Got to say, Everton have Never had to get out of second gear tonight.
Burnley will be doing well to stay up this season looking at this performance.

I missed the first half, caught the 2nd. Burnley just look lightweight. A bit Norwich in past seasons, good enough to stroll the championship but not good enough to stay in the PL.

They need a bit of steel, need to mix things up a bit. They are not that tough to play against, that has to change if they want to stay up.

Cracking 3 points for Everton though, keeps the run going. Throw the 10 points back in, I know it won't happen, and we are level with Brighton. It's a hugely better season than the last few years.

Well done The Toffees and looks like Relegation has been sorted in The Premiership before Christmas.

It just shows what a huge difference there is between the top 3 of The Championship and the “lower’ established Clubs in The premiership. There are of course exceptions but unlikely this season, sure all Notts Forest fans will agree.

Unfortunately I do know, the clubs and players gave them too much power and the simple fact is now you need to agree to pay the agent fee before the player will even talk about a transfer to a club. If the club will not pay it, they take their player elsewhere. Also why you get unqualified family members raking it in as agents as they need to do very little but get the massive fee anyway. Also why those agents are always looking to tout their player/relative to another club as that is where the big bucks come from, not from extending contracts.

Would not take much for FIFA to ban the payments to agents by clubs but will never happen.

I used to run a scheme backed by fifa that insured the players agents so I got to meet lots of them. The majority were absolute aholes!

Marco Silva has flat out embarrassed himself with his rant yesterday. Hopefully he gets a healthy ban himself for what he said.

I'm surprised Newcastle played as well as they did when faced with the retina burning away kit that Fulham were in

And this is the perfect example of why such diversity is needed. Completely unnecessary.

Funny how MOTD never even spoke about the yellow for Citys keeper Ederson.

Thats a stonewall red, if a keeper comes steaming out like that he must get the ball.

Did anything come of Haalands bitch fit at the ref the other week?

Really disappointed with Moyes handling of the keeper situation at our club tbh.

Areola has been number 1 all season, gets a slight knock and fab comes in. Yes does well but last season fab got injured and areola came in played well and was dropped soon as fab was back.

Seems incredibly inconsistent to not bring areola back in.

Considering fab shipped 5 last week aswell.

Not seen it and it probably is but when Onana wiped out the wolves player.

Keepers get too much protection and are allowed to wipe out players in the air with no consequences

He has declared himself unavailable or two weeks

Am sure the woman ref will remind him A couple of weeks and give him a red.

and given you'd hear far worse on a night out with a female sports team demonstrates how wrong you are.

This thread is full of remarks slagging off male referees. I guess that is sexist?

This kind of common sense comment has no place on a football thread

 

[IanM]

I remember the first time we had Sian Massey running the line.

5 mins of daft remarks, then totally forgotten when her competence became apparent.

Kudus again. 4th premier league goal this season. What a signing. Worth every penny

 

[clubchamp98]

Did West Ham get beat 5-0 midweek? Just the commentators havnt mentioned it?

Joke. Two of them are hopeless.
