Lost to palace, battered them all game, they score at the end after we miss a hatful. What can you do.
luck has turned

Manchester City 6-0 MANCHESTER UNITED

When your playing 3 midfielders in defense this kind of result will happen.

We can't say much but what was effectively a free hit for City proved that. We couldn't tweak or change anything and in a season where we haven't had what we deserve, this result was a one sided event.

The season is finished, was fun while it lasted.

Liverpool 0 Spurs 1

Ecstatic with this win, despite not showing the aptitude for C at any point this season we tried it and it worked! Hojlund missed a pen as well. Now we really are suffering from vertigo as we go to the top of the table. I know it won’t last but it’s something to enjoy for the minute, next up is the selection lottery that is Everton. Whatever happens now it’s been a great start to the season.
Cheers Livi

Cannot believe my result. My keeper has no hands!

Liverpool 0 Spurs 1

Another counter attacking approach to contend with and another defeat. Out of frustration of struggling to score recently we played attacking from the off and despite surrendering the tactical bonus throughout we created more than enough chances to have come away with something but it's just one of those spells where it's not happening for us. We were the team with more shots on target but again we just can't find the back of the net. It really is a regular occurrence.

It actually could have been worse with Onana conceding yet another penalty but it was ballooned over the bar.

Frenkie de Jong is arriving this week with Guirassy and back up midfielder Khedira departing and it's time to start trying some different systems. Can't go on playing well and not winning, it's a results business and ours need to improve quickly if we don't want to fall even further off the pace. The money spent on de Jong is leaving us with a wafer thin squad though so that is a concern.

Anyway well played Tim, top of the table and going well.

Watford 1 - 5 Chelsea

Demolition job done on the road to another London team by the spice boys in blue as we smash up another area of London to lay claim to as our own. KDB was the star here scoring a hat trick. It's funny to think that 1 week ago Outten was claiming Phillips was a better goalscorer than KDB, even though we'd only had him a week, the clown. Now KDB is up to 7 goals for the season and Phillips is on 3. So yeah, whatever that point was Outten it was well made haha. We're really mixing it up tactically nicely too, the pre season drills are starting to kick in and click with the players. We play exploitatively and remain GTO unexploitable and it's bloody glorious. I want to bring a sense of fear to this Chelsea team that they didn't have in the past. I want teams to dred playing us. To over think things the night before. We're up to the 5th spot in the Prem which is good considering our early season slips mostly due to the long goalkeeper and striker injuries, but, I think we're better than that so we're looking onwards and upwards. Next up, another London team in West Ham to take apart.

Arsenal 1 - 0 Cardiff City

Very surprised to see a no show from Matt after doing so well lately so hopefully everything is ok with him outside of the game. With JB being very lenient and affording the visitors a 442 N sheet we still had a job to and although did get a much needed win, we made hard work of it if Im honest.

Another goal from Asprilla who is really turning into a great signing for us turned out to be the only goal of the game. Not the best of performances but a vital three points on the board for us.

Played mate.

Arsenal 1 - 0 Cardiff City

Cardiff City fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal on Friday evening. The match saw Cardiff dominate possession with 55%, but they were unable to convert their control into goals, leaving Arsenal to secure the victory with a single goal from Y_Asprilla in the 14th minute.

The Bluebirds had several opportunities, including a golden chance for D_Zapata early on, but failed to hit the target, with all seven of their attempts going off target. Despite a solid defensive performance, particularly from J_Vestergaard, who was named Cardiff's best player, the team couldn't find a way past Arsenal's goalkeeper, R_Owusu_Oduro.

After the match, Cardiff City manager Matt Rose apologised to the fans and opposition manager, Darren Humphris for a communication mix-up that led to neither he nor his assistant manager being present for the game. Rose, who was away attending a wedding in England, expressed regret over the situation, acknowledging the impact it may have had on the team's performance.

Cardiff will need to regroup quickly as they look to bounce back in their next fixture, taking the positives from their possession dominance but clearly needing to sharpen their finishing in front of goal.
