Yep, up to 2nd gear now... 4 more gears still to go... 🫣

[OttawaSaint]

How's that a yellow for AA?

You're not wrong, having that shot just before half time was probably the worst thing we could have done 😂

[Bad Wolf]

Almost another Ramsdale special but bailed out. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Lallana marking Haaland at corners ?

[sandwichsaint]

Ridiculous booking, penalty coming soon.

[Mr X]

A shot on target? 🤔😂

[obelisk]

What a dive.

[HKsaint]

We are lucky 

[Saint NL]

Manning with a poor tackle, but the city player was already on his way down 😂

Yep, started going down before the challenge 

[swingworkstheoracle]

Any sign of Paul?

[Saint NL]

No idea how they haven't scored there. 

 

[Bad Wolf]

Ipswich losing now. It'll be "McKenna out" soon enough no doubt from their fans.

By who. I'm sat at home.

[Saint NL]

Brentford winning 3-2 after being 2 down

[HKsaint]

We are losing by 7.3% now.  Do something 

[sandwichsaint]

Is this the quietest match thread ever? Watching in a bar in Morocco, last week they had 30 odd for Man U. Literally  two of us and an old man who is asleep. 
 

the bore fest has scared them off!

[Totton Saint]

It's gone quiet. Game abandoned?

[Saint NL]

Shocking offside from Armstrong

Armstrong doing a Shane Long there #inevitableoffside

I couldn't get excited for it today. Bore fest is right, it's just not fun.

Lallana about to be replaced by Aribo... Surely he can last more than 60 minutes in a pedestrian game like this...?

At least he must have been going forward!!

[Saint NL]

Lallana looked pissed off, now he's been booked I guess it's more a case of him not getting another yellow.

He didn’t make it past 60 minutes once last season, so no surprise he can’t do it when he’s one year older.

[Suhari]

Soeone needed to have a shot then. FFS.

[obelisk]

Have a shot FFS!!!!

Yeah, apart from scoring four goals and hitting the woodwork three times in his first 10 appearances in an absolute dogshite side, you mean

Hitting the woodwork three times isn't a particularly positive stat, he should've scored twice against Ipswich and United

Not particularly sure how anybody is impressed by a deflection vs Arsenal, tap-in v Leicester and some goals against Cardiff reserves

[HKsaint]

Talk Paul now 

[CanadaSaint]

So infuriating when even skilled players like Fernandes have to become mere pawns in the Grand Master’s plan.

[sandwichsaint]

Hospital pass from Beckanbaur to Aribo.

[Suhari]

Surely it's Tall time?

Why did we recruit him on the one hand and on the other let Stu A go?

[Sheaf Saint]

How did Haaland not score with that header?

[Suhari]

Wow. How slow was Manning then?!

[HKsaint]

Aribo lost possession twice. Good substitution

Manning getting roasted again.

Man City up to 3rd gear now

I think you've kippered yourself there. Why would anyone be impressed with 4 goals in 10 matches.

If this stays 1-0 Martin will think he’s Brian Clough.

Stuart was out of contract. We had no hold over him.

But we never offered him a new one.

Armstrong on for Dibling has weakened us.

Confirmed if he says "Joseph Aribo".
