Sunderland 8 down to Southampton

This must be the worst Prem League for proper quality in a few years. Even Chelsea who if early season is any indicator will waltz to the title bothered only slightly by Man City on the way.

The rest of the bigger sides are pish, which means Soton, Hull et al get their chance in the sun, which is nice for them but in the end football gravity tends to take hold.

Meanwhile will Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton continue to stumble about like drunks?

One of the worst penalty awards in the Stoke-Swansea match. Ref trying to even it up for Shawcross's rugby tackle on Bony. Delighted he finally got caught but the Moses dive would be hysterical if it wasn't so wrong for Swansea.

Agree, finally a ref has the bottle to award one of those but then evens it up comically. The Stoke crowd are really really horrible it must be said.

Harry Redknapp not holding back in his post match press conference, Sky showed clips earlier of him giving the reasons why Taarabt does not feature and he is adamant that he is the best man for the job.

Mark Clattenburg to trouble again.

Top-flight referee Mark Clattenburg has been dropped from officiating this weekend for two breaches of protocol.

He broke Premier League code to speak on the phone to Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock after the West Brom draw.

The 39-year-old then left the ground alone to drive to Newcastle to watch pop star Ed Sheeran in concert.

The referee body, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, says officials must travel to and from the ground together for integrity and security.

Premier League rules state that all officials must be present during a conversation with a manager, which means an official cannot make or take calls from club managers away from the ground.

Clattenburg or Twatenberg is a complete ars*hole. Constantly f**king teams over. He robbed Everton of a derby win a few seasons ago and has cost many other teams victories. He is always likely to make 1 major mistake in a game.
Always comes across as an arrogant/cocky plonk as well on tv aswell.

Anyone the other night hear Gary Neville on MNF about Spurs saying their weak never ready weak in the head that failure runs through the club basically. Was it fair? I agree with him I think he got spot on

Lukker-

Rio Ferdinand banned for 3 games following an idiotic and childish outburst on twitter, seriously like does he ever learn? A most terrible human.

The outburst was in relation to someone suggesting that QPR need to sign a new centre back and Rio's response was:

get ya mum in, plays the field well son! #sket

Sket is Jamaican slang word that essentially means slut.

Just saw that, he really is some dope. Serial offender he's quitting at the end of the season I think, at which point he'll be part of the SKY or BBC pundit panels, oh goodie.

So then how long has Steve Bruce got? In the drop zone 0-2 down at home. City next then 3 games that really they have to win two of you'd think - Villa, QPR (both at home) and Stoke.

Qprs away record begs belief. 11 games, 11 defeats with 6 goals scored and 27 conceded. Jonny walters scoring a perfect hat trick today is the icing on the cake, arry doing a triffic job.

Charlie Austin left Loftus Road on crutches last night with a reported broken foot. That would be huge.
