Pleasing to see the wheels fall off Newcastle, not only are they owned by murdering, sportswashing cunts which seems to have been forgotten, but Howe and Tindall are gaping arseholes too.

They were always going to tumble eventually, so naive trying to play that kind of intensity football when you have so many games to play, there shouldn't be sympathy for their injuries, it's part of management.

Alex Scott with a superb piece of play to set up Bournemouth’s goal

He's looked a class act so far.

Excellent advantage played by the ref in Sheff Utd v Luton game

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Epic goalmouth scramble in lead up to Sheffield United taking the lead.

He's been good. Not seen him before.

He's been good. Not seen him before.

First PL game, as DW says has a lot of experience of playing at a good level.

 

[jd1981]

Luton have been shocking since about the 35th minute.

I think Amazon have a ref cam from the amount of time they keep showing him.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

SU gifting Luton the lead. It’s as if they don’t want to stay up.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Why is Townsend wearing 1996 Robbie Fowler nose tape?

They are showing him a hell of a lot.

 

[leedswolf]

Sheff Utd are a horrible team.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Sheff Utd are a horrible team.

The quality of this game is low, it's been entertaining though.

I can't help but warm towards Luton, patronising as it is.

Big thing really isn't it.

- First black ref for 15 years (a terrible state of affairs really and should never happen)
- Ex-player angle which we've never seen before, I know it's non-league but it's way better than some dork like Attwell who I doubt has ever kicked a ball

He's been very good albeit with few obvious flashpoints. Not had any time for dickhead antics from Sheff Utd for a start.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Its only one game, which I'm not emotionally invested in so I'm sure I might feel differently if it was Wolves.

But he doesn't have that air of school teacher/copper/traffic warden that so many refs seem to have.

I'm with you but it's not hard to see Nuno pulling Forest away (miles better today than they were in away games under Cooper) and you wouldn't think Hodgson will relegate Palace. With Bournemouth and us now well clear, Everton would be top half on actual results, it's hard to see what candidates may fall into that battle. I mean ideally, Chelsea but there aren't many.

 

[The Bear]

Probably gonna a be a shoot-out between Luton and Forest for that last relegation spot.

Especially if Everton get their points penalty reduced.

Yeah I was just looking at the table and thinking similarly, I guess Fulham or Brentford could drop in, but it's very unlikely, especially with Toney back soon.

Fulham can just as easily go on a great mini run (as they just have) as go on a run of not winning in 5, but they're still "only" 6 ahead of Luton having played a game more.

 

[HanDoJin]

Fulham or Brentford or Palace would be my ideal picks. Too many London clubs in this division
