I was exceptionally released from "Clothes Shopping" in Chester
~ because the dog sneezed and I offered to stay with her. I must remember that

Hammers v Jose, watching whilst they would be dis-embarking the train in Chester. It's full of Manchester/Liverpool footie WAGS on a Saturday in the shops they visit.Very up-market... blokes in courdoroy jackets with elbow patches tend to stick out ... anyway

Terrific match... I think Andy C could get into that Utd side, as a defender ~ he's got the pace

Lukaku has pace, down the wings but he's got to be in the box to receive the cross. Social Media, and the Beeb made much of an "off-side" for WHU's first goal. Utter rollox ~imo ~ an I've seen the replays ! 3-1

Quick walk for 'sneezy' and
Blues v Tractors. Home side still having a hangover after beating Leeds,
were 0-2 down by halftime.Faught back second half for a 2-2, but elusive Home Win still...elusive. 2-2

One more quickie walk and
Sarri v Kloppo

Absolutely Fabulous game.
Tactics v Tactics. Energy v Energy.
Hazard Immense in distributing and scoring.
Salah incredible speed and positioning..... but the 'Angel Dust' isn't blessing him so far.
Daniel Sub.... second touch, sends a bender to top-right of the world's richest goalie, for a September entry to any Goal of the Season.
Stunning. Fair Result

1-1

I've cleaned up hooveredand sneezy gets to go station to help carry the shopping back in an hour or so.

A Perfect Day.

Well that was an exciting match to listen to(couldn't watch it) and just seen that wonder goal from Sturridge-has to be contender for goal of the season let alone the month. I said I'd settle for a draw, but I also said we had to hold off Hazard but yet again he did us for pace and scored a great goal. Salah not quite firing yet but give him time he will come good. Next up Napoli in the Champions League-not an easy game and then Man City await.

Nice to see Man City women following Pep's credo re. using the keeper as another outfield player. That scorer has England potential...just one snag.
Once again the BBC shows why it's difficult to be as interested in Women's football as they want us to be:

Meanwhile, if you didn't catch the two goals from Friday night's Wendies v Leeds game, where we hammered them, er, 1-1, then do try to catch them both. The Wednesday scorer would have been trying to convince his team mates at half time that it was clearly a case of 'played for, and got...'

Early sightings of female keepers.

Somewhat harsh I know, but Auntie looks to take main stage on the female game with the Prem the only league not to take second place.

Sackings should start with that clueless tosser Woodward.
Ideally, the Glazers should go. They have no interest or knowledge of football, United is merely a cash-cow for them to prop up their other business interests.
The Glazers might own Utd but they can't afford to run the club as it should be run. hopefully, some billionaire oil baron with a passion for football will come along and restore Utd to the club it once was...(i'm not holding my breath on this one.

Given the brand ownership opportunity and the team colours, I'm amazed that a Chinese money launderer hasn't been knocking already...

I couldn't work out which coverage I get. It's definitely not Sky, so it's the BT Sport coverage that I get with my phone/internet package. It was hard to work out because the relevant watermark, logos aren't there, and the presenters never refer to the station they're presenting for.

MB.... you may have discovered the first counterfeit tv channel

Mean while in TW8 spare a thought for poor Neal Maupay being slapped around by those Birmingham bullies, with one seeing red, a less than pleased Gary Monk was then shown red for verbally abusing the match officials, some fine saves from Lee Camp kept the Bees at bay and the good news for the Blues is they take a point back home.

If you are in need of some vegetables, cabbages are available at Villa Park.

Who takes a cabbage to a football match?
