Northern Premier League...Premier Division

Atherton Collieries 0 ... Hyde United 1

A real turn up for the book as Hyde don't even get a smell of even a point when they play away there. Now one win and two draws in their first three matches.

Leeds 3 - 0 Chelsea

Not really sure how it happened but we made Chelsea look poor with some great pressing. Tuchel’s extremely bitter reaction to the result is hilarious.

3rd in the league, back where we belong at last

At last, Bury are on a cup run, after breezing past Hallam in the very first pre-pre qualification round, a 2 - 0 win at home to Widnes pus us through into round goodness-knows-what. Gate of 800+ where the receipts are shared (+ streaming money) +£1444 prize money (and £750 if we lose the next round) is very handy indeed!

Four more wins takes us through to the first round proper when the medium-sized guys join in. So I'm told...

I have a very strong dislike for Tuchel, so that result pleased me greatly.

Newcastle Vs City also looked to be an epic game. City aren't as infallible as many thought, so hopefully that bodes well for the season.

Now for the relegation six-pointer tomorrow night eh!

Indeed so, two teams that have played twice and not yet won a match. Klopp has stated a novel idea to get three points though.

Anyone listening to 606?

Thinking of the strictures that can apply for non-fulfilment of fixtures with the threatened possibility of this occurring at Old Trafford by a mass exterior ground supporters encirclement, I recall that in their last season in the Football League, Macclesfield Town were deducted seven points for not fulfilling their fixture against Plymouth Argyle.

If I rightly recall, it was actually a four point deduction for Macclesfield Town (i) not having a stadium safety certificate to enable them to host the December 2019 Plymouth Argyle home fixture as well as (ii) non payment of player wages in February 2020.

In addition, they also incurred an additional three point deduction, which had been suspended from earlier on in 2019, this after facing previous charges, and which might not have been imposed had they not further breached any regulations that season, making it 7 points in total.

Eddie Howe was brave enough to play with two out and out wingers against City, where Pep likes his fullbacks to play inside like auxiliary midfielders. Saint Maximim wreaked havoc. City hugely lucky not to concede a penalty when Stones clattered Schar. And we’ll done the ref for being brave enough to overturn the red card decision. Very few would have done that

Time for predictions! I'm saying 4-0 Liverpool because I'm bad at predicting

One of the best premier league matches I've watched in a long time.

Aren't we all! I'll say 1-0 Liverpool, man utd to put up more resistance than expected. (I'm totally prepared to be proven very wrong!)

This is if the United fans don't postpone the match

A fair point

Hopefully a draw

It's funny how some of the top teams such as West Ham, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea have not have had great start to the season but some such as Fulham, Arsenal, Brighton are storming ahead. Time will tell.......

My bold Fingers crossed we can keep the momentum up!

I like how you have included Arsenal with the smaller teams

I really rate Brighton to be fair.

 

[DannyMich2018]

Yes I'm sure you will do, you've made a great start, unlike us at Leicester City!

I like how you have included Arsenal with the smaller teams

I really rate Brighton to be fair.

I meant Arsenal near the top and yes a big team but not always where they should be. We'll done!!

Manchester United 2 ... Liverpool 1

Victor Meldrew would have to say something about this result!!!!

I have to say, I think Liverpool are dreadful at the moment. Puy that Manchester United side up against Brentford or Brighton again and they'd lose

 

[Jimini]

So by my logic: Fulham beat Brentford ; Brentford beat Manchester United; Manchester United beat Liverpool... bring on the Champions League!

 

[150249]

Did Fulham beat Liverpool?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Did Fulham beat Liverpool?

Not this season.

 

[150249]

Not this season.

Indeed! Can't say that unless you get a better decision than 2-2. Almost won though

Top of the league with a game in hand. Someone get that open top bus booked...

Posts that precede unfortunate events...

Given our lack of squad depth, I can see Bradford knocking our kids out of the cup tonight too. A week and a bit left to get some bodies in.

Can't be losing 3-0 to Reading mate

FA Cup Preliminary Round Replay: Grantham Town 5 Lincoln United 1

Following a 0-0 draw on Saturday, the Gingerbreads hosted the replay. Despite conceding a goal after two minutes, Grantham equalised after five minutes and then took the lead on eight minutes. Further goals saw them comfortably through to the next round, and a home tie against Rugby Town.

Wealdstone 1-0 Halifax.

This following on from beating Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park earlier during the week. Great start for the only part time club in the National League.

PS: Dorking have been full time for 3 seasons now.
