Lost in the chaos of the Man City - Arsenal game yesterday is the news that Rodri was injured and it appears to be a season ending injury. That is a significant loss for the defending champs.

After actually spending money for the first time since the Capello era this summer, Roma have in the span of a week:

1) Fired Daniele de Rossi as manager,

2) Seen their CEO resign,

3) Their owners have bought Everton.

Never a dull moment.

Cole Palmer has become the first player to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League game. Palmer scored 2 more goals in the first 45 minutes than Saints have scored in 5 Premier League games this season.

He should have another two. A post and a near miss, both alone on the goalie.

Long way to go yet

Just saw the Anthony Gordon "penalty" and sorry but I don't get it - If a goalie comes out to challenge and doesn't make contact and the player flops to the ground, then why is a spot kick awarded?!? It held up on VAR as well.

You be the judge...

Anyone into MLS here? Or are we mostly Premier League (or other Euro leagues) fans? I don't remember.

Mostly Premier League and other Euro leagues, but everything footy related is good.

If not after that losing to Porto on Thursday should seal it.

Just an absolutely terrible manager.

It seems like that unexpected FA Cup win over Man City prolonged his stay which in retrospect looks like a really bad decision.

The Special One is having some fun in Turkiye lol


The tweet was deleted, but he put a laptop on a pedestal to highlight the ref's poor decision.

Let's check in on the Cambodia Premier League - The ref awarded a penalty kick on a shockingly bad call as the player kicking the ball hit his own arm. The coach of the team penalized was not pleased to say the least as he entered the field of play and headbutted the ref. Tempers were stil flaring at the end of the game.

How about Jonathan David scoring from the spot today as Lille defeat Real Madrid 1-nil in Champions League action?

Also, Duran catches Neuer off his line and makes no mistake...
