PREMIER LEAGUE: ROUND 14 (Midweek)

Super Jack !   Rather ironic getting that slice of luck given the number of chances he's has laid on a plate for the strikers to spurn this year.

A good response from the toffees after the debacle against Newcastle, remarkably that is their first away win against Bournemouth and comes hot on the heels of an ultra rare win at Old Trafford.  What a strange old season this is. .

At last, lovely finish Bruno.

Only seven points off City with the same games played.  That can’t have been reported often in the last ten years. Well done Toffees.

Only when Norwich were in the EPL Honcho

Newcastle 1-1 Spurs

Good decision imo.

Pen holding in box bout time they sorted this

nah, Burn was giving as good as the Spurs player

Very soft

Bunch of pus sies ,dancing in the box its out of control,this needs to be the norm to stop it

2-2

Blimey!

lol what a goal that was , slow motion shinned overhead kick

Spurs fans singing 'champions of europe'

Soft penalty imo, weird equaliser, good result for Spurs. Mustn't grumble.

Ramsdale was awful for the corner - punching the ball straight up in the air

Pundits: Carragher, Micha and Jamie Redknapp all agree the penalty was bolix

Was Pope dropped, or injured?

injured

thanks

An unexpected point. I'll take it.

Pope injured, would have been dropped, apparently

Enjoyable game, disappointing result, but got to create a bit
more, and take chances.

Ref let a load go, dear me, but for both sides

Spurs played OK, Bergval is going to be a goodun.

If Bentancur had gone down before Burn it's likely not a pen. He didn't look at the ball once and that's naive. But Burn likely had his head pinned with downward force once it was under his armpit and knew what he was doing. There's no way Bentancur is overpowering Burn there to make him go down like that and he's not stopping him jumping either.

Bit of a never played the game decision.

Looked a penalty from where we are, they were tussling
then corner comes in burn had let go and it's a foul.

Soon as went to var it seemed obvious they would
send ref to screen.

Loads of it in the game tonight, so could be one
of half a dozen to choose.

Spurs equalised when likely it finishes 1-1 without
pen, so no great shakes, except to let them know
Big Brother is watching and can strike whenever they want.

Yeah but you can't see the bodily/weight force applied, only the arms. Burn looked like he had his head pinned with downward force. All top defenders lean their weight in duels and you can't see it.

Yeah, Burn was forcing his weight into the defender. The arms might have been on him but he could have just stopped and shaken him off easily. Classic winning of a penalty, rather than it being conceded.

chelsea even monet on here wow

chelsea even monet on here wow

What's going on?
Took some more at 2.0

Good bye money


G'Luck

Talk of Reece James being rested perhaps

Caicedo suspended is fairly significant.  also Leeds are considered a similar-ish level to Forest/Sunderland and better than WHam

why did VAR get involved when it was a 100% twice on Sunday not an obvious error by the reff,as proven by different peoples/pundits opinions on it

var don't get involved 99% of people including burns agree it wasn't a pen and reff right not to blow,var gets involved and reff thrown under the  bus by var and admits making an obvious error despite 99% of people thinking he didn't,they don't help themselves do they

Burn had his arms out horizontal and spurs player put his head
under burns arm as a pivot.

It may well be an incident best ignored, but it's also
a perfect case of a pelanty under the laws of the game.

As above they ignore loads, then select one to penalise,

Spurs were practicing blocking at corners in their warm up

Lol.

Tottenham are the Premier League’s biggest xG overperformers this season (+6.46).

Chelsea seem a big price

Brighton 1-0
Arsenal 1-0

Since the start of last season, no Premier League player has scored more headed goals in all competitions than Arsenal’s Mikel Merino, heading in eight of his 14 goals in that time.

Opta

Leeds 1-0

We (Sunderland) are playing brilliantly - Liverpool are truly awful

but there are ominous signs from the referee - waving play-on to obvious fouls,
giving them all the 50/50 decisions, etc.

Merino missed open goal, Arsenal look very shaky

Feckin Chelsea 2-0 down

Brighton 2-0 up to 3-2 down ! UTV !

Brighton 2-0 up to 4-2 down ! UTV !

3-4 Now!

Arsenal 2-0 ,Saka

Villa v Arsenal title decider on Saturday

Take a look at the moon guys, whilst you still can... absolute massive allow around it... an amazing sight

allow = halo

Leeds 2 Chelsea 1

A most welcome win at Burnley for Palace after the Man Utd shambles.

Thought that would be a tight one Slippy, but a nice win.

Sunderland hit post

Indeed Aspro, I wasn't tempted by the odds but the three points was needed to steady the ship most definitely.

Liverpool 0-1 Sunderland

Sunderland lead...!

liv gone at the game

van dijk with another shocker

Well deserved lead. Liverpool been diabolical.

This could be the crash of all time

Keeper could do nowt about that.

Van Dik gives ball away and then scores own goal with his arse

triple shocker from van dijk. gave the ball away, didn't press and then goal deflected off him

Carragher steaming into Liverpool there.

van dijk is fine in rolls royce teams, but useless in teams that struggle because he doesn't get stuck in and make tackles. normally does not need to

Leeds 3-1 another mental day of PL footy

horror defending from chelsea

Would Ballard of Sunderland be an England player if he hadn't chosen N Ireland?

definitely. if the likes of coady and burn can get a game so should he

That is a good adjective Aspro.  Describes the season well so far.  The Scottish is much the same.

1-1 Wirz

Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland

Chelsea are very flakey, as are Brighton

Dunno how folk bet on them.

Wirtz !

Indeed it is LH

OG, not Wirtz !

Wirtz news the lad could receive, taking his firtz goal.

MOTD on at 11.10 til 12.45 should be great viewing

Wirtz goal an OG!

7 minutes added at Anfield

Another coupon buster for the firms if it stays 1-1.
It has been a season horribilis betting wise for most folks I would think.

Wow Isidor misses great chance to win it for Sunderland

The Kop would have properly freaked out if your man scored there.

That's all folks

Chelsea back down to earth after their 'win' on Sunday. United can go level with them tomorrow.

Really sub standard season this

Really dire quality

Wolves must be the poorest side ever to contest a season.

City in 2nd who can go from 5-1 up to 5-4 says it all

Chelsea, spurs, Liverpool with very poor teams and no energy in too many games

Newcastle not able to muster a gallop again with European football!

Villa couldn’t score start of season, now in top 3 just shows how mediocre it is


Entertaining betting wise because u don’t know what’s going to happen. But In terms of class this is the most shocking bunch of teams I’ve seen!

What a waste of money that’s been spent on players for so much poor football on display!!

Arsenal will win this league by March and not because they play the best flowing football u ever seen, because they’re the most structured footballing side in what is a **** awful quality season I think I’ve seen!
Chelsea were so far off it tonight, just proves the point! Woeful that a championship side would beaten them tonight.

Unbelievable

Best league in the world my arse!! It’s the worst type of football and worst quality in the top leagues in the world

Manchester United are undefeated in 22 of their last 24 home matches against West Ham in all competitions.

VIrgil-a Rolls ROYCE

Looks more like a Lotus Espirit
Breaking down -constanly

Utd @ 1.44 has to be the call.
In the second half against us on Sunday they played very well and should be too good for W.H.

Bruno moaning constantly for the first 15 mins. United don't do well when he's like this.

First 20 minutes Utd have been shocking.....they do the very best impression of making it look like they've just been introduced to each other for the first time in the tunnel, makes you wonder what goes on whilst they are training all week.

No De Ligt.  Anywhere.

Been watching for 20 minutes... Man Utd win this game. I'm going all in!

It's a bit grim thus far to be sure.

Other than last 15min that half
Nono been happy
We need get lamppost in box not on wing
Diouf needs come off red card waiting happen amad had his number

1-0 Dalot

1-1

Relegation
Beckons
Not sure which team

With 15 minutes to go, 10.5 the draw and 130 west ham win....
