Brighton played some fantastic football. Glimpses of united clicking but not nearly enough
Disallowed goal chamged the flow of the game. Zirkzee had to see his teammate coming in at back post to finish
Another fortune spent by united. Nothing changed.
Piggybacking off our own model I see. :wink:Quote:

three wins out of three give sunderland their best start to a season for 99 years :shocked:
Great save but Watkins should score that

Hasn't been Watkins day at all.
Good to see Martinez make a mess of that. The guy is a bellend
Arsenal are the real deal. You can’t help but feel sorry for them, and Klopp’s Liverpool, who would dominate in most eras but up against Pep and his side which is probably the best English side there’s been.
7 PL hat-tricks for haaland in 68 games, to put it into context Owen 8 in 326 games Kane 8 in 320 games Henry 8 in 258 games.
Some might say it's because of the amount of chances City create a game, still incredible numbers.
That is some stat as Henry played in unbeatable teams also 👏Quote:

Celtic ahead within 3 minutes again. See how St Mirren fair compared to us.
Celtic 1 up after a little over 2 minutes
Great finish from McGregor
Long afternoon ahead for The Buddies.
Celtic obviously have better players than everyone but the difference in their mindset from kick off is night and day. You look at us from kick off yesterday, we barely broke in to a jog for the first half an hour. A bit desire and willingness to run goes a long way.
Whoever’s playing Celtic now is in for a long day unfortunately.Quote:

It might not be a good rule or one that we agree with but it’s easy to understand it. It could lead to rash, unnecessary tackling and injury and it very often means the defending team get the free kick nearer their own goals rather than where the offence is committed.
Idahs end product has been abysmal

He’s just playing to the gallery. Loads of armchair fans will be sitting there agreeing with him.Quote:

I suppose the only ones really enjoying this is the Celtic fans , such a one-sided game it’s actually boring. Shots St mirren 1/0 , Celtic 10/6 .
Celtic are streets ahead of the rest of us. Absolute streets.
3-0 Celtic
Could be about 5 or 6 already

Once we use to have a 2 horse race for the title, now it's a 1 horse canter. 🐴Quote:

Must be very weird to be a Celtc player or coach. How do you get motivated every day when you know you're 99% likely to win every domestic game and stroll to another title.Quote:

I don't think they will be any more or less motivated than most teams in the league. They simply have far better players than every one in the league, and that will win you the vast majority of games.Quote:

They are motivated because they are professionals. The better the professional the better the outcome usually in any sport.Quote:

1-0 Motherwell. Paul McGinn diving header.

Edinburgh's top flight teams are in a bit of a state at the start of the season.
Early indications are they've appointed very well on the managerial front. Win today and they'd be eight points clear of us after just three games.Quote:

Still makes our league very boring. At least there are several sides in England who can give Man City a tough game.Quote:

Both Gray and Naismith on the same coaching programme. Perhaps they are both applying their learning and it’s the tactics of the programme that are at fault for what we are seeing?Quote:

i see they may get a big break before the return leg with Plzen with a fee agreed with a German club for their star defender so probably away before thursday
haw haw 2-0 Motherwell
Hearts only above us by a goal difference of +1.
Jesus, Hearts are atrocious.
What a state. 🤭Quote:
