Today's football

Post by ecc » Sat Oct 07, 2023 12:24 pm

Ok, clearly need Spurs to do the business at Luton but I fear a NL cockerel-up.

Everton v Bournemouth. Another six-pointer for Everton. Draw best. Defeat might see dodgy scenes at the end.

Fulham v SU. Still think Fulham might possibly join the relegation chase. I hope so. Another defeat for the Blades will probably seal Heckingbottom's fate.

NH v Brentford. I doubt whether Brentford will go down but we really need a home win (IMHO).

Palace v Forest: Home win. Above all, not an away win.

Guy with a dog in the stand at Luton. Is this allowed ? Haha didn’t look like a guide dog.

If Tottenham win by two goals or more, we’ll be out of the bottom three before we kick off.

I'm worried about how many chances Spurs are spurning.

Spurs always seem to cock up if a favourable result would benefit us 🙄

I wish Spurs had been this wasteful when they played us, they should be comfortably 4 up and yet it's 0-0 and they are now down to 10 men !! Bissouma off for diving

Well done, ref!

How do you get to be a professional footballer and not have the confidence to pass the ball into the net from 2 yards with your left foot? What a donkey.

Also begs the question as to how we managed to let in five easy goals against Spurs

Look dangerous going forward Luton and the game panning out similar to the other night. They just lack the finishing which will ultimately cost them.

So Everton after today will have played Fulham, Wolves, Luton & Bournemouth at home (so far won none!)

We will have played City United Villa Spurs Chelsea.

Amazing the contrast in fixtures between us and them isn’t it. Add they’ve played Sheff Utd and Brentford away too!

Sunderland getting a right belting at the moment, at home to Boro, 0-3.

Did you watch them today? They absolutely battered Luton for most of the game and could have been 4-0 up in the first 15 mins. The thing is with football sometimes you take your chances sometimes you don’t. Against us they were incredibly clinical, two outside the box strikes into the top bin.

Great result.

Spijed: Spurs should have had it tied up by HT. But then they lose a man and Luton, as we know, battle.

In any case, only the result matters.

What worries me is that Luton don't yield and will get points if they play like they've been doing.

God help us if Luton start opening their eyes on free headers and remember they can score with either foot.

Everton 2 up.

Win for us would be huge as a gap to the bottom 3 starts to form.
