In BB's apparent absence.....

As in previous years, footy fans please sign in with

4. A thought on this season (Premiership/Championship/Champions’ League/FA Cup/any leagues world wide/fallout from the World Cup.)

Liverpool 24 points.
Leicester and Chelsea 17.

That is BIG

I was at the Gills match this afternoon so didn't listen to the Spurs game, but from what I have heard it was another pathetic performance with help from VAR. Will brave MOTD later to see the full horror.

Toffee I was listening to the first half of the Everton match and I was impressed. Sounded like they were in full control. Credit to Silva.

Yes credit to Silva for making the changes, to be fair he was forced to due to injuries and suspensions but he put Siggy on the bench and left Schneiderlin out. Gomes and Davies were great and the pace was sooo much better. Now keep it going Marco!

There was a lot of VAR controversy in the later matches

VAR is our friend at MUFC. Little so pleasing at footie than a bitter scouser.

Would have taken a draw at K.O. - feels like a defeat at the end. Football eh?

I don't think VAR has been the success they thought it would be so far. Hasn't really cleared up much just added to the confusion.

Nice to get a clean sheet! Especially as Zouma is a disaster some games.
No Ajax fans at the Chelsea home game be odd. Some are trying to go to Leyton Orient instead

There is def. a new law that says Man Utd are not allowed to score more than one goal per game.
Who knew?

That law definitely doesn't apply to Leicester, 9!

Gutted, such a cruel way to lose. Never a penalty

Shouldn't have been a penalty. VAR is all over the place.

Happy with the way this game is going. Hoping can keep a clean sheet though! We want 5!

Well done Chelsea despite the no clean sheet.

Yeah I don't think we often do clean sheets...

Wonder what drama VAR will bring today.. Doesn't seem to be a match weekend where it doesn't go smoothly. So many problems. Guess it's how someone else views it though which isn't always right

The VAR assistent was Lee Mason and according to the statistics; Including video assistant referees, Lee Mason has awarded Everton's opponents 9 penalties - more than any other referee since WWII

Wonder why they call us bitter

At least our women beat Brighton 2-0 today.

I nearly did an actual cry on Friday night
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Very poor first half, better second and a deserved win, just stop hitting the woodwork! COYB ⚽️⚽️

Horrible injury and hope for speedy recovery but the red card has caused a lot of debate.. As has VAR once again..

Happy with yesterday's win even if made it hard at the end!

The draw was a fair result for 2 poor teams. VAR was a farce and is ruining the game. I really don't know what to think about the red card, it was a rash tackle from behind that went horribly wrong.

Horrific for Andre Gomes, I felt sick watching it.
We have no luck at the moment.

Awful injury to Gomes and i hope he makes a full recovery.

VAR is worse than useless, costing teams (admittedly some more than others) decisions/points every week.

Listened to the game on fivelive and it was dire. Both teams can play so much better than that.

The club put up a statement that Andre Gomes underwent surgery to repair a fracture dislocation to his right ankle earlier today and the procedure went extremely well. He is expected to make a full recovery.

⚽️💙

We won an away game

:-D hurrah!!! Don't think what was said about the Brighton penalty comes as any shock...

After the crazy game of Tuesday nice to have a calm game..

Can't believe how poor Spurs are. Awful.

I'm surprised!! Especially after last season. Though guess if don't add it effects?

Jose been rumour linked with Spurs and Arsenal. Know neither have sacked the manager but be interesting to see what happens.

Just hope Chelsea good start continues.

I hope Spurs keep Poch. His subs and team selections have been a bit questionable at times but I still feel he is the right man for the job. He just needs to go back to basics and spend big in Jan

Great wins for Everton and Chelsea. Chelsea are doing much better than I thought they would.

City lost

And more VAR controvesy in that match too
Cough Liverpool were the better team though cough

Cannot believe Spurs have sacked Poch based on a few months of poor form. After what he has done for the club over the past 5 years a little bit more time wasn't too much to ask. I am really unhappy with this decision. Expect Jose will be in charge by Saturday .
