We can’t surrender a lead if we never have a lead. Superb tactics by Hughes.

Positive is they haven’t really tested McCarthy yet. Yet.

Even by our standards this is dreadful.

We’re hanging on here

Good point, other than Ings it's the same team from last season. Our recruitment department really needs a radical change in direction, whatever's happening in the "black box" room, it's not working.

Gabbiadini playing is good, defence is interesting, would have Vest in there instead of Hoedt but we'll see

Residential

Good result for us in all honesty

Hand-delivered P45s for Les and Ralph?

As funny as it is to see United lose at home, bad news for us that Newcastle are winning.

Exactly, people conveniently forget that they're bankrolled by a Russian.

Luckily for them Peterborough also lost. I think on paper Sunderland and Barnsley have stronger squads, so hopefully it won't be too long before they drop down out of the promotion places, especially once the injuries/suspensions hit and their quality over quantity policy bites them on the arse.

Yeh they do have a tendency to bottle it against us, quite funny really considering it's their cup final.

4-0 now lol Watford are down to ten men though Our next opponents after the international break are Bournemouth

Hopefully he won't be anywhere near the team

Let's see if Mero decides to pop by next week if the scoreline remains the same...

Imagine the meltdown on here if we lost 4-0 at Burnley

In the league. We won three times against top six sides under Puel.

Fancy chucking something at him in the dugout?

If we are going to beat a top team, the best bet seems to be Man Utd or Arsenal. I think we drew at home to Tottenham last season you could add them too. Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are the top three at the moment, a lot trickier.

Climax

It's a knock on effect from the Spurs stadium not being ready and them not being able to use Wembley until the Monday of the previous week.

Was he drunk when he made those predictions?

We’ve gone from that amazing streak of consecutive home wins in one year to only winning once at home in seven years. Amazing how things have changed

I think it’s well known that Hoedt and VVD hated each other when they were here together. Hoedt maybe is one of those people who just doesn’t endear himself to others.
