Premier league Records

I've mentioned elsewhere: that match against Newcastle should never have gone ahead given the tragedy of Maddy Cusack's passing a couple of days before, and I suspect that probably played a part in the reaction of club and players to the ridiculous performance and scoreline against the Barcodes.

It would have helped enormously too had we not had to play 17 minutes of injury time to allow Spurs to score the week before, and had the officials not allowed the Newcastle players to twice play basketball before scoring but ultimately we had a weak side both physically and mentally and the opponents took advantage.

Every time we've been in the Premier League the standard of the officiating we've received has been abysmal and the powers that be have treated us like peasants.

Yeah, the Spurs game knocked the stuffing out of us. In fact, in the early games we were done by a couple of 'what if' moments - late goal conceded to Forest, late goal conceded to City (knock it out Lorouchi!), and Pickford somehow saving from McB right at the end in the match against Everton.

Indeed. Obviously our players were way off PL standard, but in a slightly different universe we have 8 points from those first 5 games going into the Newcastle match. I wonder how the season would then have panned out.
