With all the shenanigans that have gone off at Everton this season. If they had not had points deducted. They would be a respectable mid table.
Is that not a bad effort for the team despite of the off field distractions.

Motd actually showed that in a league table last night, rather than just saying, add 8 points. Very decent when you take every into account. We have done it in bursts this year, a more even spread would be better for the nerves .

It looks like the summer is going to be problematic, players sold, loanees all returning, a few out of contract (not a bad thing in some cases), and a worrying number coming into the last year of their contract.

The cupboard could be very bare in terms of our squad for next season. Don't fancy loaning us a couple of spare wonderkids do you? We will play them every week, look after them, be their friends

Everton need some off field certainty so that they can get organised for next season a bit sharpish.

Everton are the turd that just won't flush....there's always next year!

Not really answered my question though.

Discussion between City’s players when they had a penalty. Gvardiol was on for a hat trick and was offered the chance of taking it. Bottom line it was agreed the penalty taker was on the pitch and he took it and scored.
No dramas or fighting over the penalty. Goal difference improves.
Simples.
Seems some still
Put the team before the individual.

Saw that on MOTD. It appeared Walker offered him the chance and he said no. Minimum of fuss. Let the penalty taker take it. Couldn't be more different to Chelsea a few weeks back!

And it’s currently a boring nil nil draw with a grand total of 2 shots on target

Thrilling

Relegation confirmed for Burnley yesterday. And not a single word of criticism of their manager Vincent Kompany throughout the whole season by the media.

Is this a record? And can all future managers of my club please hire his PR firm?!

Some great games can be 0-0.
Leeds and Norwich game plans cancelled each other out.
I found it absorbing seeing who would break first.

It was shocking ,dull 0-0 with no one wanting to make a mistake. 2 shots on target the whole game doesn’t make a “great game” . There was zero entertainment or excitement- so yep prob close to a Scottish league game

I watched the Bolton 2 - 3 Barnsley game. Cracking end to end stuff played at 100mph. Great advert for League 1, and neither team would be out of place if promoted. Whether Leeds/Norwich cancelled each other or they were both just off form, who know, but it was a waste of 2 hours.

It was - a very good game and two teams just going for it

Just watched UTD ladies smash Spurs 4-0 in their FA Cup Final.
Now I'm be watching Arsenal probably smash Utd in the EPL.
The team looks awful, it has a real 'bare bones' look about it ....................... and check out the bench!
I'm going 1-4 at the very least.
I'm not really looking forward to this or playing Newcastle on Wednesday.
Don't expect a squirrel today.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Well, that was a little easy.

Trossard has been a great buy for Arsenal

This could be ugly for Man Utd - even worse than the 5 nil mullering they got a couple years ago

At 0 - 1 Utd are still in the game, and they’re usually good for 1 goal but if an inform Arsenal have turned up it could get very painful.

Think the player there needed to drag his foot behind him and he would have got the penalty

Watching it again and the Arsenal player ( Partey) sticks that leg out there

We all know Utd are famous for never getting decisions, especially at Old Trafford.
