Any old iron .. East Ender's West Ham tripped up Liverpool with a Kurt intervention at the Londahn stadium yesterday .. the mighty Arsenal are shaking off the disbelief of losing their first 3 to ascend to 5th in the table after taking the points against Watford and at the same time likely as not shorten Claudio's reign .. and the peacocks of Leeds and Leicester's foxes chased each other about for 90 before sharing the points .. 

You forgot the canaries chirping and removing the sting from the Bees

He will be as good as any. The EPL has had enough of Norwegions.

His appointment is confirmed now on a 2.5 yr contract .. t'will be interesting , there are enough games left but it's going to require them to start winning a few against the bottom half teams especially ..

I think he did well with Aston Villa so let's hope he can build a team that keeps them in the EPL this season but guess he will need to be able to get some new talent during January's window. Pukki has been a gem for them but he is not getting younger.

He should keep them up, after all winning the next 11 games should do it

@JohninDubinwho’s due to put tips in before this weekend? In all the (World Cup) excitement I’ve lost track, kind of like Harry Callahan at the start of Dirty Harry.

Absolutely. Believe it or not, someone is actually picking NUFC to win a game.

Yes, the Burnley vs Palace game has had me scratching my head, re whether Zaha should carry the skipper's armband for my Fantasy line-up. Could be another Turf Moor feisty-fest, I think.

Interesting call, there, @Marble-eye, as my moments earlier post to @Chaimaiintoned. A good Turf Moor tussle guaranteed!

Yes KC, give Zaha the armband, he’s a legend. For me, NUFC is a lay down misere this week against flash in the pan Brentford with their host of exhausted internationals playing for tinpot sides. Not many internationals for us at the Toon to worry about. 
(until the January transfer window at least).

My first choice would have been Tottenham beating Leeds KC, but as a Leeds fan over the years I have now learnt just how unpredictable they can be. But when it comes to predicting football results I think the less you know the more chance of you being correct, I don't suppose Viv Nichols was any John Motson.
