Jesus wept. 1-0 City

Sure just let the ball bounce in your own box. Fucking useless ,I honestly hope they go down.

Terrible idea though it is - preferring United in the top 4 (never for me - want them relegated, finished,washed up) ahead of the Arse or the Spuds is muddying the waters here.. - the real point has been lost I feel.

I guess the point was also very much about competing with the London clubs in a post Klopp world. Let’s be honest here, we were very much playing second fiddle to both Arsenal and Spurs as well as Chelsea. Modric, William, Eriksen, Sanchez, Salah. For first choice targets.

Does anyone believe that Virgil, Alisson or Fabinho or Salah at the second time of asking - come here without Klopp..?

It didn’t take long for Newcastle to shit the bed.

I can’t understand why this game is televised rather than the other 2 pm kick-off.

0-2 cracking goal by a cracking player. Cancelo

[southernboy]

It was an absolutely brilliant strike, but the defending was woeful. Both defenders literally I got out of the way to allow the shot. It was like the parting of the red Sea.

That has to be a penalty against Ederson. He comes out and clatters the Newcastle player and VAR doesn't even check.

"Chelsea say a request to postpone Sunday's Premier League game at Wolves was rejected"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59719428

Bit surprised Chelsea needed to possibly postpone game, considering the size of their squad - 170+ players on their books isn't it?
Man City showing their strength in depth during the pandemic - they've so many expensive players they can afford to rest a full starting eleven and not be affected.

I've switched over to the Chelsea match. And lime us they're finding Wolves a tough nut to crack.
