25/26 - Non Saints Games

[Harry_SFC]

Sounds like Leicester really struggled in the first half against Preston. 

Wonder how many of their players actually want to be there because their front 3/4 should be ridiculous at this level.

Spurs are really going to have to go all out to lose this 4-3.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Going to be a very, very, long season for Burnley fans.

1-1 against the run of play

Sunderland 2-0 up. Brilliant for them.

And West Ham on this basis too.

I know it's only one game but it's a great start for them. They've invested heavily but it's what you have to do these days to have any chance in that league.

West Ham will be down there this season I think.

They were turgid last year, really they have been since at least the Conference League win. I think it's their time this year.

Should make Fernandes think twice about wanting consecutive seasons of relegation struggle…..Sunderland showing how a 4th placed Chamionship team might have a chance of staying in the Prem….!

An amusing look at predictions from Max Rushden, who has West Ham relegated:

I expect they’ll limp their way to safety. Will be interesting to see how Sunderland do though!

[CB Fry]

I wish we were Sunderland 

[Lighthouse]

I just can’t fathom how Sunderland have managed to do that. They didn’t sign a bottom half Championship defender for £3m or a 37 year old cripple who’s ’great in the dressing room’, how can they possibly succeed?!

[Toussaint]

Potter is going to win the sack race.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Birmingham are going to be insufferable this season 🙄

[HarvSFC]

Did Sunderland not get the memo that good players don't move to clubs like ours until the final weeks of the transfer window? Also not allowed to spend above £25m.

Anybody left still wishing we’d gotten him as manager?

Thats what happens when you let a stubborn Scottish prima donna dictate transfer policy

[Willo of Whiteley]

Ruben Selles masterclass continues

[skintsaint]

Pompey, Wrexham, Sheff Utd, Leicester all lose, shame about Birmingham but can't have it all 😅
