Yeah and media, well Talksport from what i have been listening to in the last couple of weeks, think they're top six material. I think Marmoush will be a good signing but it'll take a long time for them to gel. Fling enough poo and some of it will stick eventually. But for a team with aspirations to get back into Europe and spending shitloads, naming Kinsky as your number one keeper is a strange move.

Wolves look good. Reckon they'll be right up in first or second come the end game.

It's one of those obscure rulings that the ball has bounced around a bit before he scores. Yes, he’s in an offside position but it's not an offside offence.

Of course the Assistant saw it but we have to accept that he knows the Laws better than any of us.

They were close to scoring several times and I think when the new signings bed in they could improve 🙂 . Their manager is still a tosser 😄

Everyone seems to have this belief.  Fucking joke paying the prices they have - Tonali a £100m player is just ludicrous.  Immense quality in that squad generally though with Kudus now fit as well, and Madison back.  I don’t know enough about him to have confidence that De Zerbi will be a success regardless of environment though.

Law needs sorting then, as he was so offside initially it gave him the 2 yards headstart on the defence to get to the rebound.

Brighton are such a good team. Brilliantly coached. Outplaying Chelsea who spend an utter fortune.

Chances of Eddie Howe becoming Man U manager by xmas?

Luke Shaw not covering himself in glory and Ipswich are leading at Old Trafford

Just depends if they need to sell or if any higher up teams fancy taking a chance on one of their good players. They have certainly started well.

Ipswich just conceded the most ridiculous goal you'll ever see....

Maguire handled it and shot, it got a knick off the defender so the goal was given as an own goal so the handball didn't count. 

Ipswich learning that the PL is rigged 🤣

It’s not rigged, that’s the correct interpretation of the rules as they are written. It was given as an o.g. Because the initial shot was off target, not because it ‘got a nick’.

That rule is a farce, it was the clearest handball you'll see and just because his shot was off target they get the advantage.

It’s an absolutely stupid rule though. The only reason McGuire got a shot away was because he hand balled it. Had the shot been on target no goal because it took a deflection it was a goal. How does that make any sense?

that was not a 'nick'...the ball was going very wide

The handball should be given as is, not dependant on what happens afterwards

I thought Handball had to be either deliberate or hands/arms in an unnatural position?

Neither was the case here, was it?

A very clear handball irrespective of what happened after.

They were in an unnatural position.
