Match Day Thread Todays Games

In case Norway is overworked to do the Match Day thread we can start here.....

2 early kick offs, a tasty local derby Blackburn v Burnley, my Burnley supporting mate has gone to the game, cost him £41 for the ticket which includes £8 for the coach, but still £33 for the match, who says it just the Premier League that is over priced? Burnley just gone 1 up.

Also Fulham v Reading who are currently 1 up....

As for The R's please win with a good performance otherwise there will be a total meltdown on here afterwards and we really don't need the hassle on a Saturday evening.....

 

Cheers Tramore. I am working on it though. You should be able to merge in about ten minutes

 

Henry for an injured Sandra is the only change from Tuesday. Polter on the Bench.

 

Fulham 2 Reading 2!

 

Fulham 3 Reading 2 after Reading were 2 0 up (for less than a minute)

 

FT 4-2 Fulham, great comeback, they've drawn level with us on 17 pts (based on our current 0-0).

I only just wish we could bang in 4 goals again, even if we concede 2.

 

I see Scotland thrashed the Irish in the Shinty Hurling match today - take that Swords!!

 

I see Hull and Burnley, both relegated with us last season, are on 25 points while were on 19.
Probably a good yard stick to where we are.

 

Both Hull and Burnley look like they will be there or there abouts

We have taken a point from Hull at Hull
Not many teams will do that IMO
But we have given wins to Forest and lost to Charlton

Plenty of time yet to get it right
And it's when you get it right that matters

 

To be honest, I actually don't think that's a good yard stick. Unlike those two teams we actually went into total meltdown last season and we have a virtually all new squad this season, plus we've lost our best striker to injury. Out of QPR, Hull and Burnley, QPR would be the hardest team to stabilise and turn around, in my opinion.

 

At least none of us some look like totally imploding this season, as was the case with Blackpool & Wigan, and almost Fulham.

 

Sunderland put 3 past Newcastle and the beeb refering to it as a "smash and grab".......

 

Wally looked like his nuts had been grabbed by Big Sam?

 

Sadly looks like Bournemouth are finding out first hand how unforgiving top flight football is. They went 1 up inside the first minute but have conceded 3 in the next 30 minutes.....A long winter beckons.

 

Bournemouth now conceded 5 for the 2nd game running......

 

I'm watching another boring Derby. United didn't have a shot 1st half, and City not one on target. And these are arguably England's best teams.

 

Sounds like the 0-0 scoreline does it justice.......

 

First bit of excitement came after 84 minutes when United hit the bar after a very good pass and volleyed shot.

 

It was hard going to watch, I was thinking of slapping some paint on the wall and watching that instead!
