Yeah, and get kicked out again in an early round. Oh well, does anyone have a list of matches (dates) of what I should/can be viewing during the international break? to quell my anger/disappointment with the Wenger.

e.g., England, Germany, Italy, France, etc. Whose playing who? and when?

Thanks Geoff, not really interested, still hope you guys won.

Luckily I got to tape Germany v. Poland so I'll see how that goes when I eventually get around to watching it.

Bloody hell, Palace got within a whisker of snatching a point from the runaway favourites for the title. Amazing effort today, it wasn't to be but City knew they'd been in a game. Spurs next, I hope we ****ing well smash 'em.

Pizzamorg · 09-13-2015, 04:55 PM

Infuriating refereeing during that Villa game but another game unbeaten for Leicester and three gorgeous points, so so so happy with the result, Villa didn't deserve a single point, disgusting play from them. It was so enjoyable to see Villa look so defeated for the last half an hour so. I expected Villa to go down last year but they're definitely gone this year.

Foul after foul from Villa and the ref seemed to be in their pocket, ignoring such obvious intent to disrupt play because Villa clearly knew they couldn't match Leicester's character, intensity, technical prowess, pace or work rate through open play. I'm shaking now as much in joy as I am in fury. The only player worth a mention on Villa's squad was Grealish who near enough vanished after his goal, a goal of opportunity rather than any kind of actual skill.

Speaking of brutal refereeing, the Spurs-Sunderland game was rough. Spurs got away with so much.

Penton-Man · 09-22-2015, 12:09 AM

Diego Costa = the absolute worst of English football.....or football in any league for that matter. And a manager that deflects or tacitly approves of such conduct in post game interviews should be ashamed.

He did his very best (IMO) to get John O'Shea sent off last year but failed. Bad loser and almost childlike IMO. Great player though it has to be said.

Well, as we continue our descent into the championship, I wonder who will provide the comedy gold today. I go for Coates if he plays! 2 points from 6 games is disgraceful and our board should be ashamed of the mess this football club is in. Season after season and Short still hasn't learnt his lesson. Totally inadequate director and the sooner he sells up the better.

Pizzamorg · 09-26-2015, 11:39 PM

The Arsenal result was a disappointment but not really a surprise. If Norwich had managed to win next week would have been a different game.

So sorry your lot are stuck in the mire, but it's not like we haven't been here before! It's like deja vu, every Sunderland season's been the same these last few years. Terrible start, team on the brink, new manager comes in with a few months to go and he pulls off the great escape. Who will it be this time? Allardyce perhaps, or won't the Mackem faithful take to him after he managed the Magpies?

Cracking win for Palace yesterday though, thoroughly mediocre game (which became a virtual replay of the play off final, what was I saying about deja vu?) but we got the three points and that's all that matters. 12 points after that start, including games against Arse, Spuds, Chelski and Citeh? Brilliant, just brilliant.

Pizzamorg · 09-28-2015, 05:19 PM

How late is it though, before it's too late? While the top ten or so clubs are all so close in points, every weekend sees people either flung up the table or down it – case in point Leicester, whose first loss of the season saw them clatter from I think third down to seventh but only on goal difference with the potential to go right up to second next weekend.

However the further down the table you go and the more of a different story it becomes, I don't want to be a doomsayer or whatever but the divide seems impossible to catch up with already, especially for a struggling team. I don't think teams like Stoke or Chelsea have much concern but both Newcastle and Sunderland haven't had a win in seven games, how would you turn that around?

No wins from our first seven, same as last season and the Di Canio era. No miracles this season, we are gone. The club is run by a bunch of muppets IMO. No clue about football and it shows. We are a farce and every one can see it. We buy two centre halves and they are worse than the previous pair.

As for Palace, fancy them to have a top ten season. Plenty of pace and Like I said, you guys look a very positive outfit away from home as well.

We turned it around last two seasons from virtually identical situation. This time though, I can't see it.
