I met up with a another NSC this week, we discussed relegation candidates and I said don’t write off WBA.
Based on: their first two games. They bossed Leicester in every way in the first half, last week they tore Everton to shreds and were more than their match until Gibbs got himself sent off. Both expensively assembled opponents. WBA have a really exciting bunch of forwards with pace to burn, guile, who score for fun. Imho it was a huge gaff by West Ham in selling Diangana, no wonder Noble was seething.
They’ll no doubt concede loads, but this WBA team is so different to their physical, horrible to watch teams of the last 25 years.

I genuinely think he has 1-2 more games and he's out unless there is a huge improvement.... https://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/next-manager-to-leave-post
He's 18/1 at the moment.... that can't last !
Don't agree. 3 points gained today for potential relegation rivals is as bad as 3 points gained in May.
I always look at the other fixtures and think - who are we more likely to finish above of the two teams playing ? and then back the other team - so Palace v Everton (come on Everton) , West Brom v Chelsea (come on Chelsea) etc.

Can almost hear Lineker and pals breathing a huge sigh of relief as 'final whistle gate' and other bad decisions are buried in the middle or near the end of MOTD. Mustn't bad mouth Manure!

Well this is a bit of a kick in the balls after earlier. God if only we could take chances like West Brom have when playing well against the big teams. Could easily have been us 3 up at half time against united today or Chelsea last week.

I'll get over it. We have no idea who will and won't be relegation candidates and we ourselves look perfectly capable of getting enough points to not worry about other teams. If an when that changes, I will change my opinion but Fulham, Sheff Utd, Southampton, Burnley and West Ham to name but a few, look worse than WBA right now and there is no way I am going to watch every early season game through my fingers in case a team that the masses have decided is rubbish win a game they are not expected to.

I see Manure on first, the broadcast media bias towards them is incredible,

At this rate, next season we could be watching "Frank Lampard's Accrington Stanley"

He’s not black enough for that job. Swindon Town is the lowest managerial position the FA will sanction for Frank. Sol Campbell meanwhile is a shoe-in for the asst. manager’s position at AFC Lyme Regis.
Ok. People are different.
I have always watched other games with this thought in mind. It doesn't help my nerves as I can't even relax 3 games into the season

I agree, although it is the weekend I'm sure the average age Man U fan should be in bed by 11 pm and certainly won't make the Sunday morning early repeat.

Great defensive display by Chelsea 
Lampard wont be around long, he was a stop gap.

On the flip side, the 3/1 I took on Arsenal to finish in the top four will be clipped further if they get something at Anfield on Monday night. Mikel Arteta is doing brilliantly at the Emirates.

77% possession and 3-0 down.
It's a funny old game.

The comeback is beginning. 3-1.
One of their English youngsters, Mason Mount.

It was 50/1 that last weekend's goals total is beaten. Not a bad start. 12 goals in 3 matches. Only 33 to go!
