    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.

    They're alright in midfield but they're awful up top.

    He's probably very mediocre but Filip Krovonovic is a fun Modric-esque player to watch

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

    I didn't realise Swindon didn't train or do recovery sessions and all that. Only one game a week too? Sounds like a pretty sweet setup.

    Vardy now has more premier league goals than Drogba and he really is a massive cunt with him taunting the crowd after every goal he scores. Even with empty stadiums

    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.

    Perhaps, but it's all relative, isn't it? Plus I think he's started some sort of business around making sustainable trainers so I imagine that's taken up a fair amount of time.

    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.

    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.

    Probably.

    Well, probably not but whatever, Liverpool tried having the best midfield in the league for years and it was of no use. Sorting the defence/goalkeeper and having people to score goals worked better.

    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.

    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.

    .....describing black players as possessing ‘pace’ and/or ‘power’ could present the danger of falling ‘into the trap of racial stereotyping.’

    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.
