Oh for christsake, we have a load of useless International football now then. Still, least it will give Palmer a break. Looks like Saka is out too, which will be good for him to rest and recuperate

Yeah that's something at least. I understand some people enjoy the international stuff, but i just find so incredibly boring.

i think with the fixture congestion from club football they need to rethink the nations league, which most people dont give a crap about. It is also leading to a lot more injuries

leading to a lot more fake injuries as clubs don't want to risk their players and I don't blame them

the other thing about international breaks is that goldbridge is on 3 times per day talking more and more outlandish crap as the days progress

Lineker is stepping down from MOTD at the end of season. Gotta be honest, not watched MOTD in years.

luke shaw's last game for Man U was in february. He was injured, was reported fit for the last few games of the season, but didn't appear. He then went with England to the euros, played 1 game, got injured and hasn't played for Man U since. He is not well liked at united now

I have no issues with Bentancur facing a suspension over his offense.

However how has he got a similar punishment to Osmajic for Preston, who bit a Blackburn player on his upper back?

I see great logic and morality coming from the Football world.

I have no idea what happened or when ..

Seems strange of he made racist remarks about his friend and teammate !!!!??!

I’m sure it must be more complicated than that ..

Bentancur was apparently in tears when he apologised face to face with Son

I don't know what was exactly said either tbf, other than the fact that he said a slur during an interview on a Uruguyan TV Channel.

I just don't get how his offense is comparable in the eyes of the Football world, to someone that is being violent on the Football pitch?

If Osmajic is getting an 8 game ban, then Bentancur should be getting a 1 or 2 game ban.

And if Bentancur is going to get a 7 game ban, then Osmajic should at the very least be facing a 15 game ban, personally I would argue for longer.

Saying a racial slur should never be comparable to biting someone, what is Football coming to that they think that the two incidents are comparable?

Bentancur was asked by a fan if he could have spurs shirt and he replied would he like Son's name on it, it's a bonus because it could be Son's brother, they all look the same

on paper this weekend got quite a few nice matches i think

Arsenal vs a very much in form Nottingham Forest (who would've thought that to be a 4th vs 5th place game tbh)


Fulham vs Wolves, i can really see there being a slight chance for the Wolves to win very crucial points



Villa has it easy vs Palace you'd normally say, Villa home are quite a force to be reckoned with, and Palace are utter *****



Ipswich vs Man United, it is not really ever the manager's fault honestly, new coach will take time to adjust to, i can see Ipswich stealing a point here tbf



Man City vs Spurs, City will deffo lose points few more times but not this weekend i feel, i also feel a Haaland Hattrick incoming (deffo see him aiming for some goalscorer records honestly this season)


Liverpool away against Southampton, even if away, i can see them walking over southampton with ease and still with quite some energy in the tank lol



my pre-match predictions

Cole Palmer and Joao Felix both fit and start

Love these two players


Also nice to see Nicolas Jackson doing so well as I said from the beginning that I saw a good player in him but just needed games and more confidence

Don’t like these games where one team
plays ( Chelsea) play in unfamiliar colours ( all white ) against a team playing in their usual colours ( all blue )

Why aren’t refs / VAR protecting the flair players like Palmer and Felix

BOTH have had two red card tackles put on them in the first half .. only two yellow cards shown

There is a definite likeness between Steve Cooper and Cole Palmer
