Good Morning Everyone. Just woke up a few minutes into the match and see that Citeh took a really early lead
It was Jack Grealish 52 seconds in off a cross from KDB. Nice finish
Kdb played a nice one two with Phil Foden
Pedro Neto forces a nice near post save from Ederson
Morning, David - I was just easing myself into my favorite easy chair when Haaland struck the second goal. Citeh already 0-2 up inside 15 minutes. Cor!
Wolves are poor this season and they could be on the end of a right hiding here. Citeh look in the mood.
GOAL ! HAALAND PUTS CITEH TWO UP. IT STARTED WITH A PASS FROM EDERSON THEN SEVERAL PASSES LATER WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S FOUND HAALAND AND NOT THE CLEANEST OF STRIKES BUT SA BEAT JOSE IN THE WOLVES GOAL FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX
Good Morning, Bob. I was pouring some coffee when the second goal was scored.How has your week been?
Citeh now top . Gunners need to win tomorrow to stay top heading into the international break
Wolves two points above the drop zone in sweet sixteenth place
Yesterday vVilla defeated Saints 1-0 while the Cottagers won 2-3 at Forest
Rodri Sa didn't score as he shot straight at Jose from the spot that Haaland scored
Wolves trying to dig themselves out of a hole here. Neves with a free kick - well over the mark.
Pedro Neto fouled just outside the box by new signing, Akanji
Yes definitely well over. Wolves best chance was right after Citeh scored the first goal when Pedro Neto forced a near post save from Ederson
I have to admit that the Haaland Show is rather fun to watch these days. How many will he score? You've got to tune in to find out. So far it's 14 in his first ten matches, 11 of those in the Premier League.
Grealish has an effort over the mark. Leaning back the whole time.
Glad you had a good week. Hope this weekend proves to be at least a little restful . It will be fun for Kate's parents to visit everyone. I think her stepmom visited a few weeks ago if my memory serves me well.
Correct, Bob. You're quite the Statto. A shame he won't be in the WC
I saw those results from yesterday. It reinforced in my mind that Forest are in real trouble. But I'm surprised that Soton are this bad.
The Bees vs Gunners is an early 7 am match tomorrow followed by a return to Goodison Park for Moyes as the Toffees host the Hammers in a relegation six pointer at 9:15 then that's it for Prem footie for a fortnight
Yes, Phoebe was here for the first two weeks of the semester to help out. But we've eased into a decent routine. Both of us have had a chance to take care of the M&Ms for extended periods now.
LOL! I picked saints to go down so they're actually doing a tad too well. Agreed that Forest is in trouble , but it's so tight at the bottom that one tyor two good results can change that
Oh dear - Wolves are down to ten men as Collins goes in high on Grealish. Bad to worse for the Midlanders.
YIKES! It goes from bad to worse as Nathan Collins is sent off for a really nasty kick in the tummy to Jack Grealish. A really awful challenge
Now I wonder if it's going to be a cricket score
Grealish still down for treatment.
I will only be around for this match today . Elizabeth and I will be going to a Cherokee Indian exhibit in the town square. Should be around tomorrow, depending how late I sleep in
Since we last had a chance to chat during the weekend footie, the big change in the league has been Tommy Tuchel getting the sack and Graham Potter taking his place. What's your view on that move?
That's probably it for me, as well. Busy agenda today.
Wolves fans booing Grealish. He took hard one to the tummy. That's really poor from Wolves supporters
Oh - Podence runs onto a good ball from Neves and tries to beat Ederson at the near post. Just wide.
I agree on the sacking of Temperamental Teuton Tommy Tuchel, bout not with the hiring of Graham Harry Potter. He's done well with the Seagulls, but I don't think he's quite ready for the Chelsea job. They probably wanted an English manager. I don't see him lasting long . We will see after the international break
They're just frustrated about how poor their side have been this season.
Spuds will move up to second with a win vs the rick bottom Foxes in the late match. The Gunners need to win at the Bees to move back to top spot headed into the break
I'm sure the supporters are, but I think they will manage to stay up.They should be glad Forest and Foxes are so poor because that's two out of three spots taken
Into a trio of stoppage time minutes
Citeh two goals and a man up at the half. This one seems to be done and dusted
Time for walkies for Trooper
I'm back for the second half now, feeding Macy. I would be surprised if Citeh doesn't push for more goals now.
Back from talkies and Citeh still two up. Doesn't look like I missed much
Bob feeding M&M more than Wolves are their forwards.
BOOM BOOM!
Matty Nunez booked for a nasty foul on a Citeh break then Ruben Neves talks himself into the book. Ryan Ait Nouri could have been booked for a foul on KDB as well
Jose Sa did save well from Haaland off a run and pass from Jack Grealish then Phil Foden shot the rebound well over
GOAL ! EASY PEASY AS PHIL FODEN EASILY PUTS CITEH THREE UP
Haaland played a slide rule pass to KDB off a typically long Citeh possession . Then KDB passed to Foden at the far post , who back heeled in from a couple of yards out
After the minutes applause for QE II Pep makes a triple substitution
Citeh have been casual but still much too powerful or Wolves.
I notice that Pep goes to Cole Palmer when a match is wrapped up.
Welcome back, Bob. Dod you notice M&M playing for Wolves?Mashed & Mushed
I think our mate, Diego Costa signed for Wolves, but is out in injured. They will want to get him fit ASAP as they are currently short in that department
A trio of stoppage time minutes
It's over and Citeh comfortably win 0-3 at ten man Wolves without really getting into top geer
Very comfortable for Citeh. The scary thing is that Citeh barely got out of second gear and they still rolled Wolves 3-0.
Those Christian Pulisic adverts are a bit embarrassing given that he rarely gets a match for Chelsea. I wonder if Potter will fancy him more?
Next up is Newcastle v. Bournemouth. I'll likely be in and out of this one tending to the nippers.
Good grief. What a palaver they're putting on at St. James Park. You'd have thought MBS had snuffed it and the new Crown Prince had canceled their checking account.
That's for you UWS.
I'll only be here for another half hour because I have a commitment at a festival in Maryland to pull pints at a friend's brewery's stand. It really is the most fun you can have not drinking.
Hiya, Steve - I totally agree. Just stick in her in the ground and let's all get on with our lives. Good statement in the Guardian on that yesterday.
That sounds like a nice day out for you in Maryland - have fun with that one.
Hi Boys
I am here and there today
You guys are still plonkers
The Magpie keeper was in a bit of trouble until his physio showed him the bone-saws in his bag. Looks right as rain now.
It was the Bournemouth keeper...leave Pope alone!! He's my fantasy keeper
I had no interest in getting up early to watch City
BORING!
Morning, Dave - here's your social studies phrase for the morning: "All men are created equal." ;-)
I fully expect Newcastle to win this one. They're vastly improved under Eddie Howe. That said, when does the Saudi money start to elevate them into the top six?
Newcastle have failed to make the best of crosses...what a shocker...where is Coppell, Beckham and co?
I agree...Dahlgren brothers are both plonkers
Speaking of Beckham, did you see what he did?
It's quality humor that you're getting for free, you ingrate.
His performance mourning? So on-brand.
Everyone is up on Newcastle and down on Bournemouth....they have the same points! That is weird!
Well...losing 9-0, 4-0 and 3-0 doesn't help...but it was to Liverpool, City and Arsenal
Citeh are hardly boring this season. They've replaced the dreaded "False Number 9" with the best striker on the planet. I'm just curious to see how many he's going to score every time he plays.
Quality?
I don't care how many goals they score...they are still boring!
They keep the ball and pass !
Watching Arsenal is much better. They go forward and attack
There are time City have no shots and have the ball forever
I fully expect Bournemouth to be in the relegation battle.
I'll send you my Venmo because it's well overdue that you paid for it.
Haaland is amazing! How many will he score?
But it makes a difference to see them playing to an obvious target man - they're much more direct as a result.
I need some fantasy points from Toon players!
Well, if he stays fit, you could see him scoring 40 goals in the league, maybe 50+ overall. Jimmy Greaves territory.
I know what you are saying but I still find the passing of the ball so tedious!
Dixie Dean....60 League goals?
What is Venmo - I haven't a Scooby?
Agree about Citeh. At least Rodri got a booking for what the other refs let him get away with every. Single. Match.
And is Kal Phillips in witness protection? Bloody Pep. Kal should be on a short list for England's WC squad, not in danger of developing bench sores on his bum
That's harder because he's limited to 38 matches. Dixie had 40+ to work with.
It's like Paypal. Eric's clients sometimes send him payment for the dog sitting rather than cash or check.
Kal's is a sad situation. I think that he thought he was going to be used like Jack Grealish, in a regular rotation. But there is no shifting Rodri these days, so Kal has only been used in a couple of matches off the bench in the 80th minute when matters are wrapped up. He came on in stoppage time for Haaland against Dortmund the other night.
So, you have to give them your direct deposit information? I don't fancy that. But then I've never used Uber or Air B&B either. Behind the times.
Ah buggger! My friend had to make a last-minute cancellation of his beer tent so I'll be here to taunt you a second time, you silly English k-niggit.
I am back from a quick breakfast of "eggs in a basket"
Yum
Oh - Trippier with a nice striker that clipped the post. Neto might have got a touch too.
Norwich losing
Town winning
Big games in L1
Top four playing each other
Wed v Town
Pompey vs Argyle
"Eggs in a Basket?" Wot's that?
Glad to hear that Town are up on Not a Big Club.
What do you think of the England squad?
So many aren't playing!
I can't believe that Phillips went to City before the WC...he's played 10 minutes total!
You can. What we did instead was open a separate account with a minimum balance that all the Venmo money does into. Two gigs and Eric was able to put his seed money back into his savings. I'm with you. I haven't linked my Venmo to my checking account for similar fears.
Sorry to hear that the beer tent action is off, mate. That sounded like a nice one.
That makes more sense.
I haven't seen the England squad yet. Is Kal in it? I'd be surprised. He was injured most of last season and now he's not getting a match.
Back after doing some laundry
Shaw, Maguire and Phillps all in...none have played!!
5 Right Backs!
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale.
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Chilwell, Conor Coady, Eric Dier, Marc Guehi, Reece James, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Fikayo Tomori, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker.
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, James Ward-Prowse.
Forwards: Tammy Abraham, Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling, Ivan Toney.
Why wouldn't Ben White get a call up! Better than Mags and Shaw
Glad to see Toney get a chance
Makes no sense at all. Gareth would be better off bringing in some youngsters who are actually playing week in week out like Eze from Palace.
Sure, give Toney a go - I always want to see the hot striker in the league in the squad. That's why Patrick Bamford should have been in when he was scoring. Now he's made of biscuits.
He can never use...player has to be on form!
Wonder if Rashford would have been called up if he wasn't hurt? Is Sancho ever going to get a chance?
Of course, I think they both stink
Jarrod Bowen is right out of form for the Hammers.
I wouldn't pick either Sancho or Rashford.
Preston concede only their THIRD goal of the season....to top of the table Blades
Pompey take the lead!!1
Nice chatting with you, boys - I'm going to head for a shower as this one is going to half-time. The twins will be waking up from their morning nap before long.
I am off for a bit too
Getting cracked in the head was the first time I noticed that Isak was on the pitch. Not fussed at all that his agent was a bollix when Arsenal was in for him last year. And he's got the body of a stick-insect. I'd have Joseph Linton over him any day.
I bet Ben White will be on the plane. I've thought he looks like he could do with a rest already. He's still building his fitness for the slog of the league and the vase.
Back from a refreshing shower and I see that there wasn't a lot of action that I missed. Still 0-0.
Well, well, well - Billing has popped up to give the Cherries a shock lead!
Newcastle have a penalty! Isaak to take - and buries it!
1-1!
As this score stands, Newcastle will push Leeds into the bottom half, while Bournemouth are just below us.
This one seems to be drifting toward a draw. Disappointing for the Magpies who really should pushing toward the top six, in the way that Wolves, West Ham and Brighton have done in previous seasons.
Leeds old boy Chris Wood coming on for the last few minutes. He's a sad sight these days.
I am checking in as the late match about to start in North London..of course my NBC channel is still on the damn Vet show!
Come on already....get off the dogs and cats!!
FINALLY...looks like everyone at the stadium had to wait for us to finish at the vets!
Son is dropped for Spurs...is he just knackered?
Need Kane to get into goalscoring mode just in time for the WC
The Foxes get a penalty!!! Only into the third minute
Stupid to dive in there
VAR agrees....Teilemans to take....SAVED
VAR looking to see if Lloris left his line...it is to be retaken!
Penatly Take 2...ONE NIL FOXES
Goal....Kane equalizes sharpish!!
1-1 inside 8 minutes
Kane's 20th goal against Leicester
Leicester can't do a thing right this season!
Get a lead....lose it quickly
Equals Shearer's record for a player to score against a single side....Shearer scored 20 vs.....Leeds
Goal for Dier...gets an England call up and then scores
2-1 Spurs
Another corner and the ball is in the net again. OG...but a foul is called on the keeper
No idea why Leicester got rid of Kasper
Dodgy keeper now!
Daka with a a break...shoots early....it was Kaka
Breaking news....Leicester don't concede from a corner!!
Their fans cheer!!
Of course....they only didn't concede because it was a modern day corner and didn't beat the first man!
Not a bad match here
Leicester are trying give it a go
Desmond!!
Maddison with a nice goal
Spurs hit the bar!!
Free kick nodded on....not sure if it was saved
It was saved...nice one
Lloris makes a good save to keep out Maddison. Pretty much the last kick of the half
That is it
2-2 at HT
We are off for the second half
The Top Four in League 1 all played each other and everything stays the same
Both games ended Desmond
Wednesday came from two down at home to Town
Pompey took the lead but then equalized in the 94th minute
GOAL
Spurs retake the lead
Ndidi gives the ball away in the midfield...such stupid modern day crap
It took two minutes
Perisic coming off for Royal...negative move?
56th minute... Son about to come on
Leicester could and should have tied it up twice
Hiya, Dave - just checking in on this match. Better than I'd imagined.
Hi Bob,
It has been a good match
Give the twins a kiss and hug from me
Son.....GREAT GOAL!
He needed that one to get back on track!
Are Spurs realistic title contenders or merely flat track bullies?
BAM...pick that one out!
Sonaldo with a brace
First goal...top right corner with his right foot
Second goal...top left corner with his left foot
He still looks annoyed for being dropped
Leicester could be losing two games in a row 5-2....still early tho
Leicester are so wide open....Son hits the net again.... but the flag is up...VAR will look
Could be on...taking a look...come on...make a decision
It counts!!
HAT-TRICK BOY
Still no smile...he looks so annoyed
Took around 25030 minutes to score his hat-trick
Son has scored in the 73rd, 84th and 86th minutes
Spurs up to second. Still need another 6 goals to overtake City on GD
That is a lot of minutes I posted.....Of course I meant 25-30 not 25,030!!
This half has been awful for Leicester. Is Rodgers going to stay? Will they make a move during the international break?
Would he then go to Brighton?
Maddison goes close again but that is it
Spurs win 6-2...good for NBC to get a game from that
Take care boys
TTFN
Cheerio, Dave!
