Quite enjoyed the Liverpool banner, “All of your stars are fading away”

Hostile atmosphere, albeit not on an intensity of our game today.

City getting it every time they have a spell of possession, fight a few minutes ago on the pitch and some of the banners - the ‘We’re not Here’ with the trophies crossed out and another in the Kop corner saying ‘a generation of supporters cheated’. 

Very poor game. Been building it up for weeks and it's tepid.

Weirdly I’d like to see City score just for the rabid frothing of scouse hordes that would no doubt follow.

It’s been like Saints v Pompey of last season. Scrappy needle, but no chances at goal.

Yeah. It's funny now watching the pundits try to come up with something to talk about - they could always mention City's cheating but it's all swept conveniently under the carpet unlike spygate.

[saintant]

Oops. Liverpool down to ten. Now the Scousers will show their feelings.

You nearly had your wish - Haaland very surprising miss clean through.

Scouse fury directed at the referee for second Gravenberg yellow instead. Carra Spit the Dog fuming on commentary.

He's got it now 🙂

[AlexLaw76]

I hope city get what is coming to them....but not today 🤣

[saintant]

And another.

[saintant]

City will surely lose these 3 points in the punishment 🙂

[Britannia]

Hate-watch unsuccessful, sadly.

Are you fucking mental, it is mentioned every 20 seconds 

[AlexLaw76]

what a goal.

Cherki is just brilliant.

With that in mind are City players now just window dressing.

Liverpool have been like a damp squib after the red card 

[Britannia]

I thought 10 men made you harder to beat?

Huh....

Saints > Liverpool?

[LiberalCommunist]

There's a proper meltdown going on regarding City winning today.

Some fans are absolutely furious. Why are they still in the league? How are they allowed to play? And that bench, is that even permitted?

I'm sorry, but I find it hilarious. If this is every weekend then I might even start paying attention to the EPL.

Assume will only be two relegation spots in PL this season but Coventry, Hull and Ipswich all look equipped to survive. Hopefully Bournemouth go

 

[Colinjb]

Enjoying Coventry's win here. Particularly the advantage for their third from the ref, very nicely done.

Newcastle are terrible. Their new manager isn’t working out so far.

Yep, Coventry seem over their dodgy start now. It's early days but I fancy all 3 could stay up even if it was the usual 3 spots, they all seem to have a bit about them.

In fairness, he's been given a tough start. Lost most of their top level players (Gordon, Tonali, Guimaries) and quite a few others out injured at the start of the season (Burn, Joelinton, Livramento, Ramsey). They signed a bunch as well but that's a major upheaval to handle as s new manager.

It wasn’t so much a judgement on him, I don’t know him from a bar of soap. It’s more a comment on it being a results business and being a being a bit confused by the clubs strategy. 

[Britannia]

Club are taking the piss here for West Ham.

Why bother with categories if you are just going to have something silly like Cat A*?

It's essentially a way to stop Membership Plus members from using their free tickets for the most attractive games.  They did something similar with the derby on Sunday, so it wasn't eligible.

I don't know him either. But I would think most sensible Geordie fans would take 8 points from 6 games and mid-table after losing their best players and their manager plus bad injury list so far. They won't be happy about last night though obviously! 

Not sure about club strategy, Eddie Howe clearly wasn't happy about the player sales!

Bolton beating Wolves....

Sure it won't last. Bolton have one of the league's most porous defences.

[Fabrice29]

U21's currently 5-4 up with 20 minutes to go against Boston United. Were 2 behind on a couple of occasions.

[macca155]

6 4 now, what a game

[Saint NL]

Watford 3-0 down before half time. The manager might as well not bother coming out for the second half 🤣

[LiberalCommunist]

That first day result is going to feel more painful as the season progresses.
