Grealish is one of these blokes you just want to punch in the face.

He nearly was when he nutmegged Duffy and winked at the raging Vale fans at Notts County

Terrific result for Bournemouth yesterday.After their first half performance I didn't give them a chance but fair play to them for coming back and turning it around.

Next up Man.City.!!!

Another fine win for Blades last night !

Out of interest, I looked at their starting XI. All highly experienced players but, until this season very, very few appearances between them at the highest level.

It really just goes to show that football is not rocket science. Or is it just that the Greed Is Good League is actually not as good as the media try and make out ? 

But that said, what a job Chris Wilder (who cut his managerial teeth in Sunday morning football) is doing and should be named manager of the year right now ! 

Couldn't agree more and this interview after the match against Leicester today tells you all you need to know about Chris Wilder.

Sheffield United are an excellent example of a team that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Fair comment. 

It'll be interesting to see if they can maintain that next season or sink towards the bottom. Often the second year in the top flight can be harder than the first, once that initial enthusiasm has dissipated a bit and other teams take you more seriously.

It's shaping up to be more competitive next year. MU are starting to look very good, with the addition of Fernandez and the emergence of Greenwood. City will buy 1-2 more. Liverpool the same. And haven't Chelsea got a couple lined up? Jose has probably got until Xmas because Spurs are going backwards since Poch left.

Can only play 11 players at a time,  it is the depth that is the problem if injuries come along.. A fine achievement, it is a matter of keeping hold of your players when they are tempted away for big money to sit on a bench or the stand. There is always the chance that one or two of the big 6 will under-perform and open up a Europa place.

Two horse race for the title with Brighton,Sheff.Utd and Newcastle getting relegated.

Hope you didn't put too much money on that mate!

And Villa stay up because the goal line technology, which never breaks down, broke down against the Blunts.

Watford down. Karma for sacking pearson perhaps? 

Feel for Bournemouth. I wonder if young local lad Ramsdale will get picked up by another prem club.

Bournemouth are considering pursuing a compensation claim against Hawk-Eye,whose mistake may have contributed to their relegation from the PL.

This follows Sheffield United's goal against Aston Villa which was not detected by Hawk-Eye's goal technology system.

If the ref had bothered to go over and look at the VAR screen he would have seen it was a clear goal.
