    Signing two defenders from the team you beat 9-0 probably not the best idea?

    Brentford only surprising Prem fans not surprising anyone else.

    Palace, Brighton and Brentford all having good weekends.

    They didn't surprise me at all, I knew what they were like.

    It seems like a league game just days after a European game is a step too far for West Ham's squad.

    Dunno mate, as was said after the Leicester European game, why do these teams have big squads, if they are still going to make excuses. <whistle>

    A take from Greta's words, Prem managers are blah, blah, blah.

    Oh yeah, I forgot Leicester played in Europe this week. I think them and West Ham have clearly went above and beyond what their squads are capable of.

    Leicester starting to look like relegation fodder, it's a good job that teams such as Newcastle and Norwich are so bad.

    True. It only takes a couple of wins by one of those clubs and Leicester will be struggling to keep their head above water after that.

    Looks like Burnley Newcastle Norwich are the 3 to go.

    It could be any 3 from Burnley, Leicester, Norwich, Newcastle, Watford, Leeds and Southampton. A handful of points splits you all.

    Norwich is the biggest concern for me, I just wonder how many times a team can be allowed up, only to be automatically relegated again the next season, it's a fruitless exercise.

    You'd expect them to at least make an effort, such Brighton, Palace and Brentford have done, clubs of similar sizes.Even Sheffield United had a good first season in the Prem.

    Our fixtures have been kind and we're still without a win. I think we're going this time tbh

    Happy to give them time ... the back 4 of Bertrand, Soyuncu, Fofana and Pereira was just starting to look awesome before the Villareal forward ended Fofana's season ... takes time for defensive partnerships to fully gel ... we are very dangerous going forward ... just need to get the defensive base together ... it will happen ... hopefully soon.
