What’s he doing there that’s shocking defending.
Agreed, but it’s massively unfortunate and out of character. The lad must be sick, first game since august due to injury and he makes that mistake. Two weeks to regroup and a massive run in. Wolves at home, without sounding dramatic, is make or break.

Looked to me like the striker pushes his arm up.
you need to be stronger than that.
He must be gutted as Forest defended very well.

The Standard in the prem this season is poor imo.
Not taking anything away from Arsenal,they play good football.
But the opposition aren’t the best.
Can't say I agree with that.
This season the lower teams have upped their games. Even for the top teams there's no easy games and it's no given that they will win as in past seasons.
It's been really interesting this year, take Brighton, Brentford, Newcastle, all vying for European places.
It's a bit like the Tiger Woods syndrome, everyone had to up their game and fitness to compete.
Really enjoyed the ups and downs this season.

But City haven’t been anywhere near their best this season.
Spurs currently 4th & they’re terrible.

Well there’s a surprise. Lineker avoided taking a swipe at the BBC, but teed Shearer up nicely so that he could do it instead.

Move on, please.

Those not watching the Chelsea v Everton game are missing an absolute belter 🤭

Okay, maybe not. No real scares so far but it could be a long second half. Proper bodies on the line defending from Everton.

Couldn't be more Everton than that could it, wait till they go a goal behind then come out of their shell and score, pity we didn't have a bit more self belief might win a few more games

Well, this weeks’ Super 6 is a bit of a joke. Five fixtures down and the fifteen in my league are all tied on a whopping 2 points.

Pin the tail on the donkey, or what?

Well you almost cursed that. 😂

A point was always going to be a good result. Delighted for Simms though. Hope that shakes his nervy early appearances and boosts his confidence. We need more runs like that from him.

I know, I got too excited 😄.

Definitely a point gained. Keeps us ticking over and a positive mood going into the break. Hopefully a breakthrough moment for Simms, blimey do we need a goalscorer through the middle right now. Chance to be a hero.

Good point for Everton.
