Could easily have been worse. At least we don't get Croatia for a change...

And no Italy again. They went out at this stage in 2018 also.

Excellent win for Brentford this afternoon - great to see Erikson on the score sheet.

Gillingham conceded very late to lose 1-0 to Sunderland. Didn't expect anything at the start of the day but gutted to lose the point so late. Still out the bottom 4 for now though.

Woopie....oh well..last season we lost stupidly to West Brom..like to have a crazy result now and then lol.

Intresting draw...the whole thing is still stupid though.

The Manager of the Month curse strikes again Palace have had some good results this season and are pretty decent to watch under Vierra. It was a poor Arsenal performance however I'm sure they will have no trouble beating Brighton this weekend - they can't seem to buy a goal atm.

@Barbadosgirl if you are still around - how do you feel about Akinfenwa retiring?

Very emotional but he will never truly leave Wycombe!!!

@Barbadosgirl

Very emotional but he will never truly leave Wycombe!!!

Yes watching him get his well deserved guard of honour last Saturday was lovely. I hope he will be a part of the team travelling to Gillingham this weekend, he will get a heroes welcome

Seems I was lucky to miss the Palace game getting on a plane.

But at least we haven't got Matt le Tissier tweeting...

Ohh Everton....

Worrying times

Frank looked so sad.

I dont think he was the right choice..its hard!! Hopefully it gets turned around and manage it though but seems the luck you need doesn't happen. Or things go wrong

This will be a long five minutes...

'A grand old team had a grand old day' massive result, especially coming back from midweek. Spurs fans will be pleased as well. MOTM for me was Pickford.

Although I don't want Burnley to go down

Oooh Anthony Gordon 🎶 Didn't expect this result but boy did I enjoy it! Pickford my MoM too.

Can't fault our fans, they were fantastic again.

I did use MN to distract me for the last 10 minutes

Hate that..then you think so much time has passed and check but there's still 5 or so go.

Good win..Nice to see happy Frank

Amazing! What a win for you. And yes, thanks!

Hurrah!!! Didn't expect that scoreline thought be a painful day!

Saints result hurts, although balanced by the Man Utd and Arsenal results.

Some surprising results today. Great result for Everton earlier, felt the last 2 defeats were harsh on them based on how they played (West Ham in particular). Hopefully go on a run now, I'd like them to stay up.

Definately didn't see the 4-0 Spurs result coming after the 1st half, Villa were so much better and could've been out of sight if not for Lloris. Enjoyed the second half though, Son's last 2 goals were outstanding.

Good result for Gillingham 1-1 against Wycombe. Other results went our way too and its very close now. Akinfenwa made time to come over and sign autographs for the Gills fans, the legend .

Didn't enjoy the Arsenal match, obviously, but had great fun at The Bowl watching FC Isle of Man get through the first of their playoffs!

Oh Burnley!

That was a great weekend other than the Saints battering.

Cracking weekend of football! I wish Liverpool had been able to grab the win but must admit that neither side deserved to lose that utterly compelling match. The quality on show from both sides was absolutely incredible.
