I can't explain how angry I am at that decision. 

Fucking horrific decision.

The refs are beyond help.

[Laylabelle 9,411]

Urghhh. Oh well their results won't effect us I don't think...

[Strike 7,303]

At least Burnley held on. McNeil was very good

Arsenal dropping points has made my day. They were breathing down our necks.

Esp with 3 games in hand. Hopefully we can do something with this rather then lose and be back to them there.

we need Citeh to smash spuds, so spuds cannot go in fron of us simply with games in hand

the tile is gone, so time to start rooting for Citeh versus all out rivals (seems like this is a yearly occurrence, lolol)

Can't believe Hodgson is willing to get himself into the Watford circus at the age of 74.

Liverpool buying that green bloke has driven Robertson to a new level. 
 

All for buying that Sosa bloke to compete with Chilwell. Dest for RWB to compete with James. 

To be fair Robertson is arguably the best or one of the top 3 LBs on the planet and has been for a few seasons now. I don’t think a back up LB signing has really escalated his performances that well. Just looks like he’s back to his best after a very up and down season last year or probably kicking on even more, which at 27, is always likely to happen.

Dest and Sosa would be interesting buys, again like Dembele at Barca, not sure why Dest hasn’t really took off there as he was very promising at Ajax, but another American player and we need to make sure the moves football related and not marketing related.

Premier League clubs have agreed on new postponement guidance that says teams will have to show four positive COVID-19 cases in order to have a match called off.

The guidance change comes after a series of controversial decisions to call off matches, with clubs using a combination of coronavirus, injuries, suspensions and players on international duty to postpone games.

 

why did they not do this from the start….

I find the whole Everton situation a bit weird. Everton fans wanting Lampard in? Really?

Some of the points Matt Law made, I am a but skeptical. On transfer decisions lets be honest, they may have been ‘good decisions’ on paper but he was utterly fucking clueless at making them play together or finding roles in the team for them. 

Track record and getting ideas across quickly points are also slightly debatable as he ultimately looked out of his depth here after the first half of the first season as we seemed to be so inconsistent or tactically outmanoeuvred on a regular basis. Not to mention blowing up a 12 point lead in the top 4 to finish 4th on the final day of the season. 

And are Evertons young players that good? Or as good as the boys Frank took through here? 

The Everton job is another one, like the Newcastle and Norwich jobs, which if he were to go in and get it wrong, it could be the nail in the coffin for him getting another PL chance for a long time IMO. I mean when do you really see young manager being appointed and going into a relegation battle, barring Pochettino at Southampton and Marco Silva at Hull, and doing well? Even Hull still got relegated with Silva.

Steven Gerrard has kicked Villa on & players wanna play for him.

Everton as a club would be a high profile and exciting job for Frank Lampard, in theory.

But in practice, the club is a shit show.

It's not like he can choose. It's either that or Championship.

Can't believe Everton prefer a manager that relegated Fenerbache vs Lampard.
