Wolves have retired the number 1 jersey for an ex keeper who has leukemia so keeper went with 11

Neves is a star, very early shout for YPOTY. He’s single handedly keeping Wolves in this game.

Not watching the game - think the goal and assist today is an anomaly or does he feature heavily in attack?

Not sure how often he contributes with goals and assists like this, but he definitely sets the tempo of Wolves’ attack from the midfield. Just has the presence of a quality midfielder about him IMO.

Harry Palmr

He'll be a lot better in a year, and with better players around him.

Today Wolves have actually been given a bit of a lesson in space, pace and strength. Everton haven't once looked like a side playing with 10 men when defending and they've sprung a number of excellent counters any of which could have yielded a goal.

They said on the Totally Football Show (I think or On The Continent) he had something like 4 touches in the opposition box last season. Sounded like a mad stat.

klose

Jagielka was lucky he didn't snap the wolves players ankle on the first half. Think Everton will be fairly happy getting a point away with ten men and the big money signing hitting the ground running. Wolves weren't great by any stretch.

Emery should have started Leno & Torreira. Granted City are the better side but this Arsenal side still has too much of the Wenger "magic". The likes of Xhaka, Cech, Mustafi & Bellerin shouldn't still be first choice anymore.

Cech made some very good saves. Nearly kicking the ball into his own goal was poor though.

If you count West Ham & Huddersfield's performances as playing then yes they have.

Thought West Ham would have been better,they were never in the game,maybe Liverpool are just that good.

Ref Bob Madley has quit the PL at 32.

He's quit due to "personal reasons, due to a relocation"

Lots of speculation that a video on social media has caused him to quit.

Word on the Web, not that I'd believe it without evidence is that it involves Madley and a dog.

Fcuking hell he is only 32.


Looks in his 40's

Ya that was the biggest shock of it all.

He's no loss, IMO, he was one of the worst refs in the league himself and Jon Moss are right up there.

He does look ruff for it.

It must be a coincidence that hes a fan of The Terriers - Huddersfield Town

You can’t beat football fans.

A referee retires due to a “change in his personal circumstances” which could be anything.

15 minutes later he’s a dog nonce :pac:

Harry Palmr

Man Utd

32?! He looks as old as me. Actually I look younger at a distance.

Sprinter Sacre

Twitter rumour of Madley quitting after it has emerged he was involved with a Jack Russell is one of the funniest yet most f*cked up things I've come across on there

The only way the Cardiff vs Newcastle match could be worse is if it could go into extra time or a replay.

Gbear

Man Utd

Madness there by Kennedy for Newcastle. Just booted a Cardiff player in the shin. A free was given but the ref mustn't have seen it properly because he didn't even book him. Absolute blatant red for violent conduct.

Game's scrappy. A few decent bits of play off loose balls by Newcastle, but there's a lack of quality in how they're hanging on to it.

blueser

Man Utd

Just got back in the door and have just seen Kenedy's kick. If no action was taken against him, I'd imagine he might be getting invited down to the FA for a chat.

Gbear

Man Utd

Decent play to get a cross in there by Josh Murphy for Cardiff.

Don't suppose he has an Irish granny?

Newcastle failing an important test. Down to 10 men

Thought it was a bit harsh but i can see why it was red. Newcastle so poor, Arter is dominating the midfield but no one near him

blueser

Wasn't a clever tackle by Hayden, but I'm not sure it was a red card. Ref making up for the clanger he dropped in the first half (by dropping another)?

Do they pick these officials from the queue outside Specsavers?

I think it was a red although I wouldn’t have been surprised to see a yellow. High tackle from behind, nowhere near the ball and no chance of ever getting the ball. Don’t see how anyone could argue with it tbh.

I bet you Benitez will! Back to the game, there's a severe lack of quality out there. Even Shelvey is looking very average.

Christ, that's crude by Arter. That was nothing more than a hack.

What is going on this year with the sponsors? Cardiff look like Chelsea except with a big ‘Visit Malaysia’ printed on the front. I think it was Arsenal last week sponsored by ‘visit Rwanda’.

Could be a good omen for Cardiff's season that...

I was hoping that'd go in, just so we could be treated to a Neil Warnock rant.

ERG89

Sums up the game nicely. Cardiff were remarkably bad for a team with their first home game. Newcastle were as bad. Both sides will do well to stay up unless they learn how to play with the ball.

Poetic Justice. Kennedy should have been off for his kick at the Cardiff player.

Coleman captains Everton, Long on the bench for Southampton, Doherty starts for Wolves and Rice not in the squad for West Ham.

Richalison has had a cracking start to his season, wonder if it'll all dry up again when opposition remembers how to stop him.

How do you stop him?

I want to say that Callum Wilson has scored a beautiful goal for Bournmouth to draw level with West Ham, but the defending was a bit on the flaccid side.

Gbear

Man Utd

Vardy's been sent off as well. Follow through on a 50/50 clearance, and he really followed through on it. Lucky not to break your man's leg.

TitianGerm

Man Utd

Harry Kane scores in August as well. Definitely going to get the golden boot this season so.

Gbear

Man Utd

Spurs were battering on the door pretty much constantly once it went 2-1.
Despite being 1-1 for a bit, it wasn't a close game, certainly not near the end.
Fulham's keeper had to make a few saves. Their defence doesn't look particularly resilient. Could've easily been 5-1.

West Ham- 100m spent and they’ve gotten worse

Sarri's weird-looking.

He's got the sort of paunch that men of a certain age get, but he has tiny little matchstick arms that look like they're glued on and being operated remotely.
