Pompey won, three wins out of three & now second (on goal difference) to Posh. And the neighbours lost (thank you Everton).

Arsenal fans are probably thinking of another Emery's catchphrase at the moment. They like the Gunners, but they are awful. Well, probably not that bad...from the reports they could, perhaps should have won it, easily. But Chelsea are also a work in progress. Not terribly convincing for either side's prospects.

0-0 for Forfar in a home game v Stranraer.
A defeat in a cup tie in the amateur game, losing 5-1 after being the better team for 70 minutes and then going into meltdown for the final 20 minutes; we were 1-0 up and then had a stonewall penalty denied, they equalised about 2 minutes later and we went all to shite. We play then again in the league at home on Tuesday so I am hoping we'll bounce back.

Killie are on TV against Rangers at 12.30 today for anyone interested. We've started pretty well this season and probably represent the toughest domestic opponents thus far for the sainted Gerrard, who will want to avoid slipping up.
I've only seen match reports for them and it seems like he's got them playing even dirtier than usual so hopefully we'll emerge with a win and no injuries.

Actually, they have been getting stronger with each passing game and have been a joy to watch the last few games. You know the red card in Aberdeen was rescinded and McCrorie has never been described as being a dirty player but why let that get in the way of old prejudice.
I'm looking forward to today's game, just a shame I rarely go to away games even if it is only 20 minutes drive from here. Difficult one to predict for me especially as Kilmarnock have come out the blocks pretty much where they left off last season but obviously I reckon Rangers should shade a tough encounter.

Like I said, I'm going off match reports. Hadn't known about the rescinded red card, fair enough.
You'd be lucky to get a ticket for today I think. Pretty sure you sold your allocation quickly and with MJ gone we've tightened up on allowing away fans into home sections.

Accy drew yesterday at home to Charlton,so that's a loss,a win and a draw from our first three games in League 1. I would've taken that if offered before the start of the season. Out of the four promoted teams only Coventry are higher than Stanley and that's by a one more goal scored margin. Luton and Wycombe are in the relegation places with just one point each. Yesterday's attendance was something like 2260. Some fans were moaning saying we should be getting more,but that's around 700 more than we'd have got if we'd have played the match in League 2. Charlton brought around 400 fans which was the norm for that division. 700 more fans is around a 40% increase on the League 2 days.
Edit.... I'll be going to our away game at Fleetwood in a month's time,not just for the game itself,but for the 'battle of the Scousers'! Our manager is a bit of a hot head and him and Joey Barton squaring up to each other in the dug outs should be fun!

Hm. Killie have dropped the usually reliable Jamie MacDonald and given a debut to our loanee keeper FROM Watford, Bachmann. Big game to be taking a gamble like that I think!

The commentators love a wee mention of the pitch. There is absolutely no evidence that it causes more injuries than grass. I'm not a fan of it like, but the excuses are laughable. I liked it during the Locke/Clarke/McCulloch era when other managers would blame it for everything before a match, and then beat us...
Anyway, I take it back @Slick - Rangers are playing some decent stuff. Pretty even game really, and given the disallowed goal it's probably a fair scoreline, though the first goal was very lucky.

BT advertising the Motherwell v Rangers game next week using Celtic and Rangers footage was poor. I'd not be impressed if I was a Motherwell fan.
