@dogmeat At the start of the season who would have thunk that from having Tuchel and spending big money, Chelsea would end the season with Lampard after he was sacked by Everton?

That was a weird decision let's face it. Of course my Spurs are never immune to making head scratching decisions themselves

@KiwiPie and Potter getting sacked by two premier sides in a season.. Chelseas a good chance of losing to Bournemouth this weekend as well..

Potter wasn't sacked twice? Brighton continues to do very well and Chelsea seem worse now

true..I should have said departed, still Potter left a Prem Club twice in a season. Brighton have continued to excel without him and are enjoyable to watch that was never in question

The guy that got sacked twice was Flt Sgt Parker and his acrobatic cardigan

ha ha, although he was right that Bournemouth needed a cash injection of which Maxim Demin didn't want to continue..but I am glad GON changed the way we played
edit: no question both Fulham and Bournemouth improved after he left

The Newcastle-Arsenal game was a good watch, and physical. It had a bit of everything - VAR overturning an early penalty (correctly), shots hitting the posts/crossbar, great saves from both goalkeepers, and the right result.

It was a very poor reason to overturn a ref's decision - just because it didn't hit his hand.
Not entirely sure why Lindelof's handball wasn't referred back to the ref to take a look. They seemed to interpret it as not making his body shape bigger despite the fact he moved his hand towards the ball. Very odd. Top 4 race is all on now - although Liverpool do have to keep winning and hoping those above drop more points

@Bovidae Agree on the penalty and first because it hit his leg and second it was obvious, unlike with McGuire, he was trying to get his arm out of the way. The physical nature of the game was good for Arsenal and shows them what they need. But Jorginho!!! Despise the dramatics.

That’s a very handy win for Everton away to Brighton.

Hopefully they have plenty of confidence for their next game.

@KiwiPie They don't seem to want to refer back to the refbecause of the time it takes.
The ref in Fulham's loss at Anfield apologised to Fulham players in the second half (having had the opportunity to view the replay at half time) for awarding a penalty he shouldn't have.
Not sure why he would do that or what difference it would make. In real time on the pitch it was a fair decision. It is VAR that are supposed to have the time and multiple camera angles to get it right.
Instead they seem to decide that everything is a 50/50 call and it should stay as ref's decision. So what the hell is the point.

@bayimports No pressure on Southampton other than working out where to stay in Rotherham next season...
Everyone's now played 35 so easier to sort out permutations
So pick two from
Leeds 19th - 30 points - Goaf Diff -25 1 point from last 5 games
Newcastle (H), West Ham (A), Tottenham (H)Leicester 18th - 30 points -(-15) 5 points from last 5 games
Liverpool (H), Newcastle (A), West Ham (H)Everton 17th - 32 points - (-21) 5 points from last 5 games
Man City (H), Wolves (A), Bournemouth (H)Forest 16th 33 points - (-31) 6 points from last 5 games
Chelsea (A), Arsenal (H), Crystal Palace (A)Today's wins massive for Forest and Everton. Can't see that may wins from these remaining 12 games so I reckon Leeds and Leicester are for the drop. Big Sam will pocket half a mill for achieving fuck all.
Their only potential lifeline is maybe West Ham drop points as they're now safe and might be focusing on Europe to try and retrieve their season.

very true, will have a close eye on the championship playoffs to see who their biggest competition will be next year.. Sunderland the big finishers with momentum, could be the smokey
