Football

and what a goal that was by jhon duran to give villa the lead

He’s an absolute hitter.

As for Everton…

Is that 3 goals now this season as a sub?

it is, I believe he's only second to Haaland in terms of goals per minute. He's been phenomenal so far this season.

Pound for pound, Bournemouth look brilliant for the money this season. Shading Chelsea today and should have beat Newcastle a couple of weeks ago.

A lot of spice in this game as well. 10 on field bookings with 25 minutes to go. Both managers also in the book.

…and I cursed them.

God bless you, Sir.

Seen two draws in a row for Ipswich in the last two games.

But 0-0 away at Brighton is much better than 0-0 away at Stoke last season, which is much better than 0-0 away at Bristol Rovers the year before.

Football is great.

10 hours in the car for uni drop off very much lifted by the Villa performance. Unai masterclass to lull the toffees into their vulnerable place by giving them the 2 goals.
Duran is a baller. Superb goal.

disappointing game today, was expecting a continuation of the perfect start but got that horrible performance

I know you won the league by September 1st but the better team won today.

chances and possession were well in liverpools favour in that first half. i don't think you had a shot on target. we just didn't do anything up front, wayward and mistimed passes were the order of the day.
you came back in the 2nd half. we didn't improve and when we went to 1 at the back chasing the game in the last 15 - 20 mins we looked all over the place, disjointed, heads went down and we didn't look like scoring

a draw would have been fairer !

From Sky's youtube highlights, it looked like Liverpool had a few chances and Forest had two on the counter, one being the goal.

One day the realisation will come to you like some Damascene moment, that football matches are won by goals scored, not chances created or percentage of possession.

Especially as he was almost sold, twice, I'm the summer

Football is great.

Yeah, I take issue with this point.

Boro gearing up for a slightly disappointing seasoned again.

i'm not denying that, i'm just arguing against the point that forest were the better team. liverpool were the better team, when they weren't being kicked up in the air, yates had mac allister on the floor about 4 times in the first 20 mins. but we conceded a goal and therefore lost. we've all seen the better team on the day lose, this was one of those examples !

Behave

Slot out

we should have pushed harder for xabi alons ..... oh they've already lost one this season, alonso out

when they weren't being kicked up in the air, yates had mac allister on the floor about 4 times in the first 20 mins.

I suppose we're just meant to roll over and lose. Mac Allister is a whiny little shit who is easy to rile and his game fell apart. Everyone knows how Yates plays and he fell for it. Nuno had a game plan and the players executed it to perfection and Slot and his players had no answer. That's the story of the game.

Benfica - Santa Clara last night. The Estadio Da Luz really is an impressive stadium, the only downside was no beers in the ground. Was expecting Benfica to be better than they were despite winning 4-1 but Di Maria has still got it.

Nice to beat dirty Leeds. For all the pundits creaming themselves over them and some ludicrous bookies odds they didn't look anything special.

Hannibal confirming he's going to be a bit of a cunt (in a good way)

I remember Klopp being put out when anyone had the temerity to tackle a Liverpool player so you can't expect much to change.
