Forest rewarded for their time wasting by getting 11 minutes to score.

Fulham went down to 10 men in the 84th min, and Arsenal still got to play nearly 20 mins with an extra man.

Joao Paliniha is such a good player. Already making a difference for Fulham again.

Amazed none of the top 6-7 clubs have gone for him given how bad some of the central midfields are already looking.

He appeared to pull (or arm lock) the Fulham defender's arm causing him to fall down awkwardly and was down during the build-up and eventual goal.
Then the player stayed down in the box, Arsenal refused to kick the ball out and the downed Fulham player was keeping Nketiah onside for the goal. And they thought our goal reeked of BS.

Expensive and is 28 years of age. We had incredible DM in the last years in Palhinha and Ugarte. Here's hoping Hjulmand will be as good as those.

Everton 3 games 3 losses, no goals scored. Reminds me of the Arsenal start couple of seasons back

I think the play was onside anyway, even if we ignore Bassey.

And they keep buying portuguese strikers, first Chermiti, now Beto from Udinese, so they plan on keeping the goal drought going.

Zouma being captain after beating the shit out of an animal is a disgrace. David Moyes continues to baffle me.

28 isn't that ancient for someone who's a DM and has a specific area of the pitch to constantly cover rather than being a box to box 8.

I think he'd be a great fit for Liverpool based on what they've got infront of him but they dithered all summer, went in last minute for Caciedo and decided on Endo who's 30 himself.

You also have Saudi's in play now given Liverpool just collected 50m + for two midfielders in their 30s pretty much.

I suppose that’s progress - comprehensively beaten last year but United needed the ref to bail them out today. :rolleyes:

Endo is a good player and was cheap because of the combination of age and the fact that he had a dream of playing in the Premier League. It was his last chance and the club wasn't as intransigent since he was a loyal and trustworthy player for them.

In what regards Palhinha, I saw fees of 70m thrown around. Fulham won't budge since he's the most important midfielder at the club. Although I agree 28 is a decent age for a quality DM, from what I read on rawk they would prefer a younger and slightly cheaper player like Doucoure. They ended up with Endo on special circunstancies.

JWP looking like a decent signing so far. Done more for them than what Mount has for us…

I’m loving these continuous shots at United during games that have nothing to do with us.

What the feck has Mount to do here. Won a game 3 -2 and the fans are complaining about a player who didn't even play.

Come on mate. You got incredibly lucky in the first 4'. Then your luck run out. It's as simple as that. Both the red card and pen was correct.
