'Arry been sacked. Retirement fund boosted and we'll get his mug across the screen telling us how good Spuds are.

City started really well last year didn't they? They thrashed a few teams and then as the season progressed, they slipped away. They look very good going forward, as always, but still pretty poor at the back.

Don't worry Spurs fans Jenas has awarded you an extra 2 points for completing the most passes sideways.

Not really nearest or dearest to anyone but me (nearest and second dearest) but can I just point out that Shrewsbury are top of league 1, 5 points clear,  undefeated with only 1 draw.  And they were one of the favourites for relegation having just escaped last year. Oh and plating good football  as well. Would be fantastic to see them in the championship.

Last season they unravelled after getting held by Celtic away in the CL.

Question, Bq, is it Shrews as in 'throws' or Shrews as in 'choose.'

Don't Worry Hazard is here to help

 

Rhymes with choose unless you're one of the county hunting shooting and fishing set.

My brother's old college mate was from Shrewsbury, and he always said Shroosbury. I'll be interested in Bq's answer.

Everton putting a red bird on their shirts... bound to go down well with the fans!

what a goal by valencia

Just when I was about to post United are going full on conservative....

Utd aren't going conservative. The way they're playing I can see them putting 4/5 past everton. Everton are too passive, just like they did against us. 

Oh good,the annual Everton baring their arse for utd match.

Everton is sh*te. Went exactly the same way as the Spud. Sold a star and bought for quantity. How many times does it need to happen for people to learn? 

Everton could nick a goal. Come on

Watching Matic doesn't make me miss him at all. I miss the squad depth but Bakayoko is already an upgrade. Matic offers very little defensively or offensively 

What an idiot. Could have snatched a point but you make a really dumb mistake and tank your own team.

rooney is so bad. he's even too poor for everton. 

United are showing how important it is to have top class players on the bench. The amount of goals they have got from players coming off the bench is already pretty high.

It also helps when the opposition keep giving you goals. Everton are a disaster waiting to happen every game.

They seem to be getting worse and worse. I actually expected Koeman to be making them a better team, but they are going backwards. I don't think it was a smart move relying on a ageing Rooney to play every game up front on his own, he can't do that anymore. Then you have Williams at the back who's best days are well behind him, same with Jagielka and Baines.

Seriously Everton are so poor against top 6 opposition it's pure comical. At least when Martinez were in charge they used to give proper competition. 

Koeman is showing himself to be extremely poor manager at Everton. He should have stayed at Southampton.

They seemed pretty conent to play two DMs and sit on a 1-0 lead for most of the 2nd half. 

4-0 was pretty flattering, I'd like to see them play a good team before I class them above us. They've played nobody including CL competition so far.

The 20 minutes or so before utds second goal reminded me of so many games by us in Jose's last season, it looked a goal for Everton was coming as utd sat on a lead. Only de geas saves lot it at 1-0, then Williams Ballsed it right up.
