The cross couldn’t have been any better.

[Buzzo]

He even timed his run to perfection to then somehow do that arguably trickier than scoring.

86m quid. Has there been a bigger waste of money in the Premier League?

And how do they get him & Rashford off their books with the wages they are on. It’s a thing of beauty

Antony’s got to be the worst or close to it

City signed some whoppers and the prices were huge at the time in their early splurge days - Mangala cost around 45m over 10 years ago, Jack Grealish also rarely gets spoken about.

Mudryk cost more than Antony, Lukaku also cost them 90m and flopped, Torres bombed there for 50m. Rian Brewster for like 25m was mad, Pogba, nDombele, Sancho, massive fees and they bombed.

Bournemouth 1 up against Newcastle, really impressive start from them - not seen many teams battling the Newcastle midfield as well as they are. Will be interesting to see if they can maintain it.

Huijsen and Kerkez I would hope we are interested in, especially the former. Rarely seen a 19 yo centre back look as complete as him despite the tiny amount of games he has played in his career to date.

[rudedog]

They are 2-1 up now, great game

[rudedog]

Watching that first half, I can see Bournemouth causing us big problems

[Buzzo]

I think there are a number of teams like Bournemouth who will cause all the ‘top’ teams big problems. Bournemouth have already beaten Arsenal and City.

[Buzzo]

1-3 Bournemouth!

VAR 1-2

I don’t see why VAR couldn’t have stepped in in exactly the same way for the first Arsenal goal v Spurs…?

[Kenneth]

Whenever you watch Newcastle and arsenal you quickly realise just how disadvantaged teams are when they don’t throw themselves to the ground constantly. It makes a massive difference to the decisions given over the course of 90 mins, especially in games when every foul is a yellow. Everyone expects that part of the role of the referee is to minimise cheating, but they encourage it hugely.

VAR can disallow a goal but not a corner. Even if the corner leads to a goal.
