@dogmeat On the podcast I listened to this morning, they were praising Parker's recruitment and quick work in getting a lot of new players well. They also reckon Fulham have an advantage in location in being able to take someone of the class of Loftus-Cheek on loan - a lot more appealing to shift to a club down the road rather the frozen north.
Sheffield United look gone already but I would be wary of them yet managing to put a run together. West Brom should go down - you do really need to beat Brighton who have looked good at times but you want to keep them close to the bottom. And at least Burnley pulled Arsenal into the relegation fight ....

I am really happy Fulham have come good. It's very rare for a team to bring in that many players in one window and actually get better.
Winner of the weekend was the Premier League. This time last week it looked like business as usual at the top, as the big budgets started to float towards the top of the table. A bunch of draws and suddenly there are a bunch of teams that can win. The lower the projected points total is, the more teams that will believe they are a chance.
Arsenal are fucked though.

It's a bit like what the championship usually looks like this season where one win can put yoi right up the table and a loss sends you 5 places the other way.

@KiwiPie We're 17 off the top - Just saying....
Title may just be out of reach - but Europa League will be easy on current form!
Before COVID - Sheff U
P 28 W 11 D 10 L 7 = 43 points
After COVID - Sheff U
P22 W 3 D 3 L 16 = 12 points

Strange week of upsets continues as Wolves win to prevent Chelski going equal top. and West Brom are holding Citeh to 1-1 at half time
And it ends at 1-1. City too ponderous this season and teams finding it easy to contain them. Wolves are hard to pick, once you fancy them to win a game, they lose and vice-versa. My Superbru form is terrible!
-
It doesn't matter what shirts they are wearing, if a Mourinho team comes to your house as a big club, you know exactly what the game is going to look like
At least this time the good guys won
-
Chris Wood scored again for Burnley in their 2-1 win over Wolves.
-
for all the talk of the Man U "crisis" they are 4 points off the top, with a game in hand. They have scored as many as anyone, and conceding about the same as well. A narrative built around Europe?
-
@mariner4life Media seem to blame Ole for everything Man U get wrong and put all their success down to luck. Exactly the opposite of how they treat Arteta (although that is changing now).
Fucking Woods. Fucking Burnley and fucking stupid refs [that was never a penalty in Fulham v Newcastle - should've been a Red for the tackle, a free kick outside the area and a yellow for the blatant dive]

Arteta goooooorn

okay, maybe not yet. but it's coming. Reports of contingency planning for relegation. ouch. Hammered by City to be out of another Cup.

City into yet another Milk Cup final (4th in a row) and now up against another specialist in winning the inferior domestic cup Mourinho with Spurs who never win anything. Even 1st half between City and United but once City were ahead, United didn't have of an idea of what to do. I think Bruno Fernandes broke the record for most turnovers of possession.
