...and I'll be at work.

Sorry GL...the man just never sleeps...
The man is down 2-1 with 7 minutes to go. I smell another late comeback, but at least they didn't win 1 nil yet again.
Joe Hart did today? Good coaching.
Wow on Hull...just wow.
Hart likely gonna start...but he is not long for this squad. Dude cannot go to his left...and he is like a baby giraffe with the ball at his feet.
Two weeks until real football.
4-1 result! Tons of work to do yet, but they have shown something this season they didn't all last season...the ability to stick in and finish off bad teams.
Hull!
Twatford can't hold on v Chelski.
Nice win for Spurs!
Good to get off the schnide. Still haven't watched a match this year.
Pep trades for former Barca #1 GK Claudio Bravo...which signals the end for Joe Hart.
It sickens me, almost to the point the Bert ballwashers sickened me. There is this unholy love for him since he's England's #1...but the guy is NOT GOOD. He as routinely turned the ball over which have resulted in goals...he's somewhere around 50% on turning the ball over...that is not good. AND he can't go to his left for $hit!!!
This change cannot come soon enough!
Pep doesn't care whether you are English or Greek. Got to play ball.
You don't need Pep Guardiola to score six goals.
It will be interesting to see how this team does over the next 3...West Ham was our nemesis last year...then we go play at ManUre, and then play BMG at home in the CL opener. 1-2 is highly, highly possible.
LOOK MA! TOP OF THE TABLE!
Seriously though...that match vs West Ham should have been far less in doubt. So many blown chances...
Next game will be most interesting...especially if Aguero gets a 3 match ban for the elbow he threw...though not called on the field, the FA is known to go all Roger Goodell and lay the hammer down after the fact.
Joe Hart off to Torino! The Hart ballwashers will give Bert's crew a run for their money. You would think this guy invented goal keeping the way some of these saps are sobbing and all pissy.
The dude gave up four...FOUR goals last season strictly off of bad passes. He is slow, can't go to his left, and quite frankly, I'm ecstatic he's gone.
Congrats on your top of stable status and on getting Hart out of town. The power of Pep.
We'll see how long we remain TotT...with Aguero suspended for the Derby, not sure we have enough offensive juice to win. Ihenacho is going to need to step up big.
Congrats Foo. Nice to see United getting slapped around a bit. Do that a few more times and the Special One will become the Petulant One.
Amazing that the old guy scored again. Ibra is a freak.
The funny thing is...pre-match all the media in England were talking about how quickly Mou had turned them around, how they had all these clean sheets and were corn-holing the opposition...how they were big, and physical and would do their damage on set pieces.
They made a big deal how City had not had a clean sheet yet.
And then reality set in...of course the pro ManUre media likes to focus on the "blown" call where Claudio Bravo slid in to Wooney clearing the ball out of the box. And they said nothing about Otamendi getting absolutely leg whipped in the box on the other end with no call.
Consider...Claudio Bravo had about as bad a game as you can have...I wondered about if he'd even get the start because he had not been practicing with the first unit, and had been flying back and forth to Spain to get his family moved. So he has an awful day, one of which Douchebrahimovic makes him pay for...and KDB sends two pearl shots off the woodwork...this match could have easily been 4-1 or 4-0. Also consider, our best MF, Gundogan, has yet to play, and they RW Leroy Sane just got match fit, and started to change the dynamic of the the game once he went in. Oh yeah, and Aguero didn't play either.
And then ManUre fans try to claim they never wanted Guardiola, which is absolute bull$hit. He was always coming to Manchester, but it was to work with his friend Txiki Bergeristain.
Long season to go...knock wood, we've been lucky with injuries. When it gets cold, wet and dreary we will see how things go. Hell, we started off really well under MP, and then it all went to hell come October last year.
Nice to see Spurs quietly plowing forward. I really expect them to push hard this season while Arse will do what they always do under Wenger.
October 2nd we head up to Spurs...looking forward to that one. Will be glad if we can manage a draw. Things have been pretty good injury wise so far, but we've got a string of UCL and Champions Cup matches...so now instead of a game every 6 days it's a game every 3 days. But I will say this...regardless of results, this team is one hell of a lot more fun to watch than anything MP every brought. This squad passes well, they don't often get careless and they are playing with a passion I came to admire in greatly in Borussia Dortmund under Klopp. I was quite disappointed when he went to Liverpool because I had been hoping he'd replace MP...this was long before I even though Pep was a reality.
