Another UCL disaster for Man United the main story of week 1. A thrashing for Barca isn't really news these days when the opposition is Bayern.
United and Ole looks like a union heading for inevitable divorce but it is delayed by extravagant gifts to paper over the cracks. But the more expensive things Ole has to cope with, the less he looks like knowing what the hell he is doing.

@canefan Saturday's result notwithstanding I would bet the house on Fulham and West Brom yo-yoing back up. Standrad in the Championship seems to have fallen away and in a Covid environment parachute payments are even more 'helpful' than usual.
I thought the same with Bournemouth previous year, 2 games a week and injuries over a long season makes the championship more of a marathon. Need to have players fit near the end.
Hard to make the big predictions this far out, but both teams look likely to be there abouts. Key is to finish obviously in the top 2 and avoid the playoff shootout which anything can happen. Personally I hope my cherries stay close, we have a good young squad, but I am well aware if we have a few injuries we are farked. Still good start for us at least.

@bayimports Fulham have a very strong squad but the last two weekend's results show the accuracy of your comments.
I'd still be very surprise if we didn't finish top 2. We played shite against Blackpool but 9/10 times we would have beaten Reading with 25 shots on goal.
I think you'll be there or thereabouts. It's looking like 3 from WBA, Fulham, QPR, you guys and Sheffield.
I base this on Sheffield having the squad and Manager to make up for their slow start. Coventry have done well but surely not and Stoke, Huddersfield and Blackburn all look very limited despite their lofty positions.
I hope you like 1-0 results with very little goalmouth excitement a.k.a Parkerball. Fulham are a helluva lot better now Scott's gone. Nice guy and could develop into a decent Manager but at this stage it's all about the cardigans.

well done @Hooroo
awesome crowd for a wednesday night and love what you did with the programmes, the pic with the Wimbledon FC corner post

@Kiwiwomble The game wasn't broadcast in NZ, or at least it wasn't on Sky. Instead they showed West Ham beating ManUre.

@bovidae He's missed so much football when he should have been at his peak - but he did play around 170 games in the EPL but not a single game since the 2017-18 season. But on 70K pounds per week for this the last few years, he should be set up for life.
Brentford obviously didn't see him as part of their plans after he was on loan there, suspect he would need to take a dramatic salary cut to get a gig somewhere.

Back to the championship for him, or maybe a gig in the US or the Middle East maybe?

Jesus - Foodbill doesn't really cut it for Winston. Brewster's Millions?
To quote Yosser Hughes, "I could have been a footballer...but, I had a paper round."

He signed a contract extension ahead of the 2017/2018 season to keep him at West Ham until 2023 and I think that was when he moved up to 70K per week. Since then he has played 19 games for West Ham. That's about 750K pounds per game not including any pay-off to terminate his contract early. Over 1 million NZD per game played. That's a decent hourly rate.

Ha! Villa beat Man Utd 1-0 at Old Trafford. Happy days
Man Utd were awarded a last minute penalty but Bruno Fernandes forgot for a second he's not Jordie Barrett.
So many times yanited get gifted last gasp pens

Get in Villa! Kourtney Hause you beauty!
Jack who 👀

A reversal of last week when United got the late winner and then West Ham missed the pen.
A good day for Man City with none of their 3 main rivals winning - great game between Brentford and Liverpool. Brentford overloading Trent T-A repeatedly and he struggles to defend without being overloaded.
And if Brighton win the last game of the weekend they go top for the first time ever.

@Hooroo North London is red today.
I have a feeling we won't get much to celebrate this season, so I am clinging on to this like we have won the Prem!
