Christy Ring 2 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:00:20 Still can't believe Chelsea signed Cucurella for 㿪M, after City offered 㿊M. Potter must still be laughing. Brian Murray 3 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:00:37 Ten Argh has ten days left. Dave Abrahams 4 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:00:49 Just seen the Man Utd score. I'll watch the second half, see if they can claw something back from this game. Michael Kenrick 5 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:02:48 Two rather nice first-half goals for Patrick Gross and Brighton away at Old Trafford. I enjoyed them! Will Mabon 6 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:07:04 I think we're currently better than Man Utd. Michael Kenrick 7 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:20:18 Tremendous block by Sanchez to stop Rashford from scoring off a great Ronaldo cross! Roger Helm 8 Posted 07/08/2022 at 15:27:31 Reminds me of the loyalty oaths campaigns in Catch-22. Dave Abrahams 9 Posted 07/08/2022 at 16:09:44 Man Utd didn't have a clue how to break down Brighton's determined defence. Not much of a game to watch. Yellow cards dished out for some minor offences with similar offences ignored, refs making their minds up to please themselves. Will Mabon 10 Posted 07/08/2022 at 16:31:35 So now let's see Davey's knife... Jeff Armstrong 11 Posted 07/08/2022 at 16:39:54 Guardiola is quite contrary sometimes, he was willing to let Ake go a few weeks ago, now he's picking him ahead of Stones, which is the opposite to what he's done previously. Michael Kenrick 12 Posted 07/08/2022 at 16:58:03 Now that's a scary Sky Specials stat:Successful passes after 25 mins:West Ham – 25Man City – 198!!!Get yer bloody knife out, Davey!!! Will Mabon 13 Posted 07/08/2022 at 17:13:45 Surprising, Michael - but then, a quarter of City's have been from pass tennis, bit OTT at times. Will Mabon 14 Posted 07/08/2022 at 17:45:33 So far I'd say City's balls/crosses into the box are lower standard than we showed yesterday. Michael Kenrick 15 Posted 07/08/2022 at 17:59:49 Hmmm... so that's what "pass and move" looks like! Will Mabon 16 Posted 07/08/2022 at 18:00:31 Pretty conclusive from Haaland. Not a lot you can do about that. Michael Kenrick 17 Posted 07/08/2022 at 18:29:43 We're off and running, and Everton sit proudly in 15th place in the first Premier League Table of the season, well out of the relegation zone and just 3 points behind Champions Manchester City.[Sorry, Danny, just couldn't resist!] Kieran Kinsella 18 Posted 07/08/2022 at 18:36:20 Haaland describing himself as “a bit shitâ€. Funny how different players (Beattie for example) rate themselves. Danny O’Neill 19 Posted 08/08/2022 at 20:06:57 Apologies for the delay. I'm on Texas time for the next couple of days. So expect random timings from me.Man Utd are suffering for wreckless overspending on lesser players in the transfer market for several years after Ferguson left and Moyes choked and froze at the big gig.God that all sounds familiar! But we seem to be fixing our situation. Ten Haag has got a similar job on his hands to what Lampard inherited, that's for sure.I'll take that, Michael. Even though I'm not looking at the table until December!!!
