Rival watch

You've gotta say that this is a great come-back by the Toon.

 

Or not. 3-3. Pardew out!

 

...and there goes my jink!

Great fighting spirit from Palace. A deserved draw!

Not sure where that leaves Pardew, though?

LOL!

Harsh, but fair, I think.

 

Wow city beat at home by stoke!
Good to see united using the window so well...they ship out saha...who scores on his debut for palace as they draw 3 all
Nice to see qpr win...some of the stick harry was getting was a joke imo
Good to see fat sam return to form with another loss at home...3 on the trott in league and cup
Oh .... and we are top of the league for an extra 2hrs

 

The Toure "dive" that he got booked for late on was a blatant penalty, by the way, despite the protests of the commentator.
Nowhere near the ball and easily enough contact to be a foul.
Apparently Stoke should have had one too, though. Didn't see it.

 

Important win for him after a very bad week. Nice to see, especially as they had to leave Remy out as he's off to Chelsea.
I think that they ditched the 3-5-2 and went to more of a 4-4-1-1, which was sensible and closer to what they'd used in pre-season.
I wonder if van Gaal will catch on as quickly? Seems unlikely.

 

Poyet and Pardew out. What a strange sort of day with a good few goals scored. So where does that leave City? They put three past Liverpool but none past Stoke and I think I'm beginning to see why Pellegrini doesn't stay very long with his clubs. Hats off to Saints and Palace and a good win for Swansea. If Sunderland couldn't beat QPR then we should have no trouble next week.

 

Not so. Swansea are top now.

 

forgot bout swansea...they is 3 pts clear

 

Let's just win tomorrow, please Spurs.

 

Hey, lads! I've just come up with a great song for LOLdado!

It's based on the song that Saints' fans had for Delgado, their Ecuadorian misfit. That song went like this:-

Delgado!
Oh, oh!
He comes from Ecuador
He's gonna score and score!


Well, my version of it goes like this:

LOLdado!
Oh, oh!
He comes from sunny Spain
He'll never score again!

What do all reckon?

 

Right now I'd happily take a 0-0.

 

Costa and Fabregas combining to put Chelsea ahead at Goodison very early on. Balls.

 

2-0 already. Offside?

Naismith's called when a Chelsea player passes it to him, to compound the home fans' ill feelings towards the officials.

 

Chelsea

 

Chelsea? Offside? Never. I've seen teams come back from 2-0 down early on.

 

Cant see how a linesman can be blamed for getting such tight decision right...he gave benefit of doubt to attacking team which is what football needs imo.
Anyhow that was more than balanced out with tim howard getting away with deliberate hand ball out side the area
