In that case, a draw would always be preferable.

Eh? No, I want Everton to win. They’re my second team while Dyche is in charge.

Everton leading.

Not sure whether we want that or not. It is against Bournemouth. Keeps them below us.

Absolutely too early to be worrying what other teams are doing. As long we beat the teams around us we’ll be fine.
I hope Everton win btw!

Ex-players very rarely offer revealing and interesting insights into what it’s like to play football, well okay, they can be occasionally interesting, but they are relied on far too readily.
I’d rather listen to a football journalist that can articulate his (or her) thoughts.

I don't imagine he is saying "ref he never touched me I slipped" considering the next action is a straight red. I could be wrong and Patrick is pleading on behalf of the keeper I suppose

Fair enough. And apologies for my slightly sarcastic comment.

Bamford might find himself being asked to explain why he is appealing to the ref after diving

He is definitely saying something to the ref.
Did you hear what he said because I don’t believe it’s possible to make it out?

Interesting to see Larsen's goal from the restart as the main cameras missed all the build up. The whole move started with a long pass from Trafford out to Charlie Taylor on the left, maybe his distribution is a bit more than just hoofing it aimlessly as some posters seem to think. Surely somewhere...

chekhov

Hmmm…both our goals came from moves initiated by the keeper?
Makes you think…

Brilliant solo goal from Huggins for Sunderland.

I think this match thread is the most embarrassing one yet, and it's mostly the same oddbods every single time. They make the thread unreadable and offer nothing apart from persistently slagging off the players and manager.

The thread title doesn’t help. Embarrassing is about right.

I’m giving LFC grief because of the big club bias that they and others in the league appear to get from the authorities and officials. I actually hope they get something done though, as they were “wronged” by VAR, but I can bet statistically they have over time been massive beneficiaries of VAR as ...

It’s unfortunate timing that Chelsea are starting to look halfway competent.

Another **** VAR decision for me in the Spurs Liverpool game.

That’s a review made (and shown) by someone that doesn’t understand football.

I agree it was a ridicliarse decision.

Can't say they don't deserve it the way they shafted Darren Moore after getting them promoted.

Great goal by Clarke

The sacking of Moore is down to the terrible owners. Personally I’ve got a soft spot for Weds, I hope they manage to extricate themselves from the mess they’re in.

2-0 down after 7 minutes. It’s turning out to be a bad week for the city of Sheffield.

I think it's fair to say that the result is beyond doubt.
The only question now is, which of the two other Manchester clubs we get in the next round?

Yes it’s a depressing thought

1-0 Gunners.
Big deflection.

Surprised it’s been credited to Saka. His shot looked to be heading wide.

chekhov

More big club bias!
Oh, wait a sec…

chekhov

Last night was a real smash and grab.
I thought they were poor overall, aided by an own goal and scoring from just about their only chance.
I agree pretty much with claretforever’s assessment.

Decided to go with PNE v Brum, see if Preston are worth the hype they're getting

On the evidence so far, the answer is no.

(Welsh) Aaron Ramsey has been very impressive. I though he was a spent force having seen him play for Wales in the WC, but he seems rejuvenated for Cardiff.

Wouldn't mind it to be honest. Would make for some cracking games. If we stay up obvs. Which I think we will.
