    I haven't watched it in years, to be honest. The sky highlights on youtube do enough for me.

    See this is the problem with these smaller teams, they get themselves all worked up for what is their cup final on the Monday and leave themselves all tuckered out for the Saturday.

    14 consecutive scoreless draws might do it for us.

    Is that the second or third bottom of the league side Liverpool have managed to lose to this season? Pretty sure Forest were, Leeds might have been at the time.

    Whilst that would be great, it would actually break Brighton. European football might be a step too far for them at this stage [particularly seeing as they are likely to be raided in the summer]. They're pretty much at the limit of their capabilities/expectation ceiling where they are and trying to smash through that just ends up in the sort of shitshow West Ham now find themselves. It's a bit rubbish, but that's the way it is.

    Maybe G Potts Chelsea can make a late run at it, although one of Spurs and Newcastle probably more likely.

    Hopefully Liverpool can sort their wretched away form in their next league game.

    Think I saw that Bournemouth and Man Utd have a combined aggregate score of like 17-2 for Liverpool and they got 6 points out of 12.

    If they came 4th this season, they wouldn't come 4th again next season but then they won't be doing that anyway. Can't be having it being a net bad thing on average.

    Think we'd have to win 11 from 13, which would mean scoring in 11 from 13, which isn't going to happen.

    I didnt see much of the game beyond the first 10 mins as I had to go out, however it sounded like the usual script of our away games, despite the promising early start.

    We've only won 3 away games all season(Villa, Saudi and Spurs), so that's going to need to massively change if this top 4 (3rd, lol)talk is at all serious.

    It looked like a 3-0 stroll for the first twenty odd minutes. That triple change in the second half was truly bizarre.

    No idea why he kept the 4 when his players are just clearly 3 atb specialists. Another shot off the woodwork and a goal disallowed in this game - think this has happened in 80% of Potter’s games.

    And now they concede after dominating. Same thing every week.

    Quite aside from his technical abilities, he seems to be a natural born leader which is what we have needed very badly.

    The goal was the weirdest thing ever. Nobody even reacted including the fans. I just assumed he was 5 yards offside.

    Referee should have seen 2 Leicester players off by now

    Top Gear went down the toilet once the legends quit. I dont think MOTD will have the same effect. Nobody cares.

    Get a load of the Kvaradona goal and Osimhen assist. If they don't do the double it'll be a shame. We'll look back fondly on this duo's season in decades gone.

    Is that because he's the only one bright enough to kick the ball to their giant goal freak? (I know it's not just that, he's amazing.)

    The fuckers have gone and ruined the highlights by shortening them to such a degree that it's almost impossible to keep up with them so you lose interest. Champions League Weekly highlights on ITV used to do this. They must of thought no one would have watched without those fucking tragic cunts and their shittalk and now their value has been artificially inflated thanks to this botch job.

    Super League has been broadcasting highlights without commentary for years, and it's harder for casual fans to make out what is going on there than on a football pitch.

    Football without commentary or pundits is just wrong - the BBC need to sort this.
