Obligatory weekly post about how much fun watching Everton is.

I was really worried that today was gonna be the exception.

But phew, nope, they still gone did their thing. Bless 'em.

That Ebou Adams miss, oh me god

To be fair to Everton, can't be too many times that they've been first game on motd twice in a row.

The run of fixtures Skipper has posted isn't even that hard (famous last words.) Even if Arsenal drop points in a couple of games, the board aren't going to suddenly lose faith in him.

I take this back, Nottingham Forest at home is on the list.

Arsenal wont have any trouble with Forest. LFC did well just to compete given how little was spent in the summer

 

[sledger]

Arsenal taking an extra five yards every single time they get a throw in here lol

 

[sledger]

Well that was highly enjoyable.

It's a trend that really irritates me.

Have seen plenty of instances where teams are basically taking throw ins rugby style from where the player kicked it, not where the ball went out.

Yeah, ref called them on it eventually, but it was getting silly.

Players not putting the ball in the quarter circle when taking corners irrationality bothers me as well for some reason. Like I get that the ball only has to be touching the line, but sometimes (including today) you can literally see grass between the line and the ball

World class list for me is
White, saliba, odegaard, saka
Ederson, walker, Diaz, rodri, de bruyne, haaland
Alison, van dijk, salah

Close to wc
Raya, Gabriel, rice
Gvardial, foden

Dont think ederson is world class stefen otrega in same city team is better then him

 

[govinda indian fan]

Man city look set for 5th consecutive pl title early days but look good with Liverpool undergoing transition and arsenel well they choke as always

Man united
Aston villa

Yeah bit of a weird one from Skipper. Surely Arsenal are a million times more worried about losing Arteta than Arteta is about being Arsenal firing him. If Real Madrid continue to be a bit crap and Ancelotti's seat gets wobbly, Arteta is one of the first guys they'll start sniffing around.

Na real would want to get xabi alonso think they wouldn't sack ancelotti till season ends

That doesn't necessarily mean the ball isn't in the circle.

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Was never fond of Eastleigh during our years in the bin but fair play for this

Statement: The National League Cup

Eastleigh Football Club would like to confirm that we will not be competing in The National League Cup competition.

I mean I can't be bothered to watch anything seriously as I'm in that strange limbo in life of waiting for a delivery from Asda, but honestly who chose Stoke-Hull as a live match, plenty of interesting teams for various reasons League system, I'd venture to say these 2 are not one of them
