[Albion] Premier League 26-28/09

[Starry]

combination of all three.

good against liverpool, lucky against fulham. confidence in all.

no way bambo scores that header last seaaon, he'd never have gone against the keeper like that.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

5 minutes added, so 10 minutes for Sheff United to get an equaliser.

 

[Bladders]

Leeds have beaten the worst two teams currently in the league .

Don’t get too excited .

Ref blew exactly on 95 minutes. Like ref's usually do.

Are Leeds lucky, good or riding the confidence wave from last year and wuil be found out?

Fulham at home and a totally out of form SU team away, we’ll see. They’ll rightly be in confident mood but they have been helped by the two fixtures.

Even with a sub for Leeds during those 5 minutes. Inconsistent morons. How hard can it be?

Good result I think. Leeds won't go down, sheff United look like they'll struggle this year so keeps them without a point yet

Lot of soppy man buns in the Leeds team

I think that's why they are being linked with Cantwell. Another one for the bun boys.


I say this as a baldy, so perhaps I should STFU

It’s far too early to make “they’ll be safe” etc predictions.

Other than Fulham, every squad has strengths and/or a decent defence.

Is it me or is there more players throwing themselves to the ground from set pieces at any kind of contact than pre VAR? Some of it is beyond pathetic, so many people seem to just fall over at any kind of contact now.

IMO VAR should only be used if there is a clear and obvious error, not for every single goal scored. Toenails and 50/50 penalty or non penalty decisions should not be used to cancel out goals and VAR should not be involved. You might as well bin refs the way it’s going now.

They are.

With multiple handball shouts in the penalty box in every single game.

There was a time when two teams when out to simply play football.

Didn't watch the Sheff Utd game but have seen the score. They must be in all kinds of trouble if they can't score past Leeds...

 

[pasty]

Think that's the loudest "****ing hell" I've ever heard on Sky when Dier put that header wide just now.

Both Sheff Utd and Burnley look toothless so far. Functional and boring on the eye.

Spuds appear to have taken up the woodwork challenge from our record breaking effort yesterday.

Not going to lie I’m shocked by how good Bamford has looked, in the championship last season he seemed to miss 20 chances every game. Sheffield United look in real trouble to me.

Bamford gets hammered because he is so posh. His family is the B in JCB, as you probably know. Public school educated, he speaks three languages, and turned down an offer to study at Harvard.

How can he be any good at football with a background like that? But his work rate for the team (especially the tracking back) is immense, he has a surprising burst of pace, is a good header of the ball and scores with both feet. Three goals in three PL games isn't too shabby is it? Pleased for him.

The best news is the clean sheet, that and the fact we won despite a well below par performance. Meslier made two exceptional saves, so gets the plaudits but Koch was immense today. Ben who?

He cost a third of what we offered for White so it looks like a we dodged a financial bullet there...

If I had put a lot of money on relegation for Leeds, as I know some of you guys have, I would be worried. We look brimful of confidence.
