A Palace win. As well as the points we do not want to give Burnley any confidence to get them started on a run.

Yes, tough isn't it Jurgen. Just think though of the doctors and nurses on the front line. You and the others in the PL are paid shedloads so a bit of inconvenience of playing three games a week should not be too much. I suggest you come into the real world where so many people are really...

Got sent off against Palace in the game where they had 5 penalties. He knew the importance of the derby !!

This is as I see it except that I would give Ryan a 7. His goal line clearance with his left leg was effective if not pretty and he got down well to his left for a crisply taken shot.

Good point. I was looking back at the others more than looking forward. As to Welbeck I believe that he has never been a prolific scorer but he is going to help out the others, he has experience and a physical presence. He seems a good character and given that we passed the deadline without a...

I know very little of this type of thing but if the job was advertised at £38k and they come in at a lower sum I would wonder at the reliability of my prospective new employer and would want to check out that other things are as has been put to me. Are you going to be let down in other areas ?

Yes I am in for it. For one thing we have a few players who can produce nice little cameos at the end of the game but are far less impressive when they start ie AJ, Trossard, McAllister and it would also probably benefit our new Swiss striker.

August 2022. For us perhaps it is not so much the stadium but the travel to and from it with packed trains and buses. In the East Stand Upper the average age seems quite high so I can imagine in the first instance a good number might choose not to go.

The media have been anti VAR from the start. It gives them something to talk about and it boosts the ego of the pundits to make disparaging comments about it. With VAR more decisions are technically right than without it, although of course it has many downsides. I say pause it for a year and...

When TB believes there is a coach/manager available who has a significantly better chance of keeping us up.

I see us being in control of the ball for a good amount of the time and playing what decent stuff there is. However the game is about goals and we concede them. 2 to them and 1 to us unfortunately. We are too 'soft' at the back and Burnley will take advantage I fear.

Part of his job is to get the supporters on side and be as patient as they have been !! Supporters pay a good deal of money these days and he is handsomely rewarded. I am pretty sure our support is no worse than any other and probably better. He needs to ride with it, relax and show a bit of...

Well yes you have a point but only one of those clubs is currently in the top 6, Everton. Performances have been entertaining but rather riddled with error. We get high marks for artistic merit but rather lower ones for effectiveness. Early days though.

PPV. I have probably got this all wrong but I went through Sky Sports Box Office channel 491 and they said I did not have to pay. Let's see what happens later !!!

We will do well to stay outside the bottom three UNLESS Welbeck proves to be a magical signing.

Yes well it is a game we must not lose and would hope to win. There are not that many teams around 'weaker' than us and WBA are surely one. If we play to our potential we should win but if we let this one slip and lose, a view of the table will bring pressure.

Is Gus Poyet in work ? He would surely make an excellent gamesmanship coach !!

Of course when he is not there one will fully appreciate what he brings. There is quality cover but it will mean that we have an unsettled defence.

We were never ahead and had few genuine good scoring chances. Our goal itself was a deflected effort. Definitely a point gained.

Yes the grass is always greener....
