Almost exactly as I hoped for.
Any edited highlights?
-
Wolves v Crystal Palace is a remarkably entertaining game with moments of excellence surrounded by astonishing incompetence (for the level). PSR might well be killing the teams here. For better or worse.
-
It needed to be an Ipswich last minute really.
-
I think Philip Schofield and Gordon The Gopher would actually be an improvement on Stuart Atwell.
-
You can have cupboards, and multi-screen, and stop the play for eons, but you can't hide the fact that the idiot officials have no idea what they are looking at. Like the massive delay for Yates offside goal (onfield decision), to not be overturned. just massively embarrassing and bringing the game into disrepute. It's like asking a two year old to colour in, and telling them they are fantastic, when they can't hold the crayon properly, and can't stay in the lines. Never mind the shocking colours they select.
-
Gakpo is like CHO...and nearly as good.
-
Gakpo - a shit Teletubby.

I'm going to Spurs V Villa today. Hoping for a 4-4 draw with ex Forest players scoring many. (Spurs have oddly never drawn at the new ground yet).
-
An entertaining 2-2 at the very picturesque Stafflex Arena, overlooking Emley Moor and the transmitter.
Probably the worst set of qualified linespeople I've ever seen - couldn't keep up with play, unsure of the offside rule (one clearly onside flagged off, they then flagged offside on a backpass, but kept flag down when Brigg's top scorer was clearly offside and ran through and scored - the other just reacted to shouts, he was nearest the home team bench and the flag never went up in the first half when Shelley attacked, but went up constantly in the second every time they appealed).
Ref did okay in the first half, despite his terrible assistants, but had an absolutely shocking second half.
Missed a clear penalty for the hosts, then pulled play back when Brigg went through and scored, due to an injury to a Shelley player near the centre circle (would have made it 3-1 and sealed the game).
He then sent off Brigg's right-back who was getting wound up by the constant poor decisions (booked him for questioning one shocking decision to give a foul, then sent him off five minutes later for questioning another terrible decision to give a foul).
Shelley equalised in the last minute after a goalmouth scramble, following another free-kick for a non-existent foul. -
Young Brennan and his mates deliver.
Still 3rd for an hour or so at least. Mental that Man Yoo v Chelsea should have any relevance to us 10 games in.
-
4-1 to Spuds, leaves Manure needing to get at least a point at home to Chel$ea to keep us 3rd.
-
If Villa and Chelsea had both picked up points today it would have been the first time in football history that the top 5 teams in any domestic league were all former European Cup winners. (This can only happen in England as this is the only country that has 5 or more former European Champions.)
-
I watched 20 minutes of Millwall v Burnley. Turgid.
-
Brilliant trivia. In theory, it could be top 6 teams if Man U pulled their finger out.
-
Man Utd wootage…
