merry xmas all

Martina's facial expression during the whole goal blew it for me. Just a lucky thwack . Can't remember the name of the Asian palace player that scored against Stoke last week but that goal was more measured and deliberate. Both would have been improved upon had they hit the woodwork and bounced out #therulez

Woolwich messing up as per usual. Great strike though for the first goal.

On tenterhooks for today's match at Watford, they are full of confidence, playing well, scoring goals through deeney and ighalo, just off the European places and it'll be a tough game, even though many will still believe as a newly promoted team they should be turned over...
Good thing is we're at there's so won't have to come out and make all the play...
Should be a good game, hoping we get to see more of Son.

Off to hike upto a dam, no reception, the smell of cowshit in the air, working up a thirst, and desperate to know we've kept marching on...

Braced for the most boring sporting event of the year- when sideways meets the bus.

What time are you on?

Can't wait to see who will pay £40m+ for Ighalo

Also that second Shaqiri goal, holy shit

As an Everton fan I ain't even mad Bruv.

The way Bojan just puts the ball to him on a plate as well. Maaaaaaaan.

that was class from Shaqiri

That were class that.

Everton vs Stoke is a corker.

Several top goals.

That cross from Arnautovic though...

Neverton doing their utmost to get zero points from this one 😃

I wonder if Arsenal will shit themselves again tonight

I reckon Villa could still beat Derby's record.

No chance. I don't think the moons will ever align in such a way again.

WTF is wrong with 4-4-2

Fuck sake Van Gaal.

4-2-3-1 for both teams, worried that Martial will have Ivanovic om toast to today.

Gotta feel for Remi getting injured when he had a chance today.

Just been having a rather heated debate, as to what is, and isn't a foul, vis a vis the "He touched the ball defence"

My view is, (And always has been, whatever the circumstances)

A good tackle is one that means the forward ends up without control of the ball because of the way the defender plays the ball (Either he moves it out of range of the forward being able to play it, or he traps it). If after winning the ball, the he ends up in a position where the forward falls over him, then that is part of the tackle.

If a defender touches the ball slightly, then trips a forward who can no longer get to a ball 3 feet away, that he could get to before being tripped, then its a foul.

I'd be interested on other peoples' views (As long as they match mine)

For the record, I don't expect Pisti to see eye to eye with me on this today.

I've just seen an utterly woeful half of football from West Ham.

Appalling.

At least Rafa didn't get the job...

Mikel has been at Chelsea for nine years. Why?

Happier?
