Europe out of the question this season if you can't beat any one of Burnley, Sheffield utd, fulham(at home) at least and we have shite for brains at bulging the onionbag.
During a period we have a bulging injury list, traveling across Europe, needing to play teenagers, we’ve got 26 points and scored 33 goals in 16 games, only 3 sides have scored more. :shrug:

Everton v Chelsea
One of the only games I’d be happy to see either lose!
Nah an Everton win puts them 3 points behind palace, after their 10 point deduction.

Your right, I should have put it a better way of the amt we create. When you put it like that I do agree though.
It’s absolutely frustrating, but, I think there is little to be too critical about tbh. Yesterday you just need one bit of luck, a deflection, ricochet into your path, and we didn’t get it, they did.

Taking a step back to have a squad and youngsters that can step in and we’re still disappointed that we’ve only lost 1 in 10 games, but we’re not pushing the top 4 speaks volumes for how well we’re doing.

Again yesterday we had 3 U19s finishing the game, incredible how well they’re doing - this just doesn’t happen in the PL anymore.

I see that 2 keepers have made the top four for number of saves made this season in a game by PL keepers against the Albion. We have gone a bit Potteresque at home haven’t we? Especially against lower league teams when we have completely dominated.

I said the same but was told it’s not the same - but it really is - and with better players at our disposal

Come on the Toffees. Sounds kinky that.
Draw or Fulham win.
Good luck Luton. I want Citeh to be at their very best in their next league game.
Draw in the other game please.

If Luton and Everton get something today, that club up the 23 would have lost ground to every club below them this weekend. Make it happen please.

Ever since Villa avoided relegation thanks (at least in part) to failing goalline technology I have found them to be one of my least favourite sides in the premier league and it irritates and annoys me to see them succeed. Probably doesn't help that we have been so terrible against them in our last couple of games.

But there would be something funny about it if the year Man City fail to win the prem, Unai Emery's Villa pips Arsenal to the title, when the gunners have been looked at as the biggest threat.

100% I’m also hoping they get serious, ‘player unsettling’ offers for Luiz, Watkins, McGinn and Martinez in January and Arsenal realise they need to get Emery back.

Agreed.

Martinez immediately makes any team he plays for utterly unlikeable, and I also can't warm to McGinn at all.

That 6-1 defeat really grates me. It wasn't a 6-1 game in any way - absolutely everything went for them, and nothing went for us. I think I'm right in saying we ever out-Xg-ed them on that day too.

Wankers.

And the two goals that put them 3-1 up should have been ruled out, according to an independent panel. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...o-jota-red-card-liverpool-spurs-was-incorrect

Right, here we go again...

Everton v Chelsea (14:00) -H
Fulham v West Ham United (14:00) -One of those bleeders, so probably D, but H very acceptable
Luton Town v Manchester City (14:00) -H, basically for lols.
Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United (16:30) -Well, if there was ever a game we want a draw in, this is it. So D

Riding their luck and before kick off yesterday only had THREE injuries to their first team squad. Luck like they are having doesn’t last a season. Currently my most disliked club in the league

Very much this, they have an unbelievable amount of luck that just can't continue. Also seem to get the benefit of most of their VAR decisions.
They really do have a large number of unlikable players.
