    Oh yes, their are roughly around a dozen different supports covering 2 or 3 divisions. It is a footballing madhouse, but its great fun.

    A very happy Adrián after saving the last penalty in the UEFA Super Cup.

    Edit: But this though…

    So proud of the Norwich boys yesterday and the perfect response to our opening defeat against Liverpool the week before. A shame about the late Newcastle goal but for me as always was the performance from the boys.

    Next up at home is Chelsea so an important win indeed! Well done boys! OTBC!!!!!

    Well? Who can say? Against the big clubs it will be hard for opportunities and if you do get one? That is where and when you make it count. For me their are probably about 6 to 8 teams that you need to target must wins if not a draw. Then their is always games where you expect nothing but may fluke a result?

    Like the Liverpool game, we need to just go out and do our thing against Chelsea, especially at home as the fans as always will be right behind them regardless. And seeing as they are clearly not up to speed yet? You never know?!!

    What I've seen of Norwich after two games is certainly promising; I think they might get a few surprise results this season, and I definitely expect them to get results against many of the teams – especially those that haven't had the best start. Playing at home against Chelsea is an advantage too.

    Yeah, I am hopeful for a draw? But who knows until the day.

    The Norwich-Chelsea game definitely feels like a match that can go either way at this point. Sure hope it's on TV here!

    You hold the record for biggest divers last season in the PL, so you might want to wind your neck in on that one.

    A draw was probably a fair result in the end, though Ole needs to pick a first choice penalty taker. Half glass full United are a work in progress we played well in the first half, the number 10 position is a concern as Lingard is not the answer and his form is not great.

    Wolves will take points of other top six sides this season at home

    Mark Lawrenson said he would struggle to get 10 in the Premiership. He has four after two games. God, Lawro is a joke sometimes.

    Sp*rs had the same amount of bookings for diving last season. They weren't booked for even half the situations they did so, though.

    Inconsistent refereeing in these situations is a topic on its own.

    Also, here's a stat going back a few years (2011/12 -2016/17):

    Referees obviously hated Sunderland as they were barely in the PL in those years

    He clearly pays no attention outside the Premier League.

    I’m sure Spurs haven’t bottled the PL after 3 games.

    They will finish above Arsenal, but I'm certainly going to enjoy this result until next weekend.

    Sounds wrong but it'll take the pressure of mike cashley. Let's hope we all have a good season. winning and losing is part of the game. What happened to True Geordie and the kick off? lol.
