If Carneiro was a man, nobody would care about this story.

I don't know. I'd like to think they would. It does seem like a dick move by Jose.

Carneiro was waved on by the ref, her not going onto the field would be a breach of the medical rules for the players.... if Jose wants to blame someone blame Eden Hazard for going down and acting injured.

If you're City/Arsenal/United - you're delighted by this negative atmosphere over the champions. They drew their first game; had Courtois off who will miss the big game vs City; no big signings but Mourinho's the type of man-manager that he'll be using the "whole world is against us" match speech for City.

What you thinking ahead of Villa vs. Man United on Friday night @PorkChop? Luckily for you Blind will be at CB so if Gestede can home in on him, should grab some success but hoping LVG plays Depay on the wing but Mata in behind Rooney and Herrera in midfield.

If it's endless possession and no shots on targets in the 69th minute, then yes! If we play in the same style as Saturday, we might eek out a 1-0 win or a draw.

You'll smash us a solid 3-0.

The antics of Balotelli at Liverpool laid bare here but just LOL'd at the goal he scored from the half way line into his own net! He is unmanageable.

Random thought watching the Villa/Man Utd game. Cameron Jerome scoring an overhead kick is deemed dangerous play and the goal disallowed, but a Man Utd defended grabbing someone around the neck with both hands to prevent him from heading the ball isn't even a foul ...

The fucking refereeing in the supposed best league in the world is a fucking joke.

Wayne Rooney is a £300k a week turd, how is he considered one of the best?

Is he? I don't think many people are saying that tbh.

But his poor touch was woeful as it normally is tbh. I don't see we are supposed to get 20-25 goals from him but the build up play isn't great for him to get the opportunity to do that. It was in the 90th minute when he got into the Villa box. Villa, if they had the presence of Benteke, would have grabbed a draw from that but United showed glimpses of play but tbh, 6 points from three shots on target I'll take but playing against better teams we'll get undone. Defence is solid but tougher tests to come.

fuck mun united theyre shite

I love u propet you cunt

2-0 up at half time. Just hope we don't blow it.

[PorkChop]

I was at a BBQ last night and we had the game on. I'd had several cans of Stella and a few bottles of Desperados 'Red', which tastes like cherries mixed with petrol. I wholeheartedly apologise for my drunken antics.

Shame Norwich couldn't keep a clean sheet, great win nonetheless. Coventry 4-0 up as well!

[Daz]

Sunderland didn't deserve to score. Fucking awful football team. Dominated the entire game, pretty much walked through their midfield. Was just what we needed after last week. Redmond has to start more games, because he's turned into such a good player. Getting goals now too, which is just what we need. I wish we had RVW on the bench, because this was the type of game to bring him on for, cause he could quite easily have gotten a goal in a game like this. Sadly, I think he's probably on his bike now.

[AkydefGoldberg]

Bet Dick Advocaat is thinking back on the moment he decided to return to Sunderland. Surely, this is the year they go down?

I wouldn't bet against it. They look completely devoid of all belief and motivation, and coupled with the fact that they're shit, it looks like they'll struggle.

[Viazon]

So Zaha pushes Monreal over. Blatant foul. Arsenal are awarded a free kick. Palace fans chant, "same old Arsenal, always cheating". Makes sense.

Another win today over Alloa. Early lead came from Tavernier who had another great match for us, however the lead didn't last long at all as some shaky defending gave Michael Chopra an equalizer. Within the first 10 minutes we were ahead again as Jason Holt won a penalty that was converted by Martyn Waghorn.

The game was all Rangers from that point on but we hit the woodwork on a couple of occasions, it took a half hour for the next goal to come. Jason Holt jumped on a rebound to double the lead. Not long afterwards Kenny Miller got the fourth to put the game to bed and round out the half.

In the second half we continued to control the game. New loan signing Oduwa got on for the last half hour or so, he plays a bit cute for my liking but I won't argue when it works. He played a part in Miller's second and would have got himself an assist if Tavernier's goal wasn't wrongly ruled offside. He tried pulling shit like this late in the game. He'll be fun to watch, at least.

Hibs next week, I'm not expecting another 6-2 demolition but I'm confident we pick up the win over them again.

[PorkChop]

Jesus Navas is shite.
