    Just seen the Swansea sub bench and been reminded of Leroy Fer, forgot all about him. A hattrick for him being relegated with 3 different teams.

    It's going really well at St Andrew's for Swansea. Almost half time and the stats read -
    Shots Brum 13 on target 5, Swansea 0.
    Swansea will probably nick it 1-0 in the 85th minute!! <doh>

    Edit - From an interview with the man himself - '
    He has played just 63 minutes in the Premier League, making his debut at Manchester United last Friday, yet it already feels as if Leicester have found a new hero - an attacking midfielder who has piqued the interest of England manager Gareth Southgate.'

    Yeah, but how many of Swansea's 0 shots were on target! <laugh>

    Seriously, it won't be long before Madders gets his England call-up! <cheers>

    ¾ of the game gone and Swansea haven't had a shot on target. They've scraped a win in their previous games.
    Edit - they've now had 3 attempts at goal.
    Finished 0-0¬¬

    NOT according to the report of the game on the BBC website.
    IMO, this is going to be a VERY interesting season in the Championship!!!

    I don't think they're a poor team hence the quotes, just some on here said they are.

    It's OK, I was agreeing with you, so our draw there was a fair result.
    So both Welsh teams leave with only a point each.

    QPR have made our 4-3 loss to WBA look almost respectable

    Just seen this - Man of the match - James Maddison (Leicester)
    James Maddison appears a fantastic summer addition for Leicester. The former Norwich player was at the heart of all of their good play and a cool performance was capped off with a well-taken goal on his home debut. #nothingtoadd
    Yes, I know it was only Wolves, but he was Leicester's MotM last week as well. #bargainbuy

    Saw the Chelsea game live, Seeing it again on MOTD, reminding me.

    How the hell did it go from 2-0 to 2-2. That was insane, plus Arsenal missed 3 easy chances. Yet Chelsea deserved to be about 4 or 5-0 ahead. Arsenal pressed on and should have been ahead at HT!

    Then Chelsea switched it again, and deserved the win second half. It was such a strange game. But so enjoyable.

    I think we got a good price for him and I expect him to move again in a couple of years.
    I also think that Leicester was the perfect fit for him to showcase his talent
