Surely a major consideration should be the nature of the team we are to play. Southampton are very different to Watford, Cooper could handle Watford’s slow attack but he couldn’t handle the pacy Soton forwards however well he did in training that week. Similarly, are the opponents likely to be all-...

Pretty poor when a footballer can't control the ball.

Referees Darren England and Dan Cook have been stood down after their inept officialling at the weekend.

Citeh lose their first game of the season, but remain top after their impressive start.

I detest Wolves.

Yes Mental, occurs so often to the non-elite clubs.

A lovely move & a fine finish from Jarrod Bowen helping the hammers to 2-0 victory over the out of their depth blunts.

Bowen's 5th goal of the season & a much better start to the season for West Ham sees them go 7th in the table.

Luton beating Everton at Goodison was the best result of the weekend, better than Palace's victory at the Stadium of

Jack came on in the second-half to no avail

Well done to the hatters on their first ever Premier League victory

No one would have predicted the Villa v Brighton scoreline. On their day, Brighton look like world beaters, on another day they endure some horrible defeats Brighton have conceded goal in their last 11 condsecutive games. Both defences looked suspect! A hat-trick for Watkins, but the pick of the goa...

Fulham defence all at sea, last night.

How Broja missed, I don't know, made up for it with Chelsea 2nd goal

Lovely goal from Mudryk for their first goal.

Moneybags Chelsea still only 11th in the table.

I assume you just have to keep paying their wages until the contracts expire, which is a bit of a bollock really, especially as players can, and do, just decide they want to leave and refuse to play if they feel like it, imagine the club refusing to pay them !! It wouldn't be funny if most of the c...

Farke needs to play his best team & be more ruthless when required. Selecting Coops & James, when we have shiny new signings with more quality, is not playing his best team. The captaincy also needs to be sorted out if it causes a selection problem. Two players who are automatic starters are...

2/10 that is extremely harsh. First goal is on of those dinked shots that either hits the outstretched arm and the goalkeeper gets all the glory or suggestions he was not big enough if it goes in. He had no chance with the Smallbone goal it was to well placed. The other shot he got a foot to and it...
