Who is going to win the premiership title.

Hope Everton get 4th. They do really well even when loosing their top players.

ive nothing against Everton, but it kinda makes a mockery of FFP. Arsenal balance the books and are ridiculed for failure. Everton are where they are with some cushy loans of players that f they had bought would have bankrupt them and everybody else looks the other way......

They are giving players the chance to play - they loan in two players and understand are looking to purchase them ( if rumours are to believed )

Loans have been going on for decades now and help clubs at both ends of the table - only a certain amount of clubs can afford to splash out constantly.

They still need to balance the books in terms of wages

Its better to have loans that clubs spending beyond their means

Yeah fair point. If Arsenal wanted a player like Lukaku they'd have had to spend £30m. Probably because Chelsea & City don't see Everton as rivals.
Either way it's a good bit of business for Everton.

Im not accusing Everton of wrong doing. But the loan system at its inception was more about the loaning out of a bigger clubs youngsters to lower division teams for their development. It's not used by clubs to stock pile players. The fact they can't play against their parent clubs exasperates the situation. Chelsea can let a star try and take points off opponents and not themselves. Other clubs also, although rumours circling of wrongdoing between Chelsea and their Dutch counterparts.......
also Garetg Barry, whilst not everyone's cup of tea is a contender for their player of the season and is no spring chicken.

That was an impressive performance by them - it would be highly amusing if it came down to the City came for them

win and they get 4th but by winning they also handed us the title

Barkley looks very impressive and played in a deeper role - Woy need to play him for England

Happy if it meant Wenger resigned on a high.
Unhappy if it meant he signed a new contract.

Well thats an interesting decision from the ref - lino flags for a foul - clear foul from Carroll on the keeper. But then the ref gives a goal after chatting to the lino ? Interesting

They do indeed - it appears they had a conversation to ensure it happened

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Another poor decision

Has he done that to level things up ?

All evens now. Wonder if he can keep it that way?

Another penalty conceded by the Hammers and Gerrard duly knocks it in.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Dodgy decisions even themselves out again.

I'm sure it happens, would be interesting to see how many soft penalties are given if mistakes made in first half?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Kolo Toure !!!! Noooo !!

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Well that was ugly and scrappy but the win was the main thing - back to the top we go

 

[Pin-seeker]

Probably best that the ref gave the 2nd pen,or it would av been poor old us yet again.
