Looked a snidey attempt to hurt him for me?He did slip but he still didn't need to kick out at Maddison. Looked to me like a deliberate kick to bring Maddison down.

Probably right but he gets away with so much, what goes around etc.Never a red for me - games gone soft
Yeh I’m not complaining about who it wasProbably right but he gets away with so much, what goes around etc.
At the end of the day, he may or may not have slipped and he may or may not have deserved to have been sent off, but remember, this is Fernandes who tried to get one of our players sent off in the FA cup semi final a couple of years ago at Wembley, throwing himself to the ground near the corner flag as if he had been snipered. So just enjoy the moment.He did slip but he still didn't need to kick out at Maddison. Looked to me like a deliberate kick to bring Maddison down.
Oh don't be too hard on them. After all it was Beaky who told them they were going to the next level. The best CEO football has ever seen never gets anything wrong.True enough but after all their willy waving at the end of last season, I’m enjoying their rapid recalibration of expectations.
Except Spurs have real pace in defence too…..

Don't get me wrong, I can't stand the guy and wish he'd get sent off just for walking on the pitch. Today, I think he fully deserved the red.At the end of the day, he may or may not have slipped and he may or may not have deserved to have been sent off, but remember, this is Fernandes who tried to get one of our players sent off in the FA cup semi final a couple of years ago at Wembley, throwing himself to the ground near the corner flag as if he had been snipered.

Is the correct answer.Really? Can't believe the pundits are trying to excuse it with the slip. He does slip but it's not the slip which causes him to wave his foot out and catch Maddison. The fact that Maddison makes a bit of a meal of it is irrelevant.
Well done Ipswich - young Liam Delap looks like he’s going to be some player. Man City can’t hoard them all, but £20m for a young English striker with that much potential looks a snip. I wonder if they have a buy back clause? He looks and plays like a Haaland clone. Obviously nowhere near that level yet but he’s only 21…
As for Manchester United… ha ha ha HA! Very harsh red, but I don’t give a shit, Fernandes is one of my most hated players in football history, the rat faced knacker.
The excellent Grauniad football coverage puts it perfectly;

Shambolic mess sums it up perfectly. Manchester United were absolutely shite. At home, to “lads it’s Spurs”, who own manager is under just as much pressure at the moment at Ten Hag.
They made our first half performance yesterday look positively organised and in control.
Absolutely brilliant watch. And I f***ing hate Fernandes.
I’m sure we’ll have learned from Saturday’s mess…Shame that the shambolic mess that Tottenham will be exploiting gleefully next is our defence.
To be fair that all depends on the personnel in our defence. If JP and Veltman are back then it looks a bit different IMO.Shame that the shambolic mess that Tottenham will be exploiting gleefully next is our defence.
I did notice that when 10 man United pressured them they did not look anywhere near as good as when they were given space by a stand off United in the first half. Pressure them from the off, which we will do and who knows?Shame that the shambolic mess that Tottenham will be exploiting gleefully next is our defence.
Graham Potter's a pundit on Sky Sports right now. Bournemouth v Saints.
Agreed. Trouser tightness in pundits is a big factor in their credibility.His trousers are way too tight around his groin - looking v uncomfortable.
