I don't hugely like the arselicking Brentford get sometimes, but the way they've approached games really is good to watch. When you compare them to the time wasters we played today I really hope we see teams like Brentford rewarded for having a go.

You didn't see them last week when they basically just sat on the floor wasting time every time they got fouled.

I’ve just watched this and thought the same thing, if anything this was a goal you couldn’t argue if it was chalked off.

The reaction of the player stood in front of the keeper was clear that he expected it to be ruled offside

 

Cant wait to hear Dermot Gallagher defend that one

[filbertway]

Man City and Chelsea will be top 2 with Man U 3rd and Liverpool 4th. Liverpool are a few injuries away from turning to some players that just aren't upto the standard of their first choice 12/13 players.

 

United could be higher with a better manager and Liverpool could challenge if they dont suffer any injuries

Or gets the boot, I honestly am not sure which happens but I'd be surprised if hes here in 2 years.

Just seen Villa’s winner - the inconsistent nature of the officials is a disgrace 

Yep I’ve just seen it. Villa player you could argue was impeding more than Barnes was on both of them!

Watching Southampton and Wolves is like watching us at the minute. 
 

Both giving the ball away, struggling to get into relatively good positions them making a bad decision, an awful pass or a weak finish. 

[An Sionnach]

Trincao and Traore benched, wingers are bang out of fashion.

The sooner teams start looking at their own strengths and playing to them the better instead of playing in this one size fits all style.

Too scared of each other I guess?

 

Got the whiff of a 1-0 either way this one.

Just catching up on MOTD. That Bruno Fernandes penalty has cheered me right up. 
 

I wish Jonathan Pearce would **** off. Awful commentator that tries to give his opinion on everything. That’s not his job.

No Wolves fan .. but good for Raul Jimenez!

[Suzie the Fox]

Nice to see Jimenez getting on the score-sheet.

[RowlattsFox]

Seems current and ex Southampton defenders can't handle a straight long ball. Bednarek with his best Vestergaard impression.

Absolutely! That's got to be up there for goal of the month, especially considering the circumstances.

Same could apply to Perez vs Napoli - his 'circumstances' is that he is just rubbish

[OntarioFox]

Jimenez has just single-handedly restored my faith in our backline with that one.

He did take that goal well to be fair!

Brendan will be signing a couple of the Saints' defenders in the January window

Been saying that for months.  There’s probably going to be some pretty big fish in that pond, though.

[Tuna]

**** off Sky with the split screen bollocks showing players arriving at the other game really annoying.

[Super_horns]

They’ll probably still beat us but Saints are missing Ings badly .
