Rachel Riley trending on twitter. Assume she's on Friday night football. She's not trending for the reason I thought. It's for people talking about tweets about her.

I don't dare paste them onto here....
 
Well, Liverpool hold on for a win!!!! The '5 Live' commentators seem impressed with their performance.
Edit - just seen this stat on the BBC website -
  • Since Jurgen Klopp took charge of his first game, Liverpool have scored 15 Premier League goals from outside the box, five more than any other side in that time.
I hope the NCFC players read that, as opposed to trying to 'walk it' into the net as CJ tried and failed miserably to do on Tuesday!!!

Well, looks like Cardiff are getting soundly beaten at home - hang on, weren't they 2-0 down with 5 minutes to go last Saturday????

I really like that Donaldson at Brum. I think he looks even better technically than Jerome. He could have been a good one to go for. I don't know whether he'd step up, players surprise you, eg. Holt, Lambert, Gray, Austin, Vardy. I think it would be worth potentially writing off a few million to get a player like him in for the second half of this season, to get us up. Powerful, technically strong, very respectable scoring record. He tore us to bits as well.

Wow. Newcastle and Barnsley lose at home. Nice!

Although Reading beat Barnsley. Reading look dangerous. Slowly scraping results. Like us. I think they are playoff prospects.

Shame Brighton got an 88 Minute Pen.
 
Just watching MOTD. Surely Boro's first goal is a foul on the keeper all day long? He had the ball in both hands? Usually you can't even touch a GK without a foul being given. Also, possibly a foul up the other end on the Keeper in the build up to the goal. I think that was a little less clear cut though.

Yes, some odd refereeing decisions yesterday, but I felt that some of the defending was comical and hence why they're were so many goals.
Citeh are looking pretty ominous and De Bruyne is almost unplayable at times - I'm definitely going down the Murderers to watch when they play Liverpool.

De Bruyne look out of this world at the moment. I really can't believe Chelsea never gave him a sniff.

Really pleased for Leicester and Slimani yesterday.

Is Liverpool City coming up soon? That should be a cracker.

Liverpool V ManUre 17th Oct
Liverpool V Citeh 31st Dec
 
A noon game and a 16.30 game for the 'benefit' of TV coverage later.
But two games kicking off at 14.15 p.m. today.?
Southampton fair dos, they were in Europa League action on Thursday, but why on earth Palace vs Stoke? :emoticon-0112-wonde
Edit: just checked the listings and for some odd reason the Palace game is live on Sky too.
Three back-to-back games televised on the same Sunday is surely overkill?

Also, pretty disappointing array of games today. Not excited by any of them.
