Big win (5-1) last night for Chelsea away at West Ham.
Graham Potter the West Ham boss under all sorts of pressure.
Yeah didnt look to bad going forward but awful at the back. 8 goals conceded this early doesn’t help
-
Spurs lay down an early marker beating City at the Etihad. The Thomas Frank effect is clear, we were more solid at the back, our midfield looked strong with Palhinha, Sarr and Bentancur. The energy was great, we seemed a step quicker all day and deserved the 2-0 win

And Eze to spurs, no scratch that Arsenal with late swoop
And didn't he look happy to be at the Emirates.

Anyone hear the stat about Chris Wood, didn’t hear it correctly, but something like tied with most goals vs all current players with Haaland in EPL when you exclude penalties? If true that is sensational and if he scores today he leads the comp.

Not sure I understand that stat! Can you explain?

I believe from the comms team they said out of current active players in EPL he is tied for leading amount of goals scored with Haaland, when you exclude penalties. Didnt believe it myself but haven’t checked
-
Yeah that's wrong. Firstly, he's scored more goals than Haaland (and the margin is wider when you exclude penalties).
Looks like Wood is second overall amongst players active in the EPL - only behind Salah (who has more than double Wood's total). Kane and Lukaku also have more, but are in other leagues.

Yeah Salah was the guy I thought of. It does show how hard it is to be a consistent EPL scorer through many seasons
-
Yeah walked into the room when it was been said so wasn’t sure of the accuracy. That’s incredibly impressive though at second.
-
Yeah I was pretty surprised at how high he is, especially when there are 34 guys to have got to 100 (since the EPL started).
Last season Wood had 17 non penalty goals, Haaland, Isak and Wissa had 19 and Salah 20.
I suppose I should have done this KiwiPie style and made you guess! Wissa surprised me, but the others were obvious.
-
Shearer has 100+ for two teams, no one else even managed 50 for both teams. Van Persie did 96/48, Dwight Yorke 60/48 and Dion Dublin did 61/48.
If Wood gets to 50 for Forest (103 total), he... won't be the second to the milestone since he finished on 49 for Burnley! (Plus 4 for Newcastle). But he'll be the closest since Shearer.

Bournemouth always find a way to lose to Brentford especially when they were under Frank, not too upsetting exiting the cup in first round to them.
At least we didn’t exit by losing to Grimsby Town

Man United is the gift that keeps on giving. Post-match sounded like Amorim is already penning his resignation letter.

Liverpool need to fix their defence if they're going to win another title. They've let in four in two games.

NES gets the chop
Nuno out at Forest 3 games into '25-'26 season
Nottingham Forest have parted ways with manager Nuno Espírito Santo, the club have confirmed.
Seems a little unfair, considering he took them into Europe on the back of a very good season last year. I don't wish bad for them, especially as Chris Wood plays for them. But it's always dangerous when an owner starts thinking he knows more about football than the football people trying to run his club
