Popped into the live text at ~80 minutes and Citeh were cruising. What happened?

Certainally, seems they're going to be stricter on Time-management/wasting. Ironically we were playing the kings of it yesterday, but after being 2-0 after 4 minutes, they probably weren't that keen to partake. In fact we had someone booked after 10 minutes for kicking the ball away.
Good, hopefully teams will just stop doing it if it hinders teams, with bookings and extra time made up.

Lopetegui sacked by Wolves before they have kicked a ball in the new PL season.
Niall
International Coach
O Neil is an interesting one, a lot of outrage about his firing as he kept Bournemouth up, but to play devils advocate they benefitted from so many poor teams at the bottom and weren't the most exciting to watch. We will find out now if he is the real deal or not.

State Captain
haha I mean, that isn't sacked man. He left on his own accord

He also took over a team that had just been annihilated and told it wasn't going to be good enough to stay up. It looks already like Luton and Sheff Utd are certainties to go down, it shouldn't be too hard to avoid relegation for everyone else.

By Trees you mean Forest? I think they'll be ok, they haven't lost any of that squad and should improve now they've had more time to gel.
Luton just seem to have accepted inevitable relegation with no attempt to bolster the squad. Sheff Utd are seemingly actually selling some of their best players who are soon to be out of contract. I follow Matt Fitzpatrick on Twitter and I've never seen him so animated about anything before.
I'd have Wolves or Bournemouth as the 3rd.

All 3 promoted teams stayed up last season. Fulham were a decent outfit who scored goals (see Burnley this year), Forest invested heavily. Bournemouth were the ones who ought to have dropped but somehow avoided it.
Anyway, can I just add that S*uthampton got dicked at Gillingham last night!!

He definitely did a good job last season but I’m not convinced he’s a particularly good coach. I thought it was unusually smart of the owners to move on. Almost everyone makes a caretaker permanent when they do well for part of a season and it just literally never works out.

Yeah but what about making a caretaker permanent when they win 2 out of 9 games? Hey? Hey!!

Ha I completely missed that. What do the fan base think?

There was absolute uproar. We announced Nigel Adkins as 'Technical Director' two days later which calmed things a little, but there's already a 'Dawes Out' thread about 6 pages long on the TRFC forum I inhibit. Home defeat on Sat didn't do anything to help, although I personally felt the result overshadowed a reasonable performance in the absence of our two new strikers.
To be fair, sounds like we played well last night but I'd say last time a manager had this much pressure from the stands in August was the season we went down from L2 (Rob Edwards who came to newly relegated us having been assistant manager at Exeter and given a budget of 47p to build a squad...)
