Oh you've reappeared after the early season implosion I see. Yes we've got 2 groups who dont get on in our fan base, it happens and nope, not a good look.

Still, apart from that and the late loss, still enjoyed a great trip.

Re-appeared? Never really disappeared but have a family and job so can’t be on here all the time. Sorry about that

Glad you enjoyed the trip! Shame about those few fans. Happened at Reading away 15 years ago (and famously when two fans kicked off over the last pie on the concourse )

Was hoping to get out to Uterecht in a few weeks but can’t make it work around other stuff going on, which sucks. Hopefully we make it through the playoffs so I might get a chance to go to Europe this season.

Last night I saw it, goal resulted

Now, in first minute, again.

These teams, hidebound in fashionable thinking, with goalie and backs playing the ball among them in their goal and penalty area , and then wondering why a mistake results in a goal being scored.
It goes on and on, apparently unable to learn.
Possession football, my —se.

City have scored a goal after a two minute VAR check. But for me it should be ruled out. I said exactly the same a couple of weeks ago when City had a couple of goals scored against them.
Bernado Silva is impeding the keeper, he is deliberately blocking the keeper from getting to the ball. Which he does. Gvardiol then sticks it home. Bernado in the box is offside but not in the keepers line of sight.
Mark my words, more and more keepers are going to be impeded and it’s going to kick off with the inconsistency re fouls given and not given and goals given and not given.

This has been a common theme all season and it has been kicking off with the inconsistency.
Not so much mark my words more like late to the party

What a comeback!

Woltemade!!!!!!

It wasn’t late when I said it a month ago. I don’t think a lot of clubs/ fans have been affected by it yet. And they will

We're having a shocker tonight. No redeeming element anywhere on the pitch.

Class finish that

Pickford........England's number one.......god help us!!

It has been happening all season in various forms.
Think Bournemouth scored direct from a corner in the first couple of matches when the keeper was impeded (allegedly).
Arsenal used it a lot last season as well and it was talked about then.

Pickford........England's number one.......god help us!!

Come off it, that's a cheap shot. He was outstanding on Monday. He's never let England down in over 80 odd appearances either. I've only seen the first and third goals but you can't blame him for either. First is just a great corner and the third was terrible defending and a great finish.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The second was a shocker from Pickford but he has an enormous amount of credit in the bank

Was looking at having a betbuilder on this.
Do any of the Everton players actually have shots on target?

Not tonight. New keeper in for Newcastle, he still has clean gloves

I've seen Reading fans kick off over which one was the bigger fan. One claimed because he had a tattoo he was and it ended up with punches thrown

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Back on now. Watch out Toon

 

[irip]

Not been a good week on Merseyside.
I wonder the last time Liverpool & Everton both lost 1-4 at home in the same week

Pickford........England's number one.......god help us!!

Well, he was bloody good in his previous game!!

 

[nickjdavis]

Excellent overall performance tonight. Irrespective of anything though, this game, and last weeks match against Man City, just demonstrate that we are a totally different team attacking wise, when we have Livramento and Hall at full back. They offer so many more options and flexibility and link up really well with the wide players. Livramento also largely kept Grealish quiet for most of the game.

Cant wait for Wissa to be an option upfront to take the load of Woltemade and provide a different kind of threat.

Slowly moving up the table and despite the indifferent start to the season, we are now only 4 points off a CL place. Its very tight with just 4 points separating 4th and 14th places.
