Leicester are in danger of dropping their first points of the season. Fournalls has just added a second goal for West Ham, Michail Antonio having put them in front on 14 minutes.
Southampton and WBA are locked in a 0-0 draw right now.
Into stoppage time now in the first half. Leicester look a bit stunned.
Back on for the second half at Filbert Street. West Ham to their credit are still attacking, going for #3.
Leicester are starting to get frustrated, Jonny Evans diving in on Antonio and picking up a yellow card.
Oh - another great attacking move by West Ham leads to Fournalls having a shot blocked.
Leicester looks really out of sorts today - I wonder what happened to them this week?
Ayoze Perez coming off and Ihenacho coming on. Perez didn't have a sniff today.
Oh - Declan Rice rattles the woodwork now - so close to a third goal for the Hammers.
Good Morning, Bob. I've been watching since around the time you posted the thread. Surprised that the Foxes are being hammered.
Alpha Romeu has driven the Saints two up vs the Baggies. No surprises there
Foxes win a corner off of Cresswell
Coufal booked on his Hammers debut for a shirt pull on Harvey Barnes.
Foxes debutant , Under, should have been booked moments earlier for a horrible dive in the box,.
Antonio flagged offside as he was through and shot right at Kasper
Oh - Antonio bursts through on goal but Kasper does well to stand up Might have been offside on VAR review.
Morning, David - great to have you on board for the matches this morning.
GOAL !!! JARRED BOWEN PUTS THE HAMMERS THREE UP ON THE BREAK
GOAL! Bowen streaks through and kills off the match 0-3 Happy Hammers!
Declan Rice was just outside his box and passed left to Fornals and his long slide rules pass found Jarred Bowen , who got behind the Foxes defense and he finished well past the stranded Kasper
Thanks, Bob. Great to be accompany everyone on the LOB
Antonio and Bowen, two of the goalscorers, come off - they've done their bit today.
Double Hammers substitution. Haller for Antonio and Mark Noble for Jarred Bowen. Both pretty much like for like
Foxes make a change and like for like as Choudry on for Mendy. Don't see the point of that so late on and three down. Brendan Should have made some earlier attacking changes
OH! Vardy through on goal and shoots wide with just Flappy to beat
Vardy has a chance to get a consolation goal - gets it all wrong and kicks the hoarding in frustration.
A trio of stoppage time minutes
GOAL! Leicester do get their consolation goal through Harvey Barnes!
1-3!
GOAL !!!! HARVEY BARNES SCORES A CONSOLATION FOR THE FOXES. NICE ONE TOUCH PASSING FROM THE FOXES INVOLVING JAMES JUSTIN AND IHENACHO AND ENDED WITH A ONE TWO BETWEEN BARNES AND VARDY. VAR CHECKING FOR OFFSIDE
The goal is disallowed on the VAR check - offside.
Just to ruin the Foxes day, the goal has been disallowed for offside by the half an arm
The Saints have defeated the Baggies 2-0
The Hammers end up with an excellent 0-3 win at the KP
Typical of NBC that they televise a stupid car auction instead of a Prem match for the noon kickoff. No pre game show on NBCSN five minutes from kickoff
Peacock with the players in the tunnel at Molineaux
U.S. international, Antonee Robinson makes his debut for the Cottagers playing at right back
NBCSN not at Molineaux until seconds before kickoff. Now underway
Gunners vs Evil Blades start delayed due to a moment of silence for a police officer shot in Croydon
Now underway at the EM
Moring Boys
I am here with both matches in view
The Evil Mint Green Blades win a corner
Good morning, Dave. I'm watching both matches too.
Two U.S. internationals in the Cottagers back four. Tim Ream and the other is Antonee Robinson making his Prem debut
John Lundtsram fouls Saka. Great positionto chip in a free kick
I can't believe United have done almost nothing in the transfer window!
Why didn't they buy Ake?
Why didn't they buy ANYONE they are interested in?
If they don't get a center back.... I would move McTom back into that position. I feel that he could be a success
The Bees take the lead vs PNE and are up to 7th place
Burnley, West Brom, Fulham and Sheff Utd all with no points so far this season.... well the Cottagers and Blades have a point in a live table but I don't think that will last
I agree. all we can do is hope they sign someone by 6 PM tomorrow, but that's not very likely
I agree . Also, the Blades are the only Prem team yet to score a goal. That may last
I'm surprised that the Cottagers have dominated the early stages of the match at Molineaux and that Wolves look so flat and disinterested
Celtic won 0-2 at St. Johnny thanks to two really late goals
I'll likely be in and out of this one, mate, as I get going on this Sunday morning. I'm mostly interested in the United v. Spurs match today.
Same here.
OH! Wolves nearly take the lead. Cottagers faffing about at the back and Arriola makes a nice double save from Pedro Neto and Samedo. First real chance for either team
Everyone says that United vs Spurs is the big match of the day, but Villa vs :Liverpool is too.
Wolves starting to dominate and a header from Raul Jimenez is just over
Poor clearance from Ramsdale, but makes it for it by tipping over a long range effort from Aubama
Nasty challenge by Sandy Burger on Aubama . I've seen red given for those
0-0 at half-time between Wolves and Fulham. The Cottagers may be on track for their first point this season.
Happy to see that the Baggies lost another one this morning. They're stuck on one point from four matches now.
Arsenal also being held by the Blades at the Emirates. Hoping that they can dull that edge and pull out the big guns in the second half.
Bees two up vs PNE
Just wide by Ruben Neves from just outside the box
The sun is out in the West Midlands after several days of rain in England. Still rainy in London
Pass from Ceballos just too long for Aubama who could have given the Gunners the lead
Wolves nearly took the lead. Long ball from the back found Raul Jimenez who forced a kick save from Arriola
GOAL !!!PEDRO NETO GIVES WOLVES THE LEAD WITH A WELL PLACED FINISH
Typically poor defending from the Cottagers a cross into the box was poorly cleared , Dendoncker had a shot blocked then Pedro Neto had a shot from the edge of the box land in the corner of the goal
Cottagers back to the bottom of the table with Wolves up to 12th
Like for like as Pepe is on for Eddie
PNE pulls it back to 2-1 at the Bees
GOAL !!!SAKAK HEADS THE GUNNERS INTO THE LEAD. NICE ONE TOUCH PASSING
Nice one touch passing involving Willian and Pepe with a slide rule pass to Bellerin who chipped in a nice cross for Ska a who scored with a far post free header from a couple of yards out
Evil Blades now second from bottom behind Burnley on goals because they have scored NONE!
GOAL !!!PWEPE PUTS THE GUNNERS TWO UP WITH A FINISH OFF THE INSIDE OF THE POST
Pepe played a one two with Bellerin then went on a solo run finishing past the on rushing Ramsdale off the inside of the post
Evil Blades now second from bottom behind Burnley on goal difference while the Gunners are fourth behind Liverpool and the Foxes on goal difference
ONE have come from two down at the half to make it Desmond at the Bees. Scott Sinclair with both PNE goals. Ivan Toney with both of the Bees goals
Nice Cottagers break off a Wolves free kick. Mitrovic puts through Kamara and with just Rui Patricio to beat side foots a tame shot straight to him
PNE have come from two down at the half to lead 2-3 at the Bees
Rangers one up vs Ross County
Lovely - both of these matches are going exactly as I had hoped. Burnley, Sheffield United and Fulham are stuck in the bottom three now, with WBA hovering above them.
RUDDY NORAH! PNE lead 2-4 at the Bees after being two down at the half
Welcome back, Bob. Evil Blades down where they belong?
GOAL !!! DAVID MCGOALRICK . HE GOT A PASS FROM SAM BALDOCK THEN CURLED A SHOT IN THE CORNER FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX FOR THE EVIL BLADES FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON TO CUT THE DEFICIT TO 2-1
Evil Blades still second from bottom , but now behind Burnley on goals scored
Neeskens Kebano anything but the great Neeskens with a shot from just outside box that lands in Row H
A Barber Shop quartet of stoppage time minutes at Molineaux
Also a Barber Shop Quartet of stoppage time minutes at the EM
It's over at Molineaux as Wolves defeat the rock bottom Cottagers 1-0
NBCSN off to the Em , so I have turned off Peacock until the end of the international break
It's over at the EM as the Gunners hold on to defeat the Evil Blades 2-1. Gunners now 4th and the Evil Blades second from bottom
I am back for the United Spurs match
Bummer that Son is back from injury!!
I fear that Spurs will rip United apart on the break when sitting back
United did do something in the transfer window
Dalot is off to AC Milan on loan
Sky Sports say United are finalizing deal for Porto full back Alex Telles
PNE record their first win of the season which is an unlikely 2-4 win at the Bees

Welcome back, Dave. We need a win to move up the table and it would be nice to stick it to Jose
I'd prefer McTom instead of Magic
VDB must be upset by the lack of playing time
Hoping that Spurs will be tired from their congested fixture schedule. I know Jose rotated the squad, but any little bit of hope helps
From the Beeb
Sheffield United have lost seven consecutive league matches for only the second time in their history, with their other seven-game losing run coming between August and September 1975.
I think the Blades were relegated that season finishing rock bottom. The same this season?
I think our United defeated the Blades 5-1 at OT on their return to the top flight . Was that their first match in the top flight on their return to the top flight?
I just saw my seat!!
WOW ! You had a fantastic experience
I'm fresh from the shower and squeaky clean and ready for this one. It's another big one and I'm hoping for goals. Come on, you Red Devils!
The Brummies take the lead at the Potters and are now in seventh place
Welcome back, Bob. We can use your support today
I want my United to play like Bob's United
EXCITING!!!
ATTACKING!!
FAST!!!
ENTERTAINING!!
Wahay! Teams coming out of the tunnel at OT now.
Out comes Spurs alone
Why bother line up
Here comes the good guys
Bob's United have set the standard for entertainment
Cheers, mate - I appreciate the shout-out for Leeds. It's going to be hard for United to play that way because United fans expect to win everything. We don't expect to win anything, so we play without a care in the world, like a bunch of kids having a kick about.
And NBC going to split screen commercial
Some are saying Cavani is a desperation move
I don't think it is that bad. No fee... another option!
Put him in Martial's place and he'll be in the box!
Leeds play the way United used to play
FRONT FOOT
And we are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
They're off from OT.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
And we're underway. I'd love to see United hammer Spurs today. Give Mourinho the welcome back he deserves.
I want United to get the ball forward quickly and often!
GORDON BENNET
UNITED HAVE A PENALTY!!!!!!
Wow! Martial goes down and it's an early, early penalty for United!
WOW ! PENALTY UNITED IN THE FIRST MINUTE DO TO AN ILLEGAL KARATE CHOP FROM DAVINSON SANCHEZ
There was contact as they love to say.....It's given!!
Bruno steps up....ONE NIL!!!!!!
Bruno to take....
A little hop and scores!
1-0 United!
NOW ATTACK MORE and SCORE MORE
WAY HAY! BRUNO GIVES UNITED THE LEAD FROM THE SPOT SENDING LLORIS THE WRONG WAY. DON'T LIKE THE STUTTER STEP BUT WILL TAKE THE LEAD
Penalty was in the 30th second!
Will United sit back...they better not!
Nice. 1-0 in less than 3 minutes. And finally, finally, we get a view of that tiny irritant looking pouty. Pour it on United.
Bruno scored a spot kick in the tenth minute of stoppage time last weekend and in the second minute today.
DAMN ! SPURS TIE IT UP ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
I hope they do Steve.... but alas I don't think we will. We are not ruthless enough
And there is the equalizer
BUGGER
Terrible defending
What the hell was Maguire thinking!!
Bloody hell - Spurs have scored after a defensive mistake by Maguire. Ndombele with the strike.
1-1!
What a start to this one!
What was Shaw doing too.... why is trying to turn....just kick it out!
Welcome, Steve!
Go on, United - get it back. There are definitely some goals in this one!
Both Maguire and Shaw... absolutely pathetic
Greenwood tries one from the top of the box. Smothered by Llores.
Based on that goal and some scored against this early in he season we need to sign some central defenders . Off a routine throw, a poor back header from Maguire , then that Shaw was a joke of an attempted clearance before N'Dummy scored a gift of an equalizer making United look like a bunch of dummies
Any high school defenders would be embarrassed with that defending
Good grief! Maguire again with a defensive nightmare. Maybe that Greek bullshit is still in his head? I can't believe how error prone he's been since then.
C'mon United, bury these chumps.
BLOODY HELL!
Untied are down 2-1
Chrissakes
Bloody hell - Sonaldo has scored now! 1-2!
Sorry, chaps - but what a thriller so far!
BLOODY HELL! NUMBER ONE SOIN GIVES THE SPUDS A 1-2 LEAD
HORRIBLE DEFENDING AGAIN!
United fell asleep at a quick free kick as Harry Kane and Abel to extend his league lead in assists found Number One Son behind the sleeping United defense and scored with a finish off the inside of the post with just De Gea to beat
Not a good pass by Martial....very lazy!
Had a chance for an easy pass to Shaw... but he screws it up
It definitely seems as if there are more goals scored during pandemic shut-down, almost as if the presence of the crowds make the players more nervous and cautious.
Good Morning Steve. I agree that Maguire must still be thinking of Greece. I would have dropped , but Olly is not exactly a disciplinarian
I think Bruno has been pretty useless this season apart from the spot
He can't seem to make a pass....like his teammates
Agreed about that being worse than high school defending. I was a journeyman at best , but made one of those mistakes a season, which is understandable because I was playing at high school level, not in the Prem
Shaw is penalized and Spurs have a chance to chip a free kick in now.
Lamela fires one into the wall.
United break...useless pass by Matic
From the Beeb
This is the first Premier League match to see three goals scored in the opening seven minutes since Burnley v Man City in April 2010.
Another piss poor pass by Matic
Also...it is the first time both sides scored inside 7 minutes since Nottingham Forest v Man Utd in Feb 1999
United won that match 8-1
United look more like the team that has played four matches in eight days than the Spuds
Pogba continues to lose the ball in the midfield.
He thinks he's got more skill then he does
Hope United don't lose 8-1 today. Forest haven't been in the Prem since that season
Untied have been toothless so far
How can you not be positive after scoring inside a minute
Nick Powell tie sit up for the Potters vs the Brummies. He was supposed to be the next Pogba or Bruno
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL!!
They just want to pass the ball and try to be too cute!
Lamela concedes a free kick about 25 yards from goal. Lamela booked for that
Lamela should have picked up a yellow there. United with a nice free kick chance.
Shaw takes free kick...at least it went into the box
Rangers two up vs Ross County
Bugger... Rash hits the post...offside anyway
OH! Off the post from Rash after he cut in. It didn't Mata because he was offside
I think he needs to have his legal team sort out the Greeks. There's no way that he should go to jail for a ruck with a group of plain clothes cops. It got out of hand because the Greeks are sensitive about police interactions with British holiday goers who've behaved badly. Now they're digging their heels in because he incident has become a referendum on Greek policing standards.
They should quietly assemble a convincing plea that involves a hefty fine that satisfies Greek egos, with absolutely no jail time, and no lasting consequences in case you draw Olympiakos or Panathanaikos.
If OGW can't summon the testicular fortitude to read Harry some clear home truths about his behavior and his footballing form, he needs to be put on the transfer list by the director of football. This can't go on.
United lost to Palace
United SHOULD have lost to Brighton
United losing to Spurs
What a wonderful start to the season!!
Shot from Bruno deflected straight to Lloris
No goal for 13 minutes...this game sucks!
End to end stuff now!
Useless again by Bruno.....lost the ball...he took too long
Spurs go to the end...United go 18 yards from the end
Oh - Greenwood with a shot flashed just past the post!
Decent effort from Greenwood
He's the only one that wants to shoot
Very well sated, Steve. That's a fair and perfect solution to the Greek debacle. Agreed about his United status and I would like to add to drop him from the England setup. It sends a clear message to others and why be in a nightclub during a pandemic?
What's going on with Pogba's arm?
Now...United just passing it around....going no where
I knew it...the ball would never get in the box
I also blame OGS. If he was more of a disciplinarian players would be less comfortable with that type of behavior
Struth.... Son should have scored another!!
Oh - Sonaldo was in again there but lost control. Are the defenders on strike today? In any case, I'm loving it!
I thought Spurs and Number One Son would get another goal. United all at sea at the back . Thankfully Number One Son mis controlled the ball
Serge Aurier with a powerful near post effort beaten away by De Gea.
Spurs look like scoring every time they go forward!!
Kane wide open in the middle...turned... found a man wide on the right
Spurs almost score again!!
David, I agree. Maguire is responsible for the circumstances he put himself into. He's likely signed that he'll not engage pub-league games, or motorcycle riding, or hang gliding so why not activities like nightclubbing in a pandemic?
Then a near post cross beaten away by De Gea then cleared for a Spurs corner
EVERY TIME.... Spurs could have score another two!!!
Mad scramble in the United box now - somehow they survive. I agree with Lee Dixon - this could already be a cricket score.
This is mayhem in your box at the moment.
What's this? It's a red card but for who?
OMG.... United are now down to ten men!!!
Who is it to?
Is it Martial?
VAR is going to look
Both hit each other
Lamela is pathetic to go down like that
Lamela should get a yellow for that
Then it gets worse as a United player is sent off . Not sure who it was. First they said De Gea. Now it's the Kung Fu Kid who catches Lamela in the face
Looks like it's Martial. Lamela and Martial were having a strop but Lamela has gone down trying to get Martial sent off. Shameful behavior from the Spurs man. That deserves a ban.
Lamela elbowed too
Chrissakes. Martial slaps Lamela, and he's off. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
