The Round Ball Game - II

[antongould]

Eddie Howe was bitterly disappointed not to take three points away from Selhurst, despite his team having no shots on target. (They would have won by a cross unluckily deflected as an own goal by Marc Guéhi.) Not as disappointed as Palace would have been not to at least have snatched a thoroughly deserved draw right at the end, having largely dominated the game and had 16 shots on target.

Sounds fair to me ......

Shocking display from Foxes at Brentford 4-1. Perhaps going with three central defenders added another layer of disorientation for a team of already delicate disposition.
What can Ruud do before Tuesday night v West Ham?

Very unlucky Saints. And another fine last gasp win for the Owls.

Rams 1 Owls 2

Seem to be sticking to the task - ending the weekend in the top half of the div!

A worldy from BB , Cloughers.
saints have an opportunity to recover from Weds nights hammering ,albeit with a thoroughly makeshift side, and not helped by an incredibly stupid red card, with a gentle away trip to Villa on Satdee.

Everyone happy with their Third Round Cup draw?

Foxes v QPR

Rangers did actually thump us in the Championship last season.

Lots of league action before then of course.

Brentford 4 Toon 2

Doom, Gloom and other seasonal things

Owls 1 PNE 1

Seems a drab performance yielded a point which surprisingly raised us to a haedy 9th - thanks to losses of teams above us!

Few managers can have escaped the axe with a record as bad as Russell Martin’s. The vultures are getting ready to do vulture stuff, it seems.

Poaching is more of a potential worry in that scenario.

Things are starting to look grim for the TBs.

They do still have 69 points to play for!

A long time ago in a minor cup far, far away someone beat the Hangers on penalties …. Germany perhaps

Nor the Owls but we did need extra time at Cardiff in 2005!

Tuesday night - Owls 0 Blackburn 1 - usual story of plenty of chances on goal (16 cf their 8)but no efficient finisher.
