    I hadn't seen any of our pre-season but had hoped for top half....those expectations were short lived today.

    I expected Sunderland to drop points today, Ipswich will be promotion chasing alongside them. Oxford have had a good start, drew away to Sunderland and now beat Posh at home, never expected them to get off to a flying start. Also a decent result for Lincoln at Rotherham.

    oh, it had been coming for a while, only been one team in it in the last 30mins, and Villa have gassed themselves.

    Could be a competitive league this year.

    Blackpool 2 from 2 as well.

    Some teams in this league you wouldn't imagined a few years ago would be there - Pompey, Sunderland, Ipswich, Bolton, Coventry.

    I'm hoping for automatic promotion but expecting play offs.

  8. JChesterUnited: Spurs incredibly lucky, foul in the build up and a series of huge deflections giving Kane a tap in.

    You can’t defend that deep against a side like Spuds for an hour and expect to hang on.

    Daft tactics from Villa after a bright start.

    You make your own luck, that much pressure usually produces a goal sooner or later.

    They made hard work of a ****e team but job done in the end by Spurs.

  11. Anthony: That’s why I love Harry Kane, he makes things look so easy, you’d always back him in those positions... WORLD CLASS.

    Spurs given the win by poor ref.

    Hopefully they won't cheat next week.

  20. Well, that game proved that we need to keep Rose, Alderwiereld and Eriksen.
