Fair play to both Liverpool and Man Utd but not the results I wanted. Very relieved it didn't break an EPL record and stopped at 9.

West Brom did well to come from behind today and get a draw so pleased with that…..knew Liverpool would come back, Klopp has been working them hard in training….although Bournemouth weren’t exactly tough competition today. City came back in the end as well after a slow start. Exciting games all round!!

Aww Scott Parkers been sacked by Bournemouth :-(

Oblomov22 · 30/08/2022 11:47

Poor Scotty. Seems a bit harsh.

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 30/08/2022 13:20

They haven't backed him in the market, and he's already played City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, and given all of them a hard game.

Seems a bit premature...

I shall miss his jumpers.

I expect he'll be back somewhere soon though.

AndNobbyDancing · 30/08/2022 16:13

I'm not shocked, just sad. What the Bournemouth board expect when Scott only had a fiver to buy new players I don't know.

A point away to Leeds, I take that.

I am not sure about their manager, Ted Lasso he ain't Grin

Leeds fan here, and glad for the point.

Everton were tough to crack, both had plenty of chances to win it, think the board could be playing a risky game with no striker.

Anyway, 8 points from 5 games and 5 points better off than we were this season. On to Brentford.

Joining this thread for the first time, I didn’t even know it existed! I don’t suppose I need to say who my team is… Not expecting much from this evening given our injury tally but I figure it’s a free hit and you just never know…

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 31/08/2022 08:36

Also does anyone do fantasy football? I played my wildcard yesterday after a disastrous couple of weeks, amongst others took Mitrovic out and put Dunk in at the back 😐 bleeding marvellous 😂

ListenLinda · 31/08/2022 09:32

5 pts better off than this time last season* bloody fat fingers!

MiltonRoad · 31/08/2022 12:02

Beyond happy with last nights result 😇 I think buying the young players is going to pay off 🤞🏻 Sad about Scott Parker - but Saints Twitter did send a hand hold to Bournemouth in solidarity

That Southampton tweet did make me snort. Love a bit of football Twitter shithousery.

Deadline day and for a change I am sort of keeping an eye on it. A few interesting names being mentioned.

I don't do fantasy football, I am not one for tactics and stuff Smile

I play fantasy football. I haven't used a wildcard, triple capt or bench boost yet. I'm saving them for as long as possible.

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 31/08/2022 17:12

@everylittlehelp5 the amount of injuries in my team was horrific so I had to bite the dust. I figure we get a free hit during the WC break so hopefully I can last until then without further disaster!

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 31/08/2022 23:20

Looks like Villa were sent out to try and kick us off the pitch Angry(with the help of the ref). I hope there are no more serious injuries.

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 31/08/2022 23:28

E.g. not entirely sure how this is not a penalty...

Both Saints tweets were funny, if I was clever I'd link them but I'm not. What a difference in management boards between Saints and Cherries.

I think Eddie is great so have interest in Newcastle this year, glad he has a chance to buy the talent he spots.

Still haven't got over the Parker sacking, MNU finally seem dogged, maybe this is the start of something.

sunstoked · 02/09/2022 22:08

Boing boing baggies! Late equaliser against Burnley tonight 😁

AndNobbyDancing · 02/09/2022 22:18

And they definitely deserved it.

ChorleyFMcominginyourears · 02/09/2022 22:59

Just found this thread! Liverpool fan here. Only 1 of my 3 kids like football and he's a Liverpool fan too. Looking forward to the Derby tomorrow but after all the injuries I'm not optimistic! Nunez is back though so we will see!

That end didn't help my blood pressure but I really enjoyed the derby. Fair result but could have won it.

Pickford was immense!

Coady was unlucky, van Dijk was lucky.
