Swindon's first league match since March (hence I'm glad of the 'return') and then one of our best players (Michael Doughty) reveals he's quit for personal reasons :|. Just had a kid apparently and wife struggling with him being away - fair enough. He doesn't need the money after all. Good luck to him.

Really need Fulham and West Brom to go under to save us from 37 more games for each. Just what they think they could have achieved with their respective squads is anyone's guess.
Tottenham XI: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Alli, Son, Kane, Moura.
Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Allan, Gomes, Doucoure, James, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.
:uhoh:
They're alright in midfield but they're awful up top.Quote:

He is only away from home for 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. His wife and baby needs to know their role.Quote:

Setting aside the partial ignorance, you do raise a good point in that he probably sees more of his wife and family than many people who are working 9 till 5 with a commute either side. Certainly pre-covid.Quote:

Everton's upgrades in midfield have led to a frightening jump in quality. Not quite top 4 contenders due to giving special needs kids a chance at either end of the pitch but the defence and midfield is superb. Least that's one less eye-bleeding team in the league.
Ancelotti's got them defending set pieces deep with two lines of 4 though which is surely suicide, particularly with England's Number 1 in goal.
It's Everton.
Sounds like his alliance has switched to all of the Merseyside
Everton look a hell of a side. Banishing Davies & Sigurdsson the key, Hamez a relatively minor boost.
Calvert-Lewin needs to start for England asap.
Allan and Doucoure is the sort of midfield two that sees you secure CL semi-final spots.
DCL remains an enigma.
Allan looked levels above. They should finish top 6/7 with fair ease. Think they’ll still sign another player or two, they’re fucking minted.
GTFO :lol:Quote:

They are all as fickle as each other. Bunch of so called experts writing bollocks that follows the tide of opinion that will no doubt contradict their own previous statement.
Ps. The Sky Sports report is slating Spurs. Were they equally as bad as Everton were good?
Probably.Quote:

You get better analysis and opinion on The Third Half dot com than you do in the media. FACT.
I hope this leads to me getting a Channel 5 punditry gig. Just get me any of the nights Pat Nevin isn't around. I don't want to get shown up.
James looks good but need to see that against a team with more resilience than wet tissue paper before a proper verdict can be reached. Like when Ceballos dicked on Burnley for his debut then went AWOL for six months.
Do you read anything you see on Twitter? The article is the same post-match one. The previous heading was a poorly constructed one and has been amended to make it clearer. Both are saying the same thing.Quote:

Some proper Oscar worthy play acting by the two Marseille players.
PSG have now played 2 lost 2.
Neymar saying it was racism. Normally I wouldn't condone it but it's Neymar so hahahahha. Plus the geezer is the same one who called Messi a dwarf so is quite clearly an absolute don doing it for the bants.

There seems to be a massive influx of “man buns” in the premier league. Copying me innit.

.....describing black players as possessing ‘pace’ and/or ‘power’ could present the danger of falling ‘into the trap of racial stereotyping.’
:lol:
What is the racial stereotype for white people if black people are full of power and pace?
Intelligent.
"Technique" and "Intelligence" probably.
What happens if a black player actually is fast and powerful?
3 game ban.
Show me a black life with a cultured wand. Yaya is the only one coming to mind even though there must be a raft of them (no pun intended).
That Seri fella was the ***** Xavi.
Naby doesn't seem to have much pace and power.
Why did Utd get the extra week off?
European commitments, something to do with needing X full weeks off so their semi got them the extra week even though it was only a few days after Wolves European game (is that right) - also due to not wanting to play midweek for some reason.
I'm pretty sure City would have rather battered Villa over the weekend than have to fit that in somewhere later in what is going to be a very congested season.
Wolves :drool:
Shocking defense from Sheffield.
Go team.Quote:
