MANCHESTER UNITED 5-4 Manchester City

Bonkers game of football! And on paper we didn't deserve a point but we stayed at it and from 4-3 down, two goals in the last quarter of the game changed face completely, with the lads off the bench having an involvement in the two decisive moments.

We was far too under the cosh, the plan was to thrown the kitchen sink and it exposed us, City got hold of the midfield and deservedly lead by 2 early doors. We fought to then go ahead before gifting the lead back to City before Elanga and Valverde added their name in Derby Folklore.

Everything we hit went in, its a bizarre outcome but a huge one in our season as we're looking to start building on our recent momentum but this is a huge result for sure.

Aston Villa 0 - 4 Leeds United

We took a bit of a spanking in this game. Credit to Leeds United they came and played on the front foot and although we were perhaps a little unfortunate to concede a first early goal from that point onward we played straight into the oppositions hands. By the halfway mark we was three goals down and I have to say that Leeds were worthy of the end result which was a four goal mauling. The brave prospered in this one without a doubt.

Crystal Palace 3-2 West Ham United

Not sure what to think of this match other than I am glad we won. We were up against 4-4-2 D which I know was a random sheet. I didn't know that was a thing. Then, D managed to score two against us despite us playing a passing style throughout. I'll take this as it puts us in touch with the leaders still and I didn't expect that. We are still experimenting and might try something new next match.

Aston Villa 0 - 4 Leeds United


I have to say, I feel sorry for Ian here. This result has been coming since the start of the season. Yes we did batter them on stats and it reflected in the score line but in truth, the performance was no better than most we have produced this season but this time we just actually got the result. No silly goals conceded and we took some of our chances.

Fantastic win vs a really strong side. Hopefully it is a turning point in our season. We really did go for this and we were rewarded on this occasion.

Played Ian.

Newcastle 1 Chelsea 3

Back to winning ways in this one, thank the lord.We took our chances for once and that was the difference on this occasion.Its never easy at Newcastle as they're a decent side with a good manager in charge,but we achieved our aim and took the points back home with us.Both strikers on the score sheet again, so happy days.Good game mate,and best of luck for the remainder of the season.

Blackburn Rovers 0 - 4 Sheffield Wednesday

We got our arses whooped here on stats you'd expect a draw or something but oh no we got dealt with good and proper 4 nil lol this definitely brought us back down to earth but we dust ourselves off and we get ready to go back out there and try better to get the result we want shame to lose Aguerd for 3 games with injury but nice to see Rebic rate up.

Stoke City 3 - 0 Leicester City

A great home win and performance in this match against a team and manager I usually struggle against.

We created quite a few chances and this meant we gave ourselves the greatest opportunity to take all 3 points.

The 3 points mean we have 13 out of 21 and gives us a great start in fighting the drop.

We’re making a few changes to the squad over the next few weeks and I hope this pushes us on rather than rocks the boat!

Great game Neil, good luck in your next games

Everton 3 - 1 Arsenal

One step forward and two steps back seems to be the case so far this season for The Gunners as they followed up their impressive Champions League win in the week with a defeat at the hands of Everton. Its been a struggle so far for Arsenal and two wins from eight games is far from acceptable as the Manager said after the game ;

" The buck stops with me to be honest and we cant keep sitting here saying how we should win on paper, games aren't won on paper as we keep finding out and the start to the season has put royally in the brown stuff if Im honest with you. We can turn it round that Im confident of but we need to pull our fingers out and soon ".

Barnsley 2-1 Burnley

A solid performance for once! Yet again, HA and TA resulted in us conceding first but a change up to C got us well and truly back into the game and although a draw would’ve been fair - we finally got some luck as we crucially needed a victory as those around us won or drew. GG mate all the best for the season.

Stoke 3-0 Leicester

One of those games where the Randominator isn't on your side. but sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't that's the way it goes.
We slightly edged it stats-wise but ended up looking like we were well beaten, just not a clinical day, and our keeper was bribed
To be fair Stoke had more shots on target. One of our old players Sakai came back to haunt us, with a goal and man of the match performance, Bastard! Powell also picked up his 5th yellow, so will miss a game.
The only positives were some good defensive abs, and yup that's it
Good game Bridgey

BHA - 1 - 0 Liv

"We go again"

Only those who try are the ones who fall.. Brighton stole a late victory which puts us a bit back in the league leaderboards, however our full focus is to get a win over Stoke to maybe get to the top of the leagye for once in my life. Frustrating match but well deserved win for Peter.

GG Peter

Spurs 1 - 1 Canaries

Playing D tactic is never easy and things got much worse when Dominic Calvert-Lewin got the opening goal for the visitors. We fought bravely and got a much deserved equliser through Mohammed Kudus. But getting the win didn’t happen and two points dropped from my point of view.

Well played Steve.
