just shameful that Villa and Brentford both play far more creative, entertaining football than we do

Watched Fulham against Leeds.
I wish we had William now - probably would have saved Potter's skin.

Liverpool zoomed away and left us behind...6 behind 4th with a game more..hmmm

It doesn't matter how bad your defence is most of the time when you have attackers that can score, one of whom is among the best in the world.

Exactly. If Newcastle falter they're right behind them...which wouldn't surprise me as was written off for 4th last year and go there.

Must be nice to score...mean they've conceded 2 and scored 3..what even is 3 goals?! Such a rarity

it did not count, but jesus fucking christ, what a goal by Håland

[LAM09 6,844]

Haaland replaced as City's PK taker? That's certainly one thing City don't have going for them.

I can't see Newcastle dropping down tbh. More chance of United with their injuries & recent form.

I would be fuming if I was him, as that pretty much fucks him going for the English top flight single season scoring record (Dixie Dean's 63 goals all comps, 60 (untouchable, the next highest ever in a major (top 10) European league is Messi on 50 in 2011-12) of those in the league, in 1927-28)

Pep doesn't hang around. Mahrez might have scored today, but I'm shocked he's back to the front of the queue considering his PK record.

AFCON 2022 and West Ham away last season come to mind.

Geordies 3-0 up

[LAM09 6,844]

That's humiliating.  

[DDA 9,731]

5-0 in 25minuted loool

[DH1988 1,332]

Kane may well be considering follow Poch.

21 minutes to be precise. That surely has to be a PL record?

Edit: Second-earliest. City did it even quicker against Watford in 2019.

And I thought our players didn’t give a toss, nice to know I can always take solace in the fact Spurs will Spurs.
