I had a sneaky bet on Everton at the start of the season, got a feeling they could do something this year.

Costa just seems one of those love to hate figures. He is a nasty spiteful confrontational player. I for one do enjoy watching him. Loving your managers passion though he gets more into it than some of the fans ! Gonna be a good league this year me thinks,

Problem I have with Costa is he gets goals so is a useful fantasy league player, but he also gets lots of yellow cards so not as useful as he could be. Blimey, in the league I'm in with a few of my pub mates, one had Aguero as his captain, he'll be out of sight in a couple more weeks at this rate.

Forfar won 2-1 in Englandshire against Berwick Rangers, and move to the top of the table after 3 games with a 100% record.
In amateur football news, my team got thumped 8-3 away from home. 7 players missing from last week's starting 11 and the "stand-ins" failed to understand the very simple instructions they were given; none of them will be starting next week, and one of the subs has been told not to come back due to an attitude problem.

I wouldn't say he is spiteful, he's just rash but then we all see our own and other team's players differently.
Interesting that Sky/BT are banging on about Costa now and no mention of the fact that Coquelin and Koscielny should both have walked today.

Ahh this happens in real life.Championship Manager is quite realistic then.

MOTD - anyone else think that this show gets worse and worse?
Abysmal/non-existent analysis last night.
Nev' has lost the plot as he thinks grappling in the box is ok and doesn't like the new crackdown - he's entitled to a view but box wrestling has reached epidemic proportions so needs sorting.
No one can make their mind up re soft yellows or what should constitute a yellow or even (not on last nights show but from last season) if there should be a period of grace in each game when it is too early to give a yellow!
As per prediction - Costa's yellow/not yellow got a mention, the Watford player effing at the ref' didn't and the clear penalty (Watford player with hand high in air deflects ball crossed from a corner for those who did not see the match) that Chelsea should've had, did not even get shown let alone mentioned.
The dire refereeing in Stoke vs MCFC didn't get much attention but the Leicester travesty did (I thought Leicester were very hard done by btw - nailed on pen' not given).
Not sure who edits the show - a right Twonk whoever it is and I get fed up with the bias. I note also that Jose can now walk on water/do no wrong now that he has left Chelsea and entered the pundits sacred halls of MUFC.
I probably get too worked up about football.

Trouble with underdogs is that they always expect to have a surprise win against a top team, but once again they failed to live up to their unrealistic expectations. Maybe losing 2-0 wasn't so bad, though.

We thought we were seeing a crackdown on wrestling and shirt-pulling in the box at the start of the season. We (Falkirk) got three penalties awarded against us in the first 30 minutes (one for a trip and two for shirt-pulling). However, it turned out to be one ref on a one match crusade because AFAIK, there hasn't been a single penalty for shirt pulling given in any game since. Even in the same game that ref didn't give fouls anywhere else on the pitch for shirt pulling or wrestling.

Costa's yellow for being gobby was poor. The fact he didn't get a yellow for diving was even poorer I'd rather he got booked for diving than calling a ref a naughty word ! Yes motd is pony and out dated Linekar is the king of nobbers pundits pointless. They should just show the game highlights without the need for any of them. And I'm glad you've understood that Mourinho has now joined the untouchables
he will be fine free from the league chiefs for his sarcastic comments from now on,refs will find that extra minute for Utd to score a winner/equaliser. It's a lovely world

I shall make the trip up given I have the week off. I could go on the Ashton coach given I only live a couple of miles from their ground.

I'm another in the MOTD format is tired camp. The Bundesliga highlights are far superior as they just show the game and don't mess about jawing on about where a player should or should not have been standing.
