It’s like it’s never been away…
Only two games of major note, the early kick-off between the Spuds and Wolves, with the world wanting to know if the mighty Spuds can bounce back from their disappointing two points dropped from last weekend, and the last one on Monday, which has to be one of the most interesting 3rd games of the season ever. Can YooUtd make it 3 from 3? Will LiVARberoOol drop more points in the title race? Will Erik Ten Weeks become Erik Two Weeks?
Oh, and another Dodgy Money Derby on Sunday…

19th August 2022 at 11:43 am #197862Thankfully God punished romero retrospectively and he is out. Also heard wolves have had someone in to shave their players heads as safety precaution 😆

19th August 2022 at 3:29 pm #197868Nine,
Mike Dean has apologised for not referring it to Taylor.
He said “having spoken to friends and family that have hair, it has become clear to me that pulling someone to the ground by their hair is in fact violent conduct. I will strive to remember this lesson and apply it in every game moving forward”He also says family members who do have balls took the initiative to also advise him that a kick in the balls is violent conduct too, and so he has has promised to refer such incidents to on field ref in future also.

19th August 2022 at 3:44 pm #197870Lucky, I enjoyed Paul Merson’s assesment of the incident.
“Finally, the refereeing in the London derby last weekend simply wasn’t good enough,” he said in his latest Sportskeeda column. “A million ex-Premier League footballers are not working at the moment – put them in the VAR office! I know referees are trained to do their jobs, but they haven’t played the game and have been guilty of making several wrong decisions over the years.
“How can you let hair-pulling go because it isn’t specifically condemned in the rule book? There isn’t a rule that says you can’t shoot someone on the football pitch, but that doesn’t mean it’s allowed?” 🤣🤣🤣

19th August 2022 at 3:52 pm #197871Karma for Cuti?? LOL!!!! We’ve obviously all forgot about the “Barnet’s” stamp on Cuti in the first half that started that little ‘battle’ in the first place… I think I’m going to have a pull my “whine-like-a-little-bitch” card out the deck now and play it every 20 minutes… 🙂

19th August 2022 at 4:03 pm #197873It’s a really interesting game on Monday I can’t see a utd win but it’s not as though it would surprise me if they somehow did. Hopefully if the fans of the other teams on here get the results we want we can really sit back amd enjoy that one on Monday 👍

19th August 2022 at 4:11 pm #197875No disrespect to Utd, but they’re even more open than last season. So if we don’t get a result on Monday, we really do have a big problem. And with a lot of his time spent with the players so far coaching them his way, is Ten Hag really going to change and adapt a lot for the game?

19th August 2022 at 4:12 pm #197876I wonder how utd will play? Surely won’t set up as they did vs Brentford. Thoughts Ed? Who is your team? Martinez at DM possibly?

19th August 2022 at 4:14 pm #197877That’s what I’m wondering mikus, how will ten haag adapt for this one.

19th August 2022 at 4:20 pm #197878You’d think he will have to adapt to some extent Lucky after the first few games. But you’d imagine the bulk of his coaching so far has been to play like they have been, so to suddenly change all that is difficult and not ideal for the players. Maybe they won’t play at the back so often, so do they just defend more & play on the counter? Not ideal to re-adjust to that.

19th August 2022 at 4:26 pm #197879Chucky, the whole of the football world has confirmed Romero as the aggressor, the officials didn’t do their job that’s now been admitted and Spurs came away with a very fortunate point. Kay Serra Serra.
But of course we’re whining Chelsea always beat (Spurs 4 times last season) it’s a tradition!😊

19th August 2022 at 4:29 pm #197881The thing is mikus, to be fair to ten haag his squad isn’t balanced to play any way really effectively and so it must be difficult. You would think despite that a more conservative approach would be better especially against pool.
no one expects a utd win except nil though 😆 Is that a good sign for you or bad?

19th August 2022 at 4:31 pm #197882I think Monday’s game is unpredictable I can see United sneaking a win but I can also see Liverpool thumping them. Can’t call it.😊
Let’s hope it goes ahead and it’s not postponed due to the Anti Glazer protest.

19th August 2022 at 4:38 pm #197883Fair enough, Puppy, we’ll all agree that the agressive Cuti got away with a hair pull in the 95th minute and ignore the blantent stamp in the 9th minute by the innocent haircut… that’s fine with me!! We’ll play along with the poor little team-that-can’t-be-named deflective narrative.

19th August 2022 at 4:57 pm #197884Chucky. trying to claim some sort of justification for the hair pull incident doesn’t reflect well on you.
When something like the hair pull incident happens as fans I think we all have to admit our player was in the wrong and there is no justification just like the Suarez biting incidents. Let’s leave it there.

19th August 2022 at 4:58 pm #197885Lucky, yeah reports suggesting Martinez has been trialled at DM this week although other reports suggested Varane coming in for Maguire and partnering Martinez. Don’t think it matters how we set up in this one to be honest 😄. I resigned myself to the fact it would be 3 games, 3 losses from the first goal going in against Brentford. Already looking at Southampton next week.
