Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[deipnosophist]

Good point for the Baggies. The blanket that covers 13 relegation candidates continues to be put through hot wash and has subsequently shrunk to 'largish towel' dimensions. What the relegation battle's final wash reveals is still some months away, but the 1 point accumulation we garnered against West Brom and Bournemouth ensures Everton remains well and truly ensconced in the laundromat.

It was an outrageous pen. Nothing delibate about it!

Nope....not in my opinion.

Especially from the re's angle.

That the ball hit the guy's arm is indisputable.

That he moved his arm is also beyond dispute.

The debatable point is whether or not he moved his arm to gain advantage or if it was a natural reaction.

And from the ref's position it was a toss up, made in a heartbeat.

But it was not an outrageous decision.

That is my opinion anyway....and I would have been claiming it happen EFC had been in Baggies position, don't worry 'bout that

I see Lawro's new years resolution is to remain totally biased and blinkered as ever...
Us to lose 2-0 and his beloved RS to comfortably beat surprise package Burnley 2-0...

Brighton 1 up within 5 minutes against bournemouth. Anyone would think they were 18th in the league or something

Did well,could easily have hit the post from the tiny touch of a tight angle,Brighton look like they will score 2 or 3 so far

They are at home which does give an advantage, whereas we were playing away from home, but it still makes a slight mockery of our attack.

Very true. more shots in 8 minutes than we managed in 90

They'll have more shots on target today than we'll probably get on target in eight games. Slight exaggeration maybe but you get my point.

Watching this game shows how dire we are too watch
We was dire with Koeman
Surely our players cannot be that bad that they can't serve up something watchable
I mean West Bromwich looked more entertaining than us last night
Happy New Year?

has he predicted the RS to lose yet this season?

 

[royalblue66]

Always look for the 30min mark, for our first shot on goal, sad times indeed, which begs the question, WTF do they do at FF ?

 

[RomanReigns]

great point for us

 

[peteblue]

I see Zaha will not be charged with diving.......

No draw at worst all season

 

[maccavennie]

No draw at worst all season

I think this is his 3rd season on the spin where he hasn't predicted a defeat isn't it?
