As Jamie Vardy has shown, everyone forgets what a horrendous person you are if you bang in a few goals

Have to say I didn't enjoy the Olympic stadium. Just a personal thing, but I prefer the older grounds and this history and atmospheres associated with them. You can tell that it was not built as a football stadium. It had the feel of a theme park going up to the ground, and inside ithe was...

He ripped West Ham a new arsehole last year so imagine he'll get a start on Sunday.

We now have two Cook's, two Smith's and two Wilson's. Leicester had better watch out that Andy King isn't next on our list...

We matched them until that frankly ridiculous error, it was a decent, if unspectacular, first half performance. But we're Bournemouth, and we elope gifting soft goals. We did that twice and it killed the game. A late flurry with the Smith goal gave a few positives but it's a shame we gave...

Really think Newcastles players, managers and fans underestimated the Championship. They'll likely come good with the quality they have but good to see teams like Huddersfield go there and beat them.

Claudio out!

Excellent stuff from Hull. Have to credit their performance thus far. Leicester's ball retention has been woeful

Giving this a watch this afternoon. Enough to get me excited and maybe even a bit optimistic about Sunday:

Last year's win over United was hugely satisfying and one I'll never forget. Sits just behind last years win over Mourinho in my season highlights. Would love Eddie to beat him again of course, but I really really can't see it. We have one (yes one!) recognised centre back currently so Zlatan...

I did get the feeling Newcastle fans and the media (in particular) had been underestimating the Championship; there was even talk of going unbeaten. There's a reason so many big sides have been stuck there for years, it's a tough, tough league (And I'd argue the most exciting). They'll of...

As the first league visitors we'll find out next week, but I'm expecting a similar view to the old Withdean:

I don't like this relatively new thing of Premier League clubs playing each other in pre-season. Don't know why I don't like it, I just don't. Anyway, I didn't go but our 1-1 with Valencia sounded a very good performance, Gradel in particular turned into a bit of a tormenter of their defence by...

Better, more real atmosphere at Brentford than Chelsea/Spurs anyway

One of the most ridiculous parts about it is this: So the B teams can use their stockpile of players; but God forbid the lower league savages try and develop their own youngsters?

What an utter calamity of a concept. Hope it dies on its arse and: a) Nobody goes b) The B teams get absolutely smashed.

I've actually long-thought a winter break in early January would be a good idea.... But sadly now it would be used to cram a few games in Shanghai or the US by the big 6/7. Would give the rest of us a decent rest though, can't see the likes of Bournemouth and Watford jetting off to Asia in January.

Tell that to Remi Garde. He'll probably never get another gig in England again; and I certainly don't think he can be blamed for how garbage Villa were last year (Albeit he didn't help matters).

To be fair this is one of probably 3 threads that hasn't turned into a Man Utd-Liverpool willy-waving contest. Yet.

Our continuously shit ticketing system has died yet again meaning there are no online sales for the first game against Man Utd and people are having to queue or call (Where there are two staff answering phones). It's beautifully tinpot, but glad I'm not sitting in that queue on a premium-line...
