Saints-Everton first up.

Followed by Wolves-Geordies.

Finally Arsenal-Leicester.

Also both Old Firm teams play in the SPFL.

And there an FA Cup 4th qualifying round tie Flyde-Altrincham big derby that one.

Oh! and lastly BFC Women have a home game against Stoke, looking to build on the 3-1 win they enjoyed at Loughborough last week.

Well well Celtic behind at Aberdeen, it's not been a good week for them and it might be about to get worse.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 1:52 pm

A thriller at Pittodrie 3-3 in the end, 3 penalties, 2 for Aberdeen, 1 for Celtic, Celtic all over the shop at the back, I can't see Lenny lasting much longer in the Parkhead hot seat at this rate.

Ings vs Keane now, 100th Everton appearance for Keane today, and needless to say Pickford starts again.

Hideous Everton away kit, who on earth thought that would be suitable should be sacked.

1-0 Saints

Lovely ball by Ings for the goal.

That United kit is the worst I have ever seen.

Sometimes think we could do better with kits but usually then look at United’s to make me feel better about ours!

Great goal by Saints, can't see them being in the relegation mix this time.

Nothing can be worse then the Zebra outfit, but this Everton one is close.

Yep if he's not scoring he's assisting, and that's all you can ask of your main man.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 2:46 pm

Che Adams is much improved, might well be due to working alongside Ings.

I thought Sheffield utd's Green and Beige was the worst i've seen this season.

It's credit to their board that they kept faith with Ralph Hasenhuttl after the 9-0 debacle against Leicester, it would have been easy to give him the push following that night, but they stuck with him, and now they're reaping the rewards.

There are definitely some horrendous away strips this season.

Can’t see much wrong with Everton’s kit. Personally I quite like it.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:18 pm

At least you can pick the players out easily with it, not like all these black/very dark strips. On another note, Pickford's arms are definitely too short to be a goalkeeper.

You can certainly pick them out that's true, it's not bringing them much luck today though Saints are giving them the run around this afternoon.

Pickford will still be in the goal when England play again, apparently GS rates him as a good ball player, personally I'd rather have someone who keeps the ball out of the net, but maybe I'm old-fashioned that way.

Hmm. No. That truly was hideous. An insult to Zebras everywhere!!! I thought the referee was a Zoo keeper.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:29 pm

Digne off. Not a nice challenge but probably accidental. He was playing the game on the edge though. Little chance of a comeback now.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:30 pm

Surprised it didn't break his ankle.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:32 pm

That's a red all day long. 2 reds in 2 games for Everton now, and these suspensions will begin to bite soon.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:37 pm

Watching it I thought Friend had got the red card horribly wrong. Then I saw it again.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:38 pm

RED CARD all day long ... accidental or not ... he stood on the lads foot from behind and could have damaged ankle ligaments etc.... Dangerous play end of

Jakubclaret · Post by **Jakubclaret** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:41 pm

Purely accidental but still reckless & dangerous, deserved to go.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:47 pm

Ings really is a class act. Think he runs Defour close as the best player I've seen in a Burnley shirt.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:47 pm

Pickford nearly dropping another clanger there he's a lucky boy.

I'd rate Ings above Defour purely on the fact he played more games, both were top class for us though, it's just a shame we didn't see more of either in a Clarets shirt.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 3:58 pm

It's a funny old game as they say, a year ago today Southampton lost 9-0 at home to Leicester, 12 months later and they beat the league leaders in style.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 4:01 pm

Rangers 2 up at HT, 300th club career goal for Defoe. Arfield on the bench.

Based on overall contribution definetely. Would have loved to have seen them in the same team.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 4:14 pm

Jeff starting in centre midfield today, will be interesting to see how he gets on.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 4:18 pm

I've recently started watching "A league of their own", now that Corden has left, and Jamie Redknapp is on there.

I can certainly see why Louise left him!

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 5:00 pm

Please don't put me down as a Jeff hater. But what does he actually bring to the Newcastle team? They picked him up on a free so no fee involved so they can pay him a decent amount per week. But watching the game today what does he actually do but run about looking abit lost?

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 5:51 pm

Got to love Traore's oiled-up arms. Hopefully he livens the game up.

You probably said the same when he was at Burnley

1-0 Wolves. Jiminez, he is some player.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 6:08 pm

1-0 Wolves at last Jimenez good.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 6:09 pm

Another goal for Jiménez but it should have been saved

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 6:15 pm

1-1. Crap goalkeeping.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 6:15 pm

Shocking from the keeper

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 25, 2020 6:17 pm

Shocking from the keeper there, Newcastle might have stolen a point here, a totally undeserved point but they all count.

I'd agree with that. At this stage of the season a Wolves win would have been the worst possible result.

Don’t think we’ll be competing with Newcastle either, really. Right now just don’t want the mid table to open up a lot more.
