Dark Munster

No Stoke player touched it, so the goals panel have awarded it as an own goal by the goal post.

^ This.

Ok, if Wednesday's game goes to penalties, who will be our 5 penalty takers?

Yes, indeed.

Maybe we haven't improved by 10 points again (hard to get to 25 points from 8 matches!) But after 8 matches last year we had 15 points and a gd of +5. Now we have 16 points and gd of +14. Still improving.

In the sense that he's being picked and not a complete disaster. Apart from the cross for the goal last night (which his previous efforts indicate was more luck than skill) I thought he was mediocre at best. And he didn't even reach mediocrity for England. I would have Nathan (and our CBs) over him any time.

So a hat trick for Owen Goal. Brenda will definitely try to swoop for him in January.

Yes, but that's football™.

Are you positive about that, Pete? Yes we have the same number of points from the 7 teams who were in the PL last season, but we are 3 points up against the weakest promoted team (QPR, who are also bottom) versus the bottom team last season (Cardiff).

I beat you to it.

Sporting Life prediction. Southampton 4 Stoke 0

In fairness Chambers hasn't gone downhill since he left. He's just as mediocre for the Arse as he was with us.

For £6m I'd buy Chambers back, as cover for Clyde.

Yes, but that's compensated by all his assists and goals. Oh ...

Liverpool -3 West ham +3 Sunderland +2 West Brom -2 QPR/Cardiff +3 Newcastle +0 Swansea +0 Spurs +0 I make that 3.5 points better. (Another 0.5 for goal difference )

As was the foul on Long, earlier. But I'm not seething about that. 8-0 helps, of course.

How come they didn't mention how many more assists and goals Bertrand has had in his 8 matches compared to Shaw in all of his matches for the Saints?

Annihileighted.

Yes, but they won 1-0 at Citeh. Still can't figure out how that happened.

This has 0-0 written all over it.

Maybe he meant it's like playing against two teams.

Now who does that remind me of?

Good job nobody told him that Sunderland didn't get 1.
