Let them form their own super league, the sooner the better.

Who should play - Gabbiadini Who will play - Austin

Poor result though really, but sounds like they got out of jail. Lucky for them, all of the other teams below them drew too. I still think teams like Barnsley and Sunderland will be able to sustain their good form over a longer period, but they should finish in the play-offs. Peterborough away next week, top of the league and seemingly unstoppable, that'll be their first real test of how good they really are.

I'd be disappointed if we didn't win

Against a team who haven't won all season... Lol

The only other solution is to move our game to the midweek afterwards. Yes it'll clash with the Champions League but I think UEFA allow certain exceptional circumstances.

They still haven't confirmed the date for this one. The problem is that Liverpool are also playing at home. Both Chelsea and Everton play on Sunday, so they can't play on the Tuesday, and the police for obvious reasons don't want Everton and Liverpool playing at home on the same evening. So something has to give. https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/fixtures-results/chelsea-liverpool-carabao-cup-confirmed-15119341 This article mentions the Thursday as a possible date for one of the fixtures, but all of the four teams are scheduled to play on the following Saturday two days later (including Chelsea v Liverpool, scheduled for live TV) so that doesn't seem possible either, unless they move our away game at Wolves to the Sunday, but the backlash against the short notice wouldn't be pretty. Bit of a headache for the authorities to sort out.

Looking forward to it, at least it's a proper competition instead of a pointless friendly, England v Spain should be a good test for us.

No Lovren, no Lallana, just leaves VVD for an annual Anfield booing in a couple of weeks.

1-0 to Saints

Saw a woman get smacked in the face by a ball when the Saints players were warming up at Reading away

I think I'm right in saying that ourselves and a certain Hampshire club are kept apart.

If Salah gets injured then he has a chance.

They always do this, start the season superbly and by the end of the season look like relegation candidates. If they can sort out their consistency issues and not balls up the second half of the season then they're a decent bet for a European place.

Drugs? Strippers? I hope it's something interesting.

We did alright against the bigger teams under Pellegrino, he's an expert of setting up teams to not get beat. Unfortunately, he used that tactic against teams we really should've been beating.

Mods, can we have a MOTM poll? Hojbjerg for me, sensational display in the middle.

Bloody hell they're going bananas. Pretty tight at the top though, lots of teams up there. I reckon they'll make top 6 for sure but not sure they'll finish above the likes of Sunderland.

Two weeks and two days Annoying really that we don't play until the Monday night after an international weekend

Thank god we did get the win, this place would've been unbearable over the next two weeks. Hopefully we can push on and beat Brighton at home.

All of those desperate for Pellegrini looking a bit silly right now... I did say a team who had spent loads of money would flop, and it couldn't happen to a better club or a better set of fans. Let's hope they go down.

Wooohooo
