The Southampton run is something special the last month or so. Insane

Ever since they got ripped apart by Spurs they've been on fire

I think that even that one was almost a false drubbing. They gave Spurs some match and were on top for large parts. The quality of the Son/Kane axis decided it and caused a bit of a lopsided score.

It was a story of two halves, yeah. Southampton in the first and Spurs in the second. Both Son and Kane were on fire. As a Spurs fan I do not want to play Southampton anytime soon.

INSANITY

First time since 1988 in the old first division when NONE of their current squad was born. I love ridiculous stats!

We played well from what I saw. The first half was during my lunch break and I had half an eye on the second half whilst in a tutorial...

it’s really random how much better of a side we look away from, especially as these days it can’t be down to crowd pressure...

Everton have looked really poor of late. They’re missing Richarlison it seems. However, United were good. Bruno and Fred impressed me a lot. Not having Pogba out there probably helped too.

Going to enjoy this one for a little bit, even if it’s only for like 2 hours

Even if they do, Liverpool need to lose or draw and we’d stay top. I’m just happy for the win even if it’s unlikely to be in 1st after this GW.

Welp. Take back what I said any how.

i mean if that’s a fucking penalty then we’re all fuct, the ball was smashed at him from close range. Absurd.

Absolutely

 

[Joe Mac]

I usually embrace technology but looking at ridiculous calls like that “penalty” and the Bamford “offside” yesterday there’s no doubt in my mind now that VAR must go.

Pencester City

That’s 8 pens in 8 games for them

 

[Joe Mac]

Second one was 100% a pen to be fair.

Edit: and they missed that so maybe 1-0 is the fair score now

Wooooow!
