Well check my sources! That’s great news Hash we’ll be nicely rested and can give em a damn good thrashing.

What Keefy says. I can get 6.5% from the Nationwide but it's limited to £200 a month over a year.

Cambridge game is the weekend after Trigs :-)

Bit harsh having to go to Cambridge on Saturday after playing Thursday night. They’re scoring goals for fun as well could be a difficult day.

Laurence, most lenders who offer very high rates are accounts limiting a small monthly payment into the account over a year. So yes 5 becomes greater than 8 when the investment is made upfront.

Leddrede ......... when did 5 become greater than 8? :o)

Great Britain must have been confident to beat Iceland if the OTD picture is anything to go by given they seem to have 11 outfield players and no goalkeeper.

I was expecting them to have started the season stronger than they have done. The fact that they come to us without a win yet sits uncomfortably with the football gods. It’s an odd thing to say after keeping four clean sheets already but we’ll need to defend better. A lot of new players for this fixture so I hope they get on and play the game and don’t let the occasion impact them.

Get there and support the team!

So how is everyone feeling about Thursday?

It was also quite a poor quality game in terms of the football on show when you consider the amount of money that was on the pitch.

City vs United was something of a refereeing disaster, with a sending off missed (Fernandes) and a goal given that shouldn’t have been- you might argue that the two cancelled each other out in some cosmic way but really with all of the attention and money on the PL these things should be done right

I’m not sure people would be calling for a Fernandes red if Foden hadn’t reacted like that. Not that I care either way. Just hoping the Prem gets a bit more interesting through the season.

When Foden went down his natural position would make his legs straighten out in order to be able to jump up as quickly as possible. That wasn't taken into account.

To balance things City v Utd; the Haarland goal should not have stood [Link]

tGG - it was good to see that unmistakable bright orange tag of yours back on here again today. I hope all's well with you now.

You would earn more interest on a bond paying 5% than the Lloyds regular saver account paying 8%.

No one’s disputing Foden, it’s the lack a red for the deliberate kick in the back on him that makes no sense. I guarantee if you said so it’s not longer a red card to kick an opponent lying on the floor, the same ref would tell you that’s not the case.

OI i know I was just saying it’s bizarre

Well done TGG on still being alive, decent resolve shown

Foden deserved to get sent off. He made his own decisions.

I'd have sent him off but then when I refereed VAR didn't exist so my decision was final.

Nick - Woking. 8% from Lloyds on offer presently.

I'm not arguing Lurker but that was the explanation of why VAR didn't mention it. Fernandes and (Enzo) Fernandez two of the nastiest players in the Premier League.
