic. Love him but know for absooute fact someone from above will eventually nab him. He's going all the way.

Ok, I'll take a punt. Leverkusen to win, BTTS 6/4 Man City to win, BTTS 11/8 £10 wins £59.38

Absolute kamikaze from West Brom there. No idea what they were trying to achieve 4mins into added time with that corner but they've absolutely thrown that.

I've not seen you loads but watching so far, I feel like you're a a bit slow to build up an attack. Feels like when a team sits in against you, you need someone to up the tempo a bit. I think a Number 10 to go behind the striker in your system would help that. Winks, Ndidi and Dewsbury-Hall seems a bit overkill. You definitely could benefit from a bit more variety to your play. It's a bit predictable but then I don't think you look in too much danger of conceding either. West Brom look a bit toothless to me. Solid but they have only looked a threat from set pieces or Leicester playing into trouble.

Cancel this. Bayern postponed so it will be void. I'll look elsewhere.

I've said before about doing away with the 12:30 Premier League games but I'd happily see the back of the 12:30 Championship ones too. Zero atmosphere at West Brom today. Don't really get it, place should be bouncing as it borders on a derby.

Saturday 2nd December, 2023 Arsenal 2-1 Wolves Brentford 2-0 Luton Burnley 1-0 Sheff Utd Nottm Forest 1-1 Everton, 17.30 Newcastle 2-1 Man Utd, 20.00 Sunday 3rd December, 2023 Bournemouth 2-2 Aston Villa, 14.00 Chelsea 1-1 Brighton, 14.00 Liverpool 2-0 Fulham, 14.00 West Ham 2-1 Crystal Palace, 14.00 Man City 3-1 Tottenham, 16.30

Going for a Sky Boost of the following... Kane, Saka and Mbuemo 2 SOT each. 7/1, £10 wins £80.

I think I read a little while ago before our game with them that their results, as well as Ipswich's too, were not in correlation to their performances. It was more over performing from the chances they were actually creating and I just think that now we're seeing that level out. It was always a tough ask to keep up form that could potentially beat that famous Reading side, it's just that when you gain some momentum, everything seems to go for you ok and can paint an entirely different picture. Leicester in particular just need to stay calm and not overreact to things. They are still one of the best sides in the league. Thing is, you will drop points to teams you really should beat. It happens every year to everyone. You can't beat yourself up over it. Jesus, we've dropped points to Wednesday and Rotherham because we've not been clinical. But then we've beaten First and Second away from home. You've got to have perspective. You'll get away with and nick a fair few games you probably dont deserve to also. It's a 46 game slog. I think everyone has 7 games in December and you just got to grind out the results, so by the time Jan 1st comes, it feels like the business really begins.

Cheers lads. Unfortunately my fiance and I broke up after an 8 year relationship unexpectedly, my father was diagnosed with cancer, I had a car crash and my the company I worked for over 17 years with made me redundant due to financial reasons all over a two week period. Unbelievable really. I needed some major help that saved me from doing a stupid thing, had some great support since which I'm forever in debt to, but Christmas really isn't for me this year. That said, I'm happy to turn a negative to a positive and help others. There's always people worse off than yourself and when you strip it all back, I'm thankful for what I do have.

I quite like Christmas but it'll be the first one in about 8 years where I'll not be looking forward to it at all this year sadly. Dreading it infact. So instead, I've volunteered to work the Christmas day lunch at a kitchen near me to serve people who are either homeless or can't afford a hot meal on the day and I'll pop in and see family in the evening.

So someone will get sent to the sin bin for an offence then the team with a man down will go ultra defensive for 10mins to see out that period before getting their player back? Yeah, what a great idea...

Going to Eastleigh v Reading Sunday as its just down the road and ITV's main TV pick. Be nice to see Laura Woods in the flesh.

The problem for me is, he's got no authority so he makes the defence nervous. He's not really an intimidating keeper to try and beat. God knows how he talks to them back there but for Man Utd to score 3 goals in every Champions League away game and not win one tells you a lot about Onana's presence for me.

Rutter's touch for this goal was sensational. Him and Summerville have quality I'm not sure many others are fortunate to possess in the league.

Another first round pick loses. Ah well, we go again in about five weeks time.

Comfortable night in the main. Did what we needed to do although it felt like we had another gear in us. One thing that seems to be consistant in this league is Rutter and Summerville. They just always seem to look like two Year 11 kids playing against Year 7's on the playground. The quality they possess for this league is a joke, thank god we kept them (so far) Swansea have some decent players, but that Duff hasn't a clue for me. I get you're playing away to a team you're expected to lose to but he's got to give them more lease to be threatening with what they have. Bit more pressure applied and they could have caused us issues but they seemed far too passive.

Haha. It's all love mate. Except for when we don't beat you.

No thanks mate, prefer watching a fresh coat of paint dry
