    I actually dont know how you can defend against the geezer. Its not like you can tackle him, he never has possesion, just pops up out of nowhere and shoots

    The bloke is just a goal machine. If he stays at Coty a few years he will blow away every record in the book

    And if you stick to him like glue and try to mark him out the game, they'll destroy you with other players, and he'll probably still score anyway as he'll just bully you for those 90 mins you stick to him

    You cant man mark him though, hes 6'4" and runs the 100 metres in about 4 seconds. There are better players technically for sure, and better team players, but i dont think there is anyone in the world harder to stop scoring

    I assume no one has ever held the lead in the golden boot standings from the 4th minute of the season right through to the finish. good chance it happens this year
    1st player to ever score the 1st AND 2nd goals of a Premier league season.

    Pointless "fact" about Bruun Larsen, in my FM save from about 3/4 seasons ago he was Charlton captain for 7 seasons and led us to 3 Champions Leagues, only to demand a move to Everton of all places because we "couldn't match his ambition"

    E-ticket system failed and wouldn't let anyone in

    Turnstile issues.

    Wouldn't have happened in Rob Lee's day.

    Well that's what happens when small clubs like Arsenal, with few resources, get to the Premier League  ;)

    Sheff Utd team looks bloody awful (for Prem level). If Palace don’t get a comfortable three points they should be very concerned.

    2-1 Newcastle. Great game so far.

    I’m watching it in our Majorca hotel bar, waiting  for my wife and daughter to come down. Sitting with a family of geordies, they’re loving it.

    That should be a red for Martinez

    No.  Almirón is heading towards the corner flag. Not through on goal.  Yellow card

    I understand that. High tackle plus no attempt to play the ball.

    Their team is worse now than when they got promoted. Very bizarre what's going on there, the owners seem to have given up before a ball was kicked. 

    Palace had 68% possession and 24 shots at goal, so imagine what decent teams are going to do to Sheff Utd.

    The worry is that with Luton and Sheffield United ( lost 4 of their better players)so short of quality that the teams owned by the filthy rich will attempt to get the Premier League reduced to 18 teams. 

    They just failed the first time with the breakaway European super League but the Premier League was set up to be elitist. No revenue for the away sides, and some clubs being owned by rulers of middle east countries.

    Brentford vs Spurs has a delayed KO, no water coming into the Ground.

    Just said it's a health hazard with no sanitation in the ground.

    Who remembers the toilet on the halfway line at the Old Den, ankle deep in piss if you didn't get in there early.

    I do wonder if the relegation 'battle' could be a bit of damp squib this year with Luton and Sheff Utd, Wolves look in big trouble too.

    Neat set piece for Spurs to take the lead

    Romero instantly subbed for a head injury... Not overly surprised, he doesn't seem to know what country he's in
