Swathes of empty seats. Very good. They've been rebuilding both their stadiums recently.
There are 12 teams in our top flight. Which if you knew anything about, which you clearly don't, would know are vastly underfunded compared to Rangers and Celtic.
Nice one on supporting Fort William, who are useless. I believe it was Rothes who beat them last?
Well I know a great deal more than you but as you like to have the last word ... I'll gift you an open goal on this and won't respond. Do your blerst.

Well, we both got it wrong. Parker binned, which honestly I find surprising given the start Bournemouth have had to their season.

I think Parker got the boot because of his criticism of the club's unwillingness to "Invest" (Piss money up the wall) rather than that one result.

Christ alive we were poor against Southampton.
Yes, we have injuries piling up but there's no fight in the side at the moment.

A good opportunity for Rangers to give the young pretenders a run out tonight in the cup, although it proved a bit tighter than I'm sure they planned but we move on and look in good shape with quite a crop of talent assembled from all over. Fingers crossed some of them make the breakthrough this season.
Watched the game and yes , I’d say the same as a neutral . Funny start to the season ! Slow slow start for some players ?!

Pre-season turmoil not helping eg late out of the traps in the transfer market.
No DoF and TT too involved in those activities = eye off the coaching ball.
Strange start to the season for a number of teams.
Things can only get better...
...hopefully!

Liverpool put 9 past them, they sack their Manager and Wolves fail to score!

Unlucky the Toon! So close to a well deserved point at Anfield.
No idea how it will go against Leicester tomorrow, but fingers and toes crossed.

Unlucky the toon? That was THE most disgraceful time-wasting performance I've seen at Anfield - and believe me, I've seen a few. Pope was the worst culprit; repeatedly dropping onto the floor to hold the ball that he'd collected at waist height. Their players kicking the ball away constantly. Even after Liverpool equalised, they STILL chewed up any second they could. Several of their players dropping to the floor hoping the ref would take sympathy and hold up the onslaught they were facing. We came away feeling justice had been done and to hear the Geordies going back to their coaches having the temerity to complain the ref had allowed the time they thought they'd stolen off us! We chuckled as we passed them.

Ok, fair play. I watched the game as a neutral and said what I thought. This is what the BBC said : 'Liverpool scrambled over the line in what was a largely unimpressive performance'.
The BBC are wrong. It was the time-wasting, kick-the-ball-away, cheating, con-the-ref play-acting that was clearly a Newcastle tactic that disrupted play and repeatedly stopped Liverpool from building momentum. I know I have a bias here but so does BBC man, Geordie Robson who came out with that! As I understand it, joelinton was the winner on the night of the Fallon D'floor award.

Southampton who deservedly won at the weekend were a nightmare - every time they had a throw-in in range of our (Chelsea's) box, their long throw-in "specialist" took an age to stroll over from way across the pitch after one of their other players had already trotted over to make out they were going to take it. Frustrating!
I get it when the last few minutes of a match are running down but not the whole game.
Referee's seem blind to much of this nonsense.
Southampton also made a big deal of every tackle that resulted in a foul to them too.
For balance, three of our players did it once apiece.
Drives me mad whether the culprit is "us"
or "them".
