Keith Stroud getting surrounded by players was one of the least surprising sights of the weekend  dreading when we have him, can’t believe he’s lasted this long!

Don't think we can as he has Leicester links I thought?

He refereed us last in 2014 but his last PL game was 2016

Does anyone really need to wait for some shit highlights show on ITV when there's about ten highlight videos on Youtube straight after the match finishes?

I miss the days of Claridge giving monotone observations as they just went through the leagues, gone midnight. 

 

It's the same reason I like final score on a cold winter's night. There's just something about it that sounds right.

I'm sat in my Claridge replica shirt right now and the Walkers sponsor has just started to peel. This is a sign.

i was starting to think our keepers were getting told to look small and avoid all contact with the ball.

Blimey, they're having it worse than us.

 

I do think Leeds are the most likely of the three relegated sides to struggle this season.

Might take them even longer to get going. They were already struggling up front before this weekend, with some saying it'll take them til middle of September to get up and running. Now may be longer. Wonder how their transfer business will go before now and end of the window.

Cooper is a big one for them, he is their leader. He got injured when he scored Sunday I believe ? 

 

They looked terrible Sunday in the first half but did get going in the game. They will be similar to us, it will take a while but with all these injuries it will take a lot longer

Quite a heavily changed side though. It does, however, suggest they lack depth and are a couple of injuries or poorly replaced sales away from being weakened.

Yeah Cardiff were unlucky not to get the 3 points. 

 

But I didn't get injured, thanks for your concern though!

6 of their starters were playing in the PL last season to be fair. It wasn't like it was a full reserve side.

They weren’t particularly good on Friday either. Fans already questioning Poundland Brendan’s tactics

Good! Big loss for Southampton. The more our rivals for promotion are weakened, the better!

Hmm, depends how well (and much) they reinvest from what’s likely to be a tidy sum. Not jumping for joy just yet!

Foxestalk had them down as gaining 138 points this season and being European champions by 2026 after the first 30 minutes.
