Crazy drama - the Dutch got a 4th and no Olympics for us… You won 6-0 and its not enough… Was at Wembley on Friday and that was a crazy game too, the second half was brilliant - very disappointing they don’t qualify…
David Raya doing a pretty good Andre Onana impression tonight 😀
Nice timing, just after Arteta says in his afternoon press conference that Ramsdale ‘is free to leave’ in January.
I doubt he’ll be short of offers
Having been working late I've judt opened this thread and gone to check the Arsenal score - bloody hell, what have they been feeding players this last week for bonkers scorelines!
What’s going on with the Liverpool away kit?
So Shaw gets booked for tapping the ball away and Stirling's blatant cheating is ignored. How bizarre.
This Chelsea side have the ability to make any team look like world beaters
Chelsea really are bloody awful. It really takes something to make us look good. They seem to be intent on giving us the ball in their own half
@Caher - I also can’t comprehend how Sterling wasn’t booked for such an obvious dive
Onana… hold my beer…
Normal service is resumed 🙄
That was a delectable goal from Palmer - turning into some player.
I'm guessing premiership rules now allow clubs to wear their 3rd kits at this point in the season and since its coming up to transfer window they are taking every opportunity to generate some sales. We all know home kits are sacred, away kits the designers get some play time, and 3rd kits are done by the colour blind intern hoping to get a place on a fashion degree but that milka kit makes the turd milkshake spurs have been trotting out for the last month look almost normal..... almost.
It’s bonkers that you can’t!
Speak for yourself. I can Watch any match I like 😉
Bournemouth are making some noise! Or maybe it's the cold misty air carrying the crowd noise. I'm a mile plus from Selhurst, over a hill, and can normally just about hear the roar of a home goal. I just fetched my daughter from cubs and walking back it sounded like the game was at the end of the street!
WTF - a crazy night, I wasn’t expecting this!
City well off the pace, Aston Villa playing brilliantly at home.
Can’t see how Villa aren’t contenders, playing like that. Arsenal at home at the weekend too.
United only three points behind City. Even science can’t explain that.
Not seen any of the matches but another crazy night in the Premier League by the looks of it.
Torn about Forest - would love to see them doing better but god I'm sick of their fans at work harking back to long past glories. Get over yourselves - Ipswich were great in the same period but shit happens, you aren’t entitled to **** all.
Man C not doing very well? I’m so emotional. Ahh well.
United only three points behind City. Even science can’t explain that
Believe me, after watching the dross we’ve served up all season, I’m completely bemused by it
I may stick a fiver on Villa doing a Leicester though. I’ve just had a look and they’re 25/1. Got to be worth a punt
Man City go up a gear after Chrimbo.
And another come March
I was in the Holte end at the Villa last night.
As usual, absolutely nobody sat down, except for half time. It was exhilaratingly good. None of us expected the frantic pace to continue into the 2nd half but it was relentless. Grown men hugging strangers!
What a game! What a game!
I predict Villa will end the season in 6th.
Villa are definitely in the fight for Europe spots. My feel is city win, Liverpool and arsenal next. 4th down I don't know the order but villa, Newcastle, probably United and I hope spurs. Any of those teams could put a run together and challenge for higher but I don't think they will sustain it come march when city stop £%@#ing about.
I'm confident but also worried for Newcastle.
Compared to this point last season, taking into account the sides they've played as well, they're better off than they were and have done that with a crippling injury list, with a dozen or so starter or key rotation players injured or in the case of Tonali, suspended. These are starting to phase back in, and i think they will strengthen again in january, and I hope will have a strong second half of the season.
The worry - is that they play an intense game (not sure where I saw the stats but more pressing / yards covered than the majority of other teams etc.) and have such fitness demands that will the injury list be replaced by other injuries given the burden they've carried in the meantime.
Spurs 90% possession and 10 times as many passes as West Ham, who will be lucky to get nil at this rate. Absolutely dire.
Well played Everton.
You absolutely love to see it.

This didn't age well 😁

Ha! The first half was ludicrously one sided, second much more even and Spurs gifted us two goals. Fantastic.
I’m beginning to think West Ham won’t be in the bottom 3 at Christmas for a change.
That is the first time I've watched spurs this season & I found it almost unwatchable. It felt like watching FIFA (commentators said same I think), so many passes it hurt my head. So glad WH got back into the game, as I doubt I could have watched the 2nd half otherwise.
Spurs have become my second favourite team this season with their gung ho style. Mentioned it before I think but its Bielsa-esque but as we saw last night, at times its as infuriating as it was sometimes watching Bielsa when you need to change something if plan A (trying to pass the ball into the goal) wasn't working. Can't imagine what last night must have been like for an actual Spurs fan - infuriating.
West Ham seemed to get lucky with a double deflection and a horrific back pass that rebounded off the post. Richarlison should have done better with that free header when he came on. Question for Spurs fans though - how many more minutes of football would Son play if he didn't do the following all the time:
- appeal to the ref for decisions even if the whistle hasn't gone
- hold his head in his hands/look to the sky etc every time he plays a misplaced pass etc
Honestly, he must have missed about 15 minutes of the game last night staring at the sky/arguing with the ref.
They need to arrest the slump and put teams away - have lost 16 points from winning positions this season! That said, pre-season Spurs fans may have accepted the current points tally?

They're one point better off than at the same stage last season.
Expectations were lower, I guess, given Kane departure and lack of ‘marquee’ signings.
Harry Maguire Premier League player of the month and Ten Hag got the manager accolade, for November.
Quick question about the Spurs game. At about 66:50 free kick into box, keeper gets a knock and about 5 players on the floor briefly. As they are sorting themselves out a West Ham player picks something off the grass, Richarlison tries to grab it, but he takes it to the ref instead. The ref then seems to take it to the touch line and have a word with someone before they restart. Commentators did not mention it at all. Anyone else spot it and know what was going on? Missile from crowd? Richarlison brought on gels/jiffy bags for teammates?
Harry Maguire Premier League player of the month
I’ve never doubted him 😂
Richarlison brought on gels/jiffy bags for teammates?
Yes, I noticed that, it was quite substantial, I thought he’d dropped his phone! 😂
Did they rest the Premier League Player of the month? I can think of no other explanation for shipping 3 to Bournemouth at OT.
I expect he was at his majestic best. According to the radio commentary, the score flattered United.
The comedy continues. My darling wife can get the beers in tonight with her winnings
Christ only knows how many Liverpool will put past this gang of donkeys at Anfield next weekend. They must be aiming for double figures
I may fake my own death and go into hiding
They were terrible.
However they are 6th, 3 points off Citeh.
They also have a -3 goal difference!
