Leeds hitting the woodwork, twice in the opening minutes.

Make that three off the woodwork.

[Chris~]

And now a penalty. Portsmouth might not be as good as Leeds

You think. And there's the inevitable goal.

[Oskar]

Some pass that by Marlon Pack, Portsmouth equalise against the run of play.

Meslier should do better.

[Chris~]

Meslier still rubbish then

Yeah, shit keeping.

[gerrardisgod]

Oxford take the lead, think they could be a surprise contender for a playoff place minimum this season. Feels like it’s more open than ever.

[smicer07]

How on earth is he still there? He's been terrible for three seasons.

[Baby Huey]

Nice finish.Can't blame the keeper for that one. 2-1 Pompey.

[disgraced cake]

Great goal from Callum Lang who is actually a scouser. Meslier is fucking poo.

[Baby Huey]

Leeds 2-2. Gnonto.

They get about 40 penalties a season so that will help.

[Oskar]

Portsmouth have a penalty in ET...

[Phineus]

Ah Leeds.

[disgraced cake]

What a start for Portsmouth and Oxford.

Leeds will win plenty of games but not sure they'll go up. Will probably concede well over a goal a game with that defence/keeper.

[Oskar]

3-2, one of the most casually-taken penalties I've seen.

[Oskar]

3-3 at the death.

Great game to start the season,

I don’t think Farke is an especially good manager. At least not great at setting up a defence.

Anyway what a miss that was!

Those Norwich sides were properly dominant in the Championship but some of the worst in the prem.

I think there's too much loyalty to managers who get teams promoted though in football these days. It sounds really harsh but if you would replace half your team upon going up it might make more sense than you'd think to change the manager. Obviously, Leeds didn't end up getting promoted so for the time being he's a really good option but if they are to come up they should probably move him on.

Leeds 2-2. Gnonto.

the next thing?

[Fromola]

3-3 at the death.

Great game to start the season,

So much better to watch football without VAR.

[Oskar]

So far, Plymouth have been as good as you'd expect a team coached by Wayne Rooney to be.

1-0 down to Sheffield Wednesday and struggling to string a few passes together.

Dear me, Rooney has swallowed the air hose...

Won't last 5 minutes there, he's shite.

sounds like something he'd do with a granny

[Willo99]

Why on earth would anyone give Wayne Rooney a job?!

[Kekule]

Are they still sponsored by Ginsters?

I can see a certain synergy there…

Could be a blow to their profitability, though...

[DelTrotter]

One of the worst performances you'll ever see from a championship team, they should be brave and make the change now.

[smicer07]

Serves them right for employing a proven failure as a manager purely because he was once a good footballer. Idiotic.

[Oskar]

I'd be amazed if he's still in that job at the start of October.

That was as one-sided a game as you'll see in any competition all season.

[Fromola]

Embarrassing that from Plymouth. At least Danns isn't stuck there.

Don't know why we'd contemplate trusting one of our best prospects with that fraud.

[DarkOfTheManatee]

Incredible that people who are paid to make footballing decisions can genuinely come to the conclusion that Rooney was the right man for the Plymouth job. It's not like the club were a basket case either.

Only a matter of time before Lampard manages to blag another job as well.

Gerrard might not be up to much either but at least he showed something at Rangers.

Sack a guy with coaching credentials Foster who won something with the young England team for a bloke who took a team from the play offs and relegated them it’s truely astonishing.

It really isn’t. Foster was absolutely fucking horrendous at Plymouth; if you watched any of their games you’d have seen it. Shit on a stick football and were hurtling headlong towards relegation despite being very comfy when Schumacher jumped ship. Because Rooney is worse it doesn’t mean keeping Foster was right either. He should never see another championship job.

[The G in Gerrard]

Someone should sit Rooney down and make him understand management ain't for him.

Be careful what you wish for.  If Rooney's not managing a team then he's nailed on for one of the high profile punditry jobs.

Foster was some no mark on Gerrard's staff in Saudi. How Plymouth have gone for him and Rooney beggars belief.
