Arsenal's title to lose now.

We'll have a better idea after they play a top six side.

So like, Leeds or Brighton? Got it!

[SouthStandUpperTier]

So basically it's just Forest's flukey win over WHU that is keeping us from propping up the table. Grim times indeed.

We are still in the relegation zone though no silver lining.

Definitely, it’s a f**king joke that Rodgers is still here.

No one seriously looks at a league table in the first 8 games do they?

Gary Neville has just suggested we'll trouble United more than Liverpool did because we're more "pragmatic and direct".

I know… couldn’t believe my ears. What a cracking pundit who really knows the style of play of every prem club.

[Aus Fox]

It’s a massive problem with punditry and to some extent all football fans.

They comment based on results, but outside their own side they don’t really look at performance and this leads to either over or under estimating a teams performance.

Anyone who has actually watched Forest this season would see they have been awful, yet West Ham some how managed not to put them away and Everton, were well Everton… so they sit on four points and people claiming they look really good.

You simply cannot watch every Premier League game and the highlights often make a shocking performance look okay.

Rather be in the bottom 3 with 35 games to go then with 3 games to go.

The way I see it, the club as a whole knows what they are doing, the past 8 years have been the best time of our lives and we have had confidence in them. Now all of a sudden we have a bad year and the back room staff and jon rudkin don’t know what they are doing ? The club is investing in the infrastructure for example the training ground and stadium and cementing us as a big club, we are just balancing the books and top knows what we need, I’d rather us do this than chuck silly money at a team and take risks, fully fit and firing we have a top 8 side. Let’s keep behind this club we love 🦊💙🦊💙🦊💙

Good grief and not one mention of the manager. Don't know how you managed all that without it.

My United and Arsenal supporting colleagues very happy this morn.

 

My Liverpool one, not so much.

As much as it's great to see some glum Liverpool faces at work today, it's immediately counter-acted by Man Utd fans thinking 'they are back'...

 

 

[Bilsthorpe Blue]

People moaning already about our league position, I bet before the season started all of them would have taken being 1 point behind Liverpool after 3 games

[Bazly]

The relegation zone is looking strange three games gone, bottom West Ham, 19th Leicester City, 18th Wolves, 17th Everton and 16th Liverpool. Could be a interesting relegation battle this year, Pretty sure we will be there or there abouts come May.

Erik ten Hag dropped an F-bomb live on Sky Sports when discussing his Manchester United side's shock 2-1 victory over Liverpool.

The Red Devils boss joined host David Jones and pundits Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville after securing his first win in charge. He was asked to sum up his emotions as the post-match interview got underway.

Ten Hag replied: "We can talk about tactical but it’s all about attitude. Now we see, we bring the attitude on the pitch. There was communication, there was a fighting spirit, especially there was [a] team, and then you can see what they achieve because they can f***ing good play football."

Jones, who believed Ten Hag may have been speaking in his native tongue, continued: "I wasn’t sure if it was lost in translation Erik, I do apologise."

 

 

The slip of the tongue had viewers in stitches. One tweeted: "Nah Ten Hag just casually dropped an f bomb, these players stressed him differently." A second posted: "Love Erik ten Hag dropping an f bomb and not even realising he’d done it."

"Erik ten Hag dropping F bombs live on air, I love him even more now," commented a third. While a fourth added: "Ten Hag dropping the f bomb in a live interview is hilarious!"
