Sunderland are a nailed on relegation like we were last season. They look like an ever so slightly better us, they may get worse though when they eventually give in.

I think they look worse given how early it is in the season. They've got lots batterings in their future unless something changes drastically. And David Moyes. Fuck me

You will have to ask the ginger fellow more nicely than that if you want to engage in interlocking orifice possibilities.

Good point, it's easy to forget we weren't THAT bad at the start of the season we just plummeted off the face of the earth after the January debacle.

It's possible I'm going to ask a daft question here but why is there a bugler at the games today, and not Remembrance Day weekend? Am just watching the Spurs game. Am I missing something?

Because for some reason football clubs want to be seen to mark the occasion even though Remembrance Sunday isn't for another 2 or so weeks. I don't know about you but I go to football matches to watch a game of football, not a remembrance service.

We plummeted following the capitulation to Leicester losing 7 on the bounce we picked up slightly when Garde took over and then went completely to shit once it was clear Lerner, Fox et al had accepted our relegation after the Jan transfer window

Don't usually care about City winning or losing, but Pep beating Pulis so far is quite nice.

Classic Adama Traore stuff for Boro just now. Explosion of pace, runs in straight line, falls over.

A proper goal too. Big effing shot right into the bloody goal, nice stuff.

It's getting a bit nuts now. I completely accept and agree with it at the right time but what we they are going to do in the actual weekend? And how about next weekend?

Was a really nice goal.  Fair few empty seats at the Yawnthorns.

I see Huddersfield with their genius manager are doing well to hold Fulham to 3-0 at half time.
