McBurnie hurt himself by diving

 

... that's why the commentator called him "a very lucky boy" ... or maybe he just saw his list for Santa ...

 

worst striker in the league now after joelinton

 

Sheff U are the ultimate 2nd season syndrome.

 

the commentator? you putts

 

I'm still nervous that we'll **** this up.

 

they're causing some problems but I don't see them scoring

 

I can relax now. We're all Palace aren't we?

 

Good to see Southampton go 3rd. I want Spurs to win next and Fulham to at least try and get a draw against Liverpool. Would be funny if Burnley and Brighton both win away.

 

Sheffield Utd have not won in their last 15 Premier League games (this and last season) ...have lost 14 of them.

And I think this is the worst ever start to a season since 1991 when Sheffield United (weird coincidence) went 16 matches before winning.
They drew 5 of their opening 16 games.

 

They're absolutely dreadful. Fairly decent chance they beat Derby's record imo.

 

@Libby it took 85 mins 15 seconds today mate lol

 

Might get a game without it in January lol.

 

Some interesting comparisons with last season’s league table after 12 games.

Firstly, last year Norwich were rock bottom after 12 with 7 points. Makes Sheff U with 1 point look like they’re absolutely nailed on to go.

Also in the top half, at the minute, only 4 points separates top from 8th, this will probably be 7 by the end of the day, but still, last season that gap was 18 points!

Lastly, the gap from 4th to 10th was 10 points this time last year, it’s now 4.

 

Great performance against a poor side. Nice to have fans back too.

 

Hope you're enjoying the magic of the PL Libs. Bet its feeling great this year

 

Can't wait to spend 2 days travelling to Azerbaijan next September to see us lose 3-0 without a shot on target.

 

Tough game for Spurs this, another team who like to play without the ball and counter attack.
