Today's Football 2016 / 2017 Season

The amount of goals they keep shipping would worry me. When you're losing by a one or 2 goal margin then your defence probably just needs a bit of work. If you're regularly shipping 3-4 like Stoke and West ham then it's very difficult to arrest it.

Both of them already have a shocking goal difference for just September.

Big factor that, the goal difference. Just IMO but when I bet on lower/non league champions I always look at goal difference first. There's always someone who finished 3rd last season with something like +25 GD. They're nailed on favourites to win it the next season in my book. Same goes the other way with a big negative GD.
Although we came 4th with -1, but we're Everton aren't we.

Apparently Bojan Krkic's JOINING Serbian squad in next few days. Really strange, he already played for Spain once in qualifiers. Not sure what FIFA rules are, he's a quality player, but not convinced on that decision. Cannot get into Spain's squad so let's change nations. Meh.

Err football doesn't work like that. Spurs dominated Sunderland and for better finishing would have been a cricket score.

haha what do you mean football doesn't work like? the actual score doesn't count?

Harry Kane confirmed ankle ligament damage. Obviously if it was Lukaku he'd be out for 4 months, watch Kane waltz back into the Spurs' starting XI in 2 weeks. A great chance for us to put some points between ourselves and Spurs... they don't have another goalscorer like him.

No. His dad is a Serb, played in our league. He has a Serbian name and surname. He's got no Kosovo connections whatsoever.

Can easily see all three promoted clubs going right back down.

I think Boro have enough about them to potentially stay up if they can keep their squad fit and find some consistency to their game.

Goal line technology paying for itself all in one game here

following us on twitter while watching Dortmund demolish Wolfsburg. since that loss to RB Leipzig a little over a week ago, if the current holds, they've won three matches with an aggregate 17-1.

It took Robben seven whole minutes to score after they put him in. That left foot. (shakes head)
